That's correct - anything that gets virtualized ends up being

having someone with a specific set of permissions log in and do it.


I see Rev's own updater tool is affected by this. (Need to set the  
app to "Run as Administrator" to get it to work.) Hopefully that will  
provide the appropriate incentive for them to come up with a solution.

Re: Delimiting thousandths..converting 12345678 to 12, 345, 678 for example

[Brian Yennie]

If you just need something for whole integers, how about something  
simple like:


function thousandsDelimit pNum
repeat with i=-1 down to (0 - length(pNum))
put char i of pNum before temp
if (i mod 3 = 0) then put comma before temp
end repeat
if (char 1 of temp is comma) then delete char 1 of temp
return temp
end thousandsDelimit

If you needed to work with decimals, you could call it with something  
like:


set the itemDelimiter to "."
put thousandsDelimit(item 1 of tNum) into item 1 of tNum

HTH,
Brian

If there a built-in "thousandths delimit" function that takes a  
number and inserts the appropriate delimiter (e.g. commas for  
USA).  Alternately, does someone have an idea for a really fast and  
efficient custom function that does it?  I have maybe a hundred  
thousand numbers at a time to convert and cannot think of how to do  
it reliably in less than a dozen lines of code.


Corollary to this question is, any way to read user's system  
preferences about which delimiter to use?


Thanks

Mark

Re: Revolution Freezing or Quitting Unexpectedly

[Shari]

Hey, when you guys report things like this, it would be very helpful 
if we knew what you're using. Computer and OS and Rev version.


Joe Wilkins


In my case this has occurred on two computers:

MacPro Macintel 10.4.7 running a standalone built with 2.8.1.  The 
standalone was built as a Universal Binary.


Also on a Mac G-5 running 10.4.9 using the same standalone.

I did encounter unexpected quits during development as well, when it 
was just a stack.  I had thought it was related to the screensaver 
coming up when the computer was idle for a few minutes but never was 
able to verify.  When I tried to intentionally make it quit, it did 
not.  Then the quits stopped, so I thought somehow it had resolved 
itself.  But now in standalone mode, they are back again.


It doesn't freeze for me, it just up and quits unexpectedly.  I do 
have a crash log from the other fella on the G-5.


I don't know how to read the crash log as I don't speak C.  But one 
thing that jumps out at me is the frequent reference to 
com.gypsyking.BlackjackGold.  This is the name of the pList file, 
which does not get created when you launch the standalone.  Even 
though I have a custom pList file in the appropriate place in the 
Contents folder, and I know my pList is solid, the engine does not 
re-create it in the users main Preferences folder.  Previous 
standalones have successfully created this file.  I do not know if 
this missing file in some way causes the quits.

Re: Location of Handlers that Trap Messages

[Gregory Lypny]

Thanks for your thoughtful response, Devin.  Except in the simplest  
of stacks, my intuition has always been to place handlers that trap  
messages in or close to the objects for which they are intended.  It  
may be for this reason that I've yet to encounter the group-as-a- 
background problem you describe.  However, the standalone problem  
that you also mention would never have occurred to me, so many thanks  
for the heads up.

Hello everyone,

I'm a little rusty here.  Does it matter much where I place
handlers that trap openCard, closeField, and such messages?  In a
simple stack, I put them all in the stack script, but I guess I
could put them in group script.  I'm interested in speed as opposed
to which controls will receive a message because they lie in its  
path.


Hi, Gregory.

My rule of thumb (thanks to Jerry Daniels for stating it in a
succinct formula,) which I pass on to my students is:

"Place a handler as far up the message hierarchy as it needs to be,
but no farther."

In other words, if several controls do virtually the same thing, a
handler placed in an enclosing group or a card might be the most
efficient placement. On the other hand, don't just throw all of your
handlers in a stack script, since not all handlers are needed
everywhere in the stack.

In fact, a handler placed too far up the hierarchy can have the
unintended effect of being triggered too often. I see a common
problem in beginner stacks that starts to show up right after I
introduce groups, and I urge students to place handlers in the group
script rather than in individual buttons within the group, when
appropriate. So often what happens is students rightly create a group
of navigation buttons with, say, a "go next" button, that is to be
placed on every card. Then they put a mouseup handler in the group,
something like this:

on mouseUp
   go next card
end mouseUp

But what happens if the group inadvertently gets set to be a
backgroundBehavior group (which happens often; see the "undocumented
feature" described in  .) Suddenly every click on any object on the
card, or even on the card itself, can trigger mouseUp in the group,
unless those objects have their own mouseUp handler. A much better
placement, of course, is in the "next" button itself, since no other
control really needs to trigger that action. This is maybe a
simplistic example, but it's a good illustration of what can happen
if you expose a handler to too many objects by placing it too high in
the message hierarchy.

