Re: use-revolution digest, Vol 1 #253 - 15 msgs
I find that whenever I use the eraser tool in the paint palette, Rev 1.1 or rev 1.1.1b crashes immediately. Is anyone else finding this? Is there a workaround? I am trying to edit a converted HC stack. Sincerely, John R. Brauer, Psy.D.

revShowPrintDialog: Cancel print and other things
Hi, How do I cancel a print job when using revPrintText or revPrintFIeld? I use revShowPrintDialog true,true and I can cancel the printing if I select Cancel during page setup but if I click Cancel during dialog the job still prints. Also, how persistent and what is the scope of the showPageSetup and showPrint parameters of revShowPrintDialog? When I comment out the rSPD command, the last sPS and sP parameters used are still in effect.

He wants to click on/over these and get different behavior depending on the zone. He has tried invisible buttons and graphics but these don't seem to get mouseUp messages. I haven't touched Hypercard for maybe a decade, it seems. But, I thought there was a way to do this. -- This is wonderful news! Good for him! There are several approaches: 1) Make your objects (controls) and their 'parts' transparent. They're still there and can interact with the mouse, but you see right through them, like pieces of cellophane. I use transparent buttons and fields quite often. Sometimes I make them so I can see them for positioning and alignment, then set their opaque properties to false. 2) Set zone boundaries in script variables and use mouseMove to tell if you're within a certain zone. This is more difficult and you can't do much with the mouse except in the card or image domain. You can constrain mouse activity (but not the cursor itself). 3) Build your full screen image out of borderless smaller images, like puzzle pieces. This will take some time, but it's a wonderful way to do it because of the scripting manipulation possibilities. Something to think about.

Quicktime flickers
If I place a quicktime movie into a group which displays across multiple card in Mac OS 9, the quicktime movie loses its picture for a moment when going to another card. On OS 10 the flicker behavior doesn't happen. Is there a way to keep this from happening in OS 9.x ?

The color-palette? Is that the window with properties (color) in the title bar? I don't see where to set the ink. We might try this with other controls, such as a polygon and see if that works there, too. Thanks!

Re: Scanning machines on a network
My tinkering with Revolution has gotten to UDP. I have been able get UDP working, so I think the above can be done in Revolution. However, I don't have a way to get the local IP, yet. (Receiving UDP is weird; at least it is the way I did it.) Here is a script to get your local IP address and store it in a field: local testSock on mouseUp put line 1 of hostnametoaddress(yahoo.com) :80|testSocket \ into testSock open socket to testSock with message socketReady end mouseUp on socketReady pSock put hostAddress(pSock) into fld Local IP address close socket testSock end socketReady Cheers, Sarah ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Program Linking
Is Revolution capable of program linking, is there a answer program command, that works on Macs. Obviously wouldn't between PC and Mac as they don't like each other. Jim ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
