I didn't get it with a MacPro with Leopard and a 30" monitor. Just  
filled the screen with nothing and the button - under 2.9.

Even more interesting is after resizing the button I get what appears to be
an offset shadow from the button text, which might be generated by the

Stephen:

Are you using a function/handler to set the filepaths in your stack/s?  What
is the code?  Also, how big are your video files?

The above "long load time" issue sounds suspiciously like an "accessing over
the network" situation (accessing the source from the network as opposed to
from the local drive).  Try renaming some of your content locally on your
test systems and see if your stack/s are able to find the files (of course
you'll have to update the filepaths in your stack/s).

Also, have you upgraded QuickTime lately?  Apple continues to make changes
to the architecture, one of which removed all Flash playback capability
completely, so there's a slight possibility that something may be amiss with
QT and your content.

Significant Rev 2.9 problem handling Quicktime, and slowness

[Stgoldberg]

I’m not sure if the following 2 problems were addressed in the forum, but 
hope that someone can help: 
I updated from Rev 2.7.4 to Rev 2.9.0 and then made a few small changes to a 
stack I had created with Rev 2.7.4. The stack was working fine under 2.7.4 (I’
m working on a Mac desktop with OS X 10.4.11 with 8 mg RAM).   The following 
problems then occurred:

I have a folder that nests both a stack and a movie folder.   The movies in 
the movie folder   are referred to in the stack through the Quicktime player on 
one of the cards. I put the file path to the movie in the Quicktime player 
Property Inspector.   In Rev 2.7.4, I simply left the long absolute path to the 
movie within the player, never changing it.   For some reason, this still 
worked well in the standalone, even when the standalone was run on a different 
Mac 
or Windows (Vista) computer.   The movies showed up.

In Rev 2.9.0, however, the long absolute path won’t work in the standalone on 
the other computers.   I have to modify the absolute path to convert it to 
the short relative path format.   While this method now works in the 
standalone, 
it doesn’t work in the stack itself.   As soon as I create the short relative 
path, the Quicktime player goes blank in the stack (whether using 2.7.4 or 
2.9.0).   Is this a significant change in the way Rev 2.9.0 works?

Not only that, the stack itself now takes a long time to load up (several 
minutes) when it is opened, and so does the standalone, whether on Mac or 
Windows.
Thus there are two problems:
1.   The absolute and relative paths appear to act differently in 2.7.4 than 
in 2.9.0. (the 2.74 way was more desirable since one didn’t have to shorten 
the absolute path to create the standalone).
2.   After working with the stack in 2.9.0 it appears that the stack and 
standalone take a lot longer to open than it did when I just had 2.7.4.   Now, 
if 
I go back to using 2.7.4 to build a standalone on the same stack that was 
altered in 2.9.0, it too is now associated with a long opening time of the both 
the stack and standalone. (The stack is structured as one Mainstack and 4 
substacks.   The only change I made was adding an extra card to the end of each 
stack).

Does the above indicate some intrinsic problem with 2.9.0?   Does 2.9.0 
somehow damage a stack that previously was created in 2.7.4?   Any advice would 
be 
greatly appreciated, since I have many stacks created in 2.7.4 and I’m 
wondering whether or not to continue working with them in 2.9.0.   Thanks very 
much.

Hey David -

I'm not trying to be confrontational here but 5 minutes to find your  
login info (which can be saved by your browser for future trips to  
QCC) seems like a small sacrifice to make in order to log information  
on a bug that is important to you.



Its just too many steps relying on limited feedback and
resources from RunRev - the list is really the only thing that works  
because
of the choice of Bugzilla and the lack of easy integrate feedback  
integrated
into the environment - a Revolution IDE should have "crowd sourcing"  
built

in.


I think that regardless of what improvements could be made to the  
Quality Control Center it is important to use the system that we  
actually have. It is by no means inadequate for the task at hand and  
can be used to get information to the development team on how to  
improve the product. I know from experience that the folks at Rev look  
at the reports and fix them when possible. And their responsiveness to  
reports in QCC over the last few months has greatly improved as well.  
I hope that just because there are some lingering bugs that may have  
the wrong status or haven't been publicly addressed people don't  
abandon the system entirely.


One more thing to add relating to this and the RunRevLive conference  
(excellent by the way) I just returned from earlier this week. I have  
never walked away from one of the Revolution conferences as confident  
in the company as I did this one. There were a number of people from  
the company there that we (the attendees) could stop in the hall and  
chat with about all things Rev. I think 2.9 created a lot of positive  
momentum for Revolution as a development tool and the company seems to  
be in a position to build on that momentum. If you have stuff you want  
to see fixed or improved then I think now is the best time ever to let  
them know about it.

No, I see a stack with a mauve button. Both stack & button are
slightly transparent, but that's it.
Clicking the button changes nothing but the stack rect.

