Yes, you have a very good point there. I know a few people who, after a few
drinks, think they drive better drunk. Clearly research and the law beg to
differ. I read so slow that another couple of seconds here or there I

I'd argue that any solution is better then no solution :P

Try:

Delete word 1 of ITheCoins

Substitute "1" with the correct word number (if you only know the 
word's content, look up "wordoffset" in the docu). Simple but hard to 
remember (I always forget about "delete ", and use "put "" into 
x" way too much).

If you haven't paid already, I certainly would not. This seller is  
clearly crooked. I would not fear being held to your contract with

If anything, you should report the seller to eBay.

drag/drop/snap button to arc

2007-08-17 Thread Emilio Gagliardi

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering how difficult it would be to design and build a stack that
would generate a dozen buttons (based on a set of words, 1 button/word) that
would allow a user to drag the button to an arc, and once over top the arc
would be 'sticky' and stay stuck to the arc until the mouseup event fired at
which time the button would be hidden (I'm thinking I would put some icon in
its place at the point on the arc where the button was released).

I'm trying to develop a new paradigm for an experiment I've been working on,
and I have code working to drag a button on the screen already (mind you
this was code I wrote 2 years ago now) and what I want to create is a
situation where the button starts equidistant from all points on a line,
hence the arc. I don't have much time unfortunately, which is why I'm asking
how hard it would it be to design and build.

Ideally, I'd like to capture the time spent dragging and positioning as
well, but that can wait.

I searched the archives for drag and drop threads but didn't find anything
that was relevant.  If I missed something, please let me know and I'll go
peruse the code.
I can post the code that I have, but it is complicated since I break the
code up in weird ways.

I would gladly take any comments/suggestions to get started ASAP.

thanks very much for your time!

OT: I'm scared of bidding on eBay

In my vain attempt at overcoming paranoia I'm trying eBay - yes for the
first time - and well I'm already scared :)

My first bid was/is for this phone I've always fancied prior to the iPhone
arriving here on December 15th... so i bid £30 - not a lot, figuring I
wouldn't get it and that if anything dodgy went on the Paypal insurance
would kick in... and now I have a bad feeling about it as the guy has only
been a seller for a few weeks and his 100% rating from 10 people looks
strange to me.

I mean would you trust a second hand car salesman called "hottseller2007" -
even if he had 10 recommendations from people like "kentcardealer " or
"everydayimbuying " or "titi2002-88". Now not being familiar with eBay
etiquette maybe I'm missing out on something here - do all eBay punters have
nicks that sound like spammers?

Anyway it turns out the seller does not take PayPal - and i'm contractually
bound to stick to my bid and pay into this guys account before he ships due
to some story about having lost

Re: Making Instruction Movies of Apps Made with Rev on a Mac


I've spent a lot of time on this recently.
After trying various apps, I settled on this setup:

A logictec USB headset$40
iShowU software $20
Quicktime PRo(had it already)


Your idea of pre-recording the audio (perhaps even have a script to 
read) is a good one. Increases the production values radically. 
iShow-U has a LOT of features, as if I wrote it for myself...you can 
now PAUSE it and delay start it. They seem to come up with upgrades 
every month.


I've also found that a high-quality mic and preamp don't necessarily 
translate into better audio for this kind of thing. My classic RCA 
77-DX microphone that sounds great on a saxophone sounded like 
crapola compared to the USB mic for voice. This was a bit of harsh 
news for an audio-oriented guy.


Editing:

You should know that you can easily edit cuts-only audio and video 
with the hidden features in Quicktime Pro, which every developer 
should have anyway...this means you could ramble through your 
presentation, then clean it up later. I'm also considering writing a 
voice-over utility in Rev.
Also going to a DVW like iMovie will bog  you down. Don't consider 
going to that kind of editor unless you want to spend more time and 
diskspace than really necessary.


What format to save?

After much experimentation I'd suggest using the Quicktime Apple 
Animation codec used in iShowU, which makes the cleanest screen image 
for the smallest sizes. The default frame rates can be changed to 
match the 'action'. This also makes a nice 640 x 480 viewable size 
possible.


How to deliver?

I first thought I'd deliver the docs from within the application, but 
the size of the movies really impacted the download size. nope.


And I wanted the ability to update the videos whenever needed.  So I 
put all the movies into a protected directory within a website.


Then I tried streaming directly to a player using http:
Kinda worked ok but I really didn't like the delays and performance 
at the time.


