Icons - making and moving them
Hi All, I'm stuck! I've made an icon in Iconographer but I don't know how to move it into the stack I'm working on or into an icon library in Revolution 1.1.1. The discussions I've read on the list so far do not seem to reveal the secret. The documentation says very little about icons. I've saved the icon from Iconographer to the stack. I've tried moving it to the resources in the stack and to a copy of Revolution with ResEdit with no success. I know I'm missing something simple.

help with XP printing user accounts
Ugh, my beautiful printing routine doesn't work on Win XP for my client. It works great if the app is run as an administrator user, but not if run by a limited account user. The app must run by a limited user environment because of their IT rules (big federal agency). The XP user creation task in XP says programs designed prior to Windows XP or Windows 2000 might not work properly with limited accounts. For best results, choose programs bearing the Designed for Windows XP logo, or, to run older programs choose the computer administrator account type. What a vague warning message!

Re: RR and FileMaker
The recent discussion on interfacing FileMaker and Rev has aroused my curiosity. I have occasion, especially at election time, to work with FileMaker. Since I have never been able to decipher the arcane scripting language in FileMaker, my alternative has been to export the FileMaker file as a text file, make my changes using Transcript in RR and then import the altered text file back into FileMaker.

Does your printing routine write out any files, and if so, does it write them to the Program files directory or some other out of bounds location. If so, that will be a problem. If you need to write files, they should be saved somewhere in the user's area of the Application and Settings folder (typically create a folder for your app in the user's Application Data folder).

Rev stand-alone hangs on Win 98/Me
Has anyone experienced this before? I'm running a small demo app from a CD-ROM. I'm using external graphics and sound files, but the app hangs even before trying to load any of those from the CD. It's very strange. Runs fine under Windows XP, but not on 98/Me. I don't think it's any code that's causing the problem. There's just not much code there to cause a problem. I'm using a blue backdrop, which displays almost immediately. Then the app hangs for about 15-20 seconds before finally displaying my first card. After that it runs just fine.

I'm debugging over the phone so I can't tell for sure.

That it hung on printing was kind of a surprise. But right now I'm assuming that the writing to Program Files\AppName as a limited user account was the cause of the problem.

Re: Button vs. Message box scripts AND things rotational
Jim Hurley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Button vs. Message box scripts Suppose I wanted to alter revRotatePoly (or use it as a base for a new routine) so that the center of rotation was a point of my choosing rather then the graphic's loc. -- Well, I don't think that'd be a native thing, but here is a couple alternatives I can think of: 1) Stretch the box that the graphic is in so that the image area is offset from the actual loc by some dimension that will work for you. 2) Use the Animation Manager. Select it and open the Animation Manager, click 'New', and set it to frame 1. Then rotate it manually (by message or whatever), and move it over so that it appears to have moved around a different axis, and apply that to whatever frame you like and test the animation to see if it's the effect you want. Adjust it until it's right, then put a [ revPlayAnimation MyCrank (or whatever) ] handler in your button. HTH, Ken N. Ken, Thanks for the suggestions. Actually it is possible, with minor variations to use a routine published in the digest a few issues ago to write a rotation routine that will rotate any polygon (or line) about any pivot point. This is a variation on a routine written by Derek Huby: On mouseUP --Rotate a polygon myPoly about a button Pivot by 45 degrees rotatePoly myPoly,the loc of button Pivot, 45 end mouseUP On rotatePoly theGraphic, thePivot, theAngle put the points of graphic theGraphic into tPoints put item 1 of thePivot into xPivot put item 2 of thePivot into yPivot put empty into newPointList repeat for each line tLine in tPoints --Set points relative to pivot put (item 1 of tLine)- xPivot , (item 2 of tLine)- yPivot return after tRelPoints end repeat put sin(theAngle* pi/180) into S put cos(theAngle * pi/180) into C put empty into rotptlist repeat for each line tLine in tRelPoints put round(C*(item 1 of tLine)+ S*(item 2 of tLine) + xPivot) after rotPtlist put , after rotptlist put round(-S*(item 1 of tLine) + C*(item 2 of tLine)+ yPivot)after rotPtlist put return after rotPtList end repeat set the points of graphic theGraphic to rotPtlist end rotatePoly And a good tip from [EMAIL PROTECTED] To avoid distortions through repeated rotations one might store the original points set in a custom property of the graphic. You would also store the net angle of rotation as a property. So you start from scratch with each new rotation and avoid any accumulated distortion through round off errors. Alejandro: I wasn't able to access the utilities you suggest form web site you mentioned. Problems with my version of Stuffit. I'll work on it. But thanks for the tip. BTY I have found a matrix inversion routine in the archives. Works well and fast. 60 milliseconds to invert a 4x4. Of course the speed decreases rapidly with size. Undocumented archania: Also, in examining the RR version of revRotatePoly I finally figured out what get revPoints (graphic) means. It takes a list of items and converts them to a single item, presumably for speed. That is a graphic pionts set obtained from get the points of graphic 1,2 3,4 5,6 Looks like this when derived from get revPoints(myGraphic) 1,2,3,4,5,6 And the points are subsequently summed over k where k takes on the values 2*k-1 and 2*k, that is the odd and even entries in the item set. The odd number are item 1's and the even are item 2's. This would be valuable for all the speed demons out there.

