Re: displaying jpg in Player problem

Memory management problem?
One of the Rev developers I support here had an issue I didn't know how to answer, so I'm passing it on in hopes someone has encountered it: quote DELL Computer XP Revolution ver. 2.12 Problem Descriptions: Memory mgmt problem: highlight a newly created card to delete in the Application Brower with the card showing on screen, somehow deleted the card above it. So, I did not save the rev file because I've made a lot of changes on the card advertently deleted and got out of Revolution. When I went back in and found the file show the card deleted already. So, went to get the old file saved on another computer and brought it in to overwrite the most recent file. Yet, Revolution still shows an image of the latest, i.e. with the timestamp of the old file. I checked several times of the odd situation. After rebooting the computer, the Revolution then works properly in pointing to the correct image. It seems as if there is a file pointer problem or a cached copy of the file lingered in the system even after the user gets out of Revolution and comes back in. Thanks Devin for all you do for us.

Hi Linda (via Devin), I believe what you are seeing is the Application Browser's failure to update its window following changes to a card.

Doing this (and always keeping a base polygon in existence, so it can be modified and never drawn from scratch) makes it much more palatable - 70x70 draw time is down from 700 to about 95 ticks.

I've got the simple cases done (one polygon with many, many vertices draws real quick - but can take a bit longer to build), but still exploring the options for building (and modifying on the fly rather than rebuilding) multiple polygons. However, if the layering of colours is important, this idea won't work. I think I'll finish up using something more complex - a graphic per colour per subset of the data - but I'm a long way from putting enough of the app together to really know about that yet. Still at the learning basic techniques in Revolution stage. btw - I spent a long time today trying to change the colour I was drawing in without success; finally got it - add markercolor to the list of Rev keywords I've learnt.

RE: Setting explicitVariables
Basically here's what's going on... the next version of Rev will not run properly with explicitVariables turned on (just like it does now). HOWEVER, there is a special Variable Checking mode that you can put the Script Editor in so that it will check your scripts as if it had explicitvars on (so you can catch all your scripting boo-boos), but does not put the entire Rev IDE under explicitVariables. So basically, turning on explicitVariables yourself will cause the IDE (both this and the next versions) to have problems. RunRev has promised to get the IDE explicitVars-clean, but it may take another version before that has been done. Anyway, that's MY understanding of the situation...

Re: RevNet installation
On 7/14/04 6:14 PM, Alena Raymond wrote: Second option was to make it remote controlled from the server (using RevNet) Available to special clients using some kind of small standalone that does nothing but open stacks stored on the server. I was wrong on that one! Actually, I think this is something you could do. You would need to store your standalone stack on the server as the orginal stack, not as a standalone. Then you need to build a standalone like RevNet which you can distribute to your clients. When your clients click a button on their standalone, it downloads the stack from your server. To open a stack over the internet, you only need this command: go stack url http://www.domain.com/mystack.rev; You can't run a standalone over the internet, but you can run stacks, which is what RevNet does. This method does not give you remote control over the operation of the stack, but the user can run the stack just as if it were located on his computer. Is that what you need to do? -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

How to load a property with an Array?
Hi, Can I set an array directly into a custom property or do I have to 'combine' the array before setting it and then 'split' it after I get it in order to use it as an array? I would like to do something like: put dog,13 cat,12 rat,129 into myPetInventory split myPetInventory by and , set the pets of this card to myPetInventory Thanks, Michael ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Best format for screen shots?
Mark, Word has lots of weird. Sometimes turning on fractional widths helps, sometimes it hurts - only experimenting can tell for sure. In a large operating manual I have one page where I want a small picture to sit side by side with a small paragraph. Position them so, print and the paragraph prints above the picture - and the manual has changed on the screen to match the printout. No matter what I do. Of course there is no real alternative...

Re: Best format for screen shots?
Thomas, Excellent advice! Suggestions are coming in faster than I can test them - especially with a little business to run on the side. I am still leery of bitmaps for the work I'm doing, but your suggestions and experience were reassuring. Thank you.
