toolbar icons
Hi All. Are the standard windows toolbar icons available anywhere?

RE: toolbar icons
Bob, Since many are reused by other programs I took the most common, retouched to taste and put them into my stacks... In the end what's left is just the shape or the basic outline. In the end you got your own icons and takes less time... I had a huge library of icons in HC but never managed to convert it to MC or RR. Twas black and white too ;( There's a cool site called the www.iconfactory.com which has quite a few too...

Hi all. I think runrev need a stock set of icons for beginners to populate a toolbar. If you haev any toolbar icons eg save etc could you post to this thread (note not the icons, only what you have.). I'll then email you in private where to sent the icon/s. Then I'll make a stack for people to download from revonline. These icons MUST be royalty free. Cheers Bob -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Re: Printing Again - gray background when printing
Gray background when printing but not visible on the screen.
I bugzilla-ed this WYSIWYG failure and the bugzilla was marked as not a bug.
I think the gray should show on the screen the same as it prints as it is
annoying. I wish we could re-bugzilla this and get it fixed as I believe
that it is definitely not a feature.

The gray background of the field is due to the fact that the default

inherits its default color from the stack, which in turn inherits its

relevant, I'd think), the default color of the engine is different for
printing than it is for display on the screen. Manually specify a
background color of white for the card to fix this problem.
As for the font issue, the card is being scaled when printed. By
default, 1 pixel on the screen maps to 1 point on the printer. Since
your screen is likely not 72 dpi (most have a higher resolution now),
the font appears bigger on the printout. Check the documentation on
the printScale property for more info.

On screen, the card is plain white with some 9 point monaco text on it.
The printed page has a white border, the area of the field being light

Re: Printing Again
Sorry to be dense, but doesn't this mean that in order to get a properly scaled print out, one must always know the resolution of the screen currently in use? For example, my laptop has a screen res of 100 pixels per inch, therefore, to print 9 point text on the screen as 9 point text on the page, I must use a printscale value of 0.72 (72/100). This works. Incidentally, the docs cover the use of the printscale property for printing reduced or enlarged, but there's no suggestion that it would be necessary to use it for simply printing 9 point text as 9 point text...still, it serves the purpose. But what if my app is printing from a computer with a different screen res? (I'm assuming, perhaps wrongly, that we can generally rely on printers using 72dpi). So then the question is, how can this screen dpi value be found? I haven't yet found anything in the docs, searching on 'screen', resolution', 'pixels', 'dpi', 'dot' or 'inch'. How does everyone deal with this, or do you just set it on your own machine and then hope for the best? Or perhaps I really am just being dense.

Re: Printing Again - gray background when printing

No, they are correct; it is not a bug. The background is white on Mac
OS X by default, but under Windows, it is determined by color choices
the user makes in the control panel. The gray printing default is
maybe not ideal, but unless you explicitly specify a default color, you
aren't given any guarantees as to what color you will actually get.
You specify what you want, or you live with what you get.
And it is a feature, too: the default color is determined based on the
environment in which the image is being rendered; in this way, the
stack blends in with its environment. I agree that it makes more
sense to use a white background when printing, but it is not
unreasonable to require the user to specify this. Not at all.

Change absolute link to relative link
Folks: I've got my first small project assembled. However, I didn't realize until the end that Quicktime files must be in the same folder as the Rev application for them to be correctly bundled with a standalone. I've tried to move all the Quicktime files into the Rev application folder and relink all of them using the inspector. However, when I try to move between cards after changing the link the following message appears: A stack with the same name as the one you are trying to load is already open. Before loading . what do you want to do with stack ? I've tried saving, purging and cancelling at this point. None seem to work and only seem to result in Rev hanging (reinstall required as mentioned in the archives), corrupting the relinked Quicktime files or losing the new links. Is there an easy way to change the absolute links to relative links without a problem? Or do I have to start from scratch? Steve __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.

Re: problem in libURL...
Richard, I am at 2.5 release... after rebooting the machine libURL started to behave better guess what there's a strange thing with XML-RPC lib, the one that taps into revXML that taps into libURL anyway. For example revXMLRPC_CreateRequest is a handler, but if you call it as if it is a function by using parenthesis, it will not return an error, it will return fine, but it will never work and the errors will be related to libURL... heck no xmlrpcerr: something, but things like socket timeout and stuff.

For linux, the screen saver is a plain executable, but due to the different nature of the window managers, I am left without knowing if it is really that simple, like what parameters are passed in Gnome, and in KDE, and afterstep... there are so many options Also in MacOS X, you cannot simply use a executable (I tried) it didn't passed the test... For mac classic, there are some settings that must go inside the resource fork, but thats all, the rest is you executable.

