Can I edit button scripts in browse mode?
If RunRev is in browse mode, you can still hit command-K to get to the stack script. However, for reasons that I don't get (hint: explain it to me, please) the popup there gives me only the stack scripts. To get to a popup list of button (field...) scripts I need to go out of browse mode, click a button, blah blah. (And the list of button &c scripts does not list the stack scripts. Why?) I would like to edit button scripts in browse mode without having to click 500 objects. Is that possible? If not, is there a reason for this? -- Victor Eijkhout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> tel: 865 974 9308 (W), 865 673 6998 (H), 865 974 8296 (F) http://www.cs.utk.edu/~eijkhout/ ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Is there a traceback?

the mouse
(I'm new to rev and new to this list. I downloaded rev a few days ago and my son immediately found that "the mouse" does not work as described in the documentation. I wisked off a bug report. And just now discovered that it has been a topic of discussion on use-revolution; this should be a lesson to me.) I, too, think the documentation says that "the mouse" returns the state of the mouse at the call. This opinion is not informed by heritage. My opinion does not match the behavior of "the mouse". Consider this script (which does not beep)... on mouseUp repeat for 60 times put the mouse into field "mouseValue" --put the mouseClick into field "mouseClickValue" wait for 500 milliseconds end repeat end mouseUp During this 30 second test, when the mouse button is pressed the value of the field "mouseValue" changes to "down". However, when it is released, it does not change to "up". I think this is not the correct behavior. If it isn't, I have what might be a temporary workaround. If it is, then "the mouseClick" interferes and thus there still is a bug. (I also think "the mouseClick" has a problem, but it is probably a documentation problem.) If the "--" is removed for the commented line, the function "the mouse" works as I expected. (Or similar; my testing is light.) If "the mouse" is to be fixed eventually, then one can make a temporary function with the workaround. None of this is comment on whether the above handler represents good rev practice or style. Perhaps the wait should include "with messages". Dar Scott ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I am having a hard time getting arrow keys to work as I want in a text field. I want pressing the arrow keys to move me within the text of the field, not jump to another field. The textArrows property is presumably designed to handle this, but it doesn't seem to work properly with a grouped field-- pressing an arrow key causes a jump to another field (or a jump _somewhere_), but does move the cursor within the field.

Re: Moving the cursor
I am working on an instructional stack and it would be helpful to move the "hand" cursor around the screen to show the user where to click. I've looked everywhere and tried everything I can think of. I seem to remember us being able to do this in HyperCard. Does anyone know the answer?

Re: Convert time in short system time to 24hr military format
Steve Not sure you got an answer to this particular question. To convert the selection from 12 to 24 hour time, first convert it to seconds with twelveHourTime true, and then set twelveHourTime false and convert the seconds back into time. regards David On Thursday, March 7, 2002, at 05:22 , Steve L wrote: > Hello, > > I have a drop down selection field that allows the > user to select a time, that is in "short system time" > format (being that most people are familiar with that > format). > > However, once selected I need to convert that time > selection into 24 hour military time format. > > I tried puting that field into a container then tried > to covert it via the twelveHourTime set to false, but > I cannot make it work. > > I believe the problem may be due to the twelveHourTime > true/false can only be used to set or convert by > reference of the system time, but not able to set or > convert a time format that is in a container. > > Any thoughts on how to due this would be greatly > apreciated. > > Thanks > > Steve L. > > __ > Do You Yahoo!? > Try FREE Yahoo!
