When user slides slider, show an image (bring to top?) that

Hi Heather,

A better way to do this might be to use a button with an icon. Set the
icon of the button to the ID of the first image. Then use this script:

on scrollbarDrag thePos
   set the icon of btn x to the id of img (blue  thePos)
end scrollbarDrag

Mark's idea sounds good because it does not reorganize layers but I  
would add a condition to not run the code if it's not needed:


on scrollbarDrag thePos
   if the icon of btn x  the id of img (blue  thePos) then
set the icon of btn x to the id of img (blue  thePos)
  end if

Toggle standard button hilite through a field

2008-08-05 Thread Ian McKnight
Hi

I'm sure there's something simple that I'm missing here but I would
appreciate any help offered.

I have a field sitting on top of a button. When I click the field I
want the button to respond as if it itself were clicked.
The field / button combination are part of a group which is placed on
a number of cards.
The idea is that each card will have buttons in the same position but
with different labels.

The autohilite of the button is off, although it doesn't seem to make
a difference.

The locktext of the field is true.

I have the following script in the field script

-
on mousedown
toggleBtnHilite True
end mousedown

on mouseUp
toggleBtnHilite False
end mouseUp

on mouseLeave
mouseUp
end mouseLeave

command toggleBtnHilite pBol
set the hilite of btn button to pBol
end toggleBtnHilite



This works as expected when I choose a button style of rectangle,
shadow, round rectangle ie the button hilite flashes on and then off.
However when using the standard style, any button label (name) 'moves'
but the button itself does not hilite so when I don't
show the name of the button (my preferred setting as the field will
contain any text) nothing appears to happen.

BTW when I click the standard button directly the hilite toggles as expected.

I'm using Rev Studio 2.9 in Win XP.

Ian

I have found gold in the conference stacks especially! Thanks s much.

I'm in Australia by the way (anyone else from Oz here?)

I've noticed it gets busy at the time I should be Zzz-ing. I don't mind if I 
have to wait for an answer (or few hehe). The answers come when the asker is

Thanks for the kind words: I wrote the Rev Search Engine to help all
and very often it helps me too :-)
I'm really sorry about using 'regex' in my last post but you guessed
it: 'regular expression'.
I'm sure you'll become a respected contributor shortly: you make
really quick progress :-)
And, as you saw it, this list is very kind and helpful.

Just a tip: many of us are not in Europa then posting in the evening
is sometimes a good idea to be read shortly in the US, Brazil, Hawaii
and many other friends places ;-)

Add a 'beep' in your scrollbarDrag handler and you will hear  
continuous beeps even if the thumb position does not actually change:
So adding a condition to check if the image has to change is a good  
idea because without it you'll change the image continuously even if  
it's not needed:
This means CPU use, screen refresh, etc. even if you don't notice  
anything.

Just good practice :-)

Re: Sliders Images

2008-08-05 Thread Eric Chatonet

Here is the explanation:
The scrollBarDrag message is sent by the engine every time that the  
'real' thumb position has changed by one pixel.
So this message may fire several times in some milliseconds if you  
move the thumb quickly.

On the other hand, 'beep' sound is longer than that.
Then if a new beep is required when the previous one is not finished  
to be played, it's queued and executed when the previous is finished.
With all beeps you have heard, it's easy to understand now why a  
condition might be welcome.

:-)

Sorry I was not clear enough:
Add a 'beep' in your scrollbarDrag handler and you will hear
continuous beeps when dragging scrollbar's thumb even if the reported
thumb position in the scrollbarDrag handler does not actually change.

Thanks for making that clear Eric.

Well I just added beep, and I get just ONE beep. Then it's done.

