Re: Graphics problem in 2.7 but not in 2.6
I think this is bug 3695. In the stack I submitted, however, the grc doesn't disappear until there are more than 8196 points...

How to press Enter when there is no such key on my keyboard
Really dumb question: I am working on my laptop in the airport and am testing scripts via the multiple-line message box. However, my laptop has only the Return key (which happens to be labelled 'Enter' but isn't really). Does anyone know how to fool Rev or the Windows OS into receiving an enterkey in this scenario when the keyboard does not actually have one? I worked around it by creating temporary buttons, but am just curious if there is a direct way. ~Mark Powell ___ 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: How to press Enter when there is no such key on my keyboard
Hi Mark, Try ctrl-enter. I have a Dell laptop with a similar keyboard. I found I can press ctrl-enter to close the script editor.

[ANN] AlphaStatus
Howdy List: I recently posted a stack that simulates the alpha character display found on several MP3 player devices, which shows the current character range while scrolling a long list of items. This can be a useful method for quickly jumping to a specific letter range in a list. The script is contained in the card and can be called with a single line of code, so it's suitable for a library implementation if desired. Tested on Windows and Mac, and appears to work as expected. You can get "AlphaStatus" by executing the following in your Rev message box: go url "http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/alphastatus.rev"; Best wishes for the new year.

Re: [ANN] AlphaStatus
Thanks for the kind words. Just for that, I added a minor cosmetic enhancement that makes the status indicator fade out instead of disappear. It's minor, but I think it makes for a little more modern behavior. Same location: go url "http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/alphastatus.rev"; Sorry for the second download.

Re: What effects object colors?
If you haven't set the backcolor of the object or its parent card, group or stack then it should be according to the windows theme. On 24/12/06, Richard Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: What is it that sets the color of objects like a vertical scrollbar or the answer dialog box in the runtime mode? This is under Windows XP. These objects are picking up what seems to be the last backgroundcolor used to create an object in the development mode, but I'm not quite sure. Thanks.