More insidious are preOpenStack and openStack handlers placed in the
stack script of a stack that is used to launch other stacks. In the
IDE everything is fine. But as soon as you  create a standalone from
that stack, it essentially becomes the Rev engine, and every stack it
opens will potentially pass openStack messages up to it. As someone
else mentioned, you can avoid this problem by placing these handlers
in the card script of card 1 of the stack, but even that can lead to
unintended consequences.

Devin

AW: The Art of Dissolving Splash Screens

[Peter Alcibiades]

Yes, the same thing works in Linux standalones compiled in Linux.  You just 
open the 'other' file, the non-splash substack, in the IDE.   Then save, no 
need to recompile. 

Doesn't work for the main stack of course.  But who cares, since it only calls 
the substack which does all the work.  Very nice.  Best of both worlds, 
interpreted and compiled.

core image transitions

[Claudi Cornaz]

Hi all,

Currently I am working on a "arty" project. In a kind of dark box 
images (actually
always tiling patterns) will be projected on all 4 sides. In this box 
will be tables and chairs
and people will be sitting there. These patters (hundreds of them) will 
slowly
dissolve one in the other. This part I got working beautifully with 
blendLevels and
different inks. (the patterns will be choosen at random and also the 
timing will have

a random component)

The next part is more complicated and I don't know if it can be done in 
rev. (I hope so)
Over these background patterns I need to move spot's of other patterns, 
a
bit like clouds. These "clouds" should change the undelying pattern in 
contrast,
or color, or luminosity etc. I was hoping I might use the new core 
transitions to

achieve this but I can't get them to work.

I manage the CIDissolveTransition to work but alas I can't get any of 
the
blendModes to do anything. I hope there is something obvious I am 
missing.


I have a stack with 2 images and a btn with the script.

on mouseUp
   hide img "testImg"
   do "show img" && quote & testImg & quote && "with visual effect 
CISaturationBlendMode slowly"   -- for instance, I tried all blendModes

end mouseUp

I also tryed to put the destination img after the blendMode (with 
visual effect CISaturationBlendMode slowly to "bgImg")


Alas no dice. After a delay the testImg just pops in front of the 
bgImg. No transition no combining of the 2 images, nothing.


If anyone has a sugestion, please I am in a bit of a fix now, not 
knowing if it can be done with rev or that I
need to find some other way to do this (other solutions are very 
welcome as well of course)



All the best
  Claudi

Ps. I have the newest macBook and of course 10.4 and the latest build 
of rev.

Re: [OT] iPhone anyone?

[Andre Garzia]

What I always wanted was a phone that exposed itself in some sane API for
some lightweight language such as lisp or forth.
For example, here in Brazil you have your phone number as a 8 digits phone.
If you're on a different state (or city) you need to put the 2 digits DDD
(distance direct call) for your city in front of those 8 numbers and since
we have more than one carrier for landlines you also need to put the 2
digits code of the carrier you want to use.

So whenever I travel for example to são paulo, my home phone which is
26095048 becomes something like 01121-26095048, now, all my numbers in my
contact list don't have that prefix, if the damn phone exposed some API I
could code a 'add prefix to all numbers' function or something like that.

There's no limit what an open architecture can do. Almost all Richards wants
below are resolved if the iPhone had an open API and one single USB port for
missing hardware. Presto! All your GPS, sat phone, anything needs are thus
solved, just take code and some new pcbs.

Re: core image transitions

[David Bovill]

Claudi - I have not tried the core transition blend modes, but looking at
the Apple documentation it seems that you may need some parameters:

CISaturationBlendMode

Uses the luminance and hue values of the background with the saturation of
the source image.
Parameters*inputImage*

A CIImage class whose display name is Image.
*inputBackgroundImage*

A CIImage class whose display name is Background Image.
Now - I'm not sure what the parameters are in Rev - but it should look
something like:


show image "Target Image" with visual effect CISaturationBlendMode with *
inputImage* id 5389 and *inputBackgroundImage* id 5394



As others look like this:

show image "Target Image" with visual effect CISaturationBlendMode with

backsideImage id 5389 and shadingImage id 5394



You may want to look at using Quartz Composer - You should be able to create
movies in which you can move and animate the various layers with the effects
you describe. These are then simple QuickTime movies so you can play them in
Rev stacks - on OSX Tiger and above. You should be able to add inputs so
that the videos talk to each other, and you may need to make Rev loop the
videos and have some problems with glitches on looping

If I get you right you are doing a four sided cube installation? Can i come
and see it :)

Re: ANN: Snapper Screen Recorder for Mac OS X

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Andre,

I can't show the cursor yet. I have been thinking of several  
solutions. Maybe I can show a cursor in a cursor-shaped system window  
during recording, but I am sure this will be annoying. Perhaps I  
could remember the cursor location in a list and add a picture of the  
cursor later. As far as I know, there is no way to show the cursor  
when making a snapshot in Revolution. Ideas to solve this problem are  
highly appreciated!


