problems displaying descenders
Hi. I have a stack that displays text in a field so that students can read it. However, if the I set the textSize of this field to a largish number, such as 80, 100, 120 (so it's big enough for a classroom of students to see), then _as I type_ the descenders of characters such as j and g are chopped off, until I finish typing. What setting will allow me to display the descenders as I type? I've tried adjusting the textHeight and margins, but neither seems to do anything. Thanks. rand valentine ___ 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
Command Reference
Hiya, Is there anywhere a hierarchical Transcript reference? I was hoping to copy it out of the user guide, but there is no reference there. I suppose the Scripters Handbook is an option but I can't afford that. I have downloaded the revdocsPDF from the their site and had a look at the Vocabulary Listing, but this is for Rev 2.12. It's be nice to have a tree/hierarchical reference with the commands grouped into functionality and maybe colour coded to indicate platform compatibility. I was thinking of maybe doing this via Rev, but I don't see where I can get it to 'inspect itself' (hmm, unless the inbuilt Documentation is also a stack...). Anyroad, I just like quick references which give an overview of the language and its structure (prevents having to guess at which commands are available in the Dictionary for one!).

Re: Re: Re: Is it possible to limit text input in a field based upon its height?
Hi there, I just tested the suggested code and it works. What if I want to limit text input based upon its height and width? I just thought to replace the word 'height' with 'width' and put in extra code but that doesn't work: if (the formattedHeight of field tekst the height of field tekst) then pass keyDown if (the formattedWidth of field tekst the width of field tekst) then pass keyDown Any suggestions? William 2006/9/18, William de Smet [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi there, Thanks for your replies. The suggestion Sarah gave works fine with text entries. I also use pasted text and Kay C Lan's code might work but I didn't test it yet. William de Smet 2006/9/18, Kay C Lan [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Good responses for data as you type, but something else would be needed for pasted data. In such a case I generally force the use of monospace fonts, I can then quickly determine exactly how many characters can fit into the field: if (the number of chars of the clipboardData[Text] 543) then put char 1 to 543 of the clipboard[Text] into field fixed size answer Too much data end if If monospace fonts are not your thing then repeat until the formattedHeight of field fixed size = the height of field fixed size delete char -1 of field fixed size end repeat Obviously these scripts would need to be appropriately placed, either before or after the actual 'paste' command in the Edit button script of the Menubar group, along with a check that the 'focus' was on the appropriate field. Also, these may not work for keyboard shortcuts inside the IDE, but I'm led to believe that as a standalone they should.

The next version of the Scripter's Scrapbook has a tree view index option for just that purpose (except you can also choose a tree by multiple combinations of language, platform and functionality for whatever hierarchical display takes your fancy). It will also sport a fully-featured API so you can 'script your own Scrapbook' as well as cross-platform IAC (inter application communications) so you have remote control over your Scrapbook when working in another program.

Hi Alvaro, You could consider using a password for your computer or a lock on the door of your office. You could also use the encryption features of your operating system. If this is related to Revolution, maybe you want to tell more about your project and let us know why security is so important. Then we can help you to decide on what are the best safety measures. Revolution Enterprise has nice encryption features and you can also easily make a simple encryption function yourself. Read the docs about the encrypt command. You could also consider keeping data in your stack and protecting your stacks with a password.

You can made a simple MAC function with the MD5() function. The MD5 () function does not require the Revolution encryption capability, it comes with any release. You need to have a secret string that is hidden in your script or hidden in the user key (serial number). Your MAC function can take the string to be tested and the secret code and return the base64Encode() of the MD5() of the concatenation of the two strings. From that make a function got generate file data from inside data by adding a line with the MAC. Also make a function that checks the MAC at the end of a file. Use those to check that the data has not been modified. If you also want to hide the data, you need to also (on the outside of all that) encrypt it. That is easiest with the Revolution encryption library, but you can use command line tools or make a simple hiding function using the MD5() function. If you do not think people will spend more than a few seconds on trying to read it, you can even make a simple function like the classic rot13 function.

XML memory useage
Hi all reading a 28MB XML file and creating a tree takes more than 90 seconds causes my 'commit charge' on XP to go up by more than 400 MB. Does this sound normal to you ? On my laptop with 512MB RAM, unsurprisingly everything turns to treacle after this. After issuing a revdeleteXMLtree, the commit charge doesn't go down either which doesn't seem right. If I need to be able to access information from anywhere in the whole tree is there a faster way, eg accessing from disk on the fly ? regards Martin ___ 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: attaching metadata to a single character
Thanks for the linktext idea... On Sep 21, 2006, at 11:49 AM, Mark Schonewille wrote: Josh, Attaching data to a character that can very easily be deleted by the user sounds like a very bad idea. Don't do it. I'd re-think my interface and if you tell more about the purpose of this feature, I'll gladly help. Great point. I will trap all possible delete keystrokes and if they are about to delete a metadata character, they will get an alert. I can't think of another way to break up a large block of text into individual passages Best, Mark -- Economy-x-Talk Consultancy and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Get your store on-line within minutes with Salery Web Store software.

