auto-hilite text vs. scripting the hilite
I've got a text field that contains a list of filenames, along with commands to Download, and View, like this: Filename1 Download View Filename2 Download View Filename3 Download View Filename4 Download View What I want to do is make it so that I can trap that the user has clicked on the word Download or View. I am presently doing this successfully using the mouseText function and trapping for Download or View However, I also want to allow the user to click on the filename, hiliite it, and hit the Delete key to delete the file. In order to do that, it seems like I need to turn on the auto hilite text checkbox, and turn on the use list behavior checkbox. However, when I do that, my ability to trap for the individual word on a line goes away (the mouseText then returns the text for the entire line, so I can't trap for Download or View anymore) Is there a way I can hilite a line within a text field and still permit the mousetext command to work? (So that it only returns the word the user has clicked on) OR, if there was a way to set the hilite of a line via Transcript - - that seems like it would work too - - - however, I've found that it only works if I have the auto hilite/Listbox checkboxes turned on for the field. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Disappearing Objects in 2.5 under OS X
Very annoying. Happens to me too. You have to be careful that an object isn't selected on one of your stacks because when you hit the backspace key to edit what you are writing when searching for something in the help stacks or (more common) when that weird error dialogue comes up to let you know that your transcript has an error but you can't seem to dismiss it properly... Oh well. The workaround I use is to always be sure that I don't have an object selected. The error (or whatever you call it -- bug maybe?) hasn't deleted an entire stack yet.

I'll be doing an article in the Malta Times that will reach local designers, computing firms, etc. and hopefully convert a few through that means of spreading the word. I've had a few tell me they will be at the conference. After speaking to a fellow who hosted an education conference here, he contacted some people from Nepal (Himalaya Training Centre ), they have sent payment and I'm working on their visa right now.

Custom properties wiped with changing profiles
So it seems that rev deletes custom properties when switching profiles?? Easily reproducible - try it! What is with this? I have never used profiles before so I dont know if this is this a bug in 2.5, or an old bug that still hasn't been fixed. I couldnt find anything about it in the Docs and I assume it is not intentional. What is going on??

Kathy try putting this on a field called myscript: tell application iCal activate end tell put a button with the following script on mouseUp do field myscript as applescript end mouseUp I guess that should work...

Thanks Ken, You guys are so bright! This genius list is growing.

It just happened to me again moments ago, and I wasn't doing any scripting. I was just trying to get properties on several selected objects at once so that I could align them. I don't think it has anything to do with scripts. Like you, the button contents returned after a while. When it went south, I closed the inspector, double-clicked a single field to open the inspector, and it was still broken. Closed it, selected 2 objects, doubled-clicked on one of them, and when the inspector came back again the button worked. I don't think there is anything magical about 2 objects, either -- I think there is a message that is being missed in the IDE. The inspector loads its button contents dynamically when an object is selected, and it looks like sometimes it isn't getting a selectedObjectChanged message. -- 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
