Custom Cursor Outside of Rev?
Anyone know if it's possible to control the appearance of the cursor outside of Rev? In other words, is it possible to employ a custom cursor within Rev that can also be displayed if the user clicks on the desktop or into another app? Specifically, I have a utility that provides screen information with custom cursors, and I'm trying to hide the default pointer cursor while the utility is active, even when outside of Rev.

Re: Burn files to CD in Rev - Burning Desire Stack
It appears that my post (although erroneously perceived as a shot across the bow) had the desired effect. Thomas' message (#10, Vol 4, Issue 131) laid out the steps and I am making progress. So a big thank you! to Thomas for his shell code. I do have one question, though (for now). I have a folder that has a space as part of its name (my folder for example). How would one specify this folder as the source? I get an error that is obviously due to the Terminal mis-parsing the folder name as a result of the space. I have placed the folder path into a field but referencing the field leaves that darn space. I imagine I'd have to replace that space with an ASCII code? BTW: I intend to create a stack that explains exactly what is done to accomplish the burning of the CD and then post it where it may be freely downloaded by anyone who needs it. My hope is that I can encapsulate the seamy underbelly of it all so that my burn myFolder line of Transcript code may be all that is required of the developer.

Re: OS X Menu Problem
About the Edit menu, the last 2 items are deleted ONLY if the last item name or label is Preferences.

APXL Schema - Using REV
Hello all listies, I was a wondering, I am reading the XML usage in OSX and it turns out that Keynote stores presentations in XML using Apples APXL Schema. It would appear to me that REV using the APXL can open and display Keynote presentations in Mac and Windows computers. A REV Keynote presentation tool created in REV would be a valuable tool. Also Powerpoint transfers to Keynote very quickly and easily. SO, A person could in effect translate all powerpoint presentations to keynote via Applescript and then open them in REV using XML and the APXL from Apple. This is huge in my opinion. Such a tool would have a large user base for people looking for a better way to present graphics and data without using PP or Director. HHMMM Anyone else see the potential in this?

Problems using rev-XML functions
I've been investigating rev's built in functions for parsing XML using this simple XML file (the angle brackets are shown as parens for this message): (root) (record id=1) (fld1)Harry(/fld1) (fld2)Ron(/fld2) (/record) (record id=2) (fld1)Fred(/fld1) (fld2)George(/fld2) (/record) (/root) The two main functions for parsing XML are revCreateXMLTree, which takes the XML source as a parameter, and revCreateXMLTreeFromFile, which gets the XML from a file. Besides the source, there are three other parameters, all boolean switches. The first switch is whether to bail or not if an error in syntax occurs; the second is whether you want the function to build a tree in memory for you and return a pointer to it; the last is whether you want messages sent as the parsing proceeds. You'll want to set one of the last two switches true or the function will only tell you whether there was an error in syntax. There are basically two ways to use these functions, controlled by the last two switches: create a tree in memory and then use the other rev-XML functions to traverse and interrogate it; or have the parser send messages as it goes, like revStartXMLNode, revStartXMLData, etc. Here is what I found out. 1. The TD says that revStartXMLTree and revEndXMLTree messages will be sent when the parsing begins and ends; they are not. I noticed a reference in the See Also menu to revXMLStartTree but no entry for it, so on a hunch I tried that and it worked: the functions (Rev 2.1.2) send revXMLStartTree and revXMLEndTree. I filed this as a documentation bug (#1165), but probably they meant to change the names as the docs say; guess they will sort it all out. 2. There is a difference in the messages sent depending on if you also create the tree. I put simple handlers similar to this for all the messages: on revStartXMLNode attr put start node attr return after msg end revStartXMLNode Here is the sort of thing we get from either function with create_tree false and send_messages true: start tree: start node: root start data: start node: record start data: start node: fld1 start data: Harry end node fld1 start data: start node: fld2 start data: Ron end node fld2 start data: end node record But with create_tree true and send_messages true we get the much cleaner: start tree: start node: root start node: record start node: fld1 start data: Harry end node fld1 start node: fld2 start data: Ron end node fld2 end node record Obviously this is not a big problem, but it just don't seem right. I don't need the tree, but I wish I didn't have to deal with extra start data messages 3. The TD says the message revStartXMLnode nodeAttributes will get sent when the parser encounters an opening tag, where nodeAttributes is a string containing the attributes of the XML element currently being parsed, one attribute per line. The reason I started playing with this is because this doesn't make clear how you would know what the tag is. Notice in the test source above that when (record id=1) is parsed the parameter sent with the start node message is just the tag, record. Where's the id attribute? I didn't write a bug report about this because I'm not sure I understand how it's supposed to work. So can anyone provide any help, understanding, advice, or warnings about any of this?

