Re: Paste image from clipboard
Hi Developers, I have been pasting images in MC/RR and i have got some mixed results with one handler that will like you confirm. 1) Copy the file of a jpg image in windows explorer. The clipboard now has the path to the image: C://Documents//MyImage.jpg Notice, the function the clipboard in MC reports the clipboard as empty, but the function the clipboarddata returns the path of the image. write in message box: put the clipboarddata and you effectively get the path to the image Now, write in the message box: put binfile: the clipboarddata into zxcv set the customProperty01 of the topstack to url zxcv create image set the text of it to the customProperty01 of the topstack Now, this code works sometimes, others no.

Re: ODD open stack behavior
Ken, I put together an interactive CD for a company for their new product launch. In the CD is 14 chapters that each have multiple pages in them. On each page there are around 10 to 15 links, each link is to an area of content supplied by that links author. Since I had no prior way of knowing what content was to be provided by each person I set up a series of windows(substacks) to handle the content. Some people provided the content for multiple areas. Some provided Excel charts, some word docs and still others powerpoint files. There were also a couple of movies and links to web sites, etc. Some of the content turned out to be hundreds of slides but the engine was able to handle all of the content. The main stack with chapters and pages has voiceovers and can be navigated sequentially or via a chapter menu. The links are set up before hand to a corresponding substack which then each substack is handled by replacing or adding to the contents of a corresponding folder and the type of content for that link is handled accordingly. I spent my first few weeks learning Rev and then spent a month writing and designing the 'engine' to handle all of this expected content (it didn't come in until Christmas). I then had to wait for content to come in so I tested and cleaned up the CD. The engine done, I then only had to do some conversions(powerpoint to pngs, etc) on content and pop them in the right folders. This way the engine could be tested and changed and I was not concerned with what the content was or when it arrived. The final CD is 300 megs. and has hundreds of links plus a downloadable set of emulator demos for the new product. It runs on Windows 98, 2000, XP home, XP Pro, Macintosh OS9 and Macintosh OSX. Not bad for only just buying REV (October) and learning it and putting out a multiple platform interactive CD. In the end I think there were over a couple thousand chunks of content that had to fit together seamlessly into an engine that would know how to handle them regardless of what or how many there were. Since the start I now feel a little bit comfortable with REV and enjoy my REV coffee mug and long sleeve t-shirt. But most of all I have really enjoyed this list. I recognize some of the names here from my old Supercard days and everyone has been very patient with me and has helped me beyond knowing. I only hope I can give back what was given so freely to me.

I need to test it in a simple stack. Hi Tom I always use a startup handler to initialise globals and other settings for the whole program, because it seems a very neat way to do it in the final app. I put the handler in the stack script of my first stack (usually a splash screen which acts as the repository for my common routines). It is true that it doesn't work in the IDE (presumably when the IDE is started it swallows the startup message on its own account), but you can get round that by typing send startup to stack mySplash into the Message Box: another technique I have used is to have a button on a card which is only used during my development cycle (contains timing data, private logs and such) which just executes the script above. Late in the development cycle this card gets hidden or sent offscreen, but can be brought back easily enough if users report bugs. The shutdown handler is invoked during the quit sequence, and in fact 'shutdown' and 'shutDownRequest' are the only ways AFAIK to handle any shutdown actions you might want to perform under OSX, since the actual 'Quit' menu item is taken out of your hands by the OS. It seems to me that 'shutDownRequest' is superior to 'shutDown' because this gets sent when the OS demands that the application quits, at least on Mac systems (don't know how this differs from handling the aevtquit Apple Event, but that's another story). I have no experience with custom property sets, but clearly the technique you mention will only work for a non-read-only stack, otherwise all changes will be lost...

Thomas J McGrath III wrote I just found the on startup and on shutdown handlers. I have tried to clean up my CD project by putting the initializers into these handlers. The docs say that is what they are for. Has anyone used these that much? I use on startup and rely on it. It's true that it doesn't run in the IDE, only in a standalone. So what I do, in outline is... on startup # do things that only need to be done when run as a standalone initialise end startup on initialise # read prefs files, set up global environment etc. if the environment development then # do things that only need doing in the IDE end if end initialise Rather than use a preopenstack handler to run initialise automatically in the IDE (which has potential problems you have found out already by the sound of it), I either run initialise from the message box by hand, or sometimes include a temporary (during development) menu item to run it. The latter approach can sometimes be handy when testing a standalone, as it allows you to reinitialise - should you need to - without having to quit and relaunch the application. Of course that menu item would be removed from a published build. shutdown I never used, but actually I think it might be a good idea of I did. It looks like probably the most logical point to save an application's session state variables to disk.

