A reasonable assumption, but I'm afraid "get url" does need libUrl when used with ftp and http URLs. The same is true for other calls using http and ftp urls (load, post, etc.) and also the cachedUrls() function.

This is a better way than pasting the field on each card, because when you paste, you get multiple copies of the field. That makes it hard to edit and uses more space and memory. Placing a 1-field group shares it among cards, and allows you to edit once and have your changes automatically reflected everywhere. Note that you don't necessarily have to check "background behavior", it's optional. You can still place and share a group on several cards without that, though behavior changes a little when you do. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ 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

Richmond's Yahoo-Groups and related guff.
A while back I had a "file crisis" - i.e. lots of daft RunRev files I wanted to make available for those hardy souls who were willing to risk any consequences of playing with them, and no money to pay for a socking great website. Various 'kind' people offered to hold them for me on their websites; and, for one reason or another all those offers went rapidly "pear-shaped". So the only solution I could find at the time was via Yahoo Groups (RevOnline is nice, but a bit tough on the 'Goyim' such as those who are tinkering around with older versions of RR or Metacard). Unfortunately Yahoo Groups require registration - and some people have got all 'prickly' about information being garnered by interested bodies from Yahoo. My advice (!!!) to those who wish to access my files but don't want 'Dubya', 'The Bogeyman', 'MI6' and 'Uncle Tom Cobbley' learning about their secret bank accounts in the Cayman Islands is to set up some silly, anonymous e-mail account from which to register. all the files available on my Yahoo Groups are FREE to download, pull-apart, improve on and generally use. I will not accept any responsibility if doing any of those things with my files blanks your hard-drives, affects your bank balance in the Cayman Islands or otherwise. I am very grateful when people who make use of my offerings give some sort of redit or send me a thank you note. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson Save the last dance for me, and don't slip in the dogs mess on the way over to take my hand. ___ New Yahoo!

Re: answer dialog over modal window
Well, I ended up solving my own problem, but I'm pretty sure there's a bug here, as Rev is not behaving as the docs say it should in this case. I'm pretty sure, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong, that the docs say that using open stack "blahblah" as sheet will open the stack as a modal window when running under OS's that don't support sheets. But for some reason it's not working correctly. When I changed the command to open stack "blahblah" as modal, and then opened the answer dialog, it appeared over the modal window correctly. Using sheet with the open stack command is doing something different. I mean, the dialog appears as modal and works as modal, but when you try to open another modal over it, like the answer dialog, no dice. Not a huge issue since there's a workaround, but I think I'll report this to Runtime. Either the behavior should reflect the docs, or the docs should reflect the behavior. :-) Thanks, Chris On Feb 12, 2007, at 1:41 PM, Chris Sheffield wrote: I'm having a strange problem. Seems to be happening only under Windows (tested on Windows XP, server 2003). I'm not sure if it's something I've done wrong or if I've found a bug in Rev. Maybe someone can help. Running Rev 2.7.4. I have an application that at one point opens a modal dialog for the user to change some settings. When the user clicks the save button, a verification routine runs to make sure all necessary settings are correct. If there's a problem, I simply bring up the answer dialog to inform the user so they can fix it. But there seems to be a problem opening a modal window (answer dialog) over another modal window. The answer dialog opens behind the already open modal window instead of in front of it. And there's no way to switch to it. I even tried using Task Manager to switch to the answer dialog, but that didn't do anything. So the application looks as though it's hanging, when really it's just waiting for user input. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround for it? Everything works fine on the Mac. Of course, on the Mac I'm opening my settings dialog as a sheet rather than as a regular modal window. Any thoughts?

answer dialog over modal window
I'm having a strange problem. Seems to be happening only under Windows (tested on Windows XP, server 2003). I'm not sure if it's something I've done wrong or if I've found a bug in Rev. Maybe someone can help. Running Rev 2.7.4. I have an application that at one point opens a modal dialog for the user to change some settings. When the user clicks the save button, a verification routine runs to make sure all necessary settings are correct. If there's a problem, I simply bring up the answer dialog to inform the user so they can fix it. But there seems to be a problem opening a modal window (answer dialog) over another modal window. The answer dialog opens behind the already open modal window instead of in front of it. And there's no way to switch to it. I even tried using Task Manager to switch to the answer dialog, but that didn't do anything. So the application looks as though it's hanging, when really it's just waiting for user input. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround for it? Everything works fine on the Mac. Of course, on the Mac I'm opening my settings dialog as a sheet rather than as a regular modal window. Any thoughts?

Re: Re-posting of Question about Draw and Paint Palette
Thanks Richard. I had kind of come to that conclusion on my own, but it's comforting to hear an authoritative opinion on the topic. Developing such a palette will certainly be grist for a future article on my Macinstuct.com column on Revolution. I finalize a cross platform application begun this past week with this Wednesday's column, so be sure to check it out.

Mercury in retrograde
Mark, could be a better way to resolve a conflict than to post it to the list? I don't know the nature of the conflict nor do I need to know, but FWIW my own experience working with Josh has been different than yours. I've known both of you for several years, and you both have a long list of professional experience to your credit. I trust the two of you can work out whatever issues there are between yourselves. This list has been pretty much controversy-free for months, and I'd hate to see a momentary lapse in otherwise excellent professional judgment break the good roll we're on. As they say in California, chalk it up to Mercury in retrograde If I can help mediate I'd be happy to do so offlist. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com ___ 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

Best way to Pass Results to a Field from an External
Hi All, I have an External C/C++ function. One of the tasks it performs is to analyze a large amount of data and generate three lines of output per data "chunk", there are about 1000 chucks (but this can vary). I have at present a C/++ loop in the external that goes through each chuck and generates the data. Basically I would like to output the three lines to an Revolution field. This is what I would like to do in TranScript: put "line1" & cr & "line2" & cr & "line3" & cr & cr after field "DataLog" What is the best way to achieve this in a C/C++ External? I can see that I can get and set the contents of a Field but I can't see how to use the "after" key word. Do I have to do a "get" on the field copy the data to the end and then do a "set"? If so, do I use realloc() to make the buffer returned bigger? Any help on the would be greatly appreciated.

Jeff, try the format function
put format("%1.2f",NBalance) into NBalance
The numberFormat is a system property, and you can't set it for one
variable. It persists (I think) until the current handler finishes.
In any case, it simply limits the decimal places, and will not put
the trailing zeros in, so if your calculation produced a value of
21.1, it would still only give you "21.1" rather than "21.10".
Best,

Re: Dollar Format
Jeff, The "numberFormat" is actually a global setting, so you would set it and perform your script as such: set the numberFormat to "#.00" put pBalance - (iDPayment + DSUM) into NBalance Let us know if that doesn't help.
