AltBrowser Question
I hope that any AltBrowser users can help me with this question. I am trying to set the htmltext of AltBrowser to use: 1) Another field’s contents (using XBrowser_Set “htmltext”, pStr) 2) A local file’s contents (using XBrowser_Set “url”, pLocalURL) Somehow, I am unable to get my examples working (I have read the documentation several times and did not see this feature in the demo stack). It’s probably a simple mistake I’m making, but I’ve been scratching my head for several hours, would anyone be able to point me in the right direction with a working example please? Thanks!

Re: text fields don't focusIn
but it should see openfield and closefield messages As "list-behaviour" fld should function much like a button. I am not familiar with all the variations and objects, but I think if you look at some of the detail work the Chipp Walters has done in the area of UI there will be some great examples and 'bug' workarounds. Hope you find your answers. Most likely it will be someone on the list who really know.

Re: text fields don't focusIn
I don't think it's a mesage passing issue, because a list field in the same stack works just fine with focusIn/focusOut. It's just this text field. I was hoping someone would say that text fields handle focus differently, but I guess not.

Try opening Message Watcher in the Development menu to see what it reports as you click, type, etc. Also put the following in script containers to trap-show-and-pass on focusIn put "FIELD script hit" & cr & msg pass focusIn end focusIn on focusIn put " CARD script hit" & cr & msg pass focusIn end focusIn on focusIn put " STACK script hit" & cr & msg pass focusIn end focusIn The point is that you need to see what is happening with the keyboard, the field script container, the focus, and the exact order of the messages. This is part of the rich fabric of UI (user interface) management, so you need to build things carefully. Be sure to PASS messages that need to travel all the way to the engine to make things happen/change. Hope this helps.

libURLftpUploadFile insanity
This one should be simple and it's driving me insane!

QT jerkiness
Thanks Trevor, Your suggestion immediately corrected the problem of jerkiness to QTVR motion. The only small change I needed to make in the script is to use "idleRate" rather than "QTidleRate" since rev 2.7.1, which I am using, does not appear to have a global property for "QTidleRate" and gives an error message when that form is used. Is "QTidleRate" perhaps found in 2.7.2? Thanks very much.

Re: Slightly OT : forums
It would be hard to rival the simplicity of using phpBB. Most cPanel-based hosting providers enable you to click a couple buttons and have the forum up and running in less than 5 minutes. Plus, phpBB has a deep feature set, dozens of plug-ins for extra features, and an active support community. Customizing them often means learning a little PHP though. There are many options besides phpBB. (Everyone has their favorite forum software.) It might be more fun/rewarding to build your own forum software using the Rev CGI though :) "jbv" wrote: > One of clients (for whom I've already made a rather complex > website based on Rev cgi) wants a tool to set up and administrate > forums... > Having little experience in that field, I was wondering if it's worth > building something from scratch around Rev, or if it would simpler > to install some existing solution (probably open source)... ___ 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

Hi Phil, In our household, the only use for PCs is running games, so we have installed Bootcamp on my 20" Intel iMac. It was easy to set up and runs really fast with great graphics. From what I have read, Parallels is good because it doesn't require a restart to switch OS, but it doesn't have the performance for gaming.

Shouldnt you be able to make standlanones with this engine like you can with a studio license like all the other current platforms (the article stated you required an enterprise license, but maybe thats only for the beta?) the thing that i would really love to see with rev is downsizing to the pocket PC market where i could really fun things to do with rev...

Re: Slightly OT : forums
Forums can be one of the most complex kind of dynamic content, or very simple, it all depends on what your client wants. Registering and administering user accounts can be very complex in itself, and having "spam secure" login is something i don't even want to think about. On the other side hacking something together to show user entered content is rather simple, once you have thought about how to store your forum posts. Formatting and customising the way your forum looks is somewhat of a stamina thing, but in principle easy too in my opinion. As for a free, existing forum, i suggest you look at SMF www.simplemachines.org or phpBB www.phpbb.com (which RunRev uses as forum). greetings Bjoernke On Jun 24 2006, at 17:52, jbv wrote: Hi list, One of clients (for whom I've already made a rather complex website based on Rev cgi) wants a tool to set up and administrate forums...

Menubar Problems
Greetings All, I am writing a stack in which I want a different menubar for each of the two cards in the stack. One of my menubars works OK. However, the second one won't display all of the items. (i.e. in the "File" button" it shows only the first three menu items; same for "Edit" etc.) These display correctly in Windows XP, but not under a Mac OS X. Also, when I use windows, the third menu btn is overwritten with a "Help" button. In my menubar, the third button is "Controls." Under Windows, that button appears as "Help ols". The button works OK, but I can't get it to display correctly. Can anyone shed light on these problems?
