Re: Buggy debugger?
Hello, There is another case where the debugger does not work: when the stack name begin with rev.

Landman Gay a écrit : On 7/11/05 8:34 PM, Timothy Miller wrote: The details of my debugger frustration, previously described: It works fine on, for example, a simple mouseUp script in a simple button.

Script debug mode is definitely turned on. Step Into, etc., are absent and/or dimmed out, typically. Sometimes, I can see the script window open, several windows back, but I can't get to it until the script is done executing. I've tried setting multiple breakpoints in each handler, tried setting breakpoints by script. The script rolls right past them. I think Eric mentioned this after you wrote last time, but the debugger doesn't track send to messages.

Re: pause, rew and forwad an audio
Here is a handler that rewinds a player 10 seconds when a button is clicked. Call this repeatedly and periodically and you would get some sort of rewind effect on mouseUp local t put the currentTime of player myPlayer into t subtract (10 * the timeScale of player myPlayer) from t set the currentTime of player myPlayer to t end mouseUp :) Jon Dan Shafer wrote: Assuming you are using a QuickTime Player object to do this work, you can use the following properties to control pause and loudness: set the playLoudness of player foo to 0 set the paused of player foo to true (and false to un-pause) However, Rev does not include any commands to place the playback head where you want it. Trevor DeVore of Mango Multimedia, who hangs out here, wrote an external for Rev to provide better interaction with QT movies but a quick perusal of the version I have doesn't include implementation of rewind or fast forward (i.e., frame-specific positioning) as far as I can tell.

Re: pause, rew and forwad an audio
G. Well, first of all I didn't easily find playRate when I was searching for info for my first response. I realize what I did; I did a Filter on Objects for the word player rather than searching objects for the word player. Now, I've gotten into that habit because: (a) searching is too slow; and (b) it brings up way more than I want to know. The old docs had a much more useful feature that somehow got left out in the upgrade to the new design (which I do like in many ways). It is still described in the present docs but no longer accurate: To see a list of messages that can be sent to a player as a result of user actions or internal Revolution events, open the Transcript Language Dictionary page of the main Documentation window, and choose Player Messages from the Show menu at the top. To see a list of all the properties a player can have, choose Player Properties from the Show menu. I miss that. On Jul 11, 2005, at 10:37 PM, Jeanne A. E.

Please help me, thank you Did you import the clip into the stack? If so, open the Application Browser (Tools menu) and find the imported video clip. Make sure you are using the correct name, including extension if any. Also, the play command doesn't handle various types of compression well. (Klaus Major is the expert in this area.) The QuickTime player object is much better at playing compressed files, especially audio compression.) If you did not import the clip, but are trying to play it as an external file, you must specify the entire file path, like this: play videoClip C:/My folder/My other folder/MENTORS.avi The exception to this is if you have set the defaultFolder property to the folder that contains the video clip file.

Serial communication in Tiger
Hi All, I just ran into a problem that perhaps I can use Rev to solve, but I don't know if I can, or where to start looking, so perhaps one of you can point me in the right direction. I have a robotic glass cutting machine I built 12 years ago. It uses a serial communications port to initially program its internal EPROM. I used a Mac (since deceased) with a serial port and terminal communication software to send two small files to program the machine when I first built it. Now the machine is acting up, and I have replacement chips for it, but I have to program them. I use a Keyspan USB to Serial port device and driver which work with a serial terminal app. I can communicate with all the hardware, but I can't control the app in the way I need to. All I need to do is send a file one character at a time to the device and wait for the echo before sending the next character --piece of cake. Anyone know if I can use Rev to do this?

Script editor - non-existent changes.
One of the things that has annoyed me, on and off, about the script editor is that it will ask me Do you want to apply the changes . [Apply] [ Cancel] [Don't Apply] even when I didn't think I had made any changes. Today, it got annoying enough for me to investigate (rather than just curse under my breath and carry on with what I was trying to do). The revScriptEditor script contains if pTheKey is among the items of 65361,65362,65363,65364,65360 then -- navigation key, arrow, home, end, change selection selectionChanged pass rawKeyUp end if Any other key will set the modified flag, and force the question to be asked when the script editor is closed. So it looks to me as though: 1. regardless of what the comment says, the home key is in the list, so it doesn't set the flag; the end key isn't, so it does set the flag 2. Even unimportant keys will set the flag (e.g. Ctl, Alt, etc.) Am I missing something ? Can ctl or alt affect the content of the script ? is there anything different between home and end keys that would require this to be different ? I can (probably will) just change it and see what happens - but there are too many key combinations to trust any results from simple testing, so if anyone has answers to these questions it might save me some time.

