Re: copying icons from other apple programs

2008-06-26 Thread Mark Schonewille

Hi Richard and everyone else,

Looking at the Dev tools inerface, I must conclude it is the latter:  
use of the images, but without a right to copy them physicall to other  
development environments. When I create a simple project with the  
standalone magnifying glass picture from the Media library and save or  
build that project, I don't see the picture included. It might be  
there, but it is not readily available.


I haven't seen any explicit statement, saying that copying to a  
different development environment is allowed. It is very easy to  
reproduce these pictures in your own icon editor, though. I can hardly  
imagine that Apple sees a problem in that.

Les Anglophones avec les langues excrables.

2008-06-26 Thread Richmond Mathewson
Dear Rene, Viktorias, Klaus, et al,

There should be no need whatsoever to apologise about the state of your 
English. Most native English speakers are notoriously bad at other languages.

As a speaker of:

Scots,
really bad schoolboy French,
Scotticised English,
bucket Bulgarian,

and various bits and bobs of Hebrew and Arabic

I can honestly say that I speak from a position of authority in this area!

Forbye on the RR list we should be endlessly impressed that the non-native 
speakers take such very great pains to write their messages in English at all.

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson

Re: Manipulating Raw Picture Data

2008-06-26 Thread viktoras didziulis
just played around a little with this handler on 600x500 image (MS 
Windows XP, RR 2.9, Intel Celeron 1500 MHz):


on  repColor
local myData
local myTimer
local myColor1
local myColor2

put binaryEncode("C3",myRed,myGreen,myBlue) into myColor1  
put binaryEncode("C3",myRed2,myGreen2,myBlue2) into myColor2


 put the milliseconds into myTimer
 put the imageData of img "im1" into myData 
 replace myColor1 with myColor2 in myData

 set the imageData of img "im1" to myData
 put (the milliseconds) - myTimer & return after fld "fTimer"
end repColor

in development environment with paintcompression set to default ("PNG") 
it takes around 635 milliseconds.
If before loading your image you do this: set the paintcompression to 
"RLE" (which is the default in standalones)
the same color replacement handler takes just 77 milliseconds, which is 
~ 9 times faster!


Now if only we'd know what exactly rle format is used by RR, then we 
should be able to do:
put the text of img "im1" into myData 
replace myColor1 with myColor2 in myData

set the text of img "im1" to myData

unfortunately now this damages the image but otherwise it would take 
only ~25 milliseconds.


All the best!

I've read various threads on manipulating the raw picture data and 
seen a couple of stacks like that. It seems a bit beyond my skills as 
a casual programmer, but I may need to give it a try. Two questions: 
would sampling every pixel in a 600x400 image and possibly changing 
the pixel's color be fast enough to seem like a highlight to the user? 
and how would I go about doing that?

Hello Richmond,
Une page d'humour franco-anglaise (franglo) :
Your title : "Les Anglophones avec les langues  
excrables" ("exécrables", I suppose) is a good example of the  
difficulty...
I suppose you want to say "the Anglophones are not good with foreign  
languages" but you have said "the relation of the Anglophones with  
execrable languages" witch suppose you think that other languages are  
execrable... :-) it is not wrong sometime :-)
In good french your title should have been : "La pratique des langues

it is not a very good french, this is better : "le peu d'intérêt des

Very simple cursor problem

2008-06-26 Thread stevex64

Hi all,
This seems as basic as it can get. I have an image on a background. On
mouseEnter and mouseLeave it calls a simple handler in the stack script. The
script uses a switch statement. On mouseEnter I "set cursor to hand". On
mouseLeave I "set cursor to arrow". I know the script gets executed because
I put "put" statements in that put unique messages for mouseEnter and
mouseLeave. BUT, the cursor never changes.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Re: Checking Internet connection on Vista

2008-06-26 Thread Alex Tweedly

Eric Chatonet wrote:

Bernard,

Of course I can't send a GET request (or a LOAD): the software (I 
cross my fingers :-) will be used by hundred thousands of persons (I 
hope more :-)...


I'm not at all convinced that would be a problem. Every copy of Vista 
has the browser set to use the same default home page (probably 
msn.com); every download of Firefox is set to use the same home page - 
so there are millions of users doing a get on one of 3 or 4 highly 
popular pages every time they start their browser. "hundreds of 
thousands" of your users checking once per time they run your app is 
insignificant.


