Uncomplete Externals SDK Documentation
In the RunRevExternalSDK found at: http://downloads.runrev.com/resources/externals/revexternalssdk.zip many features remain undocumented in the Externals stack and the other files. I know this has been a recurring and annoying problem for many years and that a great step has been made last year in the good direction. RunRev is certainly interested to provide all the details for developers who are willing to benefit from the whole power of the externals. Before filling a bug I would like to get your feedback, did I miss something? Is there an other complete documentation for externals? Some of the callback functions not documented or with wrong documentation: GetImageByID GetImageByNum mc_xtclose mc_xtinit ShowImageById ShowImageByName ShowImageByNum X_close X_init X_main_loop X_set_idle_handler X_set_idle_rate X_set_poll_handler X_set_post_poll_handler X_set_post_xevent_handler X_set_pre_xevent_handler X_set_select_handler In advance thank you.

Re: [ANN] Animated gif for OSX progress
Thanks for the nice 16x16 24-frame animated gif ! I wonder to know if there is a way in Revolution that animated gif are going to be automatically animated during the execution of a script. This is in fact the reason of your new 'chasing arrows' to show the user that a process is currently running and he should be patient. My solution up to now: 1.- open the animated gif in GraphicConverter 2.- save it as a Quicktime Movie, 3.- add a Player named MyAnim onto your card 4.- in message box type : set the filename of player MyAnim to theQuicktimeMovieFilePath set the looping of player MyAnim to true 5.- then a script sample during which the animation is displayed: on doSomeLongProcess show player MyAnim start player MyAnim here you have some long process to run -- -- change as needed... stop player MyAnim hide player MyAnim end doSomeLongProcess 6.- Of course the animation is not displayed if you set the lockscreen to true in your script. Enjoy and tell me if there is a direct solution with animated gif.

Been a while since I've done this - can someone help? From memory there are 1 or 2 things that must be set up for this to work properly: 1. Mime types set up on local machine so that the browser recognises stack as something to be opened by Rev 2. Possibly mime types set on http server - is this only for saving file type during download?

I'd like to post it for my fellow grads in the MS in Instructional Design and Technology program Hi Judy (and anyone else who's interested) -- Here's the online blurb about our session: http://center.uoregon.edu/ISTE/NECC2005/program/search_results_details.php?sessionid=7376008 Basically, each of us got eight minutes to show off our favorite multimedia authoring tool. I touted RunRev; others demonstrated Flash, eZedia, CREATE Together, and Blackspace. There were about 75 people in the audience; most of them were seeking an alternative to HyperStudio in the K-8 classroom. In this environment I didn't get much chance to show off RR's greatest strength: the easy scripting language. I also didn't get much chance to talk about how I use RR in the classroom: as an introductory programming environment. I showed a simple informational stack made with RR, which is what many in the audience will probably want to do or to have their students do. Based on the geography of Europe, the stack included images, label fields that show and hide as the user rolls over parts of the map, info fields and flag images that show up when the user clicks on countries, etc. It also included a quiz that deomonstrated the ease of doing random sorting and using sounds. Very simple stuff, nothing fancy. I snuck in a few glimpses of my students' work -- couldn't resist -- to show some more advanced things RR could create. My curriculum is games-based, so many of my students' projects weren't really relevant in that setting, but they're much cooler than straightforward multimedia projects. The audience seemed appreciative, but perhaps a little dazed by so much information at one time. (They saw similar presentations on five different software packages.) More effective, perhaps, would be a day-long workshop where participants get an hour of hands-on instruction in each multimedia environment. Then they'd really have the background to choose which software to use in their classroom. Using RR as a multimedia tool isn't the focus of what I teach students. Maybe for NECC 2006 I can put together a session on using RR to teach programming, but don't know if the logistics of a San Diego trip is feasible. :-) cheers, - marty -- Marty Billingsley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Changing a stack script on the fly and other stuff
This may seem a little complicated. At least, it does to me :-P. Hopefully my description is understandable. I have a stand alone app that clones a stack so users can change and save information for later retrieval. Much of the scripting is put on the stack level. When the stack is cloned, the scripting is cloned. One of the stack scripts is as follows: on closeStack put the short name of this stack into sName if sName mc then answer Do you want to save this stack? with yes or no if it is yes then save this stack as stack myStack else end if end if end closeStack The first if evaluates if it is the cloned or original stack (I don't want them saving to the original). When the user closes their new stack, it asks them if they want to save the information. This script does exactly what I want it to do. I want the users to be able to repeatedly modify their new stack until they are ready to finalize it so that it cannot be changed. The users finalize the script from a different stack - a control stack. The name of the user-created stacks are put into a field. The user can select the name of the stack they want to finalize and press a Prepare button. Here is the script for that button: global selectTest on mouseUp open card 2 stack selectTest do hideAll do deleteTcard do changeScript end mouseUp Selecting the appropriate stack name loads it into the global selectTest. The unecessary buttons and fields are hidden, and certain cards are removed. The scripts are stack level again. In order to prevent future saving to this stack, I want to comment out the on closeStack portion of the stack script. The do changeScript portion does not comment out the on closeStack of the target card, though. Here is the on changeScript from the control card: on changeScript put the script of this stack into tempScript repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in tempScript if line i of tempScript = on closeStack then put -- before line i of tempScript end repeat set the script of thisStack to tempScript save this stack end changeScript As I said, this part of the script doesn't work. The Revolution documentation has a section entitled How do I change a script at runtime?. There is a section for changing a card script. Can I even do this for a stack script? I don't know if the script I wrote is a viable solution. I also only commented out the on changeScript line. That doesn't save to the target stack, though. Any suggestions?