So then I came up with an simple caching scheme that would check for 
the existence of a movie in a user's local documents folder, and if 
not there, would download and play it. In finalizing  that part of 
the project I got the movies to stream properly so now it's offered 
as an option, local or streaming.


However in hindsight, the best player for this may be the built in 
web browser in Rev. This way one can deliver movies in any format, 
that streams and caches wonderfully and you can surround the player 
with live info.


The RevBrowser is really great - handles on all that web stuff. Brilliant.

Final note:  after editing in Quicktime, don't forget to 'save as 
self-contained file'  or you will have errors when you move movies 
that have been edited. The base movie can depend on other files 
unless you do this - very important. Movies that play on your system 
may not if moved if you don't do that.






I like Rev's movie instructions for Rev. I would like to make 
similar movies for a Rev-made app I finally getting 'done'.


The plan is to make the audio part of the instructional video first. 
Then, as the audio plays (elsewhere, but where I can hear it), use 
some (hopefully inexpensive) software to  grab successive window 
shots as I demo how to use my app in real time with the audio.


I need ideas and the software to get the (screen) window  shots 
(video) of my app.


Suggestions much appreciated. For now, I practice  to rrolling my 
's in prep for doing the audio.

Re: revdb_execute problem

2007-08-17 Thread mfstuart


Hi jbv,
With my experience using MS SQL, you define one statement (such as your
UPDATE), then on the next line type in "go" (without the double quotes),
then on the next line your next statement, then the "go" on the next line,
etc. The program "throws" that to SQL and executes all the statements,
sequentially.

I haven't tried this from Rev, but we use this in our product whenever we
deliver a "patch" for a customer to update/fix data - no problem.

Regards,
Mark

Re: [OT] Energy Efficient Search Engine

2007-08-17 Thread Jeff Reynolds


Ken,

no we did not track any learning/reading disorders with the study  
from what i remember, but the group was normalized so that we were  
getting an 'average' group of kids.


LOL, i am both dyslexic and have taken speed reading (the speed  
reading actually masked my being diagnosed as dyslexic for quite a  
while), but the light on dark does not work for me! I would doubt  
that dyslexia would play into this much, it seems to root from a  
deeper base difference in brain logic (more symbolic and less  
linguistic), but ive not kept up much on the subject.


I think the most interesting fact is that the reading speed/ 
comprehension/retention curves were shifted lower with the light on  
dark which indicated that it was affecting ALOT of the group, not  
just a few badly.


Also you may not realize you are being slowed down or have a lower  
comprehension! we got very different results when we just asked which  
looked better or felt better! those results were all over the map!  
Thats why we spent the money to do the study. While it was not quite  
at the level study to get published, it was done well and to a level  
to draw conclusions from for our practical uses. There was some  
published work on this, but studies varied in their scope and  
questions asked. most early studies pointed to dark on light being  
much better. some later studies showed little difference, but there  
was a lot of debate and and a lot of potential variables to control  
for, thus we did the study to look at our use in our target population.


cheers,

jeff

Hi Blair,

Most people will probably think of Snapz Pro immediately, but if you
are using a Mac, please give Snapper a try. Snapper was created with
Revolution and Trevor's EnhancedQT external. If you were thinking of
making screenshots, Snapper could be a good alternative for you. If
you run into problems with Snapper, just contact me and I'll give you
all necessary support. You can find it here: . I am working on a Windows version, but this will take a

Mmmh... things aren't clear...
Take a look at the revExecuteSQL command (equivalent to revdb_execute)
in the doc (Rev 2.5); it says :

The SQLStatement is a string in Structured Query Language. (Do not include 
a semicolon
at the end of the SQLStatement.)

Note:  Some database implementations, such as Oracle, are capable of 
handling a
multiple-line SQL statement.

First, it's not clear if each line of a multiple-line SQL statement should not 
be terminated
by a semicolon
or only the final one... Second, it sounds like multiple-line statements are 
allowed if the
DB implementation
accepts them... And according to various webpages, mySQL 4 does accept it...

that's what I've done, but I was actually trying to speed up some cgi scripts 
that feature
large numbers of mySQL queries by using multiple-line statements when queries 
are
similar...

I've never done that, but I would assume that revdb_execute is limited 
to only one command because it needs to return a result back to Rev; if 
it could support more than one command, there would have to be special 
handling to get the results of multiple commands back (even if it's 
just a simple "empty/error" result for each).

I'd break it into two separate revdb_execute statements instead.
