Re: Export img from a stack

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonjour Yves,

local tDefaultFolder, tResult
-
answer folder "Choose a destination folder:"
if it = empty then exit to top
put the defaultFolder into tDefaultFolder
set the defaultFolder to it
export image ID 2016 to file "RescuedImg.png" as PNG
put the result into tResult
set the defaultFolder to tDefaultFolder
if tResult = empty then put "Done" else put tResult

To be more efficient you could write a more generic handler :-)

Well, yes it does work, except that in this context, "delete" just
deletes the stack from memory, not from the hard disk.

You must be extremely careful to use this only on a mainStack. If you
delete a substack, it is really gone - deleted from the stack file -
but deleting a mainStack just removes it from memory.

However in answer to the original question, either "close this stack"
or "quit" should do fine. I often have a quit routine that checks
whether I am in the IDE or running as an app and either saves & closes
the stack if in the IDE, or quits if in an app.

Cheers,
Sarah

You got the right response from Phil and Judy, but I'd also like to make you
aware of "the cardnames of ", which will give you a
return-delimited list of the short names of each card, in order that they
appear in the stack. This can be really useful, and of course you can also
get "the number of lines" of the cardnames as an alternative to "the number
of cards" if you want.

  put the cardNames of this stack

  put the number of lines of (the cardNames of this stack)

(of course, I'd use "number of cards" or even "num of cds" because it's
shorter, but just giving you other options...)

I don't think you want to *delete* your stack, just close it, right?

close stack "Main"

Terry Judd wrote:

Chipp, does altFont work even if the end user doesn't have administrator

TIA Terry...


Well, Terry that's a loaded question with a lot of variables. The Demo 
stack downloads and installs the altFont.dll (Windows) or altFont.bundle 
(Mac) in the same folder as Revolution. If you don't have administrator 
rights, then I suppose that might fail on the PC as typcially the Rev 
folder is in the Program Files area. Of course, someone would have had 
to already had administrator rights to install Rev in the first place, 
so I doubt that's much of a problem.


If you build a standalone application, you'll need to ship the altFont 
external with it. Where it is stored is up to the user, but once saved 
to a folder, there should be no other admin issues.


Regarding the actual loading of fonts, I don't think there are any 
problems at all on either platform. The fonts are not copied to any 
folder like the Windows/Font folder or the font folder on the Mac, they 
are just instantiated via an API call on the computer. I would be very 
surprised if there are any admin conflicts for this API call. I couldn't 
find any documentation about them.

Chipp, does altFont work even if the end user doesn't have

TIA Terry...

Hey folks, we're finally starting to get caught up and releasing some 
of our 2006 tools. The first is altFont external. There's a real nice 
website at:


http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/altFontCover/default.htm

which explains it all. We've got special introductory pricing on this 
one, so if you want it, grab it now.


Partial Quote from the website:
"Embed your own custom fonts inside your application! Altuit's altFont 
externals work seamlessly to allow you to load and unload TrueType 
fonts at will from within Revolution. When loaded, these fonts are 
available to your Revolution standalone to use in any manner you like.


Now, for the first time, both Mac OSX and WinXP users can ship 
applications with custom TrueType fonts already installed!"


Full Quote from Scott Rossi:
"I just started using altFont and so far it is the answer to a long 
held
wish: to use my own fonts in projects without worrying about what's 
already loaded on the system."


Anyway, if you can stand all the huckstering, please check it out!

best,

Chipp

Thanks to everybody for your suggestions. I've tested them all now,
Jacque's customSort and Jim's filter method take very similar times
but the quickest is Trevor's suggestion of making an extra hidden
column with the rating as a number so it can be sorted directly.

Thanks, Sarah.  That's a start anyway.  I'll check it out.

I had to do this recently and I used Klaus Major's "Analyze it.." tool

differences.

The tool is available as part of Klaus's 2lz2 package on his web site

Glad to be of help, but I'm still a bit confusified over here. If
you're just testing for a registry setting, shouldn't you be using
queryRegistry() instead?

That being said, we currently do have a couple of externals for Linux

Re: [ANN] New External Released from Altuit

[Chipp Walters]

Thanks Malte,

While we are interested in supporting Linux, and have a few Linux 
projects in the works, it doesn't appear there's much demand for Linux 
externals. Up to now, we've only sold 2 copies of altSQLite for Linux. 
So, we'll add support Linux as we need it for our own projects, then 
gladly release products as we generate them.

differencing tools - slightly OT

Does anyone have a good diff tool you use while working with Rev  
stack files?  I'm looking for something that'll let me compare two

together.  It has to work with binary files, since the stacks will  
have more than just the scripts changed.

