Re: Some doubts 'bout Revolution
I believe for the manifest to work the executable needs to link to and initialize ComCtl32.dll. I tried using Resource Tuner (great program by the way -restuner.com) to add the manifest to an executable I built with Distribution Builder but apparently the Rev executables are not linked to this file so it won't work. At least that is what Resource Tuner says. I don't have XP handy so I couldn't test it but I could send someone a test executable if they wanted to see if it did. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Multimedia [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Monday, October 6, 2003, at 05:19 AM, Júlio César Ködel wrote: Did you tried to create a manifest for Revolution?

problem with callbacks

The problem is that when the player is stopped and restarted or moved to another point -- all the previous callbacks are sent again and the engine quickly goes through all the highlights before continuing with the sentence at which it left off. How can this be avoided? Callbacks are messages sent by the player at certain points in the timeline -- why should restarting a player in the middle of the movie trigger the callbacks which come before that point?

Do I just redownload (on the basis that fixes to date are automatically included), or do I wait for a new (bug fix) release? Bug fix releases will come. This weekend I downloaded 2.1 for OS X and got 2.1.1. (This might be available for other OS's, but at least three of the bugs fixed were OS X specific.) I then noticed it is listed in bugzilla for bug reporting. The readme stated that one could find exactly which bugs were fixed from bugzilla. That is not clear to me. Some fixed bugs have 2.1 as the target, but I see no way to differentiate that from ones fixed by 2.1.0 or fixed in 2.1.1 or will be fixed in 2.1.2. As for 450, bugzilla is down at the moment, so I can't comment. However, there is a chance it is fixed in 2.1.1. I have seen no announcement for 2.1.1.

If the image is a solid color, then you can compute the four-byte pixel once and then replicate it for the number of pixels in the image. Maybe it is possible to have a 1X1 pixel image (or some other small image) and have it resized to the size you want. That reduces your problem to a single color calculation per frame.

Remember that even the last (and then only) card can be deleted, which means that all controls are GONE... So be careful not to have a group and that last cd or its history... I always check for the num of cds and ask the user to empty all fields etc... (in my app) in that case...

RE: delete card, again...
The problem is probably the ask/answer dialogs. These are scripted stacks that interpose themselves modally while your script is running, and if the defaultStack is changed as a result of their intervention, the this card will point somewhere else. This may also be the reason why it works in MetaCArd but not in Revolution (similar but different code in each ask/answer dialog). Try calling the card specifically, as in: on deleteKey put the long id of this card into tCardID answer Suppress this card? with Cancel or Suppress if it is suppress then send delete this card to tCardID in 10 milliseconds end if end deletekey (You may need to do the send statement if it can't resolve tCardID properly.)
