OT: Quicktime and which codec ist best supported?
Hello all, I am new to Revolution and Quicktime-Video. I have read the archives, but still unsure about the right way for video. I produce offline content, distributed on CD / DVD-ROM 1. With Revolution build-in player I can only play .mov - right? 2. As mov is only a container format I know that I can use different codecs with mov. Best results when testing produced the Sorenson 3 codec. I tested also with SorensonTM ( little less), Apple MPEG 4 (almost as good), Apple Cinepac (bad quality) and Apple Planar (best quality but incredible giant file size). My question is, which codec comes with Quicktime installer, or what codec can I assume on customer machine? 4. Are there differences of quicktime installation between Apple and Windows, beside quicktime on apple is preinstalled? 5. If e.g. the Sorenson codec doesn't come with Quicktime, can I install the Sorenson codec additional to quicktime on customer machine and quicktime will grab it, if I encoded my mov with Sorenson? 6. I encoded movs on one of my machines and playing on the other machine showed only LSD-like colored blur, though on both machines quicktime 7.1.3 (Windows) is installed. So there are obvious more factors, as quicktime version and codec to harmonize - what? 7. Which codec is the best approach with best quality and best compatibility when using mov? 8. As I have read on Apples quicktime site, I need an agreement from Apple to distribute the player with my application and have to put their logo on my product. Do you have any experiences with that procedure and restriction? 9. Did anyone tried to play avi or swf in revolution. I am not yet so far to use a shell execute, but I could think that could be an approach. But I don't know, if you have the chance to use controls / methods with a called exe, so that I can control an external player from within revolution (stop, pause,play,step, get mediastatus,.)

Storing arrays in a custom property
Hi I have an array ( tSolnA ) which consists of some 900+ records. Each record has between 2 and 14 items of comma separated data associated with a unique 4 digit key. As this data will not change when the stack is used I had thought of putting the array into a custom property ( uSolutionList) and either 1) accessing individual records directly in the custom property or 2) populating a standard array from the custom property at startup. My problem is storing the array in the first place. When I try this set the uSolutionList of this stack to tSolnA I get the following error Array: bad index expression -- and when I try this set the customproperties of this stack to tSolnA I get the array keys listed as individual custom properties and I can see the associated value in the properties panel but I can't seem to access them. -- Any help would be very appreciated as I don't want to resort to storing the data in invisible fields!

Re: Storing arrays in a custom property
Ian, to store an array, you need to set a customPropertySet: set the customProperties[uSolutionList] of this stack to tSolnA then, to access it put the uSolutionList[key] of this stack into tVar set the uSolutionList[key] of this stack to tVar Best, Mark On 18 Feb 2007, at 15:14, Ian McKnight wrote: Hi I have an array ( tSolnA ) which consists of some 900+ records.

Re: OT: Quicktime and which codec ist best supported?
Tiemo, The best Quicktime-compatible codec we've found is 3ivx. Best compression yielding the best graphics. It's at 3ivx.com, for both Windows and Mac. It's used commercially, for example, in the Pure Digital Point Shoot video cameras (which are rather amazing little camcorders). Yes, your customers will have to download and install it, but that's an easy practice. We've integrated their installer into our own Rev installer program to make it even easier for the customer.

When printing a card with an image on it, the area around the image prints a medium gray.

Multiple undo and redo
As far as the form designer goes: I understand that this is not trivial. I assume that your point is that anything done from, say the message box, would be hard to keep track of and undo. True. It would be reasonable if basic IDE actions could be undone. Other form designers can accomplish this. ( Right now it appears that moving an object can be undone, and typing, but little else. The menu is not grayed out, but selecting it does nothing. ) Reasonable undo capabilities: I refer to a stack, meaning LIFO data structure. Create a stack in memory called data_undo. When a basic action is performed, say the user selects a button and presses Delete, the following could happen: - If the stack is too big, say 10 elements, get rid of the oldest element. - An action saying Delete and the button data is pushed into data_undo, in whatever internal representation of a button is used. The user now selects a new item. No action is recorded, because this action is ignored. The user types in something in the message box and presses enter. No action is recorded, because this type of action is too hard to keep track of and could have multiple effects. The user switches tools. No action is recorded. (The way Revolution is now, switching tools clears the Undo.) The user begins editing a lengthy and complicated group script. While in the script editor, undo and redo are handled by the script editor. The user presses Ctrl+G, thinking that this will be the shortcut for Go to Line. Instead, the message is passed to the IDE which ungroups the selected objects, effectively deleting the group script and properties without warning. The user is still able to undo this Ungroup command by using Undo. In the script editor: there is no good reason. I have written undo for small scale text editors, simply by remembering the last 10 states. It is not like this is storing images in memory or something. -Ben --Have you ever implemented Undo for a scripted application? -- -- Richard Gaskin Managing Editor, revJournal -- ___ -- Rev tips, tutorials and more: http://www.revJournal.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