Maybe my system is as lazy and tired as me :-D

So adding a condition to check if the image has to change is a good
idea because without it you'll change the image continuously even if
it's not needed:
This means CPU use, screen refresh, etc. even if you don't notice
anything.
Just good practice :-)

Mark's idea sounds good because it does not reorganize layers but I
would add a condition to not run the code if it's not needed:

on scrollbarDrag thePos
if the icon of btn x  the id of img (blue  thePos) then
 set the icon of btn x to the id of img (blue  thePos)
   end if
end scrollbarDrag

Hi Heather,

I just woke up and saw this thread and it looks like you've received plenty of 
good advice already. I'm a relative rookie at all this, but thought I'd share 
an example that might give you some ideas.

I used a slider in program to help students practice telling time -- the slider 
is used to select the game. The slider values were set from 1 to 4. The 
movement of the slider changed the label of a button that denoted the game to 
be selected. Then on the mouseUp the game settings were put into place.

take care,
randy hengst

Bonjour Randy,

I could not resist...
You could save your time using a more modular code :-)

on scrollbarDrag pValue
   SetValue pValue --
end scrollbarDrag
-
on SetValue pValue
   set the label of button Show and Say Answer to item pValue of  
Show and Say Answer,Multiple Choice Game,Matching New Time,Add  
Subtract New Time

end SetValue
-
on mouseUp
   do InitGame  the thumbposition of me
end mouseUp
-
on InitGame1
   -- hide and show stuff here
end InitGame1
-
on InitGame2
   etc.

In addition, mouseRelease generally means that the user does not want  
the action to occur then you might want to suppress it...

Hope it will give you some ideas ;-)

Re: how to for making a commercial library for runrev (barcode analysis)

2008-08-05 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello Tiemo,

nice to meet you here fighting against your 1000 videos ... and your videos 
against you ;-) 
I hope you still are glad about your migration to runrev as I am in most cases. 

Hi Jan,

thank you for your advices! 
For contacting runrev it would be to early for me I think (I guess the 
RevSelect program would cost sth and in this case I am a Scot in bavarian exile 
;-).
But your experiences with a library stack embedded with start using is in the 
direction which is helpful for me. I did not yet use animation engine of malte 
or your Quartam reports etc. in a working environment (therefore never had 
experience with the license system used in such commercial libs). Generally it 
would be helpful if there would exist a standard defined for runrev commercial 
libs.
When someone often uses Perl and CPAN he enjoys the defined standard use 
MODUL::SUBSET  and my $barcode = .. - new; $barcode-do etc. which allows 
embedding of moduls very easily and makes the design of moduls very clear.

The library stack method is clear. Perhaps the licensing method could be set by 
a standard either ...
Perhaps:

start using  stack PDF with user xyz and password abc and 
parameter=version=1.3;security level=high

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

 Hello colleagues,
 
 I have made a program in runrev which gets the jpg

 phase with permanent improvement it now works 8
 hours a day connecting to 3-5 scanservers stable.
 The project was part of quality assurance in an
 industrial environment.
 In another project (an older one) a runrev prog
 looks permanently to a directory where scanned
 images are stored by a scanner, and moves and
 analyses and comments on these images.
 The barcode analysis is completely programmed in
 transcript (500-700 msec per scan with 4 to 30
 captures of subareas of the image - black/white
 conversions with different filters and barcode
 analysis). The quality of the jpgs is 150 dpi
 (normally 300 dpi is the starting point of doing
 barcode scans ...) where one small barcode line (one
 modul) is about one pixel - hard task, but there are
 millions of those jpgs a month and storage over
 years should not explode ... 
 A test for 128 barcode (possible only with higher
 resolution starting about 200 dpi) had been
 successful, but was not finally needed for this
 project and must be improved for final application.
 
 Now I think about making a commercial barcode
 analysis library for runrev.
 
 Does there exist any standards how to make
 commercial libraries in runrev?

Hi Franz,

As a provider of Revolution add-ons, I'd advise you
to:
- contact Heather Nagey heather at runrev.com for more
information about the RevSelect program
- join the RevInterop group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/revInterop/ to find
out more about packaging and metadata

Generally, I ship my libraries as a self-contained
stack that people can 'start using' and then
initialize with their license key before they can
actually use the commands and functions.

