Re: URGENT MAC OS X Problems
the command : "create folder" 1) works fine when I create a folder BUT 2) doesn't work if the new created folder has a diacritical char for example : create folder "../test" works fine create folder "../répétition" doesn't work (if I write "repetition" (without the "é") it's good) Yves, I know that you are on a Mac OSX but perhaps this may give you some clue: On Mac OS 9.2.2 using MetaCard 2.5 the first time you use create 'folder "../répétition" ' the folder is actually created (at the same level as your engine). On Mac OS 9.2.2 using Revolution 2.0r2 the first time you use create 'folder "../répétition" ' the folder is created (at the same level as your engine). If you then try to send the same script again you get an error: can't create that directory. -- 1. amanuensis Signe Marie Sanne e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Romansk Institutttel: +47 55 58 21 27 Oysteins gt. 1 5007 Bergen http://www.hf.uib.no/hfolk/mlab/hjem/default.html Norway ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

It might be your internal modem works just fine. If so, or when this is resolved, you should be able to do some simple dialing and touch-tone tasks from within your handlers.

RE: Equivalence to the SuperCard function call "via" object
Joel,
The value() function is what you need, but to include parameters, you
need to include them like a "do". That is, if the parameter is a
variable you need to "&" it. I ran your test like this:
Script of button 1:
---
on mouseUp
put "Hello" into tMyVar
put "Goodbye" into tAnotherVar
answer value("getSomeData(1,the date," & tMyVar & "," & tAnotherVar &
")",btn 2)
end mouseUp
Script of button 2:
---
function getSomeData p1,p2,p3,p4
-- p1 is a number, p2 is a date, p3 is a string, p4 is a string
return p1&&p2&&p3&&p4
end getSomeData
When I clicked button 1, I got:
1 7/7/03 Hello Goodbye
(which is what I expected). So variables are not evaluted before they
are sent to the object - you need to force them to evaluate by "&"-ing
them as in my example above.
Does this help?

selectionChanged for empty selection?
Why isn't a selectionChanged message sent by a list field when the selection goes from one or more lines to empty lines? For example Option-clicking on a Mac to deselect a line in a list field. I can work around it by handling mouseUp, but this seems to reduce the utility of the selectionChanged message.

You have plenty of RAM. Unless you are editing some DVDs in the background or something :-) Mac OS X uses it's "virtual memory" all the time. Virtual memory includes physical RAM + disk space as overflow RAM. The effect is that Mac OS X will never run out of memory, instead it will start paging memory to disk and slowly churn churn churn until it's dead in the water. Use Utilities/Process Viewer.app to see how much memory an app is using. ** Use the terminal command vm_stat for arcane information about the virtual memory system. ** It might be hard to separate your stack's memory usage from Revolution unless you build a standalone and run it.

How can I make a full pathname

Just like any other path in RR...
There are some Unix related goodies that you can use.
Like $HOME or $USER
Try this in the msg:
put $HOME
will give the path to your home directory
and
put $USER
will give the username of the currently logged-in user
So you can create a path like in your example:
...
get shell("mkdir" && $HOME & "/Documents/" & "répétition")
...
See also the info about "specialfoldernames" on Ken Rays website!
How can you explain that create folder doesn't work but rename folder
without diacritical chars to a folder with diacritical chars do work ?
Not at all ;-)

Debugger Testing
Okay... I'm beginning to feel like maybe I'm going crazy, since I can't believe other people would not be inconvenienced by step-over in the 2.01 debugger not working. Therefore, I have devised a test - if you download http://www.shinra.com/debugtest.rev and run it you will see a stack with a single button on it. Turn on the debugger, and click the button. The debugger will open, and if you click on on the Step Over button in the debugger, you should remain in the script for the button, click "step Over" a few times, and then the name of the button should change. What I am getting instead, on all of my machines, even after uninstalling and reinstalling, is that I click step over, and when it gets to the function, it steps into it. I KNOW that step over was working before - I just don't know if it was in the beta, or in 2.0. If a couple of people could try this stack to verify that it's a problem for them, I would really appreciate it. Also, if anyone still has a copy of the installer for the pre-release 2.0, I would appreciate the opportunity to experiment with it as well... I NEED to be able to debug...