Re: Color My Word--Open Color Palette
sez [EMAIL PROTECTED] Let's say you have an unlocked text field that you want to allow a user to format. Place some buttons next to it labeled Bold, Italic Plain, etc. You can also provide popups for font and font size. Your users simply selects any text that they want to operate on and click the buttons or popups. The basic code to operate on the selected text looks like this: on mouseup -- italicize the selected text if the selection is not empty the put the selectedchunk into sc -- see if the text already has some style info put the textstyle of sc into currentStyle if currentStyle is empty then put plain into currentstyle -- add italics to any existing style put currentStylecommaitalic into newStyle set the textStyle of sc to newStyle end if end mouseup This will work fine, even if the text field is not locked. Some comments... One: If the selected text has no style assigned to it, the textstyle won't be empty -- it'll be plain. Two: If the selected text has a mixture of styles -- for instance, if three words are selected, and precisely one of the three words is boldfaced -- the results may not be what you wanted. Try this out: Put whatever you like in a standard text field; apply boldface to word 2 (and *only* word 2) of that text; try this code... put the textstyle of word 1 to 3 of field testbed into Fred put ,italic after Fred set the textstyle of word 1 to 3 of field testbed to Fred ...and watch as the boldfacing on word 2 evaporates. Note that the resulting behavior is exactly what you get when you apply a text style from the STYLE submenu of the TEXT menu. Perhaps it might be worth someone's while to write a style-applying handler that does not display this behavior? Three: If the selected text is all the same style, this will work just fine regardless of whether that style is plain or bold,underline or what: put italic into item (1 + the number of items in TheStyle) of TheStyle Fortunately, the MC engine is smart enough that if you set some text to the style plain,italic, it comes out as italic, so you don't need to worry about it. Four: In a word processor, if all of the selected text is italics, selecting italics should *remove* that style from the selected text. This code doesn't do that. Again -- perhaps someone might want to write a style-applying handler that does things differently? Fonts and font sizes are a little different but not very hard. Let me know if you want more details. The mixed styles thing applies here, too, but you probably *want* fonts and sizes to behave this way.

So, add a routine for mixed that parses the chunk to a lower level (perhaps down to character level) and saves the style info, applies the user's new style selection, then determines which, if any, of the saved style info should be reapplied.

If you need to antialias the image to the background (seamless blend between the image and your stack), you can use a PNG image with an 8 bit mask.

Re: Rev stand-alone hangs on Win 98/Me

Say I have a field which has something like the following: stuff, stuff, AP# 103-837-47, more stuff, more stuff Were AP# might be a county parcel number. The 837 might be a county tax zone. And I might want to extract that 837 and make it a separate field. In Transcript I just write: on CreateNewField put field 1 into tRecords repeat for each line tLine in tRecords set the itemdelimiter to comma put item 3 of tLine into temp Set itemdelimiter to - put comma item 2 of tLine after tLine put tLine return after results end repeat put results into field 1 end CreateNewField Now I'm sure this can be done as well within FileMaker, but I have a deep seated aversion to the scripting language in FileMaker.

Re: Icons - making and moving them
** Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2003 04:55:59 +1000 From: Neil Phillips [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Icons - making and moving them Hi All, I'm stuck! I've made an icon in Iconographer but I don't know how to move it into the stack I'm working on or into an icon library in Revolution 1.1.1. The discussions I've read on the list so far do not seem to reveal the secret. The documentation says very little about icons. I've saved the icon from Iconographer to the stack. I've tried moving it to the resources in the stack and to a copy of Revolution with ResEdit with no success. I know I'm missing something simple. -- Paste it into the Image Library (Development menu)?

Re: help with XP printing user accounts

If so, that will be a problem. If you need to write files, they should be saved somewhere in the user's area of the Application and Settings folder (typically create a folder for your app in the user's Application Data folder). Alternatively, have the users install the app inside their area of the Applications Settings folder. Dave, thanks yes my printing routing writes some temp files. I think this might be the problem. I'm debugging over the phone so I can't tell for sure. At first I didn't think this was the issue because the sysadmin said the permissions were such that the app could write files into Program Files folder, and the app was behaving as if it was writing temp files OK, for other functions. That it hung on printing was kind of a surprise. But right now I'm assuming that the writing to Program Files\AppName as a limited user account was the cause of the problem. Do you mean Documents and Settings, not Application and Settings? Sorry, my mistake. Does script this look sane to you? put specialFolderPath(kCSIDL_APPDATA) into tAppDataPath if tAppDataPath = empty then Err Unknown path to \Documents and Settings\user\Application Data end if Does it have to run on platforms other than XP? I forget offhand if all older Windows versions have an Application data folder. But what I've done if specialFolderPath returns empty is to just use the application folder. This assumes that the user can write to Program Files, but I think it's a fairly safe assumption in such cases. put format(%s/MyApp, tAppDataPath) into tPath if there is not a folder tPath then -- create it create folder tPath if the result empty then Err the result end if I think that specialFolderPath will return empty if the folder doesn't exist, so this part may be unnecessary. But don't take my word for it. Cheers Dave ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