Once you ship more copies than Firefox you can start to worry :-)

However, there is a more serious problem than that 

anything (HostNametoAddress, or openSocket, or ..) that uses a host name 
will try to do a DNS lookup on the host. So you are almost guaranteed 
that when the Internet connection is down, there can be a variable, but 
multi-second long, delay. Even worse, there is a distinct possibility 
that you will get a "false positive" result from HostNametoAddress due 
to DNS caching - any responsible host/domain will give a reasonably long 
DNS cache period, so if anyone on your local network has recently 
connected to the chosen host, its IP address will be cached on the 
Netgear (or equivalent), and therefore it can respond with an IP address 
without using, or checking, the Internet connection.



I'll try what I can get from a simple openSocket but I guess that 
HostNametoAddress built-in function uses it.

That's the problem...



I'd suggest storing some numeric IP addresses, and doing something like
  shell("ping " & tIPAddr)
and checking the output for success. You could equally do a get or load 
on the numeric IP Address.


You could periodically (even every time the app is run - but not in a 
user-visible delay path) do a shell ("nslookup" && tHostName) to refresh 
your list of IP addresss.

Hi Steve,

The cursor changes, but you can't see it. Set the lockCursor to true

Unlock the cursor to see the default cursor(s) again.

I put "put" statements in that put unique messages for mouseEnter and

Any suggestions?

Re: Clearing Dead Groups

Tried all of that.  Like I said, ultimately I succeeded, but it required
placing the group, ungrouping, then deleting each of the objects in the
group individually.  Even clicking on the group and hitting "delete" (and
trying to do it from the msg box) didn't work.

Anyway, thanks again for the input, everyone.

Was the group's "cantDelete" property set to true? That would prevent 
deletion. I can't think of any other reason you couldn't delete it, as 
generally it's effortless.

Re: Checking Internet connection on Vista

2008-06-26 Thread Eric Chatonet

Bonjour LAex,

LOL a bit...
You are right...

Finally I ended with something close to your proposal:

function InternetConnected
  local tAddress,tResult
  -
  put line 1 of hostNameToAddress(the uTestUrl of stack "VTCommon")  
into tAddress

  if tAddress = empty then return false
  set hideconsolewindows to true
  put shell(quote & "ping -n 1 -w 1000" && tAddress & quote) into  
tResult

  set hideconsolewindows to false
  return the number of lines of tResult > 10
end InternetConnected

It's for Windows, of course.
As it sets a timeout, it seems not too bad even if it is not the best...
In addition, it takes into account buffering you were talking about  
and, yes, it can be a problem.

Bernard,

I'm not at all convinced that would be a problem. Every copy of  
Vista has the browser set to use the same default home page  
(probably msn.com); every download of Firefox is set to use the  
same home page - so there are millions of users doing a get on one  
of 3 or 4 highly popular pages every time they start their browser.  
"hundreds of thousands" of your users checking once per time they  
run your app is insignificant.


Once you ship more copies than Firefox you can start to worry :-)

However, there is a more serious problem than that 

anything (HostNametoAddress, or openSocket, or ..) that uses a host  
name will try to do a DNS lookup on the host. So you are almost  
guaranteed that when the Internet connection is down, there can be  
a variable, but multi-second long, delay. Even worse, there is a  
distinct possibility that you will get a "false positive" result  
from HostNametoAddress due to DNS caching - any responsible host/ 
domain will give a reasonably long DNS cache period, so if anyone  
on your local network has recently connected to the chosen host,  
its IP address will be cached on the Netgear (or equivalent), and  
therefore it can respond with an IP address without using, or  
checking, the Internet connection.



I'll try what I can get from a simple openSocket but I guess that  
HostNametoAddress built-in function uses it.

That's the problem...



I'd suggest storing some numeric IP addresses, and doing something  
like

  shell("ping " & tIPAddr)
and checking the output for success. You could equally do a get or  
load on the numeric IP Address.


You could periodically (even every time the app is run - but not in  
a user-visible delay path) do a shell ("nslookup" && tHostName) to  
refresh your list of IP addresss.

I'm a bit confused, too. Are you looking to hack the library routines or

revdb_columnnames() is an alias for revDatabaseColumnNames(), if that helps 
any.
Otherwise, look at the script of button "revDatabase" of card id 1002 of

What Goes in a Theme Pack?