The television will be Revolutionised! - first coding sprint
Or should that be The revolution will not be Televised? I am excited to announce the first Revolution coding sprint for the new digital television era! I've just put up a wiki page for those of you from the Rev community interested in the project: http://www.ccproducer.org/ctv/wiki/TvRevolution A small group of us are going into the mountains of Austria to prototype and specify a Revolution based framework for digital television production. We will also specify and build a first prototype of a cross-platform Rev based app which takes RSS feeds from podcasts and video blogs (vlogs) in order to play full screen H264 encoded video over the internet (DTV Player). It will be hopefully the first of several similar sprints taking place over the next 3 months resulting an open source distribution for TV workflow based on Revolution and a variety of open source backend services which we are calling - ccProducer. The aim is to have this finished together with the DTV Player by the end of November this year. Should be a good test of Rev's rapid application development.

Re: The television will be Revolutionised! - first coding sprint

Also if you fell confortable with AppleScript you can then script Quartz Composer thus creating a nice presentation full of bells and whistles. beware that you'll not be able to re-encode the vlog feeds in realtime, I don't know what kind of video processing app you're building, if you're aiming at TV Broadcasting, then you don't need H. 264. IF you deliver on the web, well, then you don't need realtime =) good luck cheers andre PS: Ken Ray XML Library makes a good job parsing RSS Feeds, beware of spec war, there are at least 3 RSS specs out there in the wild, also podcast is not standard yet, videocast is also not a standard... also there are ATOM feeds with video links and audio links... irgh!

As people have said, Flash can't have shaped windows in the first place, so this animation is out of consideration. My experience with Flash movies in general is that they happily take up 100% of my 1.2gHx CPU. Recently, Judy Perry wrote: Is it just Flash in general or Macromedia products (specifically, Director) in particular? I've noticed this as well... As far as shaped windows goes, the above is not true. I've believe I've seen at least two 3rd party products that allow you to apply a window mask to a projector (standalone). In terms of processor use, I think it depends on the content. But it's not just Macromedia. Even some of Adobe's products such as Photoshop do things behind the scenes that can bog down your system. This is very irritating given that product in particular is for manipulating images and has nothing to do with video/motion etc. (Due to the past hostility between the two companies, we used to joke that Adobe and Macromedia had CPD's -- Competitive Product Detectors -- written into their software that would cause the system to slow down if they detected any of their competitor's products running simultaneously.)

Re: Changing a stack script on the fly and other stuff
Ken, Thanks for that suggestion. The original script you gave me didn't work (maybe it waasn't supposed to, though), but I did modify it to look for a value in a hidden field [ if sName mc and (field trial card 1 nosave) then ]. Using the control card, I added a line to set the field trial to nosave. That solved the problem. Had it not been for your suggestion, I would have sat here staring blankly at my screen for hours.