How about adtoptin the 'tag cloud' metaphor that is popular with social
bookmarking sites. The 'hotter' the bug the more prominence it has in the
feedback interface. Hard to ignore something when it's jumping out at you in

I have a little project that uses the RevBrowser calls. I would like to use the

When I implement the BackDrop call I lose my revBrowser window. I have tried 
calling backdrop before and after a RevBrowser call. Is it not possible to use 
the backdrop call and the RevBrowser call together?

The latest version of the Linux engine used to be 2.6.1 (which still 
works fine.) Now that 2.9 is released, you should be able to use that 
one too, though I haven't actually tried it yet. The important part is 
that you use the standalone engine, not the one from the app the IDE 
uses. You can find the standalone engines in the main Rev program folder 
on your hard drive, inside a folder called Runtime. You should already 
have all those engines, since they are included with your Revolution 
installation.


The standalone engines don't need a registration code. Just copy the 
right one to your cgi-bin folder on the server.


Sometimes your scripts need to specify -ui in the declaration line, but 
again, I'm not sure if that is still the case when using the standalone 
engines. (I really need to get cleared up on that; does anyone know?) In 
other words, you may need to do something like this in your text file 
script:


#! revolution -ui

When I get some time (which at this point is dubious) I'll do some 
tests. I need to update the links on that CGI web page too.

Re: CGI Setup

[Andre Garzia]

Hello Chris,

Use your linux version. To install it follow the following steps. I
assume you're running 2.9.0

Step #1: Pick the Linux engine from inside
/2.9.0-gm-1/Runtime/Linux/x86-32/ the engine is called Standalone, I
advise to rename it on your server to 'revolution'.

Step #2: Copy this engine to your cgi-bin folder and set the
permissions on the file to 755.

Ready! Pronto! You're good to go. =)

After that, you can follow the wonderful CGI tutorial by Jacque and if
you're further interested, explore my RevOnRockets package <
http://www.andregarzia.com/revonrockets >

I haven't used rsync Josh, but if it is easy in the Terminal, then it
will be easy in Rev. Just call the same shell commands you used in the
Terminal.
As an example, if I want to get a detailed directory listing in
Terminal, I use:   ls -la
In Rev, I would use:  put shell("ls -la") into fld "Listing"

I see from the man page that rsync does both local & remote file
transfers. Can it be used to do uploads to a web site instead of FTP?
It seems that the web host would need to be running an rsync server
and I have no idea whether that is common or not.

Cheers,
Sarah

The engines can be downloaded from Rev's ftp site:

ftp://ftp.runrev.com/pub/revolution/downloads/engines/

For linux, there seems to be only one version.

As for your registration info, it is not required for running
the RunRev engine with cgi scripts.

> Do I Have to have some type of

I don't understand "special access" but...

Setting up Rev for cgi can be difficult -- Jacque's guide
is very useful -- but not because of Rev. Usually the
problem is either with one's own lack of experience
(eg, setting permissions) or, worse yet, the webhost
company. Myself, I had to switch webhost companies
when a RunRev-cgi setup I had had working perfectly for
years suddenly stopped when the webhost company did
"something" at their end. A tech-member of the company
and I exchanged emails for a while to try to resolve it,
but no go. So, I switched companies.

In other words, part of your learning curve for Rev+CGI
might be beyond your control. So, keep that in mind
when things don't seem to be working as easily as
they apparently ought to.

However, once you do get it working, Rev itself makes it
ofcourse quite simple.

Good luck.

I can't really help you there. I have just used it locally on OS X
computer. I have just taken the engine from my registered copy of Rev
and not had to enter any new registration info. I would just find the
Linux engine and see what happens if you upload it.

Can you upload your stack so I know I'm doing the same as yourself?

Do I need to download the Linux version of RunRev,

Hi David:

I tried what you describe above and I don't get the same results.  The only
thing the blendLevel of a stack *should* do is set its overall opacity --
unless you designate an image to act as a mask for the stack, a single
control shouldn't have any bearing on the stacks appearance.  At least, not
usually.  You may have discovered some unexpected behavior, which could be
interesting.  Would it possible to post a sample stack somewhere to look at?

Any level of stack blend above I think 2 immediately punches a whole right

I agree that the IDE should have live-resizing, but not that
live-resizing should be on by default. I always roll my own resizing
handlers as I don't trust the Geometry manager. When testing, it is
much better to have live-resizing off, so if I have made a mistake,
there is only one resizeStack message sent, not hundreds. Once I know
I have it right, then I turn on live-resizing.

I guess my preferred option would be to have the standalone builder
turn on live-resizing for every resizable stack.

Is there a serial number or License code needed for

That is really a problem. Even though I am pretty happy with the 2.9  
release there are those little things that catch you as they do not  
work reliably / not as expected / not as documented or not at all. My  
special friend at the moment is SSL and I really pray to get that  
fixed. Don´t get me wrong I love the environment (even though with the  
game stuff I am pushing Rev to its limits by now, as the whole  
graphics rendering and audio stuff is falling short compared with  
other environments), so I am really curious what the future brings.  
Rev lets me do cool stuff, I appreciate that, however it could always  
improve.