Best regards,

Mark Schonewille

Hi David,

On a fast computer (2.16 Mhz MacBook) I get easily 12 to 24 frames  
per second, but when core image techniques are used, such as the  
dock's ghost-out-of-bottle effect (as it is called in Dutch), the  
application stalls. To show these effects, we probably need some  
changes at engine level.

Using Rev to learn CS or How I coded an assembler interpreter in one night.

[Andre Garzia]

Friends,
I wrote a little article about how I coded in less than five hours a simple
Assembly interpreter. I had a problem that in my university they teach us
some Assembly for a simulated machine called SIMx86 that only runs on
windows. I use macs and had no way to study (except watching the powerpoint
presentations on keynote), my assembly examination was approaching so I took
the job of coding myself an intepreter that was compatible with the
instructions of SIMx86 to a level that I was able to run all the examples we
learned in class and experiment on my own.

In the end, I coded it all, it works and it even has a line by line
debugger.

The article is here: http://andregarzia.com/blog/files/aasm.html

Thats one success story of using Revolution in Education :-)

Re: ANN: Snapper Screen Recorder for Mac OS X

[Andre Garzia]

Hello Mark,

try this, get the global cursor location for each frame, if you can't do
that in Rev, then you can do that with applescript, I am sure. just record
the positions for each frame. Then before packing the images together, use
an PNG with alpha channel and put it on the location for each frame and take
a new snapshot. This will take more time rendering but I think it will work.
With such technique you can also implement cursor trails to help people see
what is happening or custom cursors.


two things come to mind:
Applescript OSAX ExtraSuite http://osaxen.com/files/extrasuites1.1.html
This suite has mouse location functions.


Or you can for each frame capture, lock the screen, show a stack the size of
the screen, get the mouseloc() for that stack, hide the stack. Don't know
how fast you can do this and how it affects the fps.


Some better coders in here may have better ideas!!! :-D

Yes. I've just sent you a copy saved in 2.4 format.

It would be helpful if list folks who generously offer stacks or

not everyone can open newer format stacks. The one exception would  
be for stacks that use syntax or features that require version 2.7

description or announcement. Also, Media users cannot save in  
legacy format, so they should also mention that their contributions  
require Rev 2.7 (or ask someone with Studio or Enterprise to resave  
the stack for them.)


Noted, Jacque. Sorry, folks, for that oversight. I've posted a legacy- 
formatted stack at

I hope you find it useful.

I was told by Mark W at RunRev that currently only Core Effects which are
transitions work within Revolution (transitions have a source and
destination).  Effects do not.

You might want to look at Rev's ink effects as the range of these were
recently expanded to include blend effects like those found in Photoshop's
layer styles and more.

Automatic mail send (RevMail?)

[Beynon, Rob]

HI All, 

 

I'm writing an instrument error reporting application and I'd like the bug 
report page to automatically send an email, via our smtp/imap mail server, to a 
recipient. I understand that revMail invokes a client, but because these 
machines aren't set up for email, this is inconvenient. 

 

Any ideas about sending an email automatically? (I will program the entire 
content, including the body in plain text).

Is there a PC shell command that I could use that could be called to automate 
the process?

 

Thanks in advance

Rob

Andre Garzia wrote a mail stack (SMTP Raw) some time ago that handles mail
within Rev (no external mail app needed).  I don't see his stack posted

Also, Shao Sean has written a stack called libEmail (perhaps this is now

I don't have Vista in front of me but IIRC, I do it by right-clicking on the
Rev app and choosing the selection from the contextual menu.  I couldn't
find a way to make the setting "stick" but there may be one.

What you do is right-click on the application and choose "Run as 
Administrator" from the menu. If you're logged in with Admin privileges 
and UAC turned ON, you'll get the "approval" dialog (excuse the 
ASCII-only representation here):

---

Don't run the program unless you know where it's from or you've used it

-> Allow
I trust this program. I know where it's from or I've used it before.

If you're logged in as a non-Admin user with UAC turned ON, you'll get 
the "authentication" dialog:

Don't run the program unless you know where it's from or you've used it

And if you're logged in with UAC turned off, you have the option in the

snapshot of the images and an AppleScript OSAX is no option for this  
application, but I am sure I can work out something. The idea of a  
cursor trail is very nice. I will definitely implement that when I  
find the time for it.