Hi Steve,

Re: nested ifs

[Rob Cozens]

Hi Chipp,


I like to do the following:

if tResult is "Error" then
  answer "Go Ahead anyway" with "Cancel" or "OK"
  if it is "Cancel" then exit to top
end if

Most of the time it compiles, but sometimes the single line if 
statement in the middle throws and error and won't compile


I, like others, have encountered such errors; however in my case it 
is _always_ caused by an imbalance of "ifs" & "end ifs" in my 
handler, not the compiler having an off day.


A one-line if ("if" a = b then doSomething2") placed _immediately_ 
before an "else" that applies to a different "if" (in this example, 
"if x> y then") will cause the compiler to choke.


Drawing on Brian's example, but scripted as I might

If x > y then
doSomething1
if a = b then doSomething2
else doSomething3

fails; but

If x > y then
doSomething1
if a = b then
   doSomething2
 end if
else doSomething3

and

If x > y then
doSomething1
if a = b then doSomething2
doSomethingElse -- whether or not a = b
else doSomething3

both will compile.

File/Picture Chooser Widgets for Windows XP/2000 - Stable or still Beta?

[Bob Warren]

Dear Windows XP/2000 Users,

When I offered Test Pack #2 of these Widgets to the community a little 
while back, I soon discovered that although the widgets worked perfectly 
on my own machines, some users had trouble during program 
initialization, and certain alterable parameters (such as the size and 
position of the widgets) were not actioned correctly.


In an attempt to diagnose the cause of the problem, I passed a copy of 
the file chooser widget stack to a member of the community having this 
trouble, but unfortunately I have so far not received any kind of 
further feedback.


However, I think I know what the cause of this problem might have been, 
but of course I need to be absolutely sure, so I am counting on your 
help once again to do a quick test for me on your machines. If no 
further trouble is reported, then I can pass the widgets from "beta" to 
"stable" status, and you can safely use the widgets in your applications 
if you wish.


Test Pack #4 is available at http://www.howsoft.com/runrev/stacks.htm .
IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE WHO HAD TROUBLE ON THE FIRST OCCASION, please 
try this new version. If there are any problems, either send me a bug 
report using the PHP form on this very page (see "Report a BUG" on the 
left hand side), or if you prefer please communicate with me directly at 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .


Thanks very much.

Regards,
Bob

Just to let you all know that there have been some problems in 2 sites in the

more knowledgeable than me mentioned what it was. Various places have had
problems getting to sites that I could reach from Sunny Scotland and vice

Re: [ANN] New External Released from Altuit

[Klaus Major]

Hi Chipp,

Hey folks, we're finally starting to get caught up and releasing  
some of our 2006 tools. The first is altFont external. There's a  
real nice website at:


http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/altFontCover/default.htm

which explains it all. We've got special introductory pricing on  
this one, so if you want it, grab it now.


Partial Quote from the website:
"Embed your own custom fonts inside your application! Altuit's  
altFont externals work seamlessly to allow you to load and unload  
TrueType fonts at will from within Revolution. When loaded, these  
fonts are available to your Revolution standalone to use in any  
manner you like.


Now, for the first time, both Mac OSX and WinXP users can ship  
applications with custom TrueType fonts already installed!"


Full Quote from Scott Rossi:
"I just started using altFont and so far it is the answer to a long  
held
wish: to use my own fonts in projects without worrying about what's  
already loaded on the system."


Anyway, if you can stand all the huckstering, please check it out!


way cool!

Although i do not need (and actually can't afford) it in the moment,  
i'm sure gonna buy it :-)



best,

Chipp


Keep on the very good work!

Eric's solution is the way to go, but just so you know the syntax you were
looking for:

put field "Timeneed" + field "Effort" + field [etc..] into field "Total"

Re: nested ifs

[Dennis Brown]

I have resolved to make all my If statements to only 3 forms for  
consistency:


IF condition THEN statement ELSE statement

IF condition
THEN statement
ELSE statement

IF condition
THEN
statements
ELSE
statements
END IF

Now if I could just get the complier to resolve only from these  
choices, my nested ifs would always work.


The problem is that the compiler allows too many forms, and mixing of  
forms.
The compiler does not prioritize by form type which can lead to not  
always accepting a valid form.


