Re: stack handler unavailable from cd script?!
I want to thank Rob for his tips; basically this appears to have been due to a system error or a syntax error in the parent scripts (i.e. at the stack or more likely card script). Some lines parsed properly in hypercard, not in revolution. I thought it might have been memory leakage or some other arcane os problem. However I had already cold booted to test for this before writing the list. I'm fairly sure it must have been a syntax error due to an ommitted quotation mark in a string - the card script had lots of string variables. Anyway, the problem is solved: I would have written quicker to say don't bother answering but figured it was too late. Anyway I needed a nights rest to re-read the card script to check for any syntax errors. The only other possibility would have been orphan code. when I have an old handler I've modified I sometimes keep the old code so: on mouseup newCode end mouseup oldcode moreoldcode the old code not being in a handler doesn't bother hypercard - though in metacard it sometimes generates error messages. I presume it does not execute at runtime since the oldcode is no longer in a handler. Anyway - thanks! = What I love about spam is realizing how profitable emotional insecurity can be for those who think they're somehow sexually inadequate.

It is possible to log the mouse actions in the paint area.

Re: XP GIF display oddities
Hello folks, OK, I am unsure whether it is only me with any interest in this thread, but it may be that what I have established helps others, and someone who knows XP might help me to take the next step. The story so far is that a customer with XP complained that a list of authorised users did not appear in his copy. (which disabled the buttons navigating to screens) It seems that unlike all other versions of Windows, XP cannot access the encrypted list of users in a preopenstack handler. I had to change it so that the application has actually launched and THEN looks up the names of users. He then complained that images looked odd. All Gifs. Some were home spun, but standard icons and the pointy hand cursor also displayed wrongly. As usual I got good advice from this list, but nothing really hit the target. I have just discovered that when faced with the original problem, this customer tried using the Windows XP Compatibility Wizard. On the face of it, a reasonable thing to try. However, it was only *after* using this that the display problems emerged.I have a feeling this particular wizard is more of a Saruman than a Gandalf. I am pretty sure I have fixed the original problem. The question is what advice do I give the customer? It seems that the dreaded wizard remembers the exe and creates what it feels is the 'correct' environment automatically whenever it is launched. Is this right? What exactly does it fiddle with? How can it be persuaded to not intervene any more? (please, no quests to the Cracks of Doom).

htmlText and links
I have what may be kind of a strange question. I am using links in html to set up some text for users to click on and have a definition displayed. The text consists of a word (or words) with the textStyle set to link, and the href for that link is set to the text of the accompanying definition. Then using the linkClicked message I can retrieve the definition and display it. This all works great. Now for my weird question. What I'd like to do is apply some automatic formatting to my definition. So certain words would be bold and certain words would be italicized. Is there any way to include the appropriate tags within my html link? For example, in my text file, I might have something like this: a href=A ball is something that you bounce.ball/a Is it possible to do something like this? a href=A bball/b is something that you bounce.ball/a I know the above does not work because I've tried it. I'm wondering if there is some kind of escape character that will allow me to literally include the tags in the href, then I could set another field's htmlText to that.

Re: htmlText and links
Unless you redefine a new HTML standard, you out of luck. The solution is to make a lookup table for your href links and substitute the formated lookup after the click... a href=my link is not formatedmy link/a in a field you have the linkreferences containing the link and the formated link separated by your favorite itemdelimiter. Then you put the number of lines in char 1 to offset(mylink,linkreferences) of linkreferences into thisline put item 2 of line thisline of linkreferences into formatedlink and VOILA! Mind you the example script is not complete and the lineoffset will probably fail... cheers Xavier On 07/01/2004 16:30:29 use-revolution-bounces wrote: I have what may be kind of a strange question.

Win98 loses path
I hope someone can help me on this one. I designed a CD to run on Mac OS9/OSX and Windows 2000/XP. But a lot of users are telling me they have Win 98 and although some of the CD works there is a rather big problem on 98. The following scripts do work in 2000 and XP but not in 98. I put the development fix in so it can work from the location of my images folder. The problem is in the relative path that displays my images. In my main stack I reference - media/Slide10.png - which is in my media folder with my final build. (These images do show up when referenced in the property inspector as ' media/Slide10.png ' etc. ) Then I have buttons over this image that open a substack based upon what the slide states. When the substack opens I then have this script to load what ever images are in a corresponding folder for this substack. (These images don't show up in 98 but do on all the other platforms listed below) So if card one in main stack has a button that opens substack 31i then I have a sub folder named 31i and in it I have my png slide images. Well the images do not appear in 98 but do work in 2000 and XP home and XP Pro. They work fine in OS9 and OSX (3.x). What could be different about the defaultFolder in 98? Does anyone know?

RE: A text representation of recent actions?
For example, say a user has choose pencil tool set and draws in the image. Is there a way of capturing, in text form, what the user did so that information can be sent to a server? The only way is to trap the messages that are caused by the user and forwarding them to your server. Like for example you can trap closeField to forward the message Changed data in field fieldName to your server. Other things you'll have to do based on commands you implement. So for example, if someone clicks on a pencil tool in your tool palette, you can trap the mouseUp message and forward Selected pencil tool to your server.

