I discovered this information by entering "screenRect" in the Transcript

[lifepaintandpassion]

Can you actually on openStack find out the users screen resolution
(screenRect?) and if it's less than 1024x768 not open the stack (or give a
warning them close it)?

Thanks.

Greg,

There may be a better way than this, but it should work.

Time how many seconds each movie is.  Use the seconds function
as a timer to figure out when to stop each movie and when to
start the next.

Good Luck!

Hi All
This should not be difficult, but I can't just get it to work.

I want to play a series of sound files (xxx.aiff) one after another. 
I am using Quicktime player objects (as I may need to use MP3's later

They all want to play at once. I have tried "wait until the sound is

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I do not use the limited version so my ideas are untested against a ten 
line limit. A couple of ways you can limit your script lines and 
accomplish the task are:

You know where the data is so no dialog is required (just a warning if 
the get fails, if it fits)
Read in the data with "get url" rather than open, read and close.
Code the six field IDs as a literal item string ("1001,1007..."etc) and 
then use a repeat loop to put the data lines into the corresponding 
fields.

See how that goes.

[lifepaintandpassion]

Jeanne,

I didn't follow you instructions for adding HTML and email links to
textwithin a field.

There are a number of these links in a single field. I can make a certain
word/etc a link using the style pallete but how do you code that specific
link to work? How do you specify that those words link to a web site when
you can't script individual words just the field? Does this make sense?

And does this apply to links of the mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] as well?

All...

I have a button that will need to save the content of six single line fields
to a text file called "saved_prefs" in the same directory as the app. When
the user later opens that card again the openCard script will need to read
that info back in to those six fields if a text file named "saved_prefs"
exists. Help please. Is this possible using the starter edition (e.g., the

In the loop, you have the expression (line i of field "Directory") four
times.  Each time, Rev must retrieve the text of the field (much slower than
retrieving contents of a variable), and walk through it counting line breaks
until it finds the "i'th" line.  So in the days of HyperCard, you would have
found a considerable speedup by doing this:

   put empty into button "names"
   put empty into vName
   put field "Directory" into theData -- only retrieve this once
   repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in theData
 put line i of theData into oneLine -- find the line once
 if item 1 of oneLine & " " & item 2 of oneLine <> vName then
   put item 1 of oneLine & " " & item 2 of oneLine into tName
   put tName & return after button "names"
   put tName into vName
 end if
 put i into field "Records"
   end repeat

Actually you don't even need to access the line four times, as you calculate
the same expression twice:

   put empty into button "names"
   put empty into vName
   put field "Directory" into theData
   repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in theData
 put line i of theData into oneLine
 put item 1 of oneLine & " " & item 2 of oneLine into tName
 if tName <> vName then
   put tName & return after button "names"
   put tName into vName
 end if
 put i into field "Records"
   end repeat

(that would have made a considerable difference, but now that the expression
is only parsing the single line, it probably doesn't do much.)

Because putting data into a button or field is even slower than getting it
out, depending on whether you expect to find a lot of unique names, it may
also be worth assembling this in a variable in the loop, so that it only
gets assigned to the button once:

   put empty into allNames
   put empty into vName
   put field "Directory" into theData
   repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in theData
 put line i of theData into oneLine
 put item 1 of oneLine & " " & item 2 of oneLine into tName
 if tName <> vName then
   put tName & return after allNames -- accumulate
   put tName into vName
 end if
 put i into field "Records"
   end repeat
   put allNames into button "names"
 
Finally, Rev has a brilliant speed-up available: replace the counting loop
which requires Rev to locate the "i'th" line each time with a "for each"
loop, which allows Rev to just move a couple of pointers through the data:

   put empty into allNames
   put empty into vName
   put field "Directory" into theData
   put 1 into i -- now have to maintain progress counter explicitly
   repeat for each line oneLine in theData
 put item 1 of oneLine & " " & item 2 of oneLine into tName
 if tName <> vName then
   put tName & return after allNames
   put tName into vName
 end if
 put i into field "Records"
 add 1 to i -- now have to maintain progress counter explicitly
   end repeat
   put allNames into button "names"

My guess is that by the time you've done all that, you'll be down to a
second or so.  If not - then remove the probably redundant progress
indicator (remember that putting text into fields is quite slow) and it will
be.

Yves

I do not know enough about your application to be sure this will work 
for you but have you considered reversing the index and content? 
Provided the names were unique, you could enter
set the cname["Peter"] of  to "student"
That is, you address by name rather than by Prof/student with the 
content being their title.

This way you do not need to know which is the next index for an entry 
but you are still able to recover the title for any student or in a loop 
the list or count of Professors or students.

I thought this was one of the features of content-addressable arrays.

Re: setprops, which property?

Niklas,

I don't think there is currently a way to do that. If you have:

setProp myArray theValue
  -- stuff here
  pass myArray
end myArray

... and you execute "set the myArray[10] of this stack to 100", you will
trigger the setProp handler, and 'theValue' will contain '100', but you
won't be able to retrieve the '10' key.

Am I wrong? I'd love it if I were...