ANN: Some routines for Spotlight
Folks, Since I started using MacOS X Tiger, I became very fond of Spotlight since it reminds me of BFS. Spotlight has support for very advanced queries using nested boolean logic and cool metadata filters but those features are not exposed in the normal spotlight ui. To access those functions you need to code your query using Objective-C or use command line tools. By the use of shell() command we can harvest most of the spotlight power by calling commandline tools, the spotlight command line tools start with md (from metadata). More can be learned from the Ars Technica Tiger review at: http:// arstechnica.com/reviews/os/macosx-10.4.ars/9 So, I took some time to create some functions that we can use to harvest those powers and they are below: function mdfind pQuery -- This one find matching files based on a given query. return shell(mdfind pQuery) end mdfind function mdls pQuery -- Returns a chunk with all Metadata info for a given file. return shell(mdls pQuery) end mdls function MetadataToArray pQuery -- Takes the metadata chunk and turns it into an Array. -- This is easier to access than the chunk. -- There are some extra steps to erase extra spaces. local tTempA, tReturnValA put mdls(pQuery) into tTempA split tTempA by cr and = repeat for each line tKey in the keys of tTempA get offset( , tKey) get char 1 to (it - 1) of tKey put tTempA[tKey] into tReturnValA[it] end repeat return tReturnValA end MetadataToArray function mdimport pFile -- forces reindexing on a given file, use it after you change its metadata. -- we all know that the kernel hooks should make this useless but... return shell(mdimport pFile) end mdimport Have fun friends andre ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Rich Interface Examples For FileMaker Folks
Hello Everyone, I am going to be demonstrating Rev to a bunch of FileMaker Pro developers at the FileMaker Developer's Conference and I am looking for some example stacks that would get them fired up. I want to show them something that they can't easily do in FM and really plays to Rev's strengths. So I was thinking of a very rich UI that displayed some data from an ODBC backend in an interesting way. Something like a clickable chart (Pie, Bar, or Gantt) or a weekly calendar. I have a few things I am working on, but I was wondering if anybody had anything that they would be willing to share with me. It can be fairly simple, a clickable Bar chart would do it probably. But the cooler the ui the better. Are there any pie chart examples out there? Or Gant charts? Of course I would be happy to give credit where credit is due. There will be about 1200 attendees at the conference, I don't know how many will show up for my session, but the rooms hold about 2 to 3 hundred people. Any idea's?? Thanks so much Todd -- Todd Geist __ G e i s t i n t e r a c t i v e ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: ANN: Some routines for Spotlight
Yves, I am trying here with accents and special chars... it appears that mdfind returns a mixed string. Like I have this file called çedilha (which is wrong portuguese, but serves right for our experiments). mdfind will return a string using with the ç encoded in what I think is more than two bytes and the rest of the filename in good plain text. So using uniDecode to reduce from twobytes representation will screw the rest of the filename, using uniEncode to put the rest of the string up to two bytes will also not work for it will re-encode the special chars...

[ANN] ReplaceText Bug and STS XML Library
-- IF YOU DON'T USE THE SONS OF THUNDER XML LIBRARY -- YOU CAN IGNORE THIS POST Hey everyone... I'm sorry to shotgun this email, but I know that there are dozens of you who have downloaded the Basic version of my XML Library, and many who have purchased the Standard version, so this is the fastest way to communicate with you all. I have recently logged a bug in Bugzilla (#3074) related to Rev 2.6 (I'm running Build 108) that has a replacetext problem that causes issues with the XML Library (since that's what it's based on). The 'xml_normalize' function in the library strips spaces from a string (leading and trailing spaces) as well as converting space runs to a single space. The command: put replaceText(Thisisatest, *, ) in 2.5.1 would return This is a test. But in 2.6 Build 108, it returns (3 spaces). Apparently it is successful in converting the space runs to a single space, but at the same time deletes all non-space characters from the string. This totally screws up the XML Library since this function is called not only when you pass parameters that say you want the information normalized (which you can get around by passing false for the normalize param), but it is *also* called automatically by xml_storeAttribute and xml_getAttributes - which are called in turn by other XML handlers, including the *main parsing routine*. So unfortunately, you can't use the XML Library with confidence in Rev 2.6 (2.5.1 is fine) until this is fixed. Note that this does NOT affect the revXML DLL, so you may wish to switch to the revXML DLL in the meantime. The reason I'm posting this is because I'm concerned that those of you using the XML Library may be dealing with what you think are bugs in your own program, but which are actually a result of this replaceText bug.
