Absolutely wonderful looking program! However, I could not get out because

Free PCPLUS edition

[Hans Ydelm]

Hi all,

I have been trying to get hold of the free 1.1 version that came with
the PCPLUS magazine a few month ago. Unfortunately PCPLUS doesn't seem
to respond to my request to buy that particular edition, so is anybody
kind enough to ftp it to me? (or email if <10MByte) please email me and
I will send you my ftp details.

I have the free edition which came with my Linux Format magazine but it
seems rather unstable on my RH9 machine so I am hoping the windows
version is a bit better. I only use it for some hobby project (see
http://www.ht-lab.com/vhdlsort/vhdlsort.html) so the 1.1 version is more
than enough.

Thanks,
Hans.

UI Question / Browse Type Object

[Brian Maher]

Hi Folks,

I am new to Revolution and have an application design question.

I am developing database apps on OS X and was wondering what people do for the typical 
database scenario where the user needs the ability to scroll thru a list of records (I 
call it a "browse") to select a record to view/edit/delete?  What about filtering the 
list?  How do you go about creating something that (as close as possible) conforms to 
the OS X UI guidelines?  Can anyone provide me (offline) some screen shots on what you 
have done (i.e. I am looking for ideas).

Many Thanks, Brian Maher

I am developing database apps on OS X and was wondering what people 
do for the typical database scenario where the user needs the 
ability to scroll thru a list of records (I call it a "browse") to 
select a record to view/edit/delete?
Hi Brian,

Here are some approaches I use:

1.  Maintain a scroll field in the stack on-the-fly by updating the 
field with each addition, deletion, or change to displayed 
information.  Limitation: not suitable for active multi-user dbs.

2.  Ask the db to return paired lists of specified record content and 
the corresponding record ids.  Display the first list in a field with 
a mouseUp handler along the lines of

	loadARecord line (word 2 of the clickLine) of field "Record Ids".

Limitation: server O/H accessing all records.

3.  Display a search dialog that fetches & displays 
all/next/someQuantity of matching records for the user to select 
from.  This uses Transcript's Find command, and is reasonable fast--I 
have test dbs up to 20K+ records & 20+MB.  In addition, in 
Client/Server mode each hit is returned to the client, which in turn 
issues another Find starting at the new location.  This reduces the 
potential for searching a large range of records from locking out 
other clients...however this is still a potential problem as the 
entire range will be searched in one operation if the target text is 
not found.

The search dialog will be included in the next release of Serendipity 
Library.  If you'd like a copy or a screen shot of the search 
subStack, let me know privately.

mp3/Player problems

[Ken Norris]

Howdy,

1) Scenario:

mp3 file is in the same folder as the stack
   the name of the file is "september.mp3 copy"

In the Inspector I type "september.mp3 copy" into the source box.

It will not play. Why?

I see if I put the whole filepath into it it will play. But the default
folder is the same, and the docs say that if the file is in the default
folder, you need not spec the filepath. What's wrong?

2) Scenario:

Same player as above. Player is offscreen, using my own buttons.

"PLAY" button:

on mouseUp
  play player 1
end mouseUp

"STOP" button:

on mouseUp
  stop player 1
end mouseUp

When I click the STOP button it stops fine. When I click the PLAY button it
always resumes. I want it to restart at the beginning. How do I do that?

Mucho TIA,
Ken N.

Re: mp3/Player problems

Hi Ken,

Howdy,

1) Scenario:

mp3 file is in the same folder as the stack
That does not mean necessarily that "the directory" is also set to that 
folder!

Check it in the messages box:

put the directory

That will be the problem...

   the name of the file is "september.mp3 copy"

In the Inspector I type "september.mp3 copy" into the source box.

It will not play. Why?
See above...

I see if I put the whole filepath into it it will play. But the default
folder is the same, and the docs say that if the file is in the default
folder, you need not spec the filepath. What's wrong?
2) Scenario:
Same player as above. Player is offscreen, using my own buttons.
"PLAY" button:

on mouseUp
  play player 1
end mouseUp
"STOP" button:

on mouseUp
  stop player 1
end mouseUp
When I click the STOP button it stops fine. When I click the PLAY 
button it
always resumes.
That's the way its upposed to work :-)

I want it to restart at the beginning. How do I do that?
Rewind that thing ;-)

on mouseUp
  set the currenttime of player 1 to 0 ## rewind :-)
  play player 1
end mouseUp
Et voila, c'est ca...

Re: Non-English dates

[FlexibleLearning]

English-speaking, but using Australian formats:
[1] - yes, I get a valid date: 2004,6,1,2,0,0,3
[2] - Saturday is the last line of system weekDayNames although I have 
heard that this is not always the case in Australian systems.

But, you can always identify weekends using the last item of the 
dateItems structure. In the example above, the last item is 3, which 
means Tuesday. (Sunday = 1, Monday = 2 etc.)

Cheers,
Sarah

If you have iTunes, it will convert to MP3 and several other audio formats.

Re: check box and closefield

[Sarah]

Group your check boxes and put a script like this in the group:

on mouseUp
  put empty into field "Field 1"
  repeat with x = 1 to 6
if the hilite of button ("Button " & x) then put field ("Field " & 
x) after field "Output"
  end repeat
end mouseUp

Make sure that if you don't have any mouseUp handlers in the individual 
buttons, or the message won't get through to the group.

In your closeField handlers, you could set the hilite of the relevant 
checkbox, then send mouseUp to group "Buttons Group"

Cheers,
Sarah

Ken,
If I start up Revolution (v1.1.1, but I don't suppose it matters here), 
create a new stack with 2 buttons and scripts as you outlined above, 
when clicking the buttons a sound file is saved to the folder that 
contains the Revolution application.
As was mentioned in a previous message, make sure you have set the 
defaultFolder (or the directory) to wherever you wish to save the sound 
file.

How to save a QT movie?

[Barry Levine]

I have a stack with a QT Player object. The object references an 
on-disk movie of the user's choosing. The user can move the controller 
to shift back and forth through the movie. There are buttons to set 
"in" and "out" points. Once I have this data, can I save a copy of the 
movie from the "in" point to the "out" point?

I can import the movie as a videoclip if necessary.

Thanks,
Barry

Thank you for your input. I cut and pasted it but it did not work. I do 
not understand why your suggestion does not work. Is there some trick 
to get this suggestion to work, then I could write the two scripts once 
and put them at the card level rather than write them many times at the 
individual object level?

But I guess I was also clear in what I am trying to do.

What I need is the following:
button 1 true with field 1 information: foo
button 2 true with field 2 information: bar
button 3 false with field 3 information: soft
button 4 true with field 4 information: taco
button 5 false with field 5 information: ham
button 6 false with field 6 information: burger
output field information:
foo
bar
taco
burger
I have done more looking into RR (since I am still very new to it). 
Should I be using a Switch control structure with the mouseup and 
closefield commands handled there?

[OT] Broadband in the UK

For those of you developing 'Net apps with Rev, this story from The

broadband available to 80% of UK homes:



>From the article:

  In February last year, when the targets were set, BT had
  just 145,000 subscribers. Mr Verwaayen says the company
  remains on course to get 5 million users by 2006.

What are the chances of similarly-scaled broadband expansions across

RE: Non-English dates

[Monte Goulding]

Actually the history of the english date goes right back to HyperCard. In
most cases your best bet is to use the system modifier. The english modifier
actually does nothing unless you have useSystemDate set to true and I assume
is only there for HC compatibility.