Re: Array

[Ken Ray]

Yves,

I was assuming that you were having an equal number based on the example you
submitted.

If there are going to be unequal divisions, I would recommend storing your
index value in another custom property (like 'cName[index]') and then
increment that with each "record". So instead of this:

  put the number of lines of keys(cName) into numKeys
  put (numKeys/2)+1 into nextIndexNum
  set the cName[student,nextIndexNum] of  to "Peter"

You'd do this:

  put the cName[index] of  +1 into nextIndexNum
  set the sName[student,nextIndexNum] of  to "Peter"
  set the cName[index] of  to nextIndexNum

Just my $0.02,

I have done some further testing, and report the following:

1. If the button's 3D property is not checked, a border is drawn 
around the button on mouseLeave.  That border remains until another 
button in the group receives mouseEnter.

2. If a button's Show Border box is checked, the button will not arm on enter.

3. Without this handler in the group script:

on mouseLeave
   if "button" is not word 1 of the target then exit mouseLeave
   set the arm of the target to false
end mouseLeave

An armed button remains armed until another button in the group 
receives mouseEnter.

It's the name of the handler:

No, sorry, just groups.

Attention, if you delete a group, then it is gone forever.

Better use this syntax to place and remove groups

...
   place bg "name here" onto card "name of card here"
...

or

...
   remove bg "name here" from card "cardname here"
...

But sorry, i don't understand what you mean by
"'sync' up with the other cards?"

Anyway, hope this helps...

Yeah, that's ugly, isn't it ;-)

background behavior questions

[JohnRule]

I have some questions about background behavior:

Can I apply background behavior to anything (i.e. a field, a button, etc.)? 
This works very well on a group, but I could not seem to apply this to a text 
field or button.

If I delete a group (or object) that was 'common' to all cards, and then I 
want to put it back, is there a way to get it to 'sync' up with the other 
cards?


Thanks,
JR

there are 2 ways.

The first is to set an entry in the windows-registry, which will cause 
"YourApp"
to launch after windows is started. (Everytime !)

Advantage:
When you place an alias of your app in the windows-startup-item-folder 
(there is one, but i have
no PC at hand to tell you the exact name of that folder, which would be 
solution number 2 tehn ;-)
you can prevent the launching of your app by holding the shift-key while 
windows is starting.
(Yes, the same shortcut as on a mac, funny, isn't it ;-)

With this registry-entry you cannot prevent your app to launch, except 
by setting this reg-entry to empty :-)

The following script is ONLY tested on Win98, so no guarantees for other 
windows-versions !!!
But should work anyway...

on xxx
   ##put the path to "YourApp.exe" into the_app
  replace "/" with "\" in the_app ### we have to speak "windows"
 get 
setregistry("HKEY_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Run\YourApp", the_app)
end xxx

To delete that entry again, set the entry to empty.

on xxx
 get 
setregistry("HKEY_local_machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Run\YourApp", "")
end xxx

"YourApp" is in this case the name of the registry-entry, which you can 
set to "" (empty).
This way the entry will be deleted.

This assumes the number of entries in student and prof are equal
If I have 4 entries for student and 1 for prof and I don't know how 
much entries because this is variable ?
How to proceed ?

Re: Array

Title: Array



Yves,
 
To know how many lines are stored in the custom propery you can reference 
the keys() function and get a line count, as in 
 
  put the number of lines of keys(cName) into numKeys
Assuming you have two keys per "index" (one is "student" and one is 
"prof"), you would divide 'numKeys' by 2, and then add 1 for the next index 
number:
 
  put (numKeys/2)+1 into nextIndexNum
 
Then, set your array to the next element:
 
  set the cName[student,nextIndexNum] of  to 
"Peter"
 
Note that variables can be used inside the array definition (nextIndexNum), 
but if you mistype it, it will use the string as part of the array. For 
example:
 
  put 2 into Fred
  set the cName[student,Fred] of this stack to "Ken"
 
'Fred' will be recognized as a variable and will be resolved to '2', which 
will set the cName[student,2] of this stack. However, if I do this:
 
  put 2 into Fred
  set the cName[student,Fredd] of this stack to "Ken"  -- 
Mistyped 'Fred'
 
'Fredd' will not be recognized as a variable and will therefore not be 
resolved and will be used directly, setting the cName[student,Fredd] of this 
stack.
 
Hope this helps,

Re: Open at Startup - rephrased

[Ken Ray]

Sims,

For windows, do this:

  put specialFolderPath(7) into prefsLocation

When you make your alias on Windows, make sure it has a ".lnk" extension, as
in:

  create alias prefsLocation & "/newApp Shortcut.lnk" to file tFile

Open at Startup - rephrased

[sims]

Maybe I should rephrase the question...

Can I do the following with Windows - if so, how?

WITH A MAC:

If I want to have an app open when I turn on a Mac I can
make an alias (shortcut) to the app and write it to the
"Startup Items" folder. When the Mac is turned on, the Rev
app then automatically opens.



example:
  put specialFolderPath("System") & "/Startup Items" into prefsLocation

create alias prefsLocation & "/newApp Shortcut" to file tFile


Can I do the above with Windows - if so, how?