For instance, the PDF library has the API help
built-in as a substack, as well as a separate substack
with demo scripts. When you open the library stack, it
has the copyright information and buttons to take you
to the demo and documentation substacks.

By the way, congratulations with your project: I can't
help but thinking of how one could use this with
Revolution to create a cross-platform alternative to
the excellent Mac-only Delicious Library.

Anyway, I hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.

Question: Did anyone test a runrev 2.9 prog in a Citrix environment?

Franz, I have a client/server system (a university student records 
system) where the database server is in Saigon and usually around 10 to 
15 users at the Hanoi campus. Most of these users make use of Citrix, 
where the Rev client app runs on a Citrix server in Saigon. Others run 
the client as a desktop app with the db connection to Saigon via a vpn. 
In fact Rev 2.8.1 also worked OK with Citrix, except for blending. Also 
using Windows Terminal Services now to manage a Rev app running in our 
server room. Very happy to have that bug fixed in 2.9.

Creating variables

2008-08-05 Thread Éric Miclo

Hello,

I've 2 lists of names and want to create variables by combining the  
names of the 2 lists.


Example:

listOne is:

A
B
C


listTwo is:

1
2

and I want to create those variables:

A1
A2
B1
B2
C1
C2

I did try this:

repeat for each line lineListOne in listOne
  repeat for each line lineListTwo in listTwo
put test into (lineListOne  lineListTwo)
  end repeat
end repeat

and this (though I was sure it didn't work):

repeat for each line lineListOne in listOne
  repeat for each line lineListTwo in listTwo
put (lineListOne  lineListTwo) into varName
put test into varName
  end repeat
end repeat

and some other variants (using the value of...) but nothing is working.

Is that possible or do I have to manually initialize the variables  
that way:


put test into A1
put test into A2
...

Thanks, best,

ÉrIC

Re: Table Field documentation/tutorials/hints/anything

From: Eric Chatonet [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: Table Field documentation/tutorials/hints/anything
To: How to use Revolution use-revolution@lists.runrev.com

Bonjour Gordon,

Le 22 juil. 08 à 22:25, Gordon Sande a écrit :


I was hoping to use RunRev to display some calculated data
in spreadsheet like displays. To be useful I need to select
the data to be displayed in each of several such displays.

RunRev looked like it might be a good tool. A nice programing
language with easy control of graphical output under interactive
input. 2.9 Revolution Media seemed like an easy start.

Then I read section 4.2.23 on Table Field Control and tried
to find anything else. The search command must be broken on
my copy of the documentation as I found nothing else. I did
find one tutorial which explained that this was an experimental
feature as of 2.5 which was both undocumented and subject to
various bugs. Lots of custom properties and arcane addressing
polynomials to select fields with do-it-yourself handlers.

What have I managed to miss?

Citations of further documentation would be welcome. Web URLs
of examples or tutorials would sure help. Any other hints
would also be welcome. Even other solutions to my display
problem would be welcome.

Eventually I will want to control the size of the cells,
the weight of the cell boundaries, the font and styling of
the contents and have the displays scroll in their windows.
Printing is also on the ToDo list but at this point I can
not even figure out how to get any values into a table.
Not a great start.


Table fields are an unfinished feature at the moment, more fields
than tables :-)
Nevertheless 'How to Manage Table Fields' tutorial might help you:
This stack, which comprises a Lab section and an Explanations
section, explains table fields and all the aspects that for the
moment are still not documented.
Fully commented scripts lets you start working with them at once.
You will access this tutorial through Tutorials Picker a free
plugin that interfaces with the So Smart Software website in order to
display all available tutorials stacks directly from the web.
You will find it by going to http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/
Revolution/Plugins or Tutorials section.


Thank you. I had found your tutorial stack with its comments on
the state of table fields in 2.5. Not much seems to have changed
since it was written.

A full blown table is more complicated if one wants custom shading,
custom borders and custom styling for each cell. Then add on merging
and/or splitting and even diagonal splitting and it is even more fun.