Re: use-revolution digest, Vol 1 #1569 - 14 msgs
Hi Damon, It's a little weird when you get into this area. One of the best ways to make Chapter Tracks in a Quicktime movie is to set cuePoints in an audio or video editor then save the file. This puts a text track into the movie with all the start times for each chapter, but does not set them as chapter tracks. Then you can open the movie in Quicktime Pro and get movie properties and select the text track in the pulldown menu then select make Chapter tracks from the properties pulldown. It will want you do associate the new chapter tracks with either the video or audio tracks... choose either one and then save... BAM now the movie has chapter tracks. I've tried some of the Chapter Track editors out there, but they don't seem to create the desired results like the above method does. Director works with chapter tracks using cuePoint statements. Director automatically reads the text track of the movie whether it's set to be chapters or not, and then allows you to navigate the chapters based on the cuePoints. iShell automatically shows chapter tracks as parameters in it's UI. The cool thing about Chapter Tracks and cuePoints is that you can write scripts that are universal to any movie, allowing you to navigate forward and backwards and even stop without knowing exact times. Very handy and reusable. And way better than trying to read the text file into an array and then use them. I'm new to Rev so i don't know much about callBacks... is there a good resource for this? do you think callbacks can be used in a similar manner any help would be great take a look at this little stack: The Mistery of the callbacks v1.0 You can download it at: http://www.runrev.com/Revolution1/developercentral/ usercontributions.html waaay doown the page :-) That should get you started with "callbacks" Drop a line if you need more info/assistance... -d Regards Klaus Major [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.major-k.de ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: use-revolution digest, Vol 1 #1569 - 14 msgs
It's a little weird when you get into this area. One of the best ways to make Chapter Tracks in a Quicktime movie is to set cuePoints in an audio or video editor then save the file. This puts a text track into the movie with all the start times for each chapter, but does not set them as chapter tracks. Then you can open the movie in Quicktime Pro and get movie properties and select the text track in the pulldown menu then select make Chapter tracks from the properties pulldown. It will want you do associate the new chapter tracks with either the video or audio tracks... choose either one and then save... BAM now the movie has chapter tracks. I've tried some of the Chapter Track editors out there, but they don't seem to create the desired results like the above method does. Director works with chapter tracks using cuePoint statements. Director automatically reads the text track of the movie whether it's set to be chapters or not, and then allows you to navigate the chapters based on the cuePoints. iShell automatically shows chapter tracks as parameters in it's UI. The cool thing about Chapter Tracks and cuePoints is that you can write scripts that are universal to any movie, allowing you to navigate forward and backwards and even stop without knowing exact times. Very handy and reusable. And way better than trying to read the text file into an array and then use them. I'm new to Rev so i don't know much about callBacks... is there a good resource for this? do you think callbacks can be used in a similar manner any help would be great -d On Saturday, July 5, 2003, at 09:01 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How do I navigate Quicktime Chapter tracks with Revolution. Is there a native way of navigating Quicktime Chapter Tracks with revolution? or cuePoints? AppleScript, QTscript, Director, iShell, and others all have way to navigate Chapter Tracks. I'm looking at Revolution as a cross-platform solution for current and future projects that relies on the ability to navigate Chapter Tracks. Chapter tracks and cuePoits are very different things. Revolution supports a wide variety of QT notifications, messages, and structures, so while it doesn't currently support chapter tracks if going as far away from that as cuePoints would work for you then maybe going just a little farther to Rev's support for callbacks will provide what you need. Thinking this might make a good feature suggestion to submit, I was hoping to find the documentation for Director and iShell with regard to chapter track support to serve as a guide, but alas came up empty. Where should I look for that in those products? ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

re Dial via built in modem
Dear Bill, I found your posting of Oct 19 last year when trying to solve the problem of dialing the internal modem via applescript (OS X). Have you found a solution? I haven't been able to find anything. I want to be able to dial via the modem so that I can control telephone company network features which are activated by long strings of codes.

Re: Equivalence to the SuperCard function call "via" object
I am trying to do what Supercard do with the function...via. That is I want
that the function is evaluated by the script of the specified object.
E.g.:
In Supercard you can write :
put getSomeData(1,the date,tMyVar,tAnOtherVar) via btn "MyButton" of \
cd 10 of stack "someStack" into tMyResult
How to translate that into rev?
-- does not work:
send "get getSomeData(1,the date,tMyVar,tAnOtherVar)" to \
btn "MyButton" of cd 10 of stack "someStack" into tMyResult
put it into tMyResult
-- does not work or dont give the expected result:
get value("getSomeData(1,the date,tMyVar,tAnOtherVar)", \
btn "MyButton" of cd 10 of stack "someStack")
put it into tMyResult
-- work around but not elegant:
-- getSomeData is no more a function but a handler...
call "getSomeData "1,the date,tMyVar,tAnOtherVar" of \
btn "MyButton" of cd 10 of stack "someStack"
put the result into tMyResult
Of course, putting the script of the target object in the message path is
some other possibility but I would exclude this for implementation reason.
Maybe the "function via object" a feature for the wish list?
Or did I miss something?

How can I create a folder with french chars ??? 2° Is it normal that when I ask the "script edit mode" item in the develpment menu, it takes about 1/2 hour to toggle ? I have this problem with a big stack (a main stack with many substacks), no problems with smaller stacks Now it's so serious I cannot toggle anymore When I ask "script edit mode", the rev appl "quit" and return to finder But I can further use the stacks when I restart Rev and further write scripts but I cannot debug...