Re: Buggy debugger -- solved?
On 7/11/05 8:34 PM, Timothy Miller wrote: The details of my debugger frustration, previously described: It works fine on, for example, a simple mouseUp script in a simple button. However, if the button sends a message to a handler in a stack script (for instance), which then sends another message to another handler, nested or not, the debugger won't follow along. Script debug mode is definitely turned on. Step Into, etc., are absent and/or dimmed out, typically. Sometimes, I can see the script window open, several windows back, but I can't get to it until the script is done executing. I've tried setting multiple breakpoints in each handler, tried setting breakpoints by script. The script rolls right past them. I think Eric mentioned this after you wrote last time, but the debugger doesn't track send to messages. It tracks everything else, but if you send a handler to another object the debugger won't follow along. Thanks to Eric, Jacque and Mark on this thread. And thanks to Dan, again. First, let me clarify what happens, and what doesn't. The script window opens at the breakpoint, but it does not come to the front, and the script does not pause at the breakpoint. After the script is done executing, I can move the script window to the front, but it does me no good. Oops! I just solved part of the puzzle, but mysteries remain. Feel free to skip to the second row of asterisks if you want. The details lie between the asterisks if anyone is interested. ** the dull details, perhaps now irrelevant, follow: Here's a typical sequence of events. On mouseup get this put that into field theotherthing etc. goForIt -- this is a message sent to the background script. The bg script does receive it, and the script executes fine, but I can't debug it. end mouseup Now, in the background script On goForIt handler1 -- this massages some data, without changing stacks or backgrounds. It terminates, so the script moves onto the next handler in goForIt handler2 -- more of the same handler3 -- this goes to another stack, picks up some data and returns. It also terminates handler4 -- this is a handler that doesn't terminate. The next handler is nested, in other words. Depending on an operator, it calls either handler5 or handler6 end goForIt The command send does not appear anywhere in this sequence. In reaction to the good comments of the good people on this thread, and also in reaction to my desire not to look like a whiner or an idiot, I re-tested. Same results. As follows: If I put the breakpoint in the button, the button script does open, and I can step into through the lines of the button. Once the script gets to the goForIt message, the script executes without pausing, even though the window of the bg script opens. If I put the breakpoint at the beginning of the goForIt handler in the bg script, at the the handler1 message, at the beginning of the handler1 handler, in the middle of the handler1 handler, or all of the above, or do the same with any other handler in this sequence, the same thing happens. The script window opens, but it's not the front window, and the script runs to completion, without pausing. When the script has executed, the script window remains open. After reading the docs again, I realized that I can initiate debugging when the error window opens. So, I deliberately placed an error at various points in the goForIt handler, or in hanlder1, handler2, etc. The debug button on the error window did respond, and took me to the error. The script has paused, the script window opens, but the debugger buttons at the bottom of the script window (step into, etc.) are absent, and the corresponding items in the debug window are dimmed out. The script stalls. All I can do is remove the offending line, save, and run the script again. ** The more productive part starts below: Maybe there's something about background scrips. As I write this, it strikes me that I've put most scripts of this nature in the background script. I just tried a similar kind of button-handler-handler-etc situation, where all the handlers are in the stack script. These seem to debug just fine. Maybe this is why the debugger seems to have worked at some times, not at others. I didn't notice the pattern before. Now I'm going back to the script described above. I'm moving handler1 to the stack script. If I put the breakpoint at hanlder1 in the stack script, I can step into all the way thru handler1. When it terminates, and control reverts to the bg script, I can't debug any further. My hypothesis is -- there is something different about bg scripts -- maybe several things. In a way I hope so. I'm gonna feel really stupid if no one can reproduce this issue at this point. If background scripts are different, what's different about them? I looked through the

With all the talk about forwarding and rewinding video, I thought it might be useful to release a project I created as a proof of concept for video on demand. It could really use a moment with Scott Rossi to make it look good. The code is very short and simple. It was designed to access a QT streaming server. It could easily be modified with a single line change to work with videos locally. If you need any help making changes, I am here to answer your questions.