I notice that the recent Pages and Nisus Writer Pro seem to be both
more powerful and easier to use than the tables in some older products
so I would guess there are now better models of what is required.

I was thinking of fairly simple layouts but with more elaborate styling
within cells. Sounds like I will quickly get beyond the out of the box
capabilities. I had found your tutorial several different places so
will work through it. Appears to be a good start for my problem.

It would be nice if a full table was in 3.0 but no one has hinted that
it might be coming even soon.


Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.

Just a quick note to let you know how happy and lucky i feel :-)

I went able to test extensivelly and successfully Bernard DP-8 in  
running a complex AI Business Intelligence app i'm developping at this  
time.


All the tested platforms (see below) gived the same very good results  
(stability, speed, script editor/debugger,...) and i don't think i  
will go back to Rev 2.9.0 anymore.


Results of tests in native mode :

- Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4 (client and server app components native  
devlopment platform) : App runs 100% OK
- Win XP Pro SP2 (native client component deployment platform) : App  
runs 100% OK


Results of tests as Sun's VirtualBox 1.6.2 virtual machines :

- Win XP Pro SP2 (native client component deployment platform) : App  
runs 100% OK
- Debian Etch x86 (native server component prefered deployment  
platform) : App runs 100% OK
- Ubuntu 8.04 x86 (native server component possible deployment  
platform) : App runs 100% OK
- openSuse 11 x86 (native server component possible deployment

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce that 3.0.0-dp-8 is available via Check For
Updates on Windows and Mac OS X.

This build contains a number of bug fixes to both the engine and IDE,
and the first version of a new variable watcher, which supports
multi-dimensional arrays.

The bug fixes include regressions of recent developer previews and  
also

some older bugs. Please see the IDE and engine change logs for more
information.

As well as allowing multi-dimensional arrays to be viewed, the new
variable watcher can change variable values while debugging and view  
them in more detail in a separate window. We think that it also uses  
screen space more efficiently.


For those of you wishing to install on Linux, or to do a full install

Re: Speeding up get URL

2008-08-05 Thread Brian Yennie

Shari,

I'm not sure there is much you can do to speed up the fetching of  
URLs, but my two suggestions would be:


1) See if you can process more than one download at a time - this will  
be more complex to code, but may be a bit faster so that 1 slow  
download doesn't affect another. Of course it will still scale just as  
poorly.


2) Assuming there isn't much you can do to download the pages faster,  
perhaps you could look into having the script run on a schedule at odd  
hours when you are not in front of the computer. For example, if it  
ran incrementally downloading pages for an hour every night at 2AM you  
might not notice all of the time going in to it.


Hope that helps a little.

I'd do that in a heartbeat if they had a way.  They used to, but at  
this time the only offering they have is for affiliates, and it has  
severe limitations.  I just got done checking it out and it isn't  
designed for what I need.  I might be able to fudge it and I will  
give fudging a try.  But if the fudge fails I'm back to the way that  
works.  Though based on some math calcs the fudge could work out  
faster... worth a look.


What's frustrating is that there is a way and a whole bunch of  
shopkeepers have access to that way, but newer shopkeepers do not  
have access.


Shari


One suggestion is to send an email to the support group for the  
one domain
and ask if there is a better way to get the info you want.  You  
would have
to say you are willing to register and play by their rules, but  
this could
get all the data you want in 20-30 minutes.  They might even allow  
you to

download one file from their FTP site.

If you are in the business of making more money for them, they will  
likely

help you.  They may already have such a service.

interested my store is in the signature, opened it last December :-)

How do I speed this up?



Shari, I think the delay will be due to the connection to the server,
not your script, so there may not be a lot you can do about it.

I did have one idea: can you try getting more than one URL at the same
time? If you build a list of the URLs to check, then have a script
that grabs the first one on the list, and sends a non-blocking request
to that site, with a message to call when the data has all arrived.
While waiting, start loading the next site and so on. Bookmark
checking software seems to work like this.

