Re: (no subject)
Hi Jerry, If you have the table entered in Excel or AppleWorks or another spreadsheet, you could always export the data using "Save as" in "Text (tab-delimited)" format. Then you can simply put URL "file:" into theData Now you'll have everything read in a single variable, where the rows are separated by return and the columns by tab ; which you can easily display in a field put theData into field "tableField" If you setup that field with tabStops, and show both the horizontal and vertical grid, you can get a nice look for displaying the data. It's also very easy to convert that variable (where everything is still on several lines) into an array. split theData using return and tab Now you can address any "cell" or "intersection" with put theData[,] Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel.

If you leave them out, the engine tries to perform the first "move"-command before executing the next line of the script (see example below)... So the engine is questioning itself "To move or not to move..."... and gets a hiccup ;-) Try this example: move image "o01" to 200,200 in 2 seconds beep It will only beep after the move has been done unless you add "without waiting". Then it will beep immediately. Hope that helps. Regards Klaus Major [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
OS X native RR apps listed as "Classic"
Since I've been getting a lot of inquiries as to why my OS X native RR apps are designated as "Classic" in their "Get Info" Finder windows, I'd like to know whether this will be "fixed" in the next version of RR, or whether someone could write an application (in RR?) that might adjust the "plist" or whatever is needed to correct this inaccuracy. Does the problem have to do with the file format of the carbon binary (CFM/PEF vs. Dyld/Mach-O)?

Re: insertion point in a field
Sylvain, You can get the selectedChunk. If it is just a blinking insertion point it will return a value which looks odd (something like "char 4 to 3 of field 1", but this is quite useful. You see "char 4 to 3 of field 1" means that the insertion point is blinking between characters 3 and 4 of field 1. Why isn't it "char 3 to 4 of field 1"? Because this would mean characters 3 and 4 have been highlighted (selected), just as "char 3 to 3" would mean that character 3 was highlighted. I know it looks odd, but it works...

Kurt, This should definitely be fixed for the next rev of Rev, since the latest version of MetaCard (on which the engine for Rev is based) is already Mach-O.

screen resolution
So there I am with a full-blown educational CD-ROM all authored on Runtime Revolution; when "Paint me green and call me Willy Wonka" along comes my boss and tells me that most people are going to be pissed-off that the prog is set for a screen res of 1024 x 768!! Bugger, bugger, bugger! start poking around in ye olde RR manual and come up against "screenRect" - dead sexy; it returns something about the screen resolution. However Is it possible to use 'screenRect' to resize my stacks? andmake sure the images contained in the stacks resize with the stacks? Of course, stuck in the stone-age, what we are looking for is a routine which will aloow the program to 'shrink' to a res of 800 x 600 or even 640 x 480 is necessary.

Re: screen resolution
Richmond, What you're looking for is the "resizeStack" message, which will get sent when the stack is resized. You can trap this and manually move/size all your objects... OR you can use the Geometry Manager to have Rev do the coding for you. You select the objects and use the Geometry Manager to say what happens when the stack is resized. I haven't used it much myself, and there have been some bug reports on the list, but it shortcuts a lot of hand-programming.
