I know terminal server is a different way of working but why did I get a black screen? On startup I use: on preopenStack set the loc of me to the screenLoc set the navigationarrows to false set the backdrop to white set the decorations of stack "XXX" to none hide menubar --- for OSX hide taskbar --- for Windows end preopenStack Can anyone tell me why it doesn't work now?

Correction to: my cursor shows as black
Hi all, In this post: http://www.nabble.com/my-cursor-shows-as-all-black-to15860638.html I made the following statement: **IMPORTANT - make one pixel "outside" the cursor area to be white or black. That is incorrect. It should read... **IMPORTANT - make one pixel "outside" the cursor area (the black outline) to be white. This forces RunRev to set the colors in the Colors property to be: First Color = white Second Color = black Third Color = white Which is the correct way to display a cursor with transparency in RunRev. And as Jacqueline kindly pointed out: Only one more thing: if you are planning to go cross platform with this app, your cursor can't be 32 pixels square. Linux and Mac support only 16 pixel square cursors. Caveat: Windows does support either 16x16 or 32x32 Regards, Mark Stuart -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Correction-to%3A-my-cursor-shows-as-black-tp15897800p15897800.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.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
Re: NEWS FLASH -iPhone SDK event -- iTunes APP store
The iPhone version of XCODE is designed for the iPhone (XCODE Touch) - input and the other features of the iPhone require it. Also, there is a technical requirement that you use an Intel Mac with Leopard. Looks like a major (maybe impossible) job for Rev to be involved in this. sims Actually modified xcode code generation for the iPhone has been around for many months, but unsupported by Apple because this was done by the developer community. That's how a number of iPhone apps were developed, though without the benefit of being able to use a debugger or the simulator. That meant that prior to the release of this SDK, standard code (with some limitations of course - no multiple windows etc) was already being used to make apps for the iPhone. Apple's SDK just takes all this much further. All the input stuff is in the OS code or frameworks that's built in so you get to inherit lots of stuff automatically as long as you are using Cocoa. There's some new capabilities that are available, but for now, being able to create the kind of apps that we are able to do today (ok, 1 window apps) would already be nice.

Re: 2.9 or 2.8.1 – Same problem
I noticed the same problem with an app of mine which worked perfectly on XP but when moved to Vista, printing just blew away Rev. My printer is a Xerox Phasor 8400DN that I talk to over my network so our printer setups are different enough to (possibly) exclude driver issues although we could both just be "lucky." :-) My problem is that it is not consistent. Sometimes it DOES work. Go figure... len morgan Tom Johnson wrote: All, I'm having a pretty server problem when printing. I'm not sure if it's Vista or my printer, computer, OS combination causing the problem but it nasty. I have a card with a screen captured image on it and a series of fields and check boxes that make up a form. The image is a black and white gif that is only about 65k. I have 33 different form configurations in this app. When I first started to set up the printing routine for the app. it crashed Rev every time. So I started removing one field at a time and I got to a point where it would print. If I add one more field I get a blank page off the printer. This was with 2.8.1. So I tried it in 2.9, same results. Here's another thing, when I try to print the script of the app from the script editor, it kills Rev. When I try to print using one of the exercise/examples in the "Getting Started Working with Scripts" it crashes Rev. Now here's the kicker.

Re: Extracting pitch information from sound files
I do this all the time for pitch correction of enthusiastic but less talented singers (I own a recording studio). I use software that is designed specifically for the task but I need to not only get the pitch information but I also have to keep the formant information so that the phrasing stays the same when I change the pitch. If you are ONLY interested in pitch information, your best bet is probably some sort of FFT library that would take the wav file and return a set of "buckets" that would tell you the amplitude (i.e., volume) of each frequency in a sound over a sample period. The pitch is USUALLY the highest amplitude in that sample set. As others have suggested, this is a very math intensive task and while you COULD do it in Rev/Transcript, you'd be much better served with something a little faster and lower level. It should be noted that if you are looking for something more than monotonic detection (i.e., only one pitch in the sound like a single note on a guitar vs a strum of all of the strings), this is not currently available (reliably any way) at any price. Polyphonic sounds get to be very complex. Human ears are much better at this than computers for the time being. len morgan David Glasgow wrote: The subject line pretty much says it all, but more specifically I want to statistically analyse change in pitch, not play it, save it as sound or relate it directly to any musical system.

Re: NEWS FLASH -iPhone SDK event -- iTunes APP store

The way sound is digitally recorded does not have chunks relating to pitch specifically. An audio file is essentially a long list of numbers that describe the changing amplitude of the waveform of sound - this theoretically encompasses all the properties of sound - pitch, timbre and timing. 2/ Does it make any difference if the sound is complex (like an animal call) or simple like a signal from a tone generator? Yes. The simpler the sound the easier it will be. 3/ Are any of the formats offered by Rev easier to handle in this respect? The difference between uncompressed sound file formats (.wav and .aiff for instance) is really only in the file headers - the audio data itself is generally the same. 4/ Assuming standard bit rates, how much pitch data would be generated by, say a ten second recording? Typically, uncompressed sound files store a certain number of samples per second per channel. The CD standard is 44100 samples per second, with each sample being a two-byte signed integer (the sample size). So ten seconds from a stereo CD would be 10 * 44100 * 2 * 2 = 3528000 bytes. 5/ I have settled for post hoc parsing rather than 'on the fly' processing because I assumed the overhead would be too great for the latter to work.

Re: Extracting pitch information from sound files
David, I'm not sure pitch analyzis is a job for Rev... At least Rev can be used to build a front-end for data display, but for sound analyzis per se, you'll be more comfortable with software built for that purpose : just off the top of my head : some Csound functions or various phase vocoders (some available as shareware, some for a licence fee like the IRCAM tool (I forgot the name)...