  
You should be able to achieve that using 'load URL' - set off a number 
of 'load's going and then by checking the URLstatus you can process them 
as they have finished arriving to your machine; and as the number of 
outstanding requested URLs decreases, set off the next batch of 'load's.


But the likelihood is that this would only make a small difference - the 
majority of the time is probably due to either the server response times 
and/or the delay in simply downloading all those bytes to your machine.  
Out of interest I'd be inclined to count the number of bytes transferred 
per URL and see if that is a significant percentage of your connection 
capacity.


Are you running these from a machine behind a (relatively) slow Internet 
connection, such as a DSL or cable modem ?
If so, you might get a big improvement by converting the script into a 
CGI script, and running it on your own web-hosting server; that would 
give you an effective bandwidth based on the ISP, rather than on a slow 
DSL-like connection. (I have a vaguely similar script I run from my site 
that is approx 1000x times faster than running it from home on a 8Mbs 
DSL - the lower latency helps as much as the increased bandwidth). But 
beware - if there are any issues with looking like a DoS attack, or 
sending too many requests per second, this might be much more likely to 
trigger them; you may also run into issues with usage of CPU and/or 
bandwidth on your hosting-ISP.

Would opening a socket and reading from the socket be any faster? I
don't imagine that it would be, but it might be worth checking.

The other option is just to adjust things so it is not intrusive e.g.
have it download the sites overnight and save them all for processing
when you are ready, or have a background app that does the downloading
slowly (so it doesn't overload your system).
  
On that same idea, but taking it further (maybe too far) - how 
absolutely up-to-date does the info need to be when you run the script ?
Could you process a few thousand URLs per night, caching either the URLs 
as files locally, or caching the extracted data from them. Then when you 
want to run your script, you use all the cached data - so some of it is 
right up to date, while other parts may be up to a few days old.  You 
may also know, or be able to find out, which of the URLs tend to change 
frequently, and therefore bias the background processing accordingly.




And, finally, a couple of trivial issues .



# toDoList needs to have the successful URLs deleted, and failed URLs 
moved to a different list

# that's why p down to 1, for the delete
# URLS are standard http://www.somewhere.com/somePage

  repeat with p = the number of lines of toDoList down to 1
  put url (line p of toDoList) into tUrl
  # don't want to use *it* because there's a long script that follows
  # *it* is too easily changed, though I've heard *it* is faster 
than *put*

  # do the stuff
  if doTheStuffWorked then
 delete line p of toDoList
  else put p  return after failedList
  updateProgressBar # another slowdown but necessary, gives a 
count of how many left to do
   end repeat 
I don't fully understand this (??). What you describe is doing BOTH 
delete the successful ones, and ALSO save the failed ones - so at the 
end, toDoList should finish up the same as failedList. But what your 
pseudo-code actually does is save the indexes of the failed URLs - which 
become invalid once you delete lower numbered lines; I think you 
intended to do

else put (line p of toDoList) after failedList

If you are saving the failedList, then there is no need to modify the

Re: Arrays, recursion and crashes?

2008-08-05 Thread David Bovill
Still hammering away at this bug. It seems something to do with introducing
bad data when deleting an array key. I use the syntax:

delete local someArray [someKey]


When I delete a particular key I see strange chars - probably from binary
data in the field displaying the result. I looks like furrther processing of
the array in this state causes the crash. I don't think recursion has
anything to do with it. So its either call by reference parameters or most
likely simply the nature of the key and the data.

The keys are formed of 4 items - a handler name, a single char, a number, a
long reference to a control. So they are long and contain anything that a
named control contains - though there is nothing strange I can see there.

I'll test with different data, with the same script and then try replacing
these long keys with simple ones to see where the bug is... any pointers
would be great, as tracking down crash bugs is very slow work!

2008/8/5 David Bovill [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Rev rarely crashes nowadays - but I've got it crashing regularly now :) It
 seems to be in the same area that has caused me problems before so i thuoght
 I would see if others have any similar experiences.