Best regards,

Mark Schonewille

Hello Mark,

try this, get the global cursor location for each frame, if you  
can't do
that in Rev, then you can do that with applescript, I am sure. just  
record
the positions for each frame. Then before packing the images  
together, use
an PNG with alpha channel and put it on the location for each frame  
and take
a new snapshot. This will take more time rendering but I think it  
will work.
With such technique you can also implement cursor trails to help  
people see

what is happening or custom cursors.


two things come to mind:
Applescript OSAX ExtraSuite http://osaxen.com/files/ 
extrasuites1.1.html

This suite has mouse location functions.


Or you can for each frame capture, lock the screen, show a stack  
the size of
the screen, get the mouseloc() for that stack, hide the stack.  
Don't know

how fast you can do this and how it affects the fps.


Some better coders in here may have better ideas!!! :-D


Cheers

RunRev Support

[william humphrey]

I just read the support page at RunRev. Wow, doesn't come cheap.

I just spent the whole day working on a stack which has thirteen
substacks. For some reason one of the substacks disappeared. I figured
it just got renamed or something but when I opened the main stack
again all the substacks were gone. I found that I could go to a
substack but it wasn't a substack any longer.

I am using galaxy which I thought made automatic back-ups but I can't
find those either.

I know things are seriously awry because the main stack is not visible
in the application browser although it is open.

Is there some RunRev preferences Revolution Studio 2.8.1 that I should
start erasing?

Thanks to both you and Ken. I did some poking around and found you can 
do this:


   1. Right-click the program icon and click Properties.
   2. On the Property sheet, click the Compatibility tab.
   3. Under Privilege Level, select the Run this program as an 
administrator check box, and then click OK.



Elsewhere I also found this note: Since you’re running this program with 
administrative privileges you’ll be prompted by UAC every time you use

Re: RunRev Support

[william humphrey]

I found the missing stack by opening all the substacks one by one and
ignoring the fact that runrev claimed they were not substacks, saving
everything and then re-opening. Then the missing stack turned up
renamed something else.

So if the application browser had continued to work the whole time
this would have been easier to figure out.

This is also something which I hope to never repeat so I don't see how
it can be a "repeatable bug"

But for other newbees (since this has happened to me before) usually
when a stack disappears it is because it got renamed somehow.

Re: Using Rev to learn CS or How I coded an assembler interpreter inone night.

[Mark Wieder]

Andre-

Very nice. And one of the nice things about doing it this way is that you 
have to internalize the knowledge of how the registers work in order to code 
it, so you end up with a deep understanding of the process. Much better than 
if you were just working with the canned simulator.

I do think you're going to run into problems with subroutines, though - 
you'd probably be best off turning your tCL variable into a FILO stack.

[ANN} Writing (not drawing) with the pencil

[James Hurley]

I originally  thought it would be useful to see if Run Rev could  
mimic ads I have seen on television in which an animated pencil is  
used to write a signature at the bottom of a page of text.


Alas, it was not to be. Couldn't find a way to  convert the alphabet  
to Run Rev graphic  objects.


Maybe someone has some ideas.

In any event, here are some examples of the pencil in animation.

In the message box run:

go url "http://home.infostations.net/jhurley/WritingWithPencil.rev";

Jim

P. S. This works best in Run Rev 2.6. The pencil took a beating in  
subsequent upgrades.


P.S. If the number one pencil in America is the No. 2 lead pencil,  
why is it No. 2?

A couple of newbie type questions.

1) Does anyone know of a Revolution stack or pluggin that calculates  an 
astrological chart also giving the positions and houses?


2) What is the print resolution/format from drawings in Revolution?  Or 
what format can be exported to be imported into say PhotoShop for

Re: Astrology and Art

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

I've been seriously involved with astrology for over 35 years and  
most of the manual charting that is done by individual astrologers,  
and used to be taught in classes, utilizes the tropical system, so  
this implementation should be widely accepted. I was very impressed  
with what I saw. One of the books in my library was pressed from  
copper plates back in 1784. It has accurate natal charts for all the  
reining monarchs of that period.

Hello Sivakatirswami,

You can take a look at my simple FTP program on RevNet "CS FTP".  It has

Mark, got it thanks!

btw... poking around your web site does your multi-media presentation
tool box do the two screen thing? ala PowerPoint and KeyNote where
the projector plugged into the external monitor (monitor 2)
automatically defaults becoming is the primary screen for the viewing
audience  and on the actual CPU  internal screen, running the
show there are presentor's notes tied to the slide that appears
in the external window (projector)

I'm thinking this can be done now with Rev 2 monitor support, but
would need to be built from the ground up...
