Re: htmlText and images
All very good points. Yes I am including the internet library. Otherwise the other html data would not tranfer. All of which works very well. Though it took some tweaking of a simple put the htmltext of into field. Didn;t clean up all the oddball html stuff in some cases. The problem is that the image/graphic is part of the HTML page. I don't wish to download the graphics. Just to show it like it would in a browser and of course I know the browser may cache that data. Basically the html page has some styled text and a graphic in it. like this: h2 align=centerSorry, This feature is not yet active at /h2 p align=centerimg src=http://www.mysite.com/art/logosmall.gif; width=170 height=28/p Of course with all the html header stuff stripped here in the hope it won't bore you or mess up this post. Maybe I do need to download this image separately, but why? And if so, why don't I have to when I am developing the stack in run-rev?

How to prevent stack closure?
This seems a naive question compared with the current list preoccupations, but here goes: I'm designing an app where the user can 'open' a window (stack) which gives some additional info about what's happening, and can then 'close' it again at will, either by a menu action or by clicking the close box on the window. As far as the user is concerned the window just opens and closes, but from the app's point of view it's important that the stack stays open so that stuff can be written to fields in it, etc. Thus in order to give the user what they want and the developer (me) what I want, I need to trap the click on the close box and convert the 'close' to 'hide'. I have already done this successfully with a stack with static content (a help window), by trapping the CloseStackRequest message, as recommended in the Transcript Dictionary. I now find that if the content of the stack has changed, on clicking the 'close' box, even when the browse tool is chosen, I always get a 'Save changes before closing?' message from the Development environment. My CloseStackRequest handler doesn't kick in until the Dev Env has had its turn. How can I change this behaviour, or do I just have to put up with it until my app gets to be a standalone?

You can put the closeStackRequest handler into the card of your stack. You won't get the save message then. This behaviour is fixed in the 2.0 alpha, there you can put the handler into the stack without getting the save thingie. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Color at a location on the screen
Hi Matt, Hello Does anyone know how to find the color at a location on the screen? I've got a small clear circle that drags constrained horizontally over a color bar to select a color. The mouseColor works perfectly as long as the cursor is over the color, but as the clear circle is constrained to the color bar, the cursor can really be anywhere. So I need to find the color at a location, ie where the circle is on the color bar. I've searched under 'screen', 'loc', 'cursor', 'color' and every other combination I can think of. I seem to recall an external or was I thinking of another script language? Cobol? ;-) Thanks again, if anyone knows... M@ check the screenmouseloc entry in the index. You could store the old mouseloc, set the screenmouseloc to the desired point inside your clear circle, get the mousecolor and set the mouseloc to its old loc again... Just a thougth, but should be doable... Hope that helps.

Setting Pixels - Congratulations Monte!
Monte has beat us ALL to the punch! Making his recommended alterations to the little test routine shows us that there is no substitute for a good knowledge of the timing aspects of the Transcript language. The timings on my machine are similar to his. Thanks Monte! So now I can apply all that has been recommended and try a real eraser test. Who knows, it might be agile enough to implement in pure Transcript. That said, of course the problem becomes analogous to the one I had in VB. Pure VB worked more or less OK, but some bright spark eventually found a way of accessing the image data directly, so that procedures like - put the imageData of image bmw.bmp into iData set the imageData of image bmw.bmp to iData - became unnecessary. Consequently, the advice DON'T use VB for graphics became far less true, although of course it is a long way from being an instrument for constructing games. To achieve something similar in Transcript might also be an advantage in terms of speed leading to the statement You CAN use Transcript for graphics (but not for games?), but it would take someone who has a really deep knowledge of the internal workings of the system to come up with such an image bitmap pointer procedure (someone from the RunRev team or a geek working at the university?). Anyway, I am very happy for now. Many thanks to all who have contributed to the solution of setting pixels.

Ask dialog box

I ran a stack generated on the Mac (where it runs as expected) on the PC but ran into quirky behavior. The Ask dialog box didn't disappear entirely after clicking OK.

Some of the best ways for me to learn is to read the DOCS, read the groups, do tutorials and study the code of others. I personally don't have the time to experiment. I'm just not creative enough to do it efficiently! I would be willing to start one if the work won't be a duplication or help if there are already efforts afoot.

Let's hope RunRev 2.0 fies some of these problems. However, if you continue to have problems printing from the RunRev docs, you might consider using the tool by Geoff Canyon to export the docs in RTF format, which you can then print from Word or any of its sibblings. Link : http://www.runrev.com/revolution/downloads/developerdownloads/revrtfer.zip Also, if I remember correctly, someone printed all the docs to a PDF file ; but I can't find the link at the moment. If he or she doesn't speak up or someone else doesn't have it mirrored, I'll make it available somewhere if you like.

PDF is a file with objects in it (like pictures, text, etc.) One of this object is a reference object. Here are the offsets in BYTES to the other objects. So changing one object (changing text, exchanging graphics) will fail when the new object has not the same size (in bytes) as the the old one.

