Table Field Cell Properties
Is there some way to set properties of an individual cell in a table field? For example, can I lock a particular row, set the text attributes of a particular cell?

Any suggestions on how to onion skinning?
I'm working on a program with my son that does simple card-based animation, but one of the things he asked how to do in Rev stumped me, and that is doing an onion skin - showing a grayed out version of the previous card's objects on the current card. I know how to do *some* of it (I can take actual Rev objects from the previous card, copy them, change their lines/fills/blends/etc. to work and then group them and put them behind the current set of objects on the current card), but what stumps me is how to handle imported/created images. At best, what I'd *like* to do is to basically convert images to grayscale, and at worst I'd settle for turning all non-white pixels a single color of gray. I know I can walk through the imageData and convert things pixel by pixel, but I fear that would be really slow on larger (say 800x600) images (although I haven't tried it yet). Any suggestions?

Hi Ken, You could use Wilhelm Sanke's image tools to remove the color from the screencaptured image. I think that would actually be pretty fast.

prevent multiple instances of an application
Hello and greetings from sunny Adelaide, Does anyone know how to prevent launching multiple instances of a Standalone in Windows? I have added a url protocol to the Registry that launches my app when a (custom) link is clicked in a web-browser. I would like the app to remain open and respond to further messages. Instead, each time a link is clicked, another copy of the app is opened. When searching the web for an answer to this, all I could find is examples (in VB or Delphi etc) of an app checking to see if another copy of itself is running. Surely there must be an easier way?

Re: prevent multiple instances of an application
Alister, I am quoting from memory here but I do think there's some message 'relaunch' that is triggered on the first instance in the case a second instance is launched or something like that. This of couse only works on windows since mac os x does not allow multiple instances (legacy behavior from classic times) and linux is the wild west. If you need to implement it by hand, create a lock file scheme like this: Step #1) check for the presence of a file lock file (or whichever name you want). Step #2) If the file is present, check it's content, it will be a time stamp, if the timestamp is more than 10 minutes old... assume the application crashed and launch normally or do crash recovery routines. Step #3) If the time stamp on the file is younger than 10 minutes then theres an active copy of the software running, shut down the second issue and maybe signal the first instance somehow. Step #4) If the file is not present launch normally and create lock file with the current time. Step #5) Every 5 minutes update that timestamp. Step #6) When shutting down, delete the lock file. I think this more or less solve your problems.

Re: Any suggestions on how to onion skinning?
Ken, Have you tried snapshoting the card, then somewhere off screen you put a gray image on top of the snapshot with some blend and take another shot. Depending on ink combinations you might have a nice result. Another way, which I don't know how fast it is, is to read each pixel in the snapshot and convert it using some proportional gray value.

Re: How to create a 4 second Quicktime Mov with a single JPEG
Chipp, Its half-OT. I am using a combination of altBrowser and flash player to play movies and mp3 files with thumbnails inside rev. This is working fine and is behaving better as a cross platform solution for us. What I do is: I generate on runtime an HTML with JW Flash Media Player. Our movies are meant to be loaded over the internet so, I can load the needed player over the internet too. I set it to a rect of the stack, the user doesn't even notice that part of the card is actually a web view, it all feels like a simple embed player. There's just a simple trip to fetch the player (couple kb) and the movies. Depending on the movie format, I switch to QT inside the altBrowser window. So in the end we're able to play a lot of movie files that were not playing inside revs own qt player.

menu accelerators problem
Hi All, the 2.8.1 engine change log says: The menu accelerators now also work as you would intuitively expect. i.e. * the active menubar gets sent a mouseDown message before being searched for non-disabled accelerators * the active menubar gets sent a menuPick message if one of its accelerators is activated if the commandKeyDown/controlKeyDown message is passed I have a Windows app with several windows, some of the windows have two menus (groups of btns) on them, one English the other Japanese. Depending on the interface the user chooses, the appropriate menu is shown and the other is hidden. I enable/disable menu items appropriate to the context - eg 'copy' is disabled when no text is selected - when the menu has a mousedown. My problem is that the accelerators do not work on any items that are en/disabled. (items that are never disabled respond correctly to the accelerator keys). When I check the contents of the btn they are still disabled - meaning the menubar is not receiving the mousedown message before being searched. The active menubar must be my problem but I can't seem to make the visible menubar receive the mousedown. I have tried bringing it to the front, disabling the hidden menubar etc but it does not seem to work. Any suggestions on how to get the visible menubar on the topstack to respond to accelerators on a Windows app?

Re: Any suggestions on how to onion skinning?
This is sort of interesting: if you simply take one of the color bytes of each pixel, and copy it to the other two color bytes, you get a gray-scale result. The brightness/contrast varies with which color you choose. For the few images I've tried, it seems to be red =brighter/less contrast to blue= darker/more contrast. This may be no surprise to the pro image wranglers among us, but seemed intriguing to me. function MakeGS @indata the imageData of the source image repeat with n = 1 to length(inData) - 3 step 4 get char n+3 of inData blue byte, 1 for red, 2 for green put null it it it after outData end repeat return outData end MakeGS and it runs perhaps twice as fast as taking an average.

Re: menu accelerators problem

Re: Any suggestions on how to onion skinning?
Mark, Unless you average the 3, your gray-scale result may not work properly. Try it on an image with 3 circles: 100%R, 100%G, 100%B and you'll see what I mean.

Re: How to create a 4 second Quicktime Mov with a single JPEG
Hi Andre, Thanks. I think I saw something about your process in an earlier thread. Problem is, I'm building a timeline based QT editor which has a video and 2 audio tracks-- kinda the standard video editor interface..and I need it to punch out standalone, flattened QT Movs. My current technique is working fine. -Chipp ___ 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

Re: menu accelerators problem
Hi Sarah, Well, this seems to work - thank you for the suggestion. I use set the menubar all the time for my Mac apps but the docs say: Platform Support: MacOS and OS X Use the menubar property to specify which menus appear in the menu bar on Mac OS systems when a stack is the active window. My app is Win which leads me to ask if this is a doc mistake and if not, then why does it (apparently) matter on Windows? Should I report this and if so, as what?