 The context: I have an array which is used to store a graph = a linked
 series of nodes. Each node is actually a key in the array, and the name of
 the key is the name of a rev control. The elements of the array are other
 named controls with may in turn link to other nodes in the array (named
 controls) producing a graph. The recursive script walks the graph to delete
 a node and anything that node links to that is not linked by other nodes -
 that is it chops off any hanging branches.

 This is the general purpose array handler to do this - the one that
 crashes:

 on linkArray_DeleteNode @someArray, someKey, @alreadyDeleted
 -- was array_DeleteLinks
 -- Treats an array as a place to store graphs.
 -- a recusive command

 -- do a recursion safety check to avoid infinite loops
 if someKey is among the lines of alreadyDeleted then return false
 put someKey  CR after alreadyDeleted

 -- delete the node someKey
 put someArray [someKey] into childKeys
 delete local someArray [someKey]
 if childKeys is empty then return false

 --  delete any links to the deleted node from other nodes
 repeat for each key testKey in someArray
 array_DeleteFromIndex someKey, testKey, someArray
 end repeat

 -- delete any child nodes of the deleted node (chop the branch off)
 -- even if there are links from it
 -- but not if other nodes link to it
 put array_Reverse(someArray) into reversedArray

 repeat for each line childKey in childKeys
 -- lets work out what other nodes link TO the child
 put reversedArray [childKey] into otherLinkingNodes
 -- apart from someKey
 line_Delete someKey, otherLinkingNodes

 if otherLinkingNodes is empty then
 -- recursively delete node
 linkArray_DeleteNode someArray, childKey, alreadyDeleted
 end if
 end repeat
 return true
 end linkArray_DeleteNode


 Its hard to track down bugs that cause crashes and I can't post a stack as
 the example uses a lot of libraries. Any thoughts?

Fixing the array keys to use simple numeric strings (hashes for now) rather
than keys based on the names of controls fixes the crashes - so the problem
is not with call-by-reference or recursion. I'll try different naming

I wish that there were to tell transcript that when set the

 Richard wrote:
 This function takes care of that, and this far benchmarks about
 an order of magnitude faster:

 function HtmlTextMethod pHtml
put the properties of the templateField into tSaveProps
set the htmlText of the templateField to pHtml
get the text of the templateField
set the properties of the templateField to tSaveProps
return it
 end HtmlTextMethod

 Caution with this technique in that the Rev tags are noted in the
 documentation to only include a subset of tags.

So far I've had only good results with the htmlText method noted above. 
 Not only is it blazing fast, but apparently it accounts for all  
tags, not just the ones the engine generates.  For example, head and 
other non-Rev-generated tags are stripped along with b and the rest.


Also, note this difference between the RegEx method and the htmlText 
method, using a snipped from a list post:


RegEx result:

   put the 
replaceText(myText,quot;lt;/?[A-Za-z]+gt;quot;,quot;quot;) into myText



htmlText result:

put the replaceText(myText,/?[A-Za-z]+,) into myText

The RegEx version also added a lot more white space to the output, while 
the htmlText version preserved the original formatting appearance with 
greater fidelity.


Of course the usefulness of this depends on what you want to do with the 
output.  If the goal is to strip tags only but leave HTML entities in 
place, htmlText is not the answer.  But if the goal is to strip HTML to 
a form most suitable for display in a field as plain text, the htmlText 
method does most of the work for you in just two very efficient lines.


That said, I have no illusions that the htmlText function above will 
work for _everything_ that might wind up in a web page or XML document. 
 But given its blindingly fast performance and the scope of things it 
handles in well-optimized machine-compiled code in the engine, it seems 
a good starting point for a more complete function which would have 
relatively little other cleanup work to do after using it.

Agreed that the htmlText is the fastest method for removing balanced tags.

It is good to know all the benchmarking results you produce.  I save these
since I want to know, and it is better that the same techniques are used so
the results can be compared.  Thanks for the good info.

What I have needed in my apps is the ability to parse the raw html and
extract certain tags and user visible text, then extract the data.  In other
words, 
--  data mining.

