It's a feature. It puts the text (the long id of field "Test Field")

Try: put "This is a test" after field gField

bug or feature

2003-08-30 Thread Steve Gehlbach
Maybe someone can help me with this simple question:

put the long id of field "Test Field" into gField
set the foregroundColor of the last line of gField to "red"  -- works
put "This is a test" after gField -- fails, puts the text into the var
It seems as if RR cannot tell from context whether it is a variable or a 
reference on the last one.

Is there a way to do what I am trying to do?

Thanks,

Steve

Showing one image in a hidden group of images

2003-08-30 Thread Barry Levine
I have a group of four images that is invisible until needed. I'd now 
like to show only one of those images when a user clicks at a certain 
location. I have no trouble determining when the user has clicked the 
appropriate spot.

I've tried showing and hiding the image alone but, as the group is 
invisible, the "showing/hiding" is taking place in an invisible object 
so, of course, you don't see it.

I'm wondering if something like the following is the most efficient way 
of handling this:

on mouseUp
  set the lockScreen to true
  put the loc of image myImage into myLoc -- for brevity later on
  copy image myImage to this stack
  put word 3 of it into myNewID -- tha's the ID# of the newly created 
image
  set the loc of image ID myNewID to myLoc -- same loc as the original 
image
  show image ID myNewID
  set the lockScreen to false
  wait 2 seconds -- or do whatever
  delete image ID myNewID
end mouseUp

This seems to work nicely but I'm wondering if I'm heading down a path 
whereby I'll screw up the carefully placed groups of images.

Thanks in advance,
Barry

Re: Background Color BleedThrough -- Fairly Easy Fix

Now I see it. It does seem to be the same one I saw back when I was 
starting with Navigator. Oddly, I couldn't replicate in 2.0.1, but I 
can in 2.1rc1

Setting the borderWidth to 0 fixes the problem.

I suspect this does not show up on RunRev's OS X systems so they are 
having trouble responding.

I agree that this is important.  There is a workaround but it means 
reworking stacks that are upgraded to 2.1, sometimes adding graphics.  
I confess, I didn't do the stack upgrades with the betas because I was 
sure 2.1 would not be released without this.

The opaque property of the field must be true. Make a scrolling field, 
make sure it is opaque, and fill it with text. Scroll to the bottom. 
Then drag the thumb back up toward the top. The text at the top becomes 
distorted. This is in version 2.1; I didn't try it in other versions but 
others have said it exists prior to 2.1.

I marked the bug in Bugzilla as "minor" following the critera the team 
specifies for bug reports. However, given the number of people who are 
upset about this, hopefully the team will address it as soon as possible.

Maybe the target field could do double-duty as this.

The reviewer setting worksforme could set that version.

The fixer could set the targeted version.  At version release all fixes 
with the same target as the release are reviewed and the target changed 
if the fix did not make it.

Any holes?

Maybe this is already done.

If so, maybe it can be doc'd in the target milestones description.

Bugzilla Requesst

2003-08-30 Thread Howard Bornstein
To the Rev team:

It would be very helpful when changing a bugzilla disposition (i.e. 
fixed, problem not found, etc.) if you would indicate the version of Rev 
you were using when making your determination. So if a bug was reported 
under V2.01, it would be helpful to know that it was fixed in V2.03 
versus V2.1. That way, we don't have to test it in all the various 
versions to know where it finally works.

Thanks a lot.

Multiple externals are now supported on Win32 and MacOS systems.  On

Little questions on Rev as a game plataform (related to: myst)

2003-08-30 Thread Andre Garzia
Hi all,

well my cloning of myst like engine is almost over and I decided to 
check up with the revGurus on the list if I am on the right track. I 
cannot present a demo stack now, wait a couple days for my scenery is 
ugly, I am now generating custom ones with terragen (a nice terrain 
generator, free for non comercial use).

There's the main stack and it does nothing, it just show some nice 
splash logo and prepare MLE (Myst Like Experience) stack to launch. 
This MLE substack is the current interpreter. The main stack does have 
two substacks RESOURCES and MLE, the resources substack is just a 
collection of often used graphics and sound. The later is structured 
like this:

In the stack's script there are implementations for default responses 
to game actions. Like if a mouseUp climbs up the food chain, err, 
message path, then it will be handled by this handle and return to 
game, also on the stack script are some utility functions to handle 
game behaviour. It's all done with custom properties. when mouseOver is 
triggered it looks in it targets for a set of custom properties, for 
example if there's a music property the interpreter will change the 
music when mouseover is called, if there's a "lookat" property game 
will execute script inside it when "look at" game tool is clicked on 
that target. Game interaction is provided by clicking on the screen, 
possible actions are: look, walk, take, use, talk. For each action 
there's a related custom property on the targets. Theres a background 
picture of the scene and "hotspots" are defined by shapes that cannot 
be seen by user. Each scene is a card, when card loads (preOpenCard and 
OpenCard) it setups music and other game low level stuff, after one 
second after the card is loaded (so that user atention is now focused) 
a message is sent (Thank You Mr Dar Scott for Message Primer) which 
trigger animation builded with Animation Builder tool.

All game engine functions are inside substack's script, so the only 
scripts inside a card are related to that card/scene in particular, 
this proved to be very readable and easy to manage. Utility functions 
are about music and movie playing. I plan to release this as a 
contribution for others to improve upon. It's easy to create your own 
game, just create a substack of MLE and go creating your cards. 
Documentation will be written and a web page will be set as soon as I 
am proud enought to allow my figment to roam free on the net.

I think it's all explained now, so I as the revGurus out there if they 
have any advise or best practice to tell me. I am too newbie to rev, my 
code is probably bad but I will allow everyone to shout at it later, I 
am trying to get design and implementation advises by now ;-)

Cool.  Will this be both client and server?  That is, will this 
emulate a simple HTTP server?

Dar Scott

I just bought it. I can only implement client side... I did it twice 
(for REALBasic 3x and 5x), never fiddled with server side.. but it 
might be easy, can someone provide a sample stack for a web server 
(something that listen to http request and answers it), then i could 
try to change it to a xml-rpc server. Also some XML Parsing/Generating 
sample stacks would be usefull sometimes I get lost with Rev Builtin 
documentation (but i like it, i am just not used to it)

Re: CODE and XFCN resources

2003-08-30 Thread Brian Yennie
Ron,

Two possibilities:

1) See what you renumbered the resource to: MetaCard loads certain 
resource IDs depending on the platform- this is documented in the 
README around version 2.4. I would try 1200 and 1300 - two numbers that 
"mod" to the same thing.

2) If that doesn't help, you could store them in separate stacks and 
load with "start using"

Hi

I've had a friend compile some code for me that works fine as an 
external.
He made it a CODE resource with id 1200. That resource runs in both OS 
9 and
X. However, in OS 9 I added the Valentina vxcmd, also with CODE res id 
1200.
To accomodate this I renumbered the other CODE and it now refuses to 
run.

In the xfcn/cmd world, renumbering res id did not usually result in
problems. Is it different for CODE res? How does one add more than one 
CODE
res on OS 9? Should I have it recompiled as an xfcn or as a CODE res 
with a
different id?

Obviously, I'm ignorant in this area and would appreciate some
enlightenment.
Thanks
Ron

Re: revNumberOfRecords ruturns -1 in ODBC

2003-08-30 Thread Andre Rombauts
I had the same problem. I guess this means that function is not supported.
The doc states that all SQL functions are not available on all platform/db
environment.

It's ok with
