Re: strange blending ink problem
Thanks Marks for your replies. It seems the ink of a few images was somehow altered from srcCopy to scrSomethingElse. The buttons that were using these images as icons also had their ink switched. It may have happened with a previous version of dreamcard player, but it seems to be stable now with both revMedia and revStudio. It is also possible that it was not a bug but rather a cat...walking on the keyboard...sigh... yet another Mark ___ 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

Which is why I said then I thought better of the idea. On 16/05/07, Chipp Walters [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: And exactly how does 'letting them sue you' save money? Lawyers cost money no matter which side of a case they are on. In reality though it would be a foolish company or individual to sue you if they had absolutely no case, and if they did you could always represent yourself, or better get a lawyer to defend you on a no-win-no-fee basis. If you have the facts, ie the contract, the comments in the code etc and you use conventional journalistic standards in reporting them, you should be on fairly safe ground. Of course if you want to play really safe - you'd be better taking it as a learning exercise - who to trust who not that sort of thing. On the other hand if as is often the case you really do not want people to get away with that sort of thing, you are angry, and you want to forewarn other people, simply letting it slide under the carpet may not be what you are after. I still think there should be some sort of web site for publishing these sort of stories. Companies and individuals would think twice about ripping someone off, whereas as it is at the moment they know they are likely to get away with it. The counter problem of course is spurious claims - but these would be subject to libel in the normal way for any publication. ___ 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

Getting Icon out of ResEdit doc
Hi everyone, I'm sure one of you has determined how to do this. I have an application written in FB. It uses a resource file that contains an Icon I'd like to now use for a Rev Standalone. I haven't the slightest idea as to how to approach this. I've not used a resource editor other than ResEdit, which appears not to work in OSX. Thoughts would be appreciated. BTW, I just used 2.8.1 to compile the standalone. Worked flawlessly AFAIK.

Re: Getting Icon out of ResEdit doc
Hi Joe, In ResEdit, copy the icon the same way you always did. Use Apple's Icon Composer (which is installed with Apples Developer Tools) to create an icon. You can simple paste the icon in Icon Composer. Point the Standalone Settings to the icon file you have just created and you're ready. This way, you will get an icon 32x32 pixels large, which is rather ugly. I'd recommend creating a new icon or, if that is not an option, use an image editor to increase the size of the icon to 128x128 as smoothly as possible.

Thanks, Mark. I thought I remembered something like that. The FileJuicer that Brent suggested is very interesting, but doesn't appear to work for Icons.

Message Box
Is it safe to remove the Message Box from a standalone? On the occasions where an Execution Error has occurred, it shows the Execution Error stack (which is desireable) but also puts the info into the Message Box and shows it (which is undesireable).
