custom property
hello, I have a stack with cardsI On each card, there are groups. Each grp has radio btns. Depending on the choices of the user, i want to open a specific text file. The path to the file should be stored in a custom property. So : I build each time a variable that points to one the the text file from the chioce of the radio btns by the user. one custom property set : cPathFiles 10 property set keys in Ppathfiles: cfileA, cfileB, cFileC, and so on The first time the user chose his file, a answer file DLOG store the pathWay of the text file in a variable (pathtoFile). I'd like to store this variable, so that the second time the user makes his choice, I' don't have to ask again where is that file ! 1) How can I store a pathfile in each of the keys of cPathFiles (cfileA, cfileB, cFileC, and so on) ? 2) How can I select one of the key in the cPathFiles ? Thanks. -- Greetings. Yves COPPE Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

How about using a construct like this: set the backgroundColor of graphic Y of group X to "blue" I am not sure from your message whether you know that you can specify objects by their owners like this, but you can.

Re: Repeats and mouse events
I'll try to resist the urge to SHOUT, but, as far as I can tell, the transcript dictionary has "piss poor" documentation of the mouse function. Is there any documentation available of how the mouse function actually works that would predict or explain the behavior of the mouse in the loop script mentioned by Ian Summerfield ? Anyone converting projects from HyperCard or SuperCard might encounter this issue and wonder what is going on. Or is this unexpected and unpredictable behavior simply punishment for "piss poor technique"? Will similar behavior occur with other functions, like keysdown(), optionKey(), etc.? Perhaps just removing the mouse function would be better than misleading or mystifying users about how it might work. I'm sure there's better documentation somewhere that I just haven't found. Thanks for the clarification.

Charles, I'm not following this script well enough to understand the goal. Can you
explain it?
I'm getting out of the script that you want to extend the period for a double-click to
fifteen seconds -- a mouseUp and a subsequent mouseDown within that time generates a
beep and a field message. The message remains until a subsequent mouseUp.
Is that right?

Geoff

This is great community support. Using a Custom Property really opened my eyes to what was possible in Revolution. Previously I had been thinking very linearly, and I need to overcome that. My application is a test that either reads answers from a file to show what was selected or reads input from the user to write the file. read value Y from array[X] and change target Y in group X read target Y in group X and put the value of Y into array[X]. This saves me the trouble of scripting every group and then I can add lots of goodies based on what X and Y are I can only think of accomplishing this by knowing where the object is in the group, hence the question..."how do I determine objects in a group?" Rev support offered repeat with i = 1 to the num of graphics in me ... end repeat But this only works if placed in the group script. To make this work in the stack script I tried being very linear with put word 5 of LongTargetName into MyGroupName repeat with i = 1 to the num of graphics in group value(MyGroupName) ... end repeat The problem comes from the fact that I have graphics in a group and each group can have the same graphic names but with unique Ids. So changing graphic "1" actually only changes the first graphic "1" (ID 123) not the graphic "1" (ID 321) in the group of the target. Is it possible to use target IDs and group IDs? I can't find any way to say Put the objectIDs of group X into Alist --(there doesn't seem to be a way to list objects unlike "put the groupIDs of me into X") Repeat for each line ThisLine in Alist If the id of the graphic ThisLine is not the id of the target then -zac ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Repeats and mouse events
Hi Charles, Jusy so you know, I'm making apps for the disabled, including children. The following is a script I experimented with in Hypercard which uses the addColor XCMD to color hilite buttons, rather than the B&W button Autohilite property. It's simple, and can be used in an offscreen handler that will make all the buttons which call it behave the same way, e.g., just like autohilite. I'd think it would belong in a group script in RR. It's the recoloring technique that you want to look at. on mouseUp autoColorHilite end mouseUp on autoColorHilite addColor,colorButton,bg,id of the target,"39321,26214,13107",2 repeat while the mouse is down if the mouseLoc is within the rect of the target then addColor colorButton,bg,id of the target,"39321,26214,13107",2 else addColor colorButton,bg,id of the target,"52428,39321,26214",2 end repeat -- you can do all your mouseUp operations here OR use a mouseUp handler end autoColorHilite Mark Schonewille came up with this from my original inquiry. I used it to also accomplish mouseUp actions common to all the buttons (the note in the comment space), since they use 'the target' as well. I can see no advantage to writing a separate mouseUp message to activate yet another offscreen common handler in HC, but in RR I think you would use a group handler, right? ...and for Scott R If you don't think this is valid scripting technique, please offer a RR handler that accomplishes the same task. I'd be the first one to admit I have HC habits that may not be necessary with RR. Not all of us in that position are instantly cognitive of the differences, but need to get/keep our apps running.

