Re: Syntax problem
I don't think I understand your reply. The variable theLink holds a well-formed url. I'm looking to add to that url by adding the contents of another variable subID Example: variable theLink holds http://www.google.com; variable subID holds a number such as 44568 I'm looking for a way to combine both variables so the result is: http://www.google.com/44568 Try this: put theLink / subID into tURL get tURL BUT, you must make sure that this gives you a well-formed URL, so that is why I suggested putting the URL into the message box first and seeing if it worked in a browser.

I think Jerry Daniels has a bug report on this. My fix is to 'start using stack altCursorLib' i know you are no Metacard man ;-), but since there is this lovely bug in the engine: - set cursor to hand results in the resize cursor, could you just change these lines to - set cursor to 8 in your altCursorLib, which does what we exspect and is 3 characters less to type :-) Thanks a lot :-) Regards Klaus Major [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.major-k.de ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Folder list order
Hello folks - just thought you might like to know about a weird issue I came across the other day. Not a bug in Rev, but weird behaviour on Windows that cost me hours (probably days) and about 20 CD-Rs... If you get a list of folders (using the folders ) on WIndows running from HD the list is alphabetical, NON case-sensitive, so (aardvark comes before Zoo). If you get the same list running from CD, the list IS case-sensitve (so Zoo comes before aardvark). Perhaps this is a known issue to seasoned Revvers, but it was new to me! This caused my prog to fail only when running from CD on Windows. Running from HD on Windows, or on Mac HD or CD was fine. The only way I could track problem down was to cut disc after disc. ARGHH. Anyway, moral of story is that it is probably prudent to sort the folder list as soon as you've got it so that you ensure consistent results.

Re: Folder list order
Xavier - I did try virtual cd rom control panel, but it didn't seem to want to mount any images I made from Toast on Mac (whichever format I chose ISO, UDF etc...) so I gave up with it. I'm afraid I am a bit of a Windows dunce. I make my CD's on Mac using Toast, so if you know of a specific PC utility that will mount these on XP I'd like to hear of it! Indeed, what I'd really like is to have a locked CD image mounted on my G5 that is available to PC on network that sees it as a CD. But I've not found a way to do that. Most of the time testing from a shared folder on my G5 is fine. This is the first time that I've come across a non-speed related issue that differs between CD and HD...

Documentation Errors [Was: naming variables...]
Brian, This brings up a good point that has been bugging me for years. It is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS that the Rev documentation built in to the IDE is so full of errors. How many repeat questions and confusion by folks trying to learn Rev are the result of wrong or missing documentation. Don't get me wrong, I really like the built in Doc. It is just that even I can read through it and find error after error. It seems like it would be so easy for an informed Rev programmer at RunRev to step through and fix up the doc in a matter of a week or two. It takes ten times as much work to make BZ reports about the errors than it does to just fix them. I bet a Wiki style doc file that the users could input to and that could be downloaded to the IDE if desired could cure the problem. It would probably greatly expand the How Do I and simple examples also. It seems like lots of people have tried to improve on the docs in various places on the web, but I don't want to go searching through ten sites and discussion lists to find a bit of info that should be part of the built-in docs. Stupid Doc errors AND small bugs in the IDE that are ignored (because GOOD programmers can find an undocumented workaround) make a bad impression about the quality of Revolution. It is even more damaging to DreamCard which is aimed at a less sophisticated users. As users we can't do much about the programming problems, except complain. However, if RunRev would empower us, we could do great stuff about the docs.

You know, when you find yourself adding a little frustration when figuring something out it never helps and ends up making you miss things.

Re: Pencil doesn't trigger mousedown?
Xavier, I don't know what mouseDown event you are needing but recently I fought the mouseDown and the mouseDown won. I did use other listers advice and start a self running loop (send checkMouse to me in 50 milliseconds) and look for an if the mouse is down or if the mouse is up in the checkMouse handler and that seemed to work fine. In fact since I didn't want to use the mouseMove it seemed the only other choice available to me. I don't know if it will work for you but give it a try. -- this acts just like a mouseDown message while holding the mouseDown and exits (after doing a mouseUp ). on checkMouse if the mouse is down then -- do something important end if if the mouse is up then -- do something else exit checkMouse end if send checkMouse to me in 50 miliseconds end if Tom On May 6, 2005, at 8:07 AM, MisterX wrote: In the quest for a cool shift-horizontal/vertical dragging functionality of the pencil as previously requested and often missed, i added the bit of coded needed to ResizeN2O.

