Re: Need your help! Plans on promotion Plug In
Is it hard to code sending emails from within Rev? Hi Malte, No, it isn't hard to send emails using Rev. You need to open a socket to the POP server, send receive the various commands, then send your email, before logging off closing the socket. I have been working (on off) on a POP library which is not yet ready for public consumption, but if you want me to send you a POP example stack, just contact me off-list.

Re: Finding the disk name
In the newer version of Revolution, running under OS X, when I get a file name (say from answer file), I get something like this: /Users/sarah/Documents/FolderName/Filename.txt This is fine and Rev reads such a file perfectly. The problem arises when I want to pass a filename to an AppleScript, which requires a full path including the disk name, in this form: Sarah HD:Users:sarah:Documents:FolderName:Filename.txt Perhaps using POSIX file in your AppleScript what you need. An example: set myPath to /Users/trevordevore/desktop/ set myPath to POSIX file myPath display dialog newPath This would display Macintosh HD:Users:trevordevore:Desktop: Would this solve your problem? Thanks Trevor, That nearly worked :-) Here is the function I came up with to translate a Rev file path to an AppleScript path: function filePathToAppleScript pFile put set tFilePath to *file* cr set tAS to POSIX file tFilePath \ cr return tAS cr into tScript replace *file* with quote pFile quote in tScript do tScript as Applescript put the result into tASfile delete word 1 of tASfile -- file delete char 1 of tASfile -- quote delete char -1 of tASfile -- quote return tASfile end filePathToAppleScript Cheers, Sarah [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.troz.net/Rev/ ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Formatted printing
I am trying to do something seemingly very simple and I would have thought quite generic ... can I ask if I really am coming up against what seem to me to be pretty obvious shortcomings in the present implementations of table fields and the printing library? (as a new user, I've had a bit of a look on the archives, and the thread on revPrintText is so long there clearly are many requests for extension of its feature set, no doubt including the following...) I want to be able to print the contents of a formatted field, with column data, above which is a header which is longer than one cell of the column data. The header itself uses styled text and I'd like it to have columns too, tho' I can probably simulate that since its text won't vary much. The data is constructed dynamically from other information in the stack. The printout fills out a whole page, larger than a card size, so print card won't suffice. I'd prefer not to have vertical lines separating the columns of data, but I can live with that. I could do this if any of the following things worked, each of which should IMO be possible 1. I could do it all with revPrintField using a Table field, putting the header stuff into the first few lines, IF I could suppress printing of the vGrid lines, which overprint the header. Because vGrid is overloaded (it flags that the field is a table AND draws the grid lines), and borderFill is also overloaded (controls the field border AND the grid lines BUT does not respond to width 0 for the grid lines!) this won't work. Ideally of course the display style of each cell ought to controllable as in a real spreadsheet, but I can wait for that (Rev version 3?). 2. I could do it with revPrintField if only it supported a header parameter a la revPrintText (why doesn't it?) 3. I could do it with revPrintText using html styling if only more mark-up tags were supported (tabs) 4. I could do it if multiple revPrintField and revPrintText could be used on a single page, ie they conformed to to an open printing/close printing protocol. Am I missing something? The only work-around I can think of is to use monospaced type for the column data. This is really ugly.

Fast method of setting textStyle
I have a field on every card of a stack. The text in that field is different on each card. Some words I want to have a textStyle of link. There is no programmatic method of doing this as the text in each card's field is so different. However, I found a method of doing this quickly (more quickly than using the menus). I know I can't be the first to discover this but it's so easy that I felt I should post it for others. Type the following into the message box: set the textStyle of the mouseChunk to link Don't press Enter or Return yet. With the cursor active in the msg box, move your mouse over the word (in the field) that needs to be a link, then press the Enter key. Keep clicking your mouse in the msg box, moving your mouse over the next word, and pressing Enter. Each time the word under the pointer will be transformed to a link The mouseChunk returns the char or chars that make up the word sitting under the mouse pointer and leaves off the spaces or punctuation surrounding the word. BTW - You can combine the textStyle params. In my case, I used: set the textStyle of the mouseChunk to link, bold Every day I am more impressed with how cool Rev is and how much power it gives me.