How can I have a list of songs in there? How did you script the listfield with the play command? I am sure we can quickly change that script to work with players, too Since player objects will always reference a file, you can set the filename of player xyz to Path to sound or video file I want to use the slider to control the song forward and backward and use another slider to make the volume Is there anyway to do that?

Hi Brad, 1. Have a look at the newTool message. 2. Have a look at the resumeStack message. 3. There are many ways to keep images you want to use as icons: both you mentioned may be used. Another one I use often is to put the images on the first card (nevertheless they can be accessed from any card, even in a substack, but it's more handy to know that you follow a rule to locate them easily) without hiding them but just putting them out of the card window (bottomRight at -1,-1 for instance).

Buggy debugger -- solved?
It looks like this thread might die. I hope not. I hope a knowledgeable someone is going to reply. I'd sure appreciate it. I'm depending on you guys. I've searched the docs, learned nothing, and taken all advice offered so far. Where else can I turn? The gist is, the debugger works fine in stack scripts, but I am not able to debug any background script. I'm talking about bg scripts that work perfectly, every time. If I move any background script to the stack script, the debugger works perfectly. I can replicate the problem, every time. If I split a sequence of handlers between a background script and a stack script, I can debug those in the stack, but not those in the background. Is this a bug or a feature? Is it well known? Documented? If so, where? If it's a bug, has it been reported? Has it been fixed? Cheers, Tim On 7/11/05 8:34 PM, Timothy Miller wrote: The details of my debugger frustration, previously described: It works fine on, for example, a simple mouseUp script in a simple button. However, if the button sends a message to a handler in a stack script (for instance), which then sends another message to another handler, nested or not, the debugger won't follow along. Script debug mode is definitely turned on. Step Into, etc., are absent and/or dimmed out, typically. Sometimes, I can see the script window open, several windows back, but I can't get to it until the script is done executing. I've tried setting multiple breakpoints in each handler, tried setting breakpoints by script. The script rolls right past them. I think Eric mentioned this after you wrote last time, but the debugger doesn't track send to messages. It tracks everything else, but if you send a handler to another object the debugger won't follow along. Thanks to Eric, Jacque and Mark on this thread. And thanks to Dan, again. First, let me clarify what happens, and what doesn't. The script window opens at the breakpoint, but it does not come to the front, and the script does not pause at the breakpoint. After the script is done executing, I can move the script window to the front, but it does me no good. Oops! I just solved part of the puzzle, but mysteries remain. Feel free to skip to the second row of asterisks if you want. The details lie between the asterisks if anyone is interested. ** the dull details, perhaps now irrelevant, follow: Here's a typical sequence of events. On mouseup get this put that into field theotherthing etc. goForIt -- this is a message sent to the background script. The bg script does receive it, and the script executes fine, but I can't debug it. end mouseup Now, in the background script On goForIt handler1 -- this massages some data, without changing stacks or backgrounds. It terminates, so the script moves onto the next handler in goForIt handler2 -- more of the same handler3 -- this goes to another stack, picks up some data and returns. It also terminates handler4 -- this is a handler that doesn't terminate. The next handler is nested, in other words. Depending on an operator, it calls either handler5 or handler6 end goForIt The command send does not appear anywhere in this sequence. In reaction to the good comments of the good people on this thread, and also in reaction to my desire not to look like a whiner or an idiot, I re-tested. Same results. As follows: If I put the breakpoint in the button, the button script does open, and I can step into through the lines of the button. Once the script gets to the goForIt message, the script executes without pausing, even though the window of the bg script opens. If I put the breakpoint at the beginning of the goForIt handler in the bg script, at the the handler1 message, at the beginning of the handler1 handler, in the middle of the handler1 handler, or all of the above, or do the same with any other handler in this sequence, the same thing happens. The script window opens, but it's not the front window, and the script runs to completion, without pausing. When the script has executed, the script window remains open. After reading the docs again, I realized that I can initiate debugging when the error window opens. So, I deliberately placed an error at various points in the goForIt handler, or in hanlder1, handler2, etc. The debug button on the error window did respond, and took me to the error. The script has paused, the script window opens, but the debugger buttons at the bottom of the script window (step into, etc.) are absent, and the corresponding items in the debug window are dimmed out. The script stalls. All I can do is remove the offending line, save, and run the script again. ** The more productive part starts below: Maybe there's something about background scrips. As I write this, it strikes me that I've put most scripts of this nature in the background

If you create a new stack with a single shared background you will probably find that it debugs perfectly. I'm afraid these very old HC stacks have their own personalities. If the stack was created with HC 1.0, even worse. :( One test you might try is to create a new mainstack with a new background group. Copy your bg script into the new group. Then see if the debugger works there. Another thing to try: copy your bg script to a word processor. Look for unusual characters. BBEdit is good because it can show you invisibles. Remove everything that isn't strictly ASCII text, then paste the script back into your background and see if it behaves any differently.