Re: Revolution Hypercard cellophane color
sez [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ...when I set the ink of the graphic to blend, the colors underneath blend with the color of the graphic. That's not what happens in Hypercard. In Hypercard, the color of the top object trumps everything underneath unless what is underneath is black. Any other color is completely obliterated. There is no blending. So blue over a white background remains blue. With blend in Revolution, I believe blue over a white background becomes light blue. Perhaps there is something that I don't understand about blend. The thing you're missing may well be a property called blendLevel, which basically defines how opaque the top graphic is. Just for grins, you might want to try making button on the same card as your blend graphic, and give said button this script... on mouseUp repeat with K1 = 0 to 20 put 5 * K1 into BLevel set the blendLevel of graphic Whatever its name is to BLevel wait 3 ticks end repeat end mouseUp This handler is, of course, *extremely* quick and dirty, but it should serve to demonstrate my point.

Re: Getting User Email Settings
Thanks, Frank. That may be my best solution. We have a bit of an unusual requirement in that the user of our app has to pay per-use, so I can either have a single, shared user ID and password login for my own SMTP server or I can even probably script a way to generate a user ID and password combo when they pay up and get their unlock code to use the app. Either way should be fine, I think. The server won't be open to relaying and the volumes are low enough they won't overtax my server. Now I just have to go figure out how to configure my FreeBSD box to run an SMTP server.

So assuming such lamers get fired, the question becomes: Is Dan comfortable handing his SMTP password to anyone with a copy of Interarchy or other traffic monitoring tool? ;) If you need email specifically, it should not be too onerous to ask users to set up yours just as they set up their own. You can be extra nice and provide instructions on where they can find that info, but most can do it or they don't have email. But if the goal is to have them send you messages, you could bypass email altogether with a CGI: the user client sends to the CGI, and you can write your own custom client for yourself that retrieves the messages and their attachments.

Now select the appropriate script libraries databases to be used with your app. Basically you are manually choosing the required inclusions for your app. instead of letting Rev do it... Now you should be able to build your standalone app OK! Don't know why this happens but 9/10 times it does... I have a 3 mb app with 8 sub-stacks and no problems when creating a standalone. Another app with only 3 sub-stacks causes the error message? Cheers Dwayne... I have a simple stack (2 cards) which no longer allows me to build a standalone. It just gives me a cryptic message saying that it encountered an error. I'm guessing that there is some sort of problem with something on the stack or on a card. I built a standalone when it was only one card without problems so I suspect it is something on the second card. My question is is there a way to get more information than the simple dialog box to tell me what the problem is? I can start deleting things at random (there are not that many components but it would be much better to be more cluefull about this.

I'd suggest keeping the specialized words in a separate file. They can be read in and added to the gWords array, but also kept in a separate variable. By all means have a separate stack - but why make the user type the initial letters again ? They've already typed it once (admittedly wrongly). I'd use their failed attempt as a seed, and sort all the specialized words in your dictionary against it. Assuming that the specialized words are to be in gSpecial, a cheap and cheerful way to generate the suggestions would be function suggest pWord local tIdeas, L, t, i, tResult repeat for each line L in gSpecial put 0 into t repeat with i = 1 to the number of chars in pWord if char i of pWord = char i of L then add 1 to t else exit repeat end if end repeat if t 0 then put L t cr after tIdeas end repeat sort lines of tIdeas descending by word 2 of each repeat for each line L in tIdeas put word 1 of L space after tResult end repeat return tResult end suggest Note - this does assume the first letter is correct - you could relax that requirement by removing the if t 0 then ... test.

Sorry, OS 9 standalones can't be build on Windows because of the resource fork requirements that are stripped out under WIndows. OS X is different because everything is a file, but I haven't build any Mac apps on Windows so I don't know how well this works. The only way to create a Mac classic standalone is on a Mac, AFAIK.

I got the same results, but I also noticed that going to www.soapdog.org bounced me to http://homepage.mac.com/soapdog/studio/;, which *does* work with put URL. Same thing with mac.com, which bounced me to http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Welcome;, which also worked. So there's something having to do with the redirect, I guess...

Execute the following in your message box: go url http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/getinline.rev; Nice! Thank you. I'm not a good enough scripter to sculpt it to my needs, but it works beautifully for what it does. I wish Rev held such functionality in its own innards... seems like it should if apps are to follow standard Mac interface appearance and functionality. For some reason, I still can't get items in a list to drag and drop into another field, but unfortunately in my application the user needs the visual feedback your solution gives to know what is even happening. Otherwise a Move button ala the old resource editor from Hypercard makes more sense, though it lacks the elegance and ease of use of most any other Mac app. (I assume Windows does the same but I rarely have occasion to work on a Wintel machine.) My objective would be to be able to click/drag select noncontiguous items from a long list of words and simply drag them to another field next door. Seems like it ought to work easily enough, but as I say, without the visual feedback of actually carrying the text, I'd be the only one who know it was even going to work. -Mark ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: even worse trouble with libURL...
What you might want to check out is how soapdog.org redirects the user. Is it with a Frame or with a JavaScript then that may be the reason that Revolution is not recogonizing the redirect.
