Way to mimic user/pass browser popup?
I've hit a serious roadblock, and would appreciate any advice: I've written a Revolution app that configures a DSL modem. This DSL modem contains a web-server with configuration data that gets passed from it. I have successfully used Revolution to get and pass data back and forth to the modem to make/drop connections, request info about the unit, etc. I've been able to test the success of the software I've written by going into IE and typing the IP address of the DSL router and going to various URLs on the pages hosted in the hardware. I was 99% complete until the client surprised me with a new feature - - - admin login access. Without it, I cannot access any data from the router. The good news is, if I go into IE and go to the "getmodeminfo" URL, I get prompted (via an IE popup) to enter the admin userid and password and join a realm. After I enter it in IE, I am able to continue browsing the configuration pages within the DSL modem. IE is just for testing, we are using Revolution for the actual software. The bad news is, if I go to the exact same URL in Revolution (using the put URL URLvar into x call), I do not get a userid/password popup. Without this popup, or a means of mimicing what IE is doing when it displays the popup and passes it back to the server, I'm sunk. My problem is that I don't really know what causes a web-browser to display a login prompt, and even if I did, I wouldn't know the http protocols for passing the data back. I did notice that Revolution offers a great means of creating custom HTTP headers, if that's of any help. Any http gurus on the list who could be of help? I'm authoring this for Mac OS 8/9 and X. - Rob ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: app crashes frequently
It is a known bug in the IDE for 1.1.1 and will be fixed in 2.0 (it already is in the alpha version). I never see the bug in existing projects but see it right away in new ones. Since the Revolution folks have never characterized it (beyond saying that it is a bug in the Mac OS) so it is hard to know what triggers it.

TCP is more complicated, but has more options. Anywayz, if you're using UDP (thus saying "open datagram socket" instead of "open socket") you shouldn't need to use read from socket and write to socket. At least that's what I know from my little bit of RunRev experience. I'm actually trying some things out with TCP. If I get it done, I guess I'll post it on the mailing list, so check if you want.

Re: NEW! Eps Import version 03
Hi Alejandro, I think your EPS import is great! I tried v2 and liked it, and your v3 is even better. Some of the EPS files I use come from a graphics application made by Barco-Graphics. They are well known in the printing industry, but not in the desktop software market. Anyway, I have attached a sample EPS file for you to play with. I can't get any Barco created EPS files to import into your program. I have e-mailed a sample to you (off-list). Will you also be doing EPS Export? I could really use that functionality as well. Thanks for sharing your creation with the Rev community! EPS import is really looking better and better! Keep up the good work.

Note that Norton Auto-protect will hose up some RevGoURL commands. Anything from a bad browser launch, to "Blue screen of death", to spontaneous reboot. This is a known issue, but seems to be more Norton related than Rev related (there are tons of reports of apps that get screwed by "auto-protect.")

It's the line-counting. Traversing indexed arrays is a faster operation than counting lines, which includes not only getting a line put appending new lines to the end of a chunk.

Re: usage of "this"
> if tCalcType is not empty then go to first card of stack tCalcType as toplevel -- close the the current... the stack we were just in. -- close this stack -- nope; "this stack" has now changed! close stack "FacilityCalculator" end if While I'm still simply a newbie lurker... I think your answer lies in a post on 10/24 from Rob Cozens titled "Heads Up For HyperCard Stack Converters ". Jim, Alex, et al: To expand my previous post, I believe "this" can always be interpreted as "the current". For example, suppose I'm at card A and click on a button whose handler takes me to card B. If the short name of "this card" is displayed, it should be "A" before 'go to card "B"' and "B" after. In the scenario above, dynamicPaths determines whether card A and its controls or card B and its controls receive messages after 'go to card "B"'. In standard RunRev (dynamicPaths = false) card A and its controls continue to receive messages until the handler ends. In converted HC stacks (dynamicPaths = true) card "B" receives all messages after 'go to card "B"'. IMFO, Apple & HC did it wrong here: If one clicks on a control that goes to another card with dynamicPaths = true, the mouseLeave message is sent to the new card, not the one you just left. Without workaround scripting, the mouseLeave handler will generate a runtime error if there is no control on the new card with the same name, id, or number (depending on your form of reference) or the handler references other controls missing from the target card. Way back when, before I knew about dynamicPaths, I asked Kevin to test the above scenario. I was SO pleased RunRev did not display HC's behavior in this regard. Virtually every OenoLog button with a mouseLeave handler contains or references a workaround for the dynamicPaths problem...it will feel SO good to delete all that verbiage. -- Rob Cozens CCW, Serendipity Software Company http://www.oenolog.com/who.htm "And I, which was two fooles, do so grow three; Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee." from "The Triple Foole" by John Donne (1572-1631) ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

RE: Way to ensure Rev app stays on top?
Its difficult to suggest a full solution as I don't know the full picture. However, A slightly contrived solution is as follows using Web Pages and a bit of Javascript. It doesn't keep Rev on top, as such, but places the web browser in a position away from the Rev app, so its visible (as Rob suggested - I think). I assuming the following is happening (?) 1. A rev app is launched - positioned top left of screen 2. This rev app sends an HTML file to the browser 3. The browser opens the web page 4. There is some interaction between Rev and the Web Page Click here (the equivalent of Rev launching a URL - RevGoURL(tURL)- ) http://www.GaryRathbone.net/win5.html It may be polite to return the Browser to the users location and size after use. This has been tested on W2k with IE6. Look at the source of the HTML page to see how its done. NOTES i) Whilst this is a 'live' web solution I don't see any reason why the web pages can't be held and passed locally ii) Using Rev as a 'Web Capture' application see http://www.GaryRathbone.net/RevServ also presents other options.