Re: Defining locals or constants

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Mark,

Sure, you are right, this bughancement should be fixed as quickly as  
possible.


Problem is, there are a lot of such bugs, such as the incorrect window  
bounding rects, non-functional SSL, a slightly messed up standalone  
builder, a broken revPrintField command, the almost-impossibility to  
create custom cursors, incomplete driver names and other problems with  
drivers, problems with serial ports, a failing getResources function,  
problems with copying backgrounds, and remaining problems with the  
debugger.


All these bugs are of the category "come on team, how difficult can  
this be?" and date back to 2003 and earlier. Which bug should be fixed  
first? More important: how to motivate RunRev Ltd to actually do  
something about this? Even the 1.5 year long beta testing programming  
didn't solve this problem. What to do?


Best regards,

Mark Schonewille

Re: PRINTING IN RUNREV 2.9

[Hugh Senior]

Hi Leonardo,

The new print routines should allow you to do this with a bit of fiddling, 
but for simplicity you may wish to consider saving the htmlText of the field 
to a printme.html file (perhaps saved to the temp directory and deleted on 
closeStack), then launch it for the user to print from their browser. That's 
the technique we use for the Scripter's Scrapbook and is, of course, 
compatible with all versions of Revolution.


/H


I don't know if anyone knows whether it is possible to print and entire
scrolling field in Revolution 2.9. I've not been able to do it with
Revolution 2.5.1. The idea is to be able to print the entire scrolling
field, including that which is not visible in the card on the screen. (If
anyone knows how to do it in 2.5.1 I would also like to know.)

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

All the best,

Leonardo Wild

Well, you could do this kind of workaround I learned from Teresa Snyder:

constant WorldConstant = 25000
constant WorldRadius ="[[WorldConstant/pi]]"

on answerTenTimesWorldRadius
  put 10 * merge(WorldRadius) into tResult
  answer tResult
end answerTenTimesWorldRadius

Don't know if this makes it any easier or harder, but just providing an
option...

Actually there's a similar situation with resizeStack - in the earlier days
of Rev/MetaCard, resizeStack was sent continuously on Windows/Linux, but not
on Mac. Now, in order to get continual resizeStack messages on OS X, you
need to set the "liveResizing" of the stack to true.

Along these lines, I think it might be good to have liveResizing default to
"true" for new stacks instead of "false" - otherwise it makes resizing look
"old" on OS X. In fact the IDE itself doesn't even default to
liveResizing=true. This hasn't been filed as a bug report AFAIK.

Opinions?

Re: Defining locals or constants

[David Bovill]

Yes - because I do not want to have to deal with the different situations in
which the handler is called, and initialise the variables properly. For
instance when I call a custom property of an object in another stack, which
may or may not be "open" - it could simply be loaded into memory. In these
cases I want the variable to be initialised when the script is called and
not necessarily when a stack is opened.

Is there really any practical difference between these two:

local LocalVar = sqrt(10)

on openstack
   do  thingsthatneedthatvariable
end

and:

local LocalVar

on preOpenStack
   LocalVar = sqrt(10)
end

on openstack
   do  thingsthatneedthatvariable
end

If you could define and set variables like you can in many other 
languages, those lines would have to run on preOpenStack anyway, 
otherwise you can run into issues, where a handler is called before 
the variable is set.

Re: Defining locals or constants

[David Bovill]

Not as far as I can see:

local SomeLocal = testFunction()

function testFunction
return 6
end testFunction

Will not compile here?

Re: Defining locals or constants

Wouldn't a function do the trick?

That is initialise a local variable or constant to the result of a
calculation. I can use a "preOpenStack" message to trigger a script but
this is not always appropriate and clumsy - is there a simpler way?

Re: "movestack" sent continuously!

[Klaus Major]

Dag Mark,

thanks for testing!


Hi Klaus,

This has been changed in Rev 2.9, to make Mac OS X consistent with  
Windows. The docs are wrong.


And fragmentary!

Did not know that this had been working this way on windows before.


Best,

Mark

Hi all,

looks like something has changed (again and silently) in 2.9?

From the docs:
...
The moveStack message is sent after(!) the movement is finished.
...

But on OS X it is apparently being sent continuously!
Can someone confirm this?

Simply create a new stack and put this into the stackscript:

on movestack
  put the loc of this stack
end movestack

And you will probably see the loc being updated in realtime in the  
msg.


Not a big thing, although we have an "activity logging" (including  
"movestack")
in our current project and this way the log is being written to  
disk quite often

and unecessarily.

This has been working as the docs state in earlier versions
I do not like this surprises, at least not in Rev :-)