2008-06-26 Thread Lynn Fredricks
Hi all,

After watching Scott Rossi's presentation at Revolution Live, I set my mind
to having some theme packs produced for Revolution - that is, starter
templates that include buttons and other controls that are all color
coordinated, with some minimal visual effects (keeping in mind we don't have
accelerated graphics here).

What are some of the elements you all think should go into something like
this? These would be primarily for presentation style initially. Id think we
need basic buttons (navigational) and various alert type graphics. We
already have loads of audio content to go along with these.

Best regards,

Re: Manipulating Raw Picture Data

2008-06-26 Thread Wilhelm Sanke

Mark Greenberg markgreenberg at cox.net wrote:

I have an image where different regions consist of known colors. I  
would like to fill a region with color at runtime as a sort of  
highlight. The situation does not lend itself to using separate  
transparent png images. I have been using the floodfill bucket tool  
to achieve this, but it is slow and doesn't work right when I compile  
to standalone.


(snip)

Two questions:  
would sampling every pixel in a 600x400 image and possibly changing  
the pixel's color be fast enough to seem like a highlight to the  
user? and how would I go about doing that?


Thanks in Advance,

Mark Greenberg




I assume that with highlighting specific regions you mean

- changing the image for a short moment and then revert to the original 
picture?


Chipp's suggestion


I doubt it will be fast enough for you. Why don't you try using a graphic
rectangle on top using an ink effect?



seems to me a good starting point.
I have found that for such a rectangle a usable color would be 
236,233,88 with the ink set to "srcAnd" (on Windows, on MacOS you need a 
different ink).


If you want to hilite only specific parts - and maybe regions at the 
same time that are not connected - then create appropriate polygons and 
show/hide them.


I have as one example implemented such an approach in my sample stack 
"Image and Words"




Another suggestion:

Change the colors of the image you want to change and save its imagedata 
in a custom property.

Set another custom property to the imagedata of the original image.

Then use a script like this:

on mouseUp
 set the imagedata of img 1 to the cpcolors2 of this card # changed colors
 wait 200 milliseconds # or any time you choose
 set the imagedata of img 1 to the cpcolors1 of this card # original image
end mouseUp

This "highlighting" is instantaneous, but you need to set the 
paintcompression to RLE before (There is definitely no need to set the 
paintcompression to RLE at the time you import the image, the faster 
tempo of RLE will be working any time after you have set it - I think 
this may read differently in the docs, but then the docs are wrong here)


Regards,

Wilhelm Sanke

If they don't include vector sources (preferably in Fireworks format,

Don't you think Fireworks vectors are kind of hard because of compatibility
with other products? Don't you think .ai would be better? Including original
stuff isnt a problem.

BTW, I use Fireworks myself and far, far prefer it to working with Photoshop

Richard,

Perhaps...But, ButtonGadget creates all sorts of buttons in all sizes
without Vector Graphics. It uses a technique we call "SmartStretch" which
enables one to resize a bitmap distortion free, thus enabling Rev users to
easily create buttons of various sizes from existing buttons.

Ideally, we'd use as much native stuff as possible to keep file sizes down.
I have an artist learning how to use Rev right now. What Id like to be able

Parallels mystery

2008-06-26 Thread Richard Gaskin
I have an app that plays movies, and today I'm doing my Windows testing 
via Parallels (when doing a lot of debugging its shared folders are a 
godsend).


This app doesn't use controllers (I know, I know, we'll be changing that 
soon, but there's a lot of legacy stuff in this), using "play videoclip" 
instead.


Here's the mystery:

If I mount the volume to a labeled drive (e.g., "Z:"), then it works 
well like this:


  play videoclip "Z:/Folder/file.mov" at 300,300

But if I use one of Parallels shared folders, the path is different and 
it doesn't play:


  play videoclip "//.PSF/Folder/file.mov" at 300,300

The result says "could not open movie file".

I'm not sure what the trouble is, since everything else in the program 
works, and there's a lot of stuff happening with paths to multiple stack 
files, libraries, etc.


Why does QT choke on .PSF?  Is there a workaround I can do in script, or 
must we avoid drives networked in that fashion?

Is the problem with Rev or QT? Can you play the movie in QT Player and
can you open a text file form the .PSF folder?

This is a just a wild guess, but what happens if you convert the file
name using shortFilePath() or longFilePath()?
This might just re-arrange it in some way so that Rev/QT can work it out.