One example is several charts of stock data shown on a page.  The column
headers are text that is repeated many times on the page, so that particular
text is not good for isolating a particular table, but in almost every case,
the html tags do allow that specificity.

After isolating a table by using the tags, then using the text column
headers makes sure that I will be extracting the correct data, even if the
publisher of the web page moves the columns or tables.  Now I have the
correct values to add to my database.  Of course I do error checking on the
data values before assuming the page is accurate.

Another case of needing the tags is to test if the web server has sent back
a special condition, such as interrupted, not available, maintenance

Another case is looking for the absence of tags that mean missing data or
incomplete server delivery.

 I guess you are a mac user Devin? The html entity for the euro symbol
 used in web pages is euro;. curren; may give you the euro symbol
 on a mac, IIRC mac roman replaced its currency symbol with the euro
 symbol some years back, but on Windows here I get the dear old currency
 symbol when I use curren; and, in Revolution, euro; just displays
 unmodified, unfortunately.


 Would be nice if euro; worked, I can't think of any reason why it
 couldn't. I've used #128; or numtochar(128) on windows when needed.
 
 Wow, that's really curious, and disturbing. On my Mac, if I do
 
 set the htmlText of fld 1 to euro;
 
 I get, as you do, the string euro; in the field. And curren; gives a
 Euro symbol on Mac, and the generic circle atop an X symbol on
 Windows. All along, I've just assumed that html entities were the same
 across platforms. I mean, isn't that the point?
 
 It looks like the only reliable way is to use unicode.

I'm pretty sure the reason is that Revolution's htmltext was designed
before the euro; entity was agreed. Would have been back in the day
when the mac had the currency symbol at that character position. Since
then the glyph has changed. I think that windows-1252's addition of the
euro glyph at position 128 probably also postdates the design of the
htmltext. This sounds like it might be a good enhancement request since,
in effect, the htmltext no longer reflects the character sets actually
in use today.

Would it inconvenience anybody's existing code to change this I wonder?

call to the do command...limited in standalones

2008-08-05 Thread Hansen Erik


unfortunately, this is another call to the do command whose usage  
is seriously limited in standalones (this has been already discussed).
I wish that there were to tell transcript that when set the  
propepertyname of objectname to objectvalue, this refers to  
variables whose value is the name of a transcript language chunk,  
without using the do command.
I have never tried this before, but using a variable reference (with  
@  for instance?) would perhaps do the trick?

Best regards
François

Merci, Erik



it seems the reply was messed up. The previous post was from Eric  
Chatonet, quoted below:

Bonjour Eric,

Le 6 juil. 08 à 22:38, Éric Miclo a écrit :



repeat for each line lineListOne in listOne
  repeat for each line lineListTwo in listTwo
put (lineListOne  lineListTwo) into varName
put test into varName
  end repeat
end repeat



put whatever into tContents
do put tContents into  varName

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.


(which prompted my remark on the do command)
it was itself a reply to

Hello,

I've 2 lists of names and want to create variables by combining the  
names of the 2 lists.


Example:

listOne is:

A
B
C


listTwo is:

1
2

and I want to create those variables:

A1
A2
B1
B2
C1
C2

I did try this:

repeat for each line lineListOne in listOne
  repeat for each line lineListTwo in listTwo
put test into (lineListOne  lineListTwo)
  end repeat
end repeat

and this (though I was sure it didn't work):

repeat for each line lineListOne in listOne
  repeat for each line lineListTwo in listTwo
put (lineListOne  lineListTwo) into varName
put test into varName
  end repeat
end repeat

and some other variants (using the value of...) but nothing is  
working.


Is that possible or do I have to manually initialize the  
variables that way:


put test into A1
put test into A2
...

I just have do commands that will wind up in standalones
and was wondering what the problems are, in general.

the game and then:


I saw a lil' white rabbit running on the frozen plains of episode V,  
jumping, running...

I believe I saw all of the images using FireFox 3.0.1; same OSX 10.5.4

Perhaps that is the reason?