Re: on startup and on shutdown
Thanks, everyone, it seems to me the startup is what I wanted and the IDE does not process it 'in my stack' (which actually makes sense since it is a call only once message and REV already did that on it's startup). I handled the startup not being loaded in the IDE by putting an if environment is development then do initialize in the preopenstack. This way I can leave the code in the app when built and it will switch to the startup instead. I guess I misinterpreted the docs about the shutdown message. It sounds like it would be the best place to set a 'save' . I thought it was saying I could put variables into a custom prop and it would actually save it. What set me off was I was quitting in the IDE and it was saving my stack with the new data in the custom prop each time I tested it so in affect I was doing the saving and a build of course can not save itself with the new data. Once again I notice that I put a lot of scripts into each handler that should be it's own function. This makes so much sense for reusing the script and yet I always seem to forget and end up with very long scripts.

I am using Runtime Revolution on Windows XP Professional and am unable to successfully connect to either Firebird or MS Access via ODBC.

Note that I CAN successfully use this ODBC Driver within other programs, such as R:Base. Using the Firebird ODBC driver my results are identical. I can establish a connection with the Database Query Builder but cannot get any tables to appear within the Record Set Table drop-down.

For tables that contain a certain configuration of columns (I haven't locked down the pattern yet) RunRev will GPF and terminate as soon as I select a table from the list. For other tables I can successfully select a table - resulting in the creation of a select statement in the SQL Query edit field.

Multi-level filtering question
I have a database which I have extracted a finite set of attributes from (call them A,B,C, and D). They are output as four lines of text for each record, for example: AttributeA: DN=Smith, John,OU=Users,DN=domain,DN=ComCR AttributeB: MTA=MSEXC210CR AttributeC: MDB=MSEXC210,Server=MSEXC212CR AttributeD: MailAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]CR I have been able to filter on any one of these attributes without a hitch. Even better since the database I am querying against can be several hundred MB in size the filter query is very fast, oftentimes taking less than a minute to extract for the query. The queries for this same job without the filter function took over 45 minutes in some cases so thank you developers! Anyway, getting back to my question. What I would like to do is filter for multiple aspects of each record (assuming several thousand records and each record having four lines with each line ending with a CR). I have been able to run a multi-level filter against the database and that works great, but what I have not been able to solve yet is to run the multi-level filter and have it extract all four lines of the record. Going back to the entry above, say I wanted to do a query that would find all records where AttributeB: MTA=MSEXC210 AND where AtrributeC: MDB=MSEXC210,Server=MSEXC212 were present then pipe all four lines of each record that fit the criteria out to a text file or output field. I hope this is clear as to what I am trying to accomplish. If you have any questions please let me know. Regards and thanks.

It is related to where the binary data is. In binaryDecode(), it is a
parameter; you are decoding the binary data. In binaryEncode() it is
the value returned by the function; you are encoding or building the
binary data.
Like this:
put binaryDecode( formatsList, binaryData, datum1, datum2, datum3) into
numConverted
datum1
{ binaryData datum2}--- numConverted
^ datum3
|
formatsList
local datum1, datum2, datum3
put binaryEncode( formatsList, datum1, datum2, datum3) into binaryData
datum1
datum2 binaryData
datum3 ^
|
formatsList
Now the designers could have made binaryEncode to be more like
binaryDecode, and that might have made things easier to remember, but I
like the functional binaryEncode and I build functions for conversions
around both anyway.
So the problem with your example of binaryDecode is that the parameter
for the binary data is missing.

Thanks Chipp, and I will certainly try your advice. However, from playing around with the Wizard and the following (from Microsoft support A HREF=http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/suppo rt/kb/articles/Q301/9/11.ASPNoWebContent=1here/A) it *does* seem that the Wizard tries settings and then if you indicate the problem is resolved, it remembers the settings and these are automatically applied to your standalone on launch. As far as I can tell, you aren't informed what has been changed. This article describes how to use the Program Compatibility Wizard. The Program Compatibility Wizard prompts you to test your program in different modes (environments) and with various settings. For example, if the program was originally designed to run on Microsoft Windows 95, set the Compatibility Mode to Windows 95, and then try to run your program again. If this is successful, the program will start in that mode each time. The wizard also allows you to try different settings, such as switching the display to 256 colors and the screen resolution to 640 by 480 pixels. Most programs run properly on Windows XP. The exceptions are some older games and other programs that were written specifically for an earlier version of Windows. If you are experiencing problems with a program that worked correctly on an earlier version of Windows, this wizard helps you select and test compatibility settings that may fix those problems. Many of the most common issues that prohibit earlier versions of programs from working correctly are resolved. If you run a program and it does not function as expected, it is recommended that you run the program in one of the compatibility environments. They are somewhat grandly called compatibility environments, but actually, the only things that are changed are colour depth, screen resolution and visual themes may be disabled. The confusing thing is that your colour settings could be OK, but then get messed up when you launch and presumably are reset when you quit. I am going to have another wrestle with it this week to find out how to stop it interfering if a user has unwisely let it believe that the standalone needs a particular compatibility environment.

