MC betas

2002-03-13 Thread Klaus Major

Hi Scott,

if you read this:

any chance to mirror the new betas somewhere, too ?

As long as your ISP is doesn't support anonymous ftp ?

I would love to check these new versions...
(Maybe i am not alone... ;-)

Stray lines

2002-03-13 Thread Ray Horsley

Does anyone know how to get rid of stray lines which remain on screen after
using a pulldown button?  I'm getting a border where the pulldown's
rectangular area of contents opened on mouseDown.  I've only found this on
Windows 98 (it was a Dell OptiPlex, GXA machine).

Thanks,

Re: Feature request: open stack visuals

2002-03-13 Thread Shari

Not only does this demonstrate window cloaking of sorts, but it 
can also do a simple magnify effect.  A reset button is included but 
will have to be messed with to work correctly on Windows without 
recapturing the stack window (interesting that taking a capture on 
the Windows desktop reveals any hidden MC windows).

The above technique was recently discussed a bit on the list.  At a 
high level, faking a custom window is fairly easy to do, but it is 
not a very good workaround for 2 reasons:

1) If the user switches to another application and places yours in 
the background, any changes to foreground window positions will not 
be reflected in your false backdrop.

2) In OSX, all windows are drawn with a live dropshadow cast by the 
window's true dimensions, thus any fake masking is clearly visible.

Still waiting anxiously for a custom window solution in MC 2.4... :-)

As it's intended for use on Mac, Windows and OS X any solution that 
will not work on all three is out.  With my neat new tool Metacard, 
all projects from here forward get coded once, specifically for cross 
platform compatibility, with no changes to the stacks later (except 
improvements, bug squishes, etc. :-)

It's tough because there are still XCMD's I'd love to use, one 
specifically that queries Internet Config for the user name, or ones 
that get the specific machine id (I've followed that thread and tried 
out the final piece of code that was cross platform, but it produced 
a popup dialog window asking for the location of Apple System 
Profiler, as mine is not in the Apple folder.  I figure if mine 
isn't, others aren't, and I'd rather avoid having someone else get 
that dialog and wanting to know what it's all about.)

I'd love to use the resource fork still for sounds and graphics, it 
would be so much simpler!  If I edit a graphic, just paste the new 
graphic where the old one was.  But I want cross platform programs, 
to expand my user base so lots more people can register my programs, 
so some sacrifices to accommodate Microsnot are necessary.

Speaking of graphics, it would be nice if Metacard recognized slots, 
so that you could have several small graphics together in an image, 
and just pull one from the appropriate slot as needed.  So that 
makers of adventure games don't end up with 1000 icon sized graphics 
to import.  Though the slots should be rectangular rather than true 
square, as that is the standard size for this ...

So that when you say set the icon of btn x to slot 15 of image id 
1234 you get just that one slot's image :-)

If it is a screen redraw issue, you could do:

lock screen
unlock screen

and that will force a redraw.

Maybe. Or the missing quotation mark isn't in a place that the parser can 
accurately recognize, so it can't get a value for the location. You may 
just have to scan through the script searching for quotes and making sure 
all pairs match.

Interesting idea, Shari.

The closest you can get to this is just by setting the fileName of 
images and managing the files in a directory system on your hard 
drive.  I like this system a lot (mostly since it's the only one I'm 
familiar with, I'm too scared to import all those images and try to 
keep track of them with only my eyes!) , and it makes changing an 
image much easier.  Though you can't simply paste in a graphic in 
ResEdit, you can simply track down the gif or jpeg image, open it up 
in graphicconverter, paste in your new graphic, save and you're done!

Next thing I'm hoping for is a new property for images to complement 
fileName - alphaMaskFileName... mmm... imagine the funky effects you 
could produce with that!

Feature idea/request: move object along equation

2002-03-13 Thread Karl Becker

I have an idea for improving the move command but I'm having a 
tricky time figuring out how the syntax, and even the concept itself, 
would work.  I'd like to be able to use the move command to move 
objects in non-linear, time-variable ways.