"PSF" is Parallels-speak for "Parallels Shared Folder" and isn't a valid 
volume name in either OS. I'm guessing that Parallels is probably 
managing that name internally behind Windows' (and Rev's) back. There's 
should also be a volume letter name that Windows does recognize (mine is 
usually "Z") and that works.

Re: Problem with send command???

2008-06-26 Thread Mark Smith
These are two handlers I use to send data between client and server  
in an app of mine, but might serve well enough for passing data  
around in those situations where you can't use arrays without trouble.


function serializeArray pArray
  repeat for each line L in keys(pArray)
put L & "=" &  urlencode(pArray[L]) & cr after cArray
  end repeat
  delete char -1 of cArray
  return base64encode(compress(cArray))
end serializeArray

function unserializeArray pSerializedArray
  put decompress(base64decode(pSerializedArray)) into tArray
  split tArray by cr and "="
  repeat for each line L in keys(tArray)
put urlDecode(tArray[L]) into tArray[L]
  end repeat
  return tArray
end unserializeArray

It's not very efficient in terms of data size for small arrays, but  
it's made things easy for the way I like to package up data (I use  
arrays a lot) to send to and from the server (running rev cgis).


Best,

Mark

I think this issue is specific to QT; Rev seems to be handling 
everything well, reading and writing text files and stacks with no 
problem.  It's only when we try to play videoclips that QT chokes.



This is a just a wild guess, but what happens if you convert the file
name using shortFilePath() or longFilePath()?
This might just re-arrange it in some way so that Rev/QT can work it out.


The file names are pretty short.  shortFilePath returns the same path I 
have, and longFilePath return empty.


This seems to be a problem with QT not playing well with Parallels 
shared folders.

I notice the recent post about 'Sorting by ValueList and synchronized

For the sake of future Revers I think the finalised optimised script and

Richard or Ken for the job ;-)

Hugh introduced the topic, so maybe he should conclude it.
Richard struggled to get his head around how it actually did it's thing, so
maybe he's in the best position to explain to others exactly the whys and

Ken seemed to be on top of it and had extra tips for reference.

Maybe you could give one of them a gently nudge ;-)

It's valid for Rev:  You can access a shared folder in Parallels and 
read and write files, load libraries, pretty much anything you can do 
with that folder as a mapped drive, and Rev handles it all like a champ.


It's only QT that's broken.  But hey, Apple makes a competing product to 
Parallels, so maybe it's no an accident. ;)


We don't have any customers using our product under Parallels, and for 
my own testing it's just as easy to open the mapped volume as it is to 
open the shared folder (which I suppose raises the question about why 
Parallels bothers with their odd scheme), so at this point it's just a 
curiosity.


If nothing else it's nice to see that Rev can handle a greater variety 
of file paths than even Apple can.

I use similar serialize/unserialize handlers and the other day I was  
left scratching my head when some arrays ended up with weird data and  
incorrect keys. I use ":" rather than "=" when serializing and I had

":" on each line which messed everything up. So now I urlencode the

The 'send' command has some difficulties since it first tries to interpret
the string expression of the task you wish to execute.  If the string
contains variable names, then Rev does the best it can to 'do what you mean'

The same variability arises when using the 'do' command.

Caution: this is not really a new user topic, but read on.

Using encoding will help this, but you need to consider what other
characters besides the comma could also be considered 'control or delimiter'
characters.

Passing by reference rather than variable name also works in many cases.
This way you are not passing the data, but a pointer to the memory location
of the data.  { see below for a post from 2005 and a question asked by Mark
Wieder and answered by Trevor}

Of course using custom properties would mean you are not passing any data,
but storing it, then accessing it from another handler.  I showed an example
of this in a previous email.

Another level of complexity occurs if you are trying to use the send command
to store data in a database (such as MySQL).  Not all characters can be
stored directly since the data tables have to have some sort of delimiter,
slashes in particular.

Try stuffing the values you want to send into variables and then do

get the long id of field "xyz"

What you have above will work.  The array is passed by reference all
the way down the line. In both cases you are passing the array by
reference.  I do this in libraries all of the time.

If you specifically add quotation marks around the parameters, it 
arrives as one piece. You may have to use the "value" function to get 
the quotes off in the receiving handler. Something like this:


on test
  put "one,two,three" into tParams
  send "paramNumber" &"e& tParams & quote to me in 1
end test

on paramNumber pParams
  put the paramcount -- gives one
  put the value of pParams into tVar -- 1,2,3
end paramNumber

2008-06-26 Thread Peter Alcibiades