How many repeat questions and confusion by folks trying to learn Rev are the result of wrong or missing documentation. I hear you loud and clear. Back when I was learning C, starting with externals using Gary Bonds' X-Command book seemed like a good start. I found myself spending a lot of time double-checking everything and rarely got anything to actually run. That was one of several experiences that made me appreciate xTalk, but a couple years ago I was telling that story to a good friend who's an expert in C on Mac (he's been known to make Apple engineers ask How'd you do that?) and he told me it was too bad I let it discourage me as the problem wasn't me at all -- he reports that most of the C examples in that book simply don't work. :( Missing stuff take time to address. I've not seen a product yet where people didn't complain about the docs every day until a variety of third-party books became available. Don't know why that is, just reporting what I've seen. It seems the only remedy is to track what's reported as missing and add it as soon after as possible. But errata should of course always be a high priority. Which erroneous entries have you found, and what are there Bugzilla IDs so we can draw attention to them? I believe Monte does a fair job of reviewing BZ for errata reports, and has a track record of addressing them promptly.

Re: QT Applescript. Bit OT (was Tiger problems...)
(Sorry folks, this is going off-topic, I think. But I'll post just in case someone has a suggestion!!) Could it be a licensing issue? Does QT7 require a new Pro license to script some features? Richard - I don't think that is it. They have definitely changed stuff. I don't have things to hand at moment, but here's one thing I can remember off the top of my head that causes us real problems... We are manipulating some large QT movies using Applescript/QTPlayer. e.g. taking an NTSC size movie with an alpha channel (very large because it requires the use of the none compressor) and adding a second movie behind it, then adding a sound track, cropping as necessary. Now with Panther/QT6.5 we could then save this file with dependencies to make a movie that was literally just a few k in size (i.e. very quick to save) This was easy to do, because the default save option in QTPlayer was this form. If we wanted to remove these dependencies we could save the movie with the AppleScript command Save self contained. This takes a long time and produces very big files (1Gb). This has all changed. The default option is now to save self contained, but there is no applescript option to save with dependencies, so like it or not, we always end up with *massive* files that take ages to save! (if any kind soul does have any suggestions on this one, I'd be soo grateful. This is a bit of a killer for us.) I'm pretty sure they have also changed the way in which QTPlayer applescript stores internal references to open movies (but I might be wrong here, memory going in old age) Chris On 6 May 2005, at 16:31, Richard Gaskin wrote: Chris Carroll-Davis wrote: We have a bunch of Applescripts that we fire from from SC that are broken under Tiger.

Hi Developers, Download the stack Pen Tool v2 from: http://www.geocities.com/capellan2000/penToolv2.zip This stack shows a pen tool similar to the bezier pen tool of vector ilustration software. i'm working in the companion three selection tools for this tool and integrating all my previous work with vector graphics into one stack: graphic tools v02 To start drawing, click on the button Set cursor to pen, then the cursor turns to the icon Pen Tool. To start drawing, click on the empty space of the card. 1- To start drawing a curved line, click on the card to create the FIRST VERTEX POINT (sending a mousedown msg) and while keeping the mouse down, drag the mouse far from the point where you clicked (mousemove msg) and release the mouse button (mouseup msg) to create the FIRST CONTROL POINT... a red line appears with a bezier curve. Click again (mousedown msg) to fix the position of the SECOND VERTEX POINT and move the mouse to shape the bezier curve (mousemove msg) and release the mouse in any location to fix the SECOND CONTROL POINT (mouseup msg). IMPORTANT: If you press the ALT/OPTION key while moving the mouse to fix the position of the SECOND CONTROL POINT, you get a THIRD CONTROL POINT that moves in sync with the second control point... this third control point becomes the first control point of a new curve that will follow the line you are drawing. Click to fix the position of these control points. Now the red line turns to a green line and you could repeat the steps above to draw another curved line or simply click and release the mouse button to draw straight lines. To close the polygon you put the cursor exactly over the beginning of the line (You'll notice that the cursor changes to a pen with a circle)and DOUBLE CLICK (mousedoubleup msg). You'll finish drawing anytime by double clicking in any place of the card. Feel free to streamline this handler for your own purposes. All i ask is that you keep an updated link to my website in your website or the documentation of your software.