Re: on startup and on shutdown
Tom, If you're trying to store the property into a stack that resides on the CD, you're toast because the CD is read-only. The only way to do what you want is to either: 1) Copy at least one stack to the user's disk and store the properties there, or 2) Create a preferences file where you store the property data on the user's disk, and read/write that prefs file on startup and shutdown. As for using preOpenStack or a startup handler -- if you have a preOpenStack handler in your main stack, then you'll have to have an empty preOpenStack handler in each substack so that the main stack's preOpenStack handler is overridden. Like this: on preOpenStack -- This overrides the main stack handler. -- Do not call pass preOpenStack otherwise the main stack handler will get called. end preOpenStack Best, -- Frank Leahy On Sunday, January 11, 2004, at 01:56 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Either a custom prop can store info collected during use or if not, then a sep stack needs to do it Which one? ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I see three problems areas in measuring the frequency of a flute tone. The first is (the best I know) that recording is to a file and is not an input stream. That will make a delay from recording the tone and then analyzing it. The greater the accuracy needed, the longer the delay. (There might be some way to avoid some of that.) The second is converting the sound file into a form for computation. The third is the signal processing. This might involve some digital filtering and then a FFT. The FFT result would then be analyzed for finding the fundamental. There are probably ways to avoid that if all you need is the fundamental and you know about what it is.

RE: When clicking on a palette item, how does Rev know what stack youwere in?
Is there an easy way of detecting which of the windows I was in when I went to click the palette? Well, if you ask for the topStack, you'll get the top-most, non-palette stack (which *should* be the one you were last working with.

I ended up doing this with a mouseLeave handler in the stack I was in. That seems most reliable, in case the other stack is not a palette. doug ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Linux dist build problem
This is expected behavior as OS9 doesn't have an execute bit to set. You found the fix. Bill Vlahos On Jan 9, 2004, at 8:42 AM, T. R. Ponn wrote: Hello all! I'm developing with MacOS9.2.2, RunRev2.0.3 for multi-platform distribution... Apparently, one of my Linux beta sites reports that the app is not appearing as an executable. So...he manually sets that flag before he uses the app so that Linux will treat it properly. Any clues? Is this a distribution buider problem, or some setting that I've overlooked? I don't recall having this problem with 1.1.1, I think it just started with 2.0.3, although I'll be looking through previous versions of my app very quickly now :-[ Thanks in advance for your help!

ANN: New webpage :D (my stacks will be here from now on...)
Hi Folks, It's full of happyness that I announce here first my new home on the web. It took a while to organize everything. Also not everything is online yet. I must upload the stacks, but there's info there. Also this makes a huge step from working with Rev from a hobbie standpoint to a more mature (and commercial) standpoint. All my projects and contracts will be here. Everything that I think is usefull for our community will be public domain. Also there's a blog where I'll put the news! The XML-RPC Project and the HTTPd Project will be updated this week. Also simple code tidbits will be posted to the blog. my new url is http://studio.soapdog.org feel free to mail me comments on my projects and page :D Ah, and I want to qualify for membership on the RunRev Web Ring!!!

[ANN] libEmail v1.00 and libSmtp v2.00
Well after many months of sitting around and doing nothing, I'm finally releasing the next version of libSmtp and it's new companion library - libEmail! libSmtp has been re-written and all of the email encoding features that were found in the previous versions have all been off-loaded to libEmail. What's new in libSmtp v2 - almost 100% re-written - more robust error handling - everything should be threaded (wait with messages) - better smtp authentication support and handling libEmail v1.0.0 is a new library featuring all the great features found in the old libSmtp library, but with much better support. All the code has been sifted through and re-written in many places. Support for unicode in headers and message body parts was added in. Why two libraries now? It's not a money grab ^_^ as they are both released into the public domain. The reason for the two libraries is to allow me to give better attention to the one task that they're to do, but also to allow you greater flexibility and choice. What choices? By spliting them into two libraries, you can use another library with either one of these libraries. As always, feel free to write with comments, suggestions or fixes for undocumented features ;-) -Sean www.shaosean.tk ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

It's actually 1.14 milliseconds per transition. I was referring to you trying to figure out the frequency yourself by checking the period of the incoming waveform, not the reporting interval. I think this is something that's better off done in hardware, or as close to the hardware as you can get. -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
