(Remember those?) I have this image of lining up database tables much like you'd line up the parts of the slide rule, and then whatever lies under the transparent cursor is the set of matching found records. /nostalgia Dave ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Saving User-Entered Text
Is there a way to prevent RR from being able to open a password-protected stack? Unfortunately not. But you can ask for the password on openstack, which is not really safe... But you cannot see and edit the scripts and cannot copy objects... And you can delete object and save afterwards... Big fun... What do you think of the idea of saving data in the main stack script of an external password-protected stack? Sounds good?

Re: Saving User-Entered Text (The Solution)
Hi Joseph, ... on opencard put url(file:userinput.txt) into fld userinput end opencard et voila you are in the profesional preferences writing-business ;-) Klaus, thanks for the excellent reply. And thanks to all the others who responded to this query. Your solution of using the URL keyword was just what I was looking for (although I wouldn't have guessed that user-modified fields aren't automatically saved in Rev :). I understand the security issues put forth in several other notes, but in my case the user is simply specifying a directory to save text files into. My near-final code looks like this (note: as I'm working on a Windows platform, please excuse the path name ;): on openStack put URL file:/Program Files/TextDisplay/savedir.txt into fld Directory end openStack on closeStack put fld Directory into URL file:/Program Files/TextDisplay/savedir.txt end closeStack I found it interesting that I didn't have to specify which drive (C:\ etc.) I wanted to read/write to even though I have several in my PC. That's col. But i would not rely on that ;-) Also note that the slashes (/) are backwards from normal Windows file path slashes (\) for some reason. That's the way pathnames are handled in RR. They do it internally the unix way and the engines will translate to the proper platform path :-) Regards Klaus Major [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Scroll wheel support works fine for me in OS X and is built into the MetaCard engine as of (I think) version 2.4.3. It does not work in Mac OS 8/9. However, I think you can add the capability yourself with a script. You'll need to trap rawKeyDown, check to see if the mousecontrol is a field, and if so, set its scroll appropriately. The keycode for scrolling up is 65309, for scrolling down it is 65308. This won't work if no keycodes are sent when the wheel is scrolled (which someone reported earlier) but I am pretty sure I had it working in OS 9.

Re: Custom cursors - anyone?
On Tue, 28 Jan 2003 Barry Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Isn't anyone using a cursor of their own design? How is it done? Both RR and MC use these all over the place in their own UIs, so it's certainly supported. The problem is that most image editing programs store images with full colormaps even when only a couple of colors are used. The engine doesn't know what colors are actually used in those images, and so just chooses the first two which are often (usually?) not where the data is actually stored. The solution is simple: just paint on the imported cursor image with one of the painting tools (e.g., paint a black pixel black with the pencil tool) which will cause the engine to do a proper colormap calculation which will allow it to show the image correctly as a cursor. Note that you will have to close the image after painting it and before using it as a cursor, either by closing the card or stack the image was imported onto. Also, note that the built-in painting tools are more than adequate for this kind of work and so there's no real reason to use an external image editing program at all IMHO.

license.rev corruption?
I had my first Revolution crash this weekend. The crash resulted, I believe, in my license key being corrupted, and I think that's probably it. Anyway, the detail below is a little long winded, but insight and feedback would be greatly appreciated. Scenario: Was using the development environment running an application I'd built. When the application is executing there were 5 stacks open. All were main stacks. The primary stack is used to input data which is used to retrieve matching data from one of other open stacks, and then update that stack based on new information that was input. Each of the stacks may, based on the data it was fed, generate printed output. For all of the stacks but one, when printing a card, the card is always printed into a rect, usually the rect of a hidden field on the first card of the stack. The remaining stack (STACK D, lets say) uses cards which are always half-page in size, and therefore it prints the cards as a job. The target printer was an HP 4100 NT. Printing via Appletalk. Primary machine was PowerBook G3 Pizmo running OS 10.2.3.The Odd Things happened using Classic Rev 1.1.1 AND Rev 1.1.1 for OS X.Odd Thing #1 happened when running on OS 9.2.2 on a PowerBook G3 Lombard. After running for several hours (in the Classic environment), Rev hung during a Print Card command - actually one that was generated from the keyboard. I waited several minutes to let things clear themselves, and they didn't. I used the force quit function, but then wasn't able to restart revolution at all. That's when I switched to running Rev for OS X. This ran fine for a couple more hours, then the same thing happened, and I couldn't get Rev to run at all. Restarted the box. No effect. Eventually had to fileshare the stacks to another machine to get up and running.When I got home last night, I downloaded Rev Classic again, and it ran fine. I need my pro license installed to run my app so tried copying my license key over from the old area and restarting Rev. It wouldn't start. So, I simply put the new license key into the old Rev area, and presto, we're running again. So, the $50 question, is the license key actively used while running in the development environment such that it can be corrupted during a crash? If so, does this have any implication on standalone apps? Just a little spooked. Thanks. Ray ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, Multimedia Design Robert, Just to add a bit to Scott's good advice: If you would like some tools to facilitate this kind of drawing, the ideal is Turtle Graphics. You can control the turtle (drawing cursor) with such simple commands as: Relative tools (independent of a coordinate system): Forward,Back, Left, Right, setHeading, etc. Absolute tools (coordinate based): setXY, incrementXY, xyCoordinates(), xCor() etc. . The good people at RR have posted a demo stack in the Education page on the RunRev site: http://www.runrev.com/revolution/education/usercontributions.html Check the User Contributions. This is intended primarily for an elementary course in programing in Transcript and Turtle Graphics for science students, but it may also work for you.