But the central point remains: with a small number of criteria the filter command does a fine job compared to repeat loops, but for complex criteria (in my app it's rare that we'll ever have fewer than three distinct comparisons) repeat for each does well. Another advantage of repeat for each is that it allows or in additon to and, which would require multiple passes with filter, and makes it easy to structure comparisons using parentheses to control the order of precedence. For the moment I'm sticking with the repeat loop for the situation I'm currently using it in, but it's good to know that filter is quick for simple searches. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com So may be we have to choose the right method according to the context.

But the central point remains: with a small number of criteria the filter command does a fine job compared to repeat loops, but for complex criteria (in my app it's rare that we'll ever have fewer than three distinct comparisons) repeat for each does well. Another advantage of repeat for each is that it allows or in additon to and, which would require multiple passes with filter, and makes it easy to structure comparisons using parentheses to control the order of precedence. For the moment I'm sticking with the repeat loop for the situation I'm currently using it in, but it's good to know that filter is quick for simple searches. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Buggy debugger -- solved?
Hi Tim, I made some tests in a brand new stack. Works perfectly here. Could be a specific issue in your stack? As usual, when you get a problem, try to isolate it in a new stack. There are so many parameters we often miss ;-) Hi Eric, Thanks very much for the extra effort. I've gotten some back channel messages from Rev experts. Very nice and generous people here. No one thinks it's a bug. Everyone thinks there's something wrong with these stacks. Who am I to disagree? If I started with a brand new stack and failed to replicate the error, I would be no better off than I am now. Meanwhile, I've run out of ideas about how to isolate the problem. I'm inclined to agree with the experts anyway. Probably not a bug. In any case, I can move any script I need to debug to the stack script, temporarily or permanently. I don't even need to do that. I can always debug with the answer command. It's slow, but it always works. My main concern is that other odd behavior will eventually cause new and more serious problems, if I don't find the problem and solve it now. I might try a new bare stack just out of curiosity, though. I'll let the list know. In the interim, can anyone think of some bg, stack or global attribute that might need to be turned on or off? I think I'm going to have to put my Rev consultant back on the payroll to solve this one.

Re: Printing one card on multiple pages
Hershel It's not as easy as it should be. You have two values to deal with. One is the formattedHeight of the field. The other is the height of the field. As explained to me by Chipp Walters as part of my research into printing for my eBook on Basic Printing in Rev: 1. Put the text into the field. 2. If the formattedHeight is equal to or less than the height, you're done. 3. If not, go to the end of the text and start deleting lines or paragraphs or whatever you choose, each time checking formattedHeight against height. 4. When they match or formattedHeight is smaller than the field height, you can lop off the portion that fit into the field, create a new card with that field in a background group, put the remaining text into the field and start over again.

But every question you've asked so far could have been answered by you if you simply took the time to learn the language a bit. This is like me trying to learn to speak Vietnamese (which I'm guessing is your native tongue) by interrupting you every few seconds to ask how do you say this in Vietnamese? without being willing to get some basic language skills and vocabulary first. Please do not think I am criticizing you. And as you have seen, you will get lots of help.

Problem with standalone built with Rev 2.6 ?
This is all on Win XP. I have a stack, and built from it a standalone. When I run this (on any of 3 Win-XP machines), I regularly get a fatal error app name has encountered an error and needs to close (Please send an error report to Microsoft) This usually happens within the first 2 minutes or so - and I've never got more than 5 minutes without crashing. When I build the same app under 2.5 it is (apparently) ok. I say apparently because I've only run it for 10 - 15 minutes; so it's possible that if I keep running it for longer, I'd see problems - but it certainly seems to be fine. (A slightly earlier version of the stack, built under 2.5, has been run for hours - but I have modified the stack slightly since then). This is just a first warning that there might be a problem. I'm going to go off and submit a BZ report on this, and mark it as serious. Is there anything I could, or should, do to help debug it or to find a work-around ? (If anyone would like to build a copy and see if it fails for you, the stacks can be downloaded from www.tweedly.net/RunRev/CribbageGame.zip it decompresses into three stacks - Cribbage.rev is the one to run / build). btw -as a game, it (should) run just fine, but isn't quite ready for announcement in general because the UI is a bit unpolished, and it's still way too easy to beat the computer. -- Alex Tweedly http://www.tweedly.net -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