Encryption problem?
I have a stack with a handler in a field's script as follows: on mouseDown put the clickChunk into whatWasClicked put the value of whatWasClicked into theWord if there is an image theWord then set the lockScreen to true put the loc of image theWord into myLoc -- for brevity later in this script copy image theWord to this stack put word 3 of it into myNewImageID -- that should be the ID# of the newly created image set the loc of image ID myNewImageID to myLoc show image ID myNewImageID set the lockScreen to false wait 1.25 seconds -- or do whatever delete image ID myNewImageID select empty end if end mouseDown It all works just fine until I encrypt it with a password at Distribution. I suspect that the name of the image is scrambled somehow as the image I'm copying never appears and the wait 1.25 seconds is not occurring. If I open that stack with the IDE, the problem persists. However, if I provide the password when I open a script in that stack, everything begins working until I close ( remove from memory) the stack. I do not have to change anything in the stack for it to begin working; just providing the password makes it work fine. My images are named mail or letter or post office, etc.. All paths to the jpegs are properly referenced (myresources/mail.jpeg). I've used this technique (referring to a referenced image by its object name) before and within encrypted stacks. I don't understand what I may have changed to bring on this behavior. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

So I had to find another work around in the past. As I said the bug is very old and I have reportet it before bugzilla about 5 or 6 times. And I remmber others, which have reported it too... Why it is not in bugzilla...? I would be really interested why this was not fixed in the last 1,5 years..? My workaround was: change all (bigger) text-controls to the size that you dont need scrolling... (for some of them it was not possible, because the text content are to big, so the ugly lines are still there...) Not an elegant english style,:) A similar problem was that with the double-arrow buttons. I could not move/change any controls with the nudge buttons. Pls RR team imagine that once.!? Not moving a single control, a group of controls, no change in size of a single control, etc... Now I know, thanks to Barry, that the reason is Cocktails double-arrow buttons. But I had this Cocktail Effekt *only* in rev. So I thought thats a rev problem... Therefore finally I think: 1) anybody from RR should still read the list to see what problems are discussed here and actualize/check the db. RR should also listen a bit more to these non scripters (like me). Not all of them are idiots, and they have to pay the same money like the others... regards Wolfgang M.

Re: Are there no help sites?
Martin -- We're just getting started, but the revSchool tutorials at www.revjournal.com are designed to teach programming from the ground up using Revolution. The site also includes articles about, and links to, items of interest to Revolution users of all levels. You might explore some of the links on the revJournal home page to find example stacks, tips, and tricks. I also recommend that you work through the six tutorials that come with Revolution -- they provide an excellent overview. To get them, open the documentation window (Help-Documentation, or click the Documentation icon on the main toolbar), and click Tutorials under the Learning Revolution heading. Dan Shafer is also working on a 3-volume e-book about Revolution, the first volume of which is scheduled to launch within the next few weeks. You can read excerpts that have been posted at the revJournal site. Perhaps the best advice I can give is to think of an app you want to build, then go to it. When you get stuck, ask for help on the user list. The folks here are a friendly bunch, willing and able to provide helpful responses to just about any question you have. Best of luck! Alan S.

Re: Encrypted stack doesn't behave properly - oops; yes it does.
Turns out my problem is the encryption of the stack. I was referring to the names of image objects which, of course, are encrypted with you set the password property to anything other than empty. The encryption yields a host of problems. I was copying an image (already in the stack) to the stack. Nope; can't do this as the stack has become non-modifiable. All of my code works fine as long as I don't have a password set -or- set the passkey when I open the stack. All I want to do is protect my code from view if someone tries to examine my stacks with Rev or with TextEdit. How can I do this? Obviously, this is not the application but a secondary stack (not sub-) whose data gets altered and saved during runtime. I can't ask the user to provide the password as I want to keep it a secret.
