RE: Can't do the math
Strange, I have tried this on 2 different systems and my way works fine. Incidentally, I am running MC and not Rev, but Rev uses the MC engine so it shouldn't make any difference. Specifically I've tried it on Solaris(Sparc) and Windows2000. -Glen Yates -Original Message- From: Bill Vlahos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 5:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Can't do the math Here is a clearer rendition of what I meant.

RE: Can't do the math
When parsing words, multiple spaces are ignored, so word 3 ends up being the first user in the group, not the group number you want to test against, so try this instead. set the itemDelimiter to ":" repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in varAllGroups if item 3 of line x of varAllGroups > 100 then put first item of line x of varAllGroups & return after field "allgroups" end if end repeat -Glen Yates -Original Message- From: Bill Vlahos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 3:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Can't do the math Using Rev 1.1.1B1 on Mac OS X the if statement below doesn't work correctly.

Crazy for cursors
I have 1.1.1B1 installed on several development Macs (mostly OS X). When I look at the Image Library on one of them I see a Custom Cursors library. However, I only see it on one of the computers and not the others and I can't tell where it comes from. 1. How do I get it to the other installations (I don't see a "cursors file"? 2. How can I embed it into the stack? I can insert either the image or button reference but there is no button for cursor.

Though RR uses the MetaCard engine, and is similar to HC, it's still a new environment. I'd think many could benefit from the archived data. I'd love to have it, but I need some idea how much _memory_ the files take up. I want to put them and all the docs on a separate older machine dedicated to nothing but reference, so I can access them without toggling in and out of the stack I'm working on. The effect would be similar to having a reference book (like HYPERTALK THE BOOK 2.2) open next to the computer, something I do all the time with HC. In fact, if I set it up integrated with Geoff's "revrtfer.rev" stack, lookups would be faster than the book, plus I could have the docs show me relative archival stuff, too. I, for one, am glad you did what you did. The files are probably too large to send in email, eh? If you can burn a disk (standard disks can hold 700mb) playable on older macs, I'd be happy to reimberse you for time, disk, mailing, whatever.

Do you see this same result if you set the pattern property on the Mac (in other words, not transferring the stack)? Or is it only when transferring stacks that have had their pattern set on Windows? -- Jeanne A. E.

Re: wait for messages
Jeanne
I definitely and repeatably measure 30 ticks in the Rev Dev
environment - half a second. No message recognisable by Umbrellaman (nor
Idle nor mouseWithin, which Uman does not watch) triggered the break so
I assume it was caused by an internal "send...in.." or equivalent rather
than a Transcript event message. This was on OS X 10.1.3. Are you really
getting 30 seconds, not 30 ticks, or was that a typo? If you are, why
the difference (it might be a clue to the cause)?
I confirmed it works as you say in the runtime environment ... which is
pretty interesting ... might we have some documentation of this fact
please, while waiting for decisions on a fix...? :-)
cheers

Screenrect and geometry manager
Hello, I created a stack for childs. I want that the window occupies all the screen. To work with all resolution, i use the geometry manager. If i change the size of the stack, with the stack properties, its works, but only for the current card. In the openstack script i put : set the rect of stack "theStack" to the screenrect but the size of objects does not adapt itself in a standalone. How tell to all cards of my stack to change their size ? Thanks, and sorry for my poor english. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I have taken a look at what "wait for messages" is doing. It works as
documented - that is, it waits until a message is sent - in a standalone
(or in MC, for that matter) but it times out after 30 seconds in Rev's
development environment. In these situations your handler shows results as
you'd expect. My best guess at the moment is that the dev environment is
sending a message every 30 seconds that has the effect of timing out wait
for messages I'm still getting more info on this and whether it might
be changeable.
But it does work properly in a standalone, or when launched without the
development environment running.