Have you ever implemented Undo for a scripted application? Let's avoid the old mode of answer. Agreed, implementing redo and undo efficiently is not an easy task. However, Ben's comment was adequate. This happened to me several times. Not because I intentionally pressed delete. Because I was within the property palette and press delete to erase some text... and it rather erased the control. That's one of the reason I systematically use STS/MLX excellent editor. http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/downloads/ stsMLXEditor.htm That way, my script gets preserved even if I accidentally delete a control on screen (provided I was editing it, of course).

Seems like you've got that down. When you implemented your own multi-level Undo, what language was it in? And did you have the assistance of a framework (e.g., Cocoa)? And what limited it to 10 states? To suggest there is no good reason may be a bit less productive than I'll spend time with here, but I do agree it would be useful to have.

Re: Quicktime and which codec is supported
Yes, Apple does require that you ask permission to distribute their Quicktime player, even though one can normally download it for free. It is a simple matter to obtain permission, by filling out and mailing the application that Apple provides. Remember, also, that Apple requests that their logo, which can be downloaded from Apple , be printed on the CD's label.

Imagine if this button had all the scripts for your application. This is a problem. I didn't follow your recipe exactly, but I had a stack already made and opened. I deleted a button, then chose undo from the Edit menu, and it came back. This has always been my experience, so there may be something else that is preventing it from working. Most HI guidelines define an undoable action as one that affects data, but operations which change selection do not affect the queue. But Rev operates differently: If you move a button, then click anywhere on the card or do anything else which changes the object selection, executing an Undo command will not return the button to its pre-move location. In fact, the mere click off of the object purges the Undo queue altogether (okay, maybe queue isn't the right word for a single-item Undo, but I'm optimistic about the future g). And not only is the undo queue purged, but when it changes as a result of a selection change the undoChanged message isn't sent as one would expect. That latter item is a bug, but given the limitations of the current undo mechanisms in Rev I'm not sure it's worth fixing. And with those limitations, the former issue of purging the Undo queue at unexpected times may not be a significant error given the nearly infinite range of things one might want to undo and how few are supported in the engine. What's really needed is a fresh start on Undo as a whole. At a minimum, there needs to be a message sent when the mouse is pressed outside of a control when the pointer tool is active. While that small detail would solve a great many complexities with implementing Undo for layout, it's such a small baby step with so much more needed for other types of tasks. When I think of good Undo architectures, I tend to think of good frameworks. That's why I asked Ben about his previous experience on the subject. I've been able to make hefty strides toward a universal multi-step Undo/Redo system only to the degree that I'm writing apps from scratch (as opposed to porting existing code, which I used to do a lot of in the early days), and to the degree that those apps can be written with a consistent style within a consistent architecture; any deviance from any one of those areas would make the application design to broad for a single mechanism to be useful. But sometimes constraints like that can be very valuable. Consider MFC, .Net, or Apple's Cocoa. Each of those has solid support for generalized Undo systems, but the ease of tapping that Undo support is relative to the developer's conformance to a wide range of other data management subsystems and structures. There are countless ways to get similar benefits in Rev, but rather than attempt something as complete -- and as formal and rigid -- as a whole framework, I think there's a lot that can be done on a more atomic level in support of such efforts. For example, being able to save object states would be great, esp. if those objects can be containers like cards and even stacks. Being able to store a container into a variable and restore it from that variable would make the rest of managing Undo queues much simpler. There may be other specific feature requests that would be useful but which aren't un BZ yet. What would be needed to see multi-level Undo implementable with relative ease in any Rev app? -- Richard Gaskin Managing Editor, revJournal ___ Rev tips, tutorials and more: http://www.revJournal.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