Hi Ray, While I've had a similar thing happen in the past during development, I've never seen it happen from a standalone. Standalones by definition do not require a license key. I usually back up my license key for both RR and MC 'just in case.' Also, do serial backups on your stack while in development. I've a plugin which helps.

Release strategy (Was: public beta?)
I would like to make a suggestions to RunRev, and the reason I am posting it here on the list is to see if other people agree with the suggestion, and if so, I would ask you to let RunRev know that you agree, maybe off-list if that's the most appropriate way. The old Rev 1.1.1 engine has some glitches with Mac OSX Jaguar that must be avoided. However, the problem is already fixed in the engine--but there still haven't been any new releases to the engine. I would say that waiting for new features is not too bad. However many months you wait for a new capability is acceptable, since you can work quite well with what you have now. No problem there, I think people will be happy and patient and look forward to the great new stuff all in good time. That's how I feel about it. But OS incompatibilities are a different story--with something like that which affects the features you currently have, you want a fix sooner. And it may be possible that this kind of situation with Appearance Manager or something else happens again, so I think considering a long term strategy would be a good idea. My proposal is for RunRev to have a strategy that prioritizes fixes for this kind of major issue, so that normally the work would be going on with new features and normal bug fixes for a future release as usual (and not too much hurry on that) but when there is a big OS glitch or something like that, a maintenance release could be offered very soon, perhaps simply the last major version of Rev bundled with the new MC engine and as few changes as are necessary to make that possible. Hopefully the situation wouldn't arise often, but if it did, having this kind of plan in place already would help. Plus, it might even take off a bit of the pressure off feature releases since people aren't also waiting for such vital fixes at the same time. (Personally, I would prefer that there's not too much pressure on people, it's better for the health.) So, I think there would be advantages for both the customers and the developers in having this kind of strategy. Do you think that's a reasonable idea? RunRev, would you consider it? Thanks, Curry (And P.S., just in case anyone would say well why not just get Jaguar, yes, that's a way to do it, and I'm considering that right now--last year, during October-December, it always seemed like Rev would be released soon enough that it wouldn't be necessary. So I will be pursuing that option, or using beta testers. But that still doesn't take away from the need to have a strategy, since it may not be convenient for everyone to upgrade OS right away for one reason or another, and avoiding the glitches will still be an added complication to development. So when the problem is fixed in the engine, it is still necessary to focus on getting that fix to people as soon as possible. And P.P.S., to Toma or anyone who wants to keep track of progress, it does help to subscribe to the MetaCard list too, then you can guage generally how things are going although not exactly, plus you can try out the non Rev-specific features with MC test releases.) ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Displaying two cards in different windows
Hi,
I'm doing an apparent motion laboratory application in Revolution
(which I'll probably end up doing it in Revolution, Java, AND Cocoa
just for the heck of it - it is what the prof is having me do for the
final project in the experimental methods class - I don't want it to
see *too* easy!). Anyway, It needs to switch to images back and forth
at a preset interval.
Currently, I've got the switching set up by alternatively going to
one of two cards in a stack. But can I let the user view (and edit)
both of these cards at once, to create graphic objects ('open cd ## in
new window'?)? Or is there another way I can do this (take a snapshot
of each frame and then swap them into an image object, or using the
Animation Manager? (Animation Manager seems a bit of overkill for just
two or three frames)
Thanks,
Jim Witte

Maybe a frame is a list of controls that are visible on a card. During
editing all are visible. Or did I miss your goal?
Maybe that list can really be a group.