Rev Crash Again!
I hope I can get someone to respond to this. I¹m at my wit¹s end... Jim Hi Folks... I¹m scripting a button to create a thumbnail button icon of the current card. When I run the following button script, it runs fine the first time. If I run it a second time, Rev aborts on the statement I have marked. How come? Am I overflowing a buffer or something? It¹s hampering my testing by restarting Rev, however when I do, it runs fine then aborts the second time again. on ExportCard pStackPath,pImageType -- pStackPath is the path to the stack whose card you want to export -- pImageType is one of the three formats supported by the export -- command: paint, png or jpeg put the alwaysBuffer of stack pStackPath into tOldBuffer -- The next two lines force the current card image into the offscreen buffer set the alwaysBuffer of stack pStackPath to false set the alwaysBuffer of stack pStackPath to true -- create invisible image if there is not an img Gallery Image then create img Gallery Image set the imagePixMapID of img Gallery Image to (the pixMapID of stack pStackPath) select last image set the alwaysBuffer of stack pStackPath to tOldBuffer put 220 into theTargetSize -- adjust size here hide img Gallery Image put theTargetSize/the formattedwidth of img Gallery Image into theRatio set the width of img Gallery Image to theTargetSize ** it aborts on the following statement the second time * set the height of img Gallery Image to \ round(the formattedheight of img Gallery Image * theRatio) if the height of img Gallery Image 170 then set the height of img Gallery Image to 170 set the icon of btn Gallery Button to the short id of img Gallery Image choose browse tool end ExportCard Thanks...

slightly off-topic: mac odbc
I need to have an app talk to a MySQL database using a User DSN. I have no problem setting up the ODBC on the pc, but the ODBC Administrator on my OSX mac doesn't make a lot of sense to me. On the pc I provide the ODBC manager with the database name, server name, username and password, and I can test the connection and it tells me the connection is successful.

Steve, I haven't looked at it in 10.3, but in MacOS 10.2 the ODBC administrator was worthless IMHO. It is a stripped down version of iODCB Driver Manager which comes with the commercial iODBC drivers. Download some drivers and use that Driver Manager instead. I've found ODBC on Unix and Mac to be a real pain because most of the drivers are very expensive, and it's not very widely used. Unlike on Windows where everything is ODBC it seems.

RE: XP GIF display oddities
David, A couple of points. 1) I doubt the compatibility wizard creates *any* envrironment variables (course, I could be wrong, but this is the *first* I've ever heard of this. Couldn't find *anything* on Google about it either, which would confirm my suspicion that the wizard isn't affecting anything. My understanding of the wizard is that it mostly checks a database to see if the program has been 'XP certified.' Of course your app wouldn't be (unless you've submitted it to MS for certification) 2) It sounds like the problem could be your users display drivers. Generally when *standard* images display incorrecty on XP in Rev, the issue is display drivers. You can have your user to the following to test: Right-click the desktop and select properties choose settings tab click on the Advanced button Click the Troubleshoot tab Turn Hardware acceleration to NONE and turn off the Enable write combining check box. Relaunch the problem program and see if it the problem goes away. If it does go away, then you can gradually add increasing levels of Hardware acceleration until it appears again ( and try checking the 'enable write combining' box again) If this works, then the issue is the display drivers and your user could check for driver updates...or just use the lower acceleration. best, Chipp -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 6:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: XP GIF display oddities Hello folks, OK, I am unsure whether it is only me with any interest in this thread, but it may be that what I have established helps others, and someone who knows XP might help me to take the next step. The story so far is that a customer with XP complained that a list of authorised users did not appear in his copy. (which disabled the buttons navigating to screens) It seems that unlike all other versions of Windows, XP cannot access the encrypted list of users in a preopenstack handler. I had to change it so that the application has actually launched and THEN looks up the names of users. He then complained that images looked odd. All Gifs. Some were home spun, but standard icons and the pointy hand cursor also displayed wrongly. As usual I got good advice from this list, but nothing really hit the target. I have just discovered that when faced with the original problem, this customer tried using the Windows XP Compatibility Wizard. On the face of it, a reasonable thing to try. However, it was only *after* using this that the display problems emerged.I have a feeling this particular wizard is more of a Saruman than a Gandalf. I am pretty sure I have fixed the original problem. The question is what advice do I give the customer? It seems that the dreaded wizard remembers the exe and creates what it feels is the 'correct' environment automatically whenever it is launched. Is this right? What exactly does it fiddle with? How can it be persuaded to not intervene any more? (please, no quests to the Cracks of Doom).

Re: Pencil to Browse tool switch
Ronald Zellner wrote: This should be basic, but it doesn't want to cooperate. I have a button which chooses the pencil tool so the user can draw in an image rectangle. There is also a button to choose the eraser tool that works fine if the browser tool is active, but it will not respond if clicked when the pencil tool is active. The cursor also remains as the pencil (doesn't switch to an arrow as the documentation states it should) even after moving out of the image rectangle. I know many commands require the browse tool to operate but I need a way for the user to switch from the pencil to the eraser. Any solutions?

2.11 vs 2.12 - change in behavior regarding bg colors
I found the cause of my bg color problem. In 2.1.1, if you set a stack's bg color that is what is shown in the IDE and also in the standalone app. But in 2.1.2 setting a stack's bg color only shows up in the IDE. You have to set the *card's* bg color in order for it to also show up in the standalone app. I think this should be considered a 2.1.2 bug - either in the IDE or in the created standalone app. At the minimum they should look the same. doug ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