Re: Weirdness with global variable declaration
Robert Brenstein said, I haven't tested this with the newest engine but earlier it was like Richard mentioned: globals had to be declared within a handler. There was some technical reason for that if I recall. Yes, the globala are *declared* within a handler, but setting the globals for all can set, usually at the top of the script editor, for each section (card script, background script, button script). For example: In the card script, at the top you could set: global gCatNames, gDogNames, gGreatToys on preOpenStack doTheNeatFldLocs doEmptyLitterBox -- setTheGlobals end preOpenStack on setTheGlobals put fld catNames into gCatNames put fld dogNames into gCatNames put fld greatToys into gGreatToys end setTheGlobals ... then, in the stack script (or any control script), simply start each script page with: global gCatNames, gDogNames, gGreatToys and those globals are available to all handlers on that page. This of course, works across all subStacks as well. Ray G.

Apparently there can be problems with some graphics cards if you go above 32,000. I encountered this in a project where I create a timeline from a database. The way I worked around it was to create groups that were no larger than say 5,000 pixels. These groups were stored inside of another group. Main Group - Subgroup A (5,000 pixels) - Subgroup B (5,000 pixels) - Subgroup C (5,000 pixels) - etc. I stored the combined width of all subgroups which might be like 50,000 pixels. In my custom scroll bar I would determine where in that 50,000 pixel wide timeline the user currently was and then display the appropriate subgroup(s). As soon as a subgroup moved out of the viewable area of the main Group then I would tuck it away off screen until it was needed again.

OT: CD Burner woes
Hi Group, I hesitate to bring this up to this list, since it's OT, but there's been some discussion of CD burning, so it's close. I'm looking for some advice re my Que external which hasn't worked since I left OS 9.1. As a hobbyist, I'm not a high-volume distribution producer, and my first project was just for one local situation, and I managed with a superdrive (single platform). But now I want to burn CDs. I'm running OS10.3.2, the drive is a QPS 525 (USB). Is there any hope of getting a driver for it that will work? Or should I bite the bullet and get a new one?

Challenge for a Rev/Unix Mac expert
I mailed a posting a few days ago about a problem I was having with Revolution when launching a unix command-line application with the shell() command. The problem I'm having is that the first time this particular unix call is invoked, it requires the Mac OS X authentification popup to display, which causes Revolution to hang for some reason. I've come to realize that really the only way to get help with this is to show you want I'm talking about, and that's going to involve me creating a little web-page with the download of the source code and the unix call. http://librarytools.com/helpneeded.htm The .rev app is only 5 lines of code, and 1 button. Very simple - - - and very simple to reproduce the problem. The unix command is called PPPSetup. It basically dials the Mac modem and logs in to the dialup server using whatever phone # and username and password is provided. If you run this from the terminal, it runs perfectly every time. If you run the rev app, it will hang itself the first time you authenticate. Then, hit FORCE-QUIT, then run it again, and it will be fine from then on out. The only solutions I can possibly think of are: 1) Have someone write a Carbon app on the Mac which just does the PPPSetup call with the parameters I've supplied, which then authenticates with the popup, and then sublaunches my main Rev app. If someone knows how to do this, or is willing to try this as an experiment, please let me know. 2) Perhaps there's a way to write a standalone Applescript application that will do a shell to this PPPSetup command, and then sublaunch my main REV application. However, I suspect that Applescript may have the same hanging problem. 3) Perhaps I could give someone the source-code to the PPPSetup unix call and see if there's some way to make it recover from the authentification popup. I don't know C, so I can't troubleshoot this myself. 4) If someone can find a working Applescript that will dial a modem with a username/password to a specific telephone #, that would be a great solution. However, I have yet to see such a working script. (lots of examples of just dialing, but no examples of dialing with username/password - - - you have to have applescript create a configuration first, and the folks on the AS listserve I'm on don't seem to think it's possible. It is in the Applescript dictionary for Internet connect, but I haven't found a technique or script that actually works) I already tried the SUDO command on this PPPSetup app, but since it's really an app and not just a command-line call, SUDO doesn't seem to like that approach. Any solutions to this problem are GREATLY appreciated. My present solution is to have Mindvision Installer VISE run PPPSetup and then sublaunch my REV app. This works, but it's sloppy. I'd like to do it all in Rev if at all possible. - Rob ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