ANN/RFD Python in Rev - no probs!
Hi Guys, Any python users in the list interested in a planned project to have python executed from Rev or compiled as dlls for RunRev including WinMFC and COM apis are welcome to join. Finally a possible way to do compileIt in RunRev. I dont have a Mac to see how this can be done but gnu-c compilation seems possible so there may be a way for osx/unix/linux users present and interested. So you input is equally welcome and encouraged. A team spirit to empower (keyword of the day) RunRev is only good for all in RunRev! I'll open a forum for it on MonsieurX.com if there is discussion material (and avoid polution to the kind Rev Mailist). Side note, this will probably be replicated for PHP and GNU C when and if needed only Plan more or less include in an approximate order: - The standard ebook hyper-referenced code library in Revo (independent but based on TAOO) - Python languague reference and translation matrix (rev to py and viceversa) - Object model compatibility interface (the exo in xos) - easy parameters passing as usual - Python function compatibility wrapper-layer (user python's calls in rev) - easier ports of py in rev! - Python direct function calls (shell or direct to dll eventually) - WinPython and Python shell call management-intelligence - Python task threading and scheduling management (agents are great tools) - Python - meta-dll to openGL modules and more... I think my agenda is full until next year now ;) Cheers Xav ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: RE disk image formerly Folder list order
Good recommendation! Dragon Burn does create a standard ISO disc image. It's just about as capable as Toast for most tasks, and has a very cool interface as well. Much more informative than Toast's.

a little message path issue
Dear List, Okay, let's see if I can explain this. I have a group that contains an image as a background and several custom buttons placed on the top of it. The background image has a stick out tab sort of thing on it's left side. The idea is to place the group on the right side of the window so that only the tab is showing. When the user moves the mouse over that tab, I want the group to slide out revealing the buttons. When the user moves the mouse out of the group, I want it to slide back so that only the tab is visible again. Okay, so far so good. So I place mouseEnter (to slide the button panel out) and mouseLeave (to slide it back in) handlers in the group's script. Worked great until I placed my buttons in the group. This is what happens now. I move the cursor over the tab. The group slides out fine. But as I move up and down over my buttons, mouseEnter and mouseLeave messages get sent, including those to the background image, which triggers my moving action. So if I mouseEnter one of my buttons, I mouseLeave my background image, which slides the group back. That's not the behavior I want. As long as I'm within the group, I want it to be slid out, even as I'm moving up and down over the buttons. Does that make sense? Should I be handling different messages besides mouseEnter and mouseLeave? A mouseWithin perhaps? I'm kind of stuck. Can someone help? Thanks, Chris Sheffield Read Naturally P.S. Here's my group's script: on mouseEnter if ButtonBar is in the name of the target then move me to 580,241 end if end mouseEnter on mouseLeave if ButtonBar is in the name of the target then move me to 668,241 end if end mouseLeave ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Problems with resource mages
Hello folks, I've built a simple test stack where I imported a dozen images fom a folder directly into the stack as resources. Then I added a blank graphic object for use as a container to display the images in. Next step was to add a text field (named search) in order to enter the name of an image I'd like to display, along with a second field (named ext) to hold the file extension for the image. Finally, I added a button to click, which holds my script. I have no problems displaying images into my container using either a local file or URL location, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to display an image directly from within the stack file itself. on mouseUp put field search field ext into tGraphic set the imageSource of Image to tGraphic end mouseUp When I run the script above, the debugger clearly shows that the filename of the image is being built correctly, so I assume that my problem is related to getting the correct resource ID of the image. Can anyone point out were I'm going wrong? Thanks, -Doc- ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

The variable just holds the data that you put into it. If you put the text of a field into gVariable (like in your first example above) and then try to assign the unicodeText of another field to the variable will you get junk in the field since it is the same as saying set the unicodeText of fld field to text of field unicodeStuff Just remember that it is the field that has different ways to access the text in the field (text, htmlText, unicodeText, rtf). Your variable is just holding whatever you initially put into it. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Multimedia [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