Use whatever tools you like. 3. Open the resulting PDF file and look for the placeholder text you included in the document. 4. Use the PDF file as a template, and when you want to print to PDF just replace the placeholder text with the text you want to print.

Re: Setting Pixels - More answers to suggestions
Hi Robert, Yes, an XCMD is like a DLL only for Macs. It means external command (there are also XFCNs - external functions). I have a script that converts RGB - HSV if you are interested. As Monte and others have shown, scripting in different ways can dramatically alter the speed of execution. Perhaps my script might be as fast as your DLL :-) If you would like me to send it, email me off-list.

I presume that an XCMD is the Mac version of a Windows DLL (?) I am sure that it would help, but I am not sure to what degree. I have only ever written one DLL in my life which is for the said eraser program in VB (due to be launched soon). It converts RGB to HSL and v.v. By doing the calculations in a DLL rather than in the program the saving was about 15%. Although this 15% was crucial in the eraser routine I wrote, it was generally a disappointment: I expected a much bigger saving. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: use-revolution digest, Vol 1 #1082 - 16 msgs
Hi Jeanne, Yes thanks good tip, I guess I should be clearer: I want to rotate the bitmap by 90 degrees, plus the containing rect of it too. Basically rotate an image by 90 degrees, keep same shape rotated by 90, same dimensions except Horizontal is now Vertical and vice versa. Portrait to Landscape or tall to wide, that sort of thing. The standard 'rotate this object by 90'. Currently the bitmap region expands. I've tried every combo: locked image; locked group; both locked etc. Thanks anyway, any other ideas I could try Jeanne? (It is driving me slightly batty, I'm thinking of getting the imageData and moving the pixels into a new region even though this will be slow in Transcript). Thanks again, I'm really appreciative of everyone's kind help. M@tt If I lock screen and set the loc of the various objects (some inside a group), the containing object ignores and/or expand their group! Have you tried setting the group's lockLocation to true? This stops the automatic resizing. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Color at a location on the screen
Hi Klaus Thanks for the tip, I thought of doing something like this but the ol' mouse would be jumping around all over the place. I worked out a compromise: because I knew the object I wanted to get the colors from, I grabbed the imageData and worked out the RGB value from the raw data: on setPixelColor pThisPixelH put (pThisPixelH - left of image Rainbow.png+1)*4 into tLeftOffset -- four bytes per pixel put charToNum(char tLeftOffset +2 of tColors) into tRed -- 2nd byte is the lovely red dot put charToNum(char tLeftOffset +3 of tColors) into tGreen -- 3rd byte is the happy green spot put charToNum(char tLeftOffset +4 of tColors) into tBlue -- 4th byte is the calm blue dot set the backColor of the target to tRed,tGreen,tBlue end setPixelColor I'm sure I could optimize this somehow (seems odd converting charToNum for data that is then converted back again) but it works. Anyway all the info is in the manual under imageData ;-) I just fiddled with it for a bit till it worked for me. Thanks again Klaus. I seem to recall an external or was I thinking of another script language? Cobol? ;-) hehe... not in a million years ;-0 I'm a Xtalk dummy (bit of assembly and even raw hex in machine code back in the dark ages...twas tedious but fun). Chow, M@ Matt check the screenmouseloc entry in the index. You could store the old mouseloc, set the screenmouseloc to the desired point inside your clear circle, get the mousecolor and set the mouseloc to its old loc again... Just a thougth, but should be doable... Hope that helps. Does anyone know how to find the color at a location on the screen? I've got a small clear circle that drags constrained horizontally over a color bar to select a color. The mouseColor works perfectly as long as the cursor is over the color, but as the clear circle is constrained to the color bar, the cursor can really be anywhere. So I need to find the color at a location, ie where the circle is on the color bar. I've searched under 'screen', 'loc', 'cursor', 'color' and every other combination I can think of. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

re: Line Tracing
Thanks to Gary Rathbone and Jim Hurley for their suggestions, but the Lockscreen property does not work, and although Jim's script is very clever, it results in a very choppy motion compared to repeatedly setting the loc of an object via an equation of motion (such as a projectile.) Any other ideas? Thanks, Roger I would like to trace a line by moving a small brightly colored graphic (say via an equation of motion). This would require that I prevent the screen from updating while the graphic is in motion. I've done this in other APDs but I can't seem to find the way to do it in RR. Any ideas?

Re: Line Tracing
Hi Roger, I'm not quite sure what it is you are trying to do. If you stop the screen from updating, you won't see your graphic move. It will appear to leap from the start position to the end. Do you want to see it follow a path, but not see anything else happen? If so, perhaps you should consider a sub-stack so there is nothing but your graphic in the window. If you want to end up with a line across the window, then I would recommend using a polygon graphic and setting it's points. This is quick to do in a script and the screen update only has to happen once, when you set the points of the graphic to the set of points that you have just calculated using your equation. If you want an example, let me know.

Grab, move, yet constrain.
Another penny has eventually dropped. The grab command is just what I wanted for moving a group of images around, as it is the only way I know where the cursor keeps to its place in the group. But now, can I constrain this movement? Top, bottom, left, right? Thanks for the help.