Example 1 below is a valid form.
Example 2 would be mixing two forms in the same if statement.
It is not a valid interpretation in any case without adding another  
end if.

Therefore, the compiler should pick example 1

If the compiler treated lines like parens for ifs, then it could also  
do a better job resolving these correctly.

Consider that the following snippet is actually ambiguous. Notice

Well, that's my theory anyway - you can't actually determine which  
"if" matches matches which "else" and  "end if".


1)
If x > y then
doSomething1
if a = be then doSomething2 ##problem here
else
doSomethng3
end if

2)
If x > y then
doSomething1
if a = be then doSomething2 ##problem here
else
doSomethng3
end if

[ANN] New External Released from Altuit

[Chipp Walters]

Hey folks, we're finally starting to get caught up and releasing some of 
our 2006 tools. The first is altFont external. There's a real nice 
website at:


http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/altFontCover/default.htm

which explains it all. We've got special introductory pricing on this 
one, so if you want it, grab it now.


Partial Quote from the website:
"Embed your own custom fonts inside your application! Altuit's altFont 
externals work seamlessly to allow you to load and unload TrueType fonts 
at will from within Revolution. When loaded, these fonts are available 
to your Revolution standalone to use in any manner you like.


Now, for the first time, both Mac OSX and WinXP users can ship 
applications with custom TrueType fonts already installed!"


Full Quote from Scott Rossi:
"I just started using altFont and so far it is the answer to a long held
wish: to use my own fonts in projects without worrying about what's 
already loaded on the system."


Anyway, if you can stand all the huckstering, please check it out!

best,

Chipp

Update:
Actually, if I don't include the time it takes my example script to build
the 700+ lines, the filtering only takes 

one tick!  ... that's right, Rev can do all that filtering and variable
assignment in less than 2 ticks.

Sorta makes you want to build some useful software that relies heavily on
the filter command, eh?

Hi Sarah,

I am up for another half hour or so (until 8 pm thur your time)  Let me know
if this technique is workable.
Did you make any progress on your challenge?
My guess is that the regEx is a bit slow for your use, now that I know you
are doing 700 lines with 700 hits or more.

Seems like you are sorting into categories (1-5) and that doing something
like the following my work:

My elapsed time is 3 ticks and the result is a midpoint  of having six
variables each containing the same 'star.png' html string.  Should be easy
to sort and combine these how you need it.
 

on testt
  put the ticks into startt
  --building the 700+ lines to work with below
  repeat until the number of lines in wholeThang > 700
put cr&"" after of
wholeThang
put cr&"" after of
wholeThang
put cr&"" after of
wholeThang
put cr&"" after of
wholeThang
  end repeat
  
  --parsing to get 6 groups then doing a count
  put wholeThang into grp5
  filter grp5 with "*star*star*star*star*star*"  -- 5
  filter wholeThang without "*star*star*star*star*star*"
  put wholeThang into grp4
  filter grp4 with "*star*star*star*star*"  -- 4
  filter wholeThang without "*star*star*star*star*"
  put wholeThang into grp3
  filter grp3 with "*star*star*star*"  -- 3
  filter wholeThang without "*star*star*star*"
  put wholeThang into grp2
  filter grp2 with "*star*star*"  -- 2
  filter wholeThang without "*star*star*"
  put wholeThang into grp1
  filter grp1 with "*star*"  -- 1
  filter wholeThang without "*star*"
  put wholeThang into grp0
  
  repeat with x = 0 to 5
do "get the number of lines in grp"&x
put ( it & " ["&x&"]" & cr) after output
  end repeat
  answer output &cr & (the ticks - startt) & " ticks elapsed"
  breakpoint
end testt

Table Modification

[Geoff Canyon]

Bill Vlahos and I were having dinner when the subject of tables came  
up. We agreed that it would be nice to have a way to limit the number  
of columns in the Rev table object. Between finishing the food and  
paying the check we hacked this together. It's not the most elegant  
solution, but it seems to work.


First, note that this involves hacking the Revolution frontscript  
that controls tables, so take that as a caution. I take no  
responsibility if this causes damage. Make a backup of the  
development environment before trying this. Don't work on any of your  
critical projects until you're confident this is working correctly.  
Wear a grounding strap while performing this procedure. Remember to  
wear something warm, and pack a lunch.