Hi Jeanne, I've grouped an image with a text field and turned on the group vertical scroll bar to allow a field with graphics in it to scroll. However, it appears that the top or botton edge of the field gets copied onto the field when I scroll up or down. In other words, when I scroll the field up, a horizontal line appears at the bottom of the field which moves up the field as I scroll. In addition, this line continues to be generated repeatedly as I scroll up, each succesive line spaced 8 pixels from the previous one. This similarly occurs from the top of the field as I scroll down. It seems to be a display bug in scrolling a mixed group. I can send you a stack if you haven't seen this before.

No: all backing pixmaps are kept at the screen depth, so it doesn't matter how many colors you use (except maybe in GIF or PNG files, which will compress a little better the fewer colors you use). This is unlike HyperCard which keeps backing pixmaps in 1-bit depth, reducing memory usage and in some cases improving performance, at the expense of requiring hacks like AddColor to do anything in color and being very limited in what you can do even with that.

I can't speak for Lee, but I have no problem with printing from any other application I use in OS X, either Carbon or Cocoa, and my printer is a shared printer on an AppleTalk ethernet network. > Lee > > Sorry to ask such an obvious question, but I have never had a problem > printing under OSX (Rev or anything else) so I just have to do it: do > you have other Cocoa or Carbon apps printing successfully under OSX, not > in Classic? > How is your printer connected? > > thanks > David > > On Wednesday, February 13, 2002, at 05:35 , Lee Perham wrote: > >> >> Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 14:28:26 -0800 >> Subject: OS X Printing Problem >> From: "Ben C.

Does the OSX package have a CD that can boot the computer on OSX 10.1? Just make sure you have a lot of RAM (more than 250 if possible) and sufficient space on the HD. You don't even have to reboot to switch back and forth. If you click on a classic app, including one made with Rev, it will automatically switch to OS9 and vice versa. In fact, the most convenient way to get at the OS 9 control panel or apple menu is just to fire up a classic app. which switches you back to OS9. In addition, make sure to update OS9 and X to the latest available. Software update will not work for this unless you have already installed 'security update' and 'installer update' (and installer update will not install unless you have first installed 'security update'...sigh). It's a great OS, but even the latest update, which supposedly has better net-working abilities, still has problems with my LAN. So, for the moment, I've switched back to OS9.2, the latest incarnation of which is really, really nice! mark mitchell japan ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Maybe this is a silly question: Do you already have text in that field ? The scrollbars of a field do only appear when the text "overflows"...

There was always a part cutt-off of that stack as well on the top as on the bottom. With this script i had no more problems. Check it out... Hope this helps...

save-bug?
Hallo, Seems thats a bug. MacOS 9.1 rev 1.1.1.b1 Save the stack works fine: 1 from top menu and 2 cmd+s if the button messages off is selected then save the stack works fine: 1 from top menu *not* with cmd+s: it opens the "open stack" dialog regards Wolfgang M.

Active field borders and scrollbars
Hi again, When I click in a field to type in it, it lites up a red border around it along with starting the I-beam cursor. How do I prevent the 'active border' from showing? I made my first scrolling field, but it doesn't scroll, has no scrollbar. What's with that? Where is the scrollbar? Best regards, Ken N. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Stack window offset, won't return
Hello, Well, I'm slowly trying to solve crash problems with RR. I finally got my full screen background image aboard. I positioned the stack window full screen: 0,0,800,600, and the image lays right in it OK, but, when I close and reopen, it somehow ends up dropped down 61 pixels, looks like where edge of the icon task bar goes (I have them off). How do I stop this from happening? Best regards, Ken N. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
