Re: Clearing QT video when it's done

2002-11-09 Thread Mark Luetzelschwab



Use the playStopped message

inside of the player script

from memory, so check syntax :)

on playStopped
	if the currentTime of me = the duration of me then
	  # hide the movie or whatever
	   set the fileName of me to empty
	   hide me
   set the topLeft of me to the bottomRight of this card
		# there are many other options that should work (any 
of these should do the trick - you shouldn't need all three)

	end if
end playStopped

Hello,

I=B9m new to RR, I=B9m not a programmer though I used to do a bit of SuperCard
and HC. Thank you in advance for your help.  I=B9m using the Runtime Starter
kit (till I decide) on a Mac G4 os 9.1.

I=B9m running Quicktime video clips in a player using the =B3Set the 
filename o=
f
player 1 to MyClipName, followed by a =B3Start player 1=B2 command. (my thanks
to the examples posted on the website).

When the clip is finished playing, I=B9d like the last frame to disappear. As
it stands, the last frame persists.  I=B9ve tried several variations using th=
e
=B3Done=B2 function hoping to either hide the player or go to another card at
the end of the video.  I can=B9t get the Done function to work.  It seems to
continue waiting even though the video is long over.  Only Cmd-period gets
the script to stop.

I=B9ve tried:
If the movie is done..
If Movie() =3D done...
Wait until the movie is done...
Etc.

Can you recommend a way to clear the screen at the end of the clip?

Many thanks, I have more questions but for now take things one step at a
time. (except for; When is vers 2.0 expected?)

analyze fMRI data with an algorithm of your own, well, you'll better 
learn C.  and sometimes you need structures (struct in C, record in 
pascal) in order to model more complex data, then C or pascal is the

selecting tab button from script

2002-11-09 Thread Mark Swindell
What is the proper way to hilite/select a tabbed button from a script?  I
have two nearly identical navigation tabbed button sets on two different
groups, and when I jump groups it goes to the correct card but doesn't
hilite the proper tab upon getting there.

The select menuItem x of menu 'buttonName' doesn't seem to work, and I
can't locate the info in the docs.  Trying to figure out how tabbed buttons
and menus distinguish themselves.

Most fMRI analyses are now done with SPM.  This system uses scripts in Matlab 
and very few C routines.  Matlab scripts are about as far from programminmg 
as you can get.  The attitude that serious programming is done only with 
procedural languages is just a sentiment expressed by people who have beat 
their heads against the wall of badly designed programming systems who now 
realize that object-oriented scripting systems do the same job without the 
bloody mess on the wall.

Hi Mark,

Try this:
  set the menuHistory of btn 'tabbedBtn' to 2

Hope this helped,

Recording sound

2002-11-09 Thread Richard D. Miller
Being Mac people...we're in the process of moving a project over to Windows
XP and are having problems recording sound. The sound is coming in through
the Firewire port on our Sony VAIO laptop (via an analog video camera hooked
up through an analog-to-digital converter). When we try using the Sound
Recorder app on the PC, it doesn't recognize any sound input.

On the Mac, we had to adjust the Sound control panel by switching the input
to DV Audio. I suspect we have to do the same thing under XP, but haven't
found the way to do this yet. What are we missing?

Thanks.

Subject: Poke the IPTC annotation data space of images?


Platform is MAC OSX:

Does anyone know how to access/write to the IPTC  annotation data space
of a jpg or image file? I don't even really know what the proper
nomenclature is, but some programs like Photoshop are able to add a
caption to a photo that can be read later.

Goal: to be able to write captions for photos and have that data live
in the jpg file itself. Read and write that data from within Rev. Using
a Rev interface I could then delegate photo captioning to other team
players anywhere in the world where they download a photo, write a
caption and upload the photo to our server and I can read the
caption... or, they take photos locally ( as for instance our
correspondent in New Delhi) then we make a Rev interface for him to
view his hi-res digital files, generate low res thumbnails, caption
these and upload to the managing editors space on our server. we read
the jpg and its caption from one and the same file, send him back a
list of files we want, he hits another button and uploads the original
hi-res photos we have selected for the article.

One could of course load photos into images and then use a
customProperty for the caption and that would be highly facile script
wise, but the problem is that the caption no longer lives with the
image. and then re-ordering these on an interface (for output to and
html page) becomes another snaky game (move the image objects around or
re-order the files on disk and reload them into the same series of
image objects) and means a single stack holds data for multiple images
and the collaboration options diminish--someone else has the file open
(LAN scenario), multiple copies of the stack to reconcile (global team
scenario if working on the same photo set) better if the caption data
lives in the image file itself.

Menu problem

2002-11-09 Thread Robert Presender
Hi,
Need help again re menus.  Using OS 10.2.1,  1.1.1 r2, 1.5A7r1

I have a menubar with several btn menus as pulldown:  one of the menus 
has several items:
New
Trans
-
Sort
-

I would like to have the Sort item to be cascading(?) like:
-
Sort  (arrow symbol)  By Date
  By Event
 -

Tried to follow the info in About Menus but have had no success.  Tried 
tabbing Sort to no avail when in properties.  Checked custom to make 
sure Tab was true not false.

Will appreciate help in this matter.  TIA

Regards ... Bob

New Card yields a different size?

2002-11-09 Thread Barry Levine
When I use the menu command New Card to add a card to my stack 
(development environment), the resulting card is taller (about 15-20 
pixels) than the first card even though the card properties declare 
both cards to be the same size. The first card of the stack is 620x460 
pixels.

I could use a little advice if someone feels so inclined.