If, let's say, the current move command moves objects like a billiard 
ball that rolls straight across a table and stops after a particular 
time period, this new move command would be like a subway train 
starting from a dead stop, accelerating up to a constant speed, 
turning this way and that, changing its acceleration along the way 
(both + and - ) , and eventually stopping.

I know I could use a repeat loop (or do a bunch of send...in 
messages) and manually set the location of the object each time to 
achieve an effect similar to this, but calculating all that can cause 
a serious performance penalty (especially on Mac OS X, where using 
the move command produces motion ten times more fluid than using a 
bunch of set the location of commands) .

One way I had envisioned this working would be with a command like this:
move  object  from  a starting x-value  to  an ending x-value 
along  some math function, in the form of (2x-3) or (x^3 - 2x^2 + 
3/4x - 5)  (in some separate time periods that would be 
differentiated by the x-values, like (in 2 seconds for 3x7) )

The last part would mean it would take the object 2 seconds to move 
from through the range of x-values of 3 to 7 in 2 seconds.

The syntax needs cleaning, and I don't even know if this is feasible 
to implement, but it would be great if scripters could offload moving 
lots of objects even more onto the system than they currently can 
(not having to make their own scripts for moving things in non-linear 
lines) .

I'd even be happy if someone could dream up a way to move things in 
linear lines but in different time periods (from x1,y1 to x2,y2 in 2 
seconds, then from x2,y2 to x3,y3 in 8 seconds, etc...) .

Apologies for the long message, but I think a feature like this would 
really be quite useful.  Hopefully I've explained it clearly enough. 
I've had enough words to do so  :-)

This is a screen driver bug.  You'll most likely have to update the
drivers to the latest version from the vendor.  In some cases turning
acceleration to its lowest level in the System and/or Display control
panels will also work around the problem, but in some other cases (and
Dells that shipped with Windows 98 are among the worst in this

 In respect to a particular app I'm developing.. just a simple p2p mac/pc 
 file/msg transfer program.
 
 I can't have a server involved (yet), and the users know little about ftp 
 etc but they do understand what a phone number is, so basically the IP 
 address of their machine becomes their 'phone number'. Instead of providing 
 each with a piece of paper with their IP address (not helpful because the 
 users could be anywhere) I would like them to just run the app.. if 
 connected to the internet use the IP for that (andu suggested a check for 
 www.yahoo.com but who can guarantee yahoo be around a year from now) else 
 connected via LAN adpater so display the associated address (in this 
 particular case I know the users will have either a modem or 1 LAN 
 adapter). Once they know their IP address, that can be shared with other 
 users etc..  they can 'dial'  connect with each other. Just easier from a 
 user ( programming) perspective.

Unfortunately I think this won't work.  IP addresses change, in some
cases with each time you open a connection.  At the very least, with
DHCP (which most large networks use), you can get a different address
each time the machine reboots.  The only way to do what you want is to
have some sort of server that collects the IP addresses and
distributes them to the other clients.  And of course this means
opening a connection to a server, at which point figuring out the
local IP address is a no brainer because it comes in as a parameter
with the socket messages you get from that server.

What you are asking for is the equivalent of ease in and ease out 
features of animation packages.  Percentages are one way to specify 
where the acceleration or deceleration occur: ease out 20% would mean 
the moving object starts to slow down during the last 20% of the overall 
moved distance.  So in theory, you could write syntax as:

move grc ball from 10,10 to 100,100 easein 20 easeout 40

...to accelerate the moved object to the moveSpeed during the first 20% 
of the moved distance, and decelerate during the last 40%.  One could 
get even more complex defining how quickly the acceleration/deceleration 
takes place within the easein/easeout intervals, but even just the above 
percentage control with a fixed a/d rate would be very much appreciated.

Can we get this?...

icon id 3001 where are you?

2002-03-13 Thread erik hansen

the custom icons created in HC and opened in MC
cannot be found. in HC they are referenced to the
stack and appear in the icon window with the id
the creator chooses. guys 4001 etc., dolls 3001
etc. where they can be edited. after going
through tutorials, concepts, and references, re:
icons  images, the dancers remain elusive. My
Icons shows no trace, Icon Chooser- nothing.

are custom icons supposed to show up somewhere to
be edited? or could my Properties dialog bug be
the culprit...