CGI to send back a file to save
Short version: I need to know the proper HTTP header to set to force a browser to save the incoming data to a file. (at least I *think* that's what I need to know.) Long Scenario: Goal: create a CGI that responds to a GET request that will automatically generate a fooSoundFile.ram file in a variable based on the query string e.g. $QUERY_STRING = audioFile=hawaii_papayas.mp3 then the .ram filename should be hawaii_papayas.ram and contain the string: http://www.himalayanacademy.com/audio/tropical_fruit_music/ hawaii_papayas.mp3 [you should hear those papayas sing!] Now, generating all that is a easy enough. But the usual scenario is that you have all these .ram files prebuilt (which is what I am trying to avoid. Old .ram files lying around the web site are a *big* nuisance to maintain) and the user clicks on a link a href=/audio/tropical_fruit_music/hawaii_papayas.ramReal Player/a and the .ram file is downloaded-saved to the client side disk... Real Player is mapped to .ram in the internet helper apps, boots and reads this file and streams the audio. I want the CGI to take over that process and serve the .ram file dynamically. OK, so all I know how to do is: put http://www.himalayanacademy.com/audio/tropical_fruit_music/ hawaii_papayas.mp3 into tRamFile http://www.himalayanacademy.com/audio/tropical_fruit_music/ hawaii_papayas.mp3 put Content-Type: text/plain cr put Content-Length: the length of tRamFile cr cr put tRamFile of course this is not going to work... that string will appear as a literal in the user's browser. is it as simple as something like: # just guessing.. I haven't a clue... put Content-Type: binary/file cr put Content-Length: the length of tRamFile cr cr put tRamFile # where the browser can't read it, so it saves it ?? i.e. we can of course do a redirect, like this: put http://www.himalayanacademy.com/audio/tropical_fruit_music/ hawaii_papayas.mp3 into tRamFile put tRamFile into url (file: audio/tropical_fruit_music/ hawaii_papayas.ram) put Status: 301 Moved Permanently cr put Location:http://www.himalayanacademy.com/audio/ tropical_fruit_music/hawaii_papayas.ram cr cr But, then I end up once again, with all these .ram files on disk... so I was hoping to find a way to pipe it straight out of the CGI... i.e. to take what is coming back from port 80 and save it instead of trying to render it...maybe this is the wrong place to ask this... I will take it to Experts-Exchange if no one here knows.

Checking this with a dialog in Safari containing one normal button one default, this is what I get: with no mouse-click, default button pulses blue, other button just grey hold down mouse button on default button - pulsing stops hold down mouse button on other button - blue color leaves default button and moves to other button, but does not pulse. In Rev, the blue color does not leave the default button when another button is clicked, and the pulsing does not stop while clicked. Apart from these, OS X seems to allow for almost no feedback itself, so I'm not sure it is really a Rev problem. So the behavior is implemented differently in Rev than in other Aqua programs, confirmed? I'll BZ it...

Re: passing quotes parameters to a 'send' message...

In any other context, the content of a quoted string is not evaluated - Think of it as a 'do' that also specifies the message path location and maybe changes the defaultStack. The statement is executed right up until the actual invocation (the parameters are evaluated by this time), and then there's an optional wait until some time, and then it is dropped into the message path pinball machine.

Re: Window Positioning Bug?
Hey man, couple things you should consider trying. 1) check the windowBoundingRect and set it larger. 2) set the stack's formatForPrinting property to true, this will ignore the windowBoundingRect; be aware of editing any text of a stack who's formatForPrinting prop is true. 3) Don't use a palette, instead copy and paste the image to your topstack 4) Consider using some form of: open inv stack progInd set the topLeft of stack progInd to 1000,1000 show stack progInd best, Chipp Scott Rossi wrote: When I run the following script, I actually see the offscreen-intended window appear every *other* time, in other words a reliable failure that occurs 50% of the time: on showWindow set topLeft of stack progind to 1,1 palette stack progind put windowID of stack progind into tID import snapshot from rect (rect of grc pie of stack progind) of window tID close stack progind choose browse tool end showWindow ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