I am trying to figure out the best way to attach metadata to this character. The first thing I thought of is that I could alter the color of the character, that would give me three data values up to 255 each (which would probably be enough, but might look weird). I could use the blue value to point to a separate numbered group of data with multiple fields, for example, but this complicates the overall scheme, perhaps needlessly. I can't use the position of the character or the order of the delimiters as an absolute, because the user will be typing and deleting in the field, copying and pasting sections of the text, so each \ character will be moved around quite a bit, but I need it to retain special info. I need the character to be visible so the user doesn't accidentally highlight a section, cut it and paste it elsewhere without grabbing the \ character. I might go the direction of experimenting with the htmlText of the field, to see if I can put custom tags in without affecting the display, and see if the tags care copied and pasted properly... but I'm not sure what dangers might arise if I mess with the htmlText too much. I need something like custom properties of a single character...

Audio question
Is it possible to tell a player which speaker to play out of? If I wanted certain sounds to come out of certain speakers, can this be done? If so, how?

Re: attaching metadata to a single character
Ken, Remind me to put sunglasses on before opening the next email with your name on it! I tested: text: This is a \ really cool solution! htmlText: pThis is a a name=Howdy!\/a really cool solution!/p Then, I cut and pasted some text in the field: text: \ really cool solution! This is a htmlText: pa name=Howdy!\/a really cool solution! This is a/p The tags stayed glued around the character! Even when I copied just the character by itself. Now, as long as there is not a small limit on the length of a name= tags I'm in business! (Now, to figure out how to set the tags...) Thanks again Ken! This could work... Since the character must be visible, the tags must be copied if the user copies and pastes within the field... but it seems like the tags would copy and paste with the text.

It turns out you can use the a name=''/a property in HTML which sticks around and doesn't affect screen display. Consider: put pThis is a a name= quote Howdy! quote Test/ ap \ into temp set the htmlText of fld 1 to temp -- You see This is a Test in the field put the htmlText of fld 1 -- You see: pThis is a name=Howdy!Test/a/p Will this do what you're looking for?

Re: Command Reference
On 9/22/06, Luis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Not sure of it now!... I'm still not up on XML. Here's something you might like to try before going down that path. First, I'm sure you are aware that you can sort the columns of the Rev Doc - Dictionary. When you initially open the Dictionary it has all the keywords listed alphabetically. If you click on Type it will sort them all by Type - keeping the keywords in alphabetical order. Clicking on 'Type' again will reverse the order. Unfortunately this doesn't work for the Platforms column, I'm not sure what the problem is there, but one thing that will be a problem if you go down this path is for some reason there are occasional instances of commas appearing between the little icons. What you may not know is that if you use Cntrl Click (on a Mac) on the column headers you can add or delete columns - Synonyms is a handy one. So you can go ahead and set up the columns that are of interest and then sort them in the desired order. Type this into the message box: put field data of stack revDocs You will end up with the total contents in the order you wanted. Unfortunately, if Platform is important to you, this column will be left blank. To get around this, type this in the message box: put htmlText of field data of stack revDocs You will end up with the same data but with an abundant sprinkling of html tags. On the Mac I'd suggest the free TextWrangler from BareBones to clean this up. A quick find and replace: img src=210063 is the MacOS icon img src=210062 is the OSX icon img src=210061 is the Windows icon img src=210060 is the Linux icon I've just discovered that these number are also used, which I guess is why the sorting by platform is incorrect, but once 'replaced' you should be able to do your own platform sort once you also removed some of the extraneous commas that appear in this column. img src=204117 is the MacOS icon img src=204123 is the OSX icon img src=204121 is the Windows icon img src=204119 is the Linux icon From there is should be pretty simple to clean out the rest of the html tags. With this approach you could create several documents, one all Keywords in alphabetical order, one in Type order, one for buttons only, one for fields only, etc etc; or one document with several chapters, the Keyword chapter, the Type chapter etc etc. I'd save them as pdf to take advantage of the search facility. Unfortunately I can't see how you'd get all the maths, text, graphic related functions together, alas we lost that ability when we moved to the 2.7.x doc format.

RFID
Hi All, Has anyone done any work with RFID tags: programming them, reading them etc. We want to set up inventory control for a product we make and it sounds like RFID would be perfect, but I don't know much about it yet. If anyone has any experience in implementing such a system, preferably using Revolution, please could you contact me off-list.