1. Open the message box.
2. Click on the frontscripts button
3. If it isn't already, check "Show Revolution UI Frontscripts"
4. Click revTable.
5. Click the Edit Script button.
6. In the script, locate the revMoveCellRight handler.
7. Insert the following code at the beginning of the handler:

  if the cREVTable["maxColumnCount"] of lObject is a number \
  and the cREVTable["currentxcell"] of lObject \
  >= the cREVTable["maxColumnCount"] of lObject then
lock screen
repeat the cREVTable["currentxcell"] of lObject - 1
  revMoveCellLeft
end repeat
revMoveCellDown
unlock screen
exit revMoveCellRight
  end if

It should look like this when you're done:

on revMoveCellRight
  if the cREVTable["maxColumnCount"] of lObject is a number \
  and the cREVTable["currentxcell"] of lObject \
  >= the cREVTable["maxColumnCount"] of lObject then
lock screen
repeat the cREVTable["currentxcell"] of lObject - 1
  revMoveCellLeft
end repeat
revMoveCellDown
unlock screen
exit revMoveCellRight
  end if
  lock screen

etc.

8. Locate the revCalculateCellLoc handler.
9. Insert the following code before the last two lines of the handler:

  if the cREVTable["maxColumnCount"] of pObject is a number then
put min(the cREVTable["maxColumnCount"] of pObject,txcount) into  
txcount

  end if

It should look like this when you're done:

end repeat
  end if

   if the cREVTable["maxColumnCount"] of pObject is a number then
put min(the cREVTable["maxColumnCount"] of pObject,txcount) into  
txcount

  end if
  set the cREVTable["currentxcell"] of pObject to txcount
  set the cREVTable["currentycell"] of pObject to tycount
end revCalculateCellLoc

10. Save and close the script and you're ready to try it out.
11. Drag a table object onto a card. It should behave  
indistinguishably from other tables.
12. If you haven't already, check the Revolution UI Elements in Lists  
menu item.

13. Open the custom properties panel for the table.
14. Select cREVTable on the menu set dropdown.
15. Click the New Custom Property button.
16. Name the custom property "maxColumnCount"
17. Set the new custom property to whatever number of columns you like.
18. Close the properties dialog, and you're set.

You should notice two difference in the table. First, if you tab or  
arrow key to the right, when you reach the specified number of  
columns, the entry field will wrap back to the left, one row lower.  
Second, if you click anywhere on the table to the right of its  
maximum column, you should see the entry field appear over the  
rightmost valid entry.


Note that these effects only take place if you set the maxColumnCount  
property in the cRevTable property set. If it is empty, nothing happens.


To make your changes permanent, save the revLibrary stack. This in  
the message box will do the trick:


  save stack "revLibrary"

That's it! You'll have to make the changes again after upgrading to a  
new version of the environment.


regards,

Geoff

Re: Stack to Flash

[Pierre Sahores]

Hi Takaaki,

Perhaps could you try to bind Rev and the ActionScript2 compiler  
 together to build a framework dedicated to  
this task. I had this in mind for months but no time to gohead with  
the work to do ;-!


Best,

Wouldn't it be great if we could convert stacks (RR projects)
into Flash movies? Flash supports buttons and fields,
and the file format of Flash is open I believe. So I guess
it's not an infinitely difficult task. What do you say?

I wrote SuperCard's Phoneme Editor under contract with Allegiant -- glad 
you found it useful.


As a Mac-only tool, SuperCard can rely on Mac-specific features to a 
degree that is difficult to do in Rev without annoying someone.  If they 
put too much into something for one platform, folks using another wonder 
why their pet feature isn't there.


With TTS, Rev currently implements that as an external, one which 
attempts to provide a useful common interface for the TTS engines on Mac 
and Windows.  But under the hood the two APIs are quite different, so 
it's a bit of a "lowest common denominator" implementation.  While Mac 
OS provides a relatively straightforward way to output textual phoneme 
descriptions rather than audio, I'm not sure the Win API does that at 
all, and if they do I'm somewhat confident it's different enough to be 
some work to add that.


Short form:  Phoneme support isn't in there yet, but I agree it can be 
very helpful for those who use Rev's TTS external, certainly worth 
submitting an enhancement request to Bugzilla for it:



On balance, however, I'll warn you in advance:  the number of people who 
use TTS in Rev-based apps is relatively small, so I wouldn't hold your 
breath for expansion of its capabilities just yet.


Maybe someone on this list with a good head for writing Mac externals 
and some time on his hands could whip up a solution in the meantime?
