Re: stsMLXEditor, Notepad, Vista, Rev 3
My problem is that in trying to just test how the latest version (from Ken's site) of stsMLXEditor works on Vista with Notepad, the 'test' button opens Notepad with the script in it, but when I save the script and exit Notepad, and then re-open the script again, the changes are not there. Am I misunderstanding how it is supposed to work, or is something weird happening in my situation? (Maybe something has changed with Rev 3). Well, it *should* work properly, but I'll test it and let you know what I uncover. Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.

Re: rev online
Have your stack open and then access Rev Online. Go to your my space and that little message explains how to do it. It is so simple I always get it screwed up too. Here are the details: To share a stack, simply make sure it is selected (that means selected in your my space file thus it is the line that is hilited) and choose share this stack from the Rev file menu while your stack is open. Please note if you want to easily update this stack you need to Save it from your Rev file menu immediately after you share it. Then you can just update if you do not do that and you want to make a change to your stack and post it on RevOnline you need to delete if from Rev OnLIne and use the above to repost it like you did the first time. -=JB=- On Sep 4, 2008, at 6:07 PM, Peter Brigham wrote: Well, after all this time using Rev I'm finally trying to put some of my stacks into my user space in Rev Online, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it.

Re: [Heads Up:] OLED Buttons
Oh, they have finally released this! Some time ago Art. Lebedev studio offered to pre-order their keyboards when the final product was just in a stage of concept. Its good to see they have succeeded. When I saw their Optimus Maximus concept the first thought was that it would be much simpler to use touch-sensitive lcd screen and to display any keyboard on it. One could even get real 3D buttons with a lenticular or parallax barrier screen and a feeling of click feedback via vibration on touch.

Re: semi-OT: can Rev pre-populate data on a web form?

Not sure if something like this is even possible. I haven't done enough web development to know. Is some special JavaScript required to accomplish this? In thinking this through a little more, if we have a web form that's already set up to send an email, can't I take advantage of that in Rev by creating my own form and then sending the data straight to the cgi behind the form? Once again, I haven't done much web dev, so I may not even know what I'm talking about. :-) If anyone can help or can offer any other suggestions for how to accomplish something similar, it'd be much appreciated. If I've understood your request correctly, you really want a Rev stack to collect some information from the user, and have it arrive at your server in the form of an email. There's a simple way to get what you want, I think. Using the SMTP libraries should make this possible, but has some issues, in particular your rev stack then needs to know the address of a mail server it can use from within the user's network to send email. But if you have a web form on your server that's successfully sending email where you want it, there's no need to open a user's browser to view it. Instead, Rev can effectively be that web form. (Apologies if what follows is teaching my granny to suck eggs.) If you look at the source of the web page, it will contain a form element with an action and a method. The action is the address of a server-side resource (a script etc) which receives the values entered into the form and processes it, in this case by sending an email. The method is either POST or GET. If it's GET, then the resource expects the values in the URL string, eg if I fill in this simple form form method=GET action=formmail.cgi input name=first type=text input name=last type=text input type=submit / /form my browser will next fetch a URL like this: ./formmail.cgi?first=Benlast=Rubinstein (the first part of the URL being constructed based on the URL of the page holding the form, adjusted by the 'action' of the form.) Lecture over; the point is that executing put ./formmail.cgi?first=Benlast=Rubinstein into tURL get URL tURL or perhaps more likely put ./formmail.cgi into tScriptURL put tScriptURL \ ?first= tFirstName \ last= tLastName \ into tURL get URL tURL in your Rev stack will have exactly* the same effect on the 'formmail.cgi' resource as the user entering those details into their browser. At this point Rev is acting like a browser, making a request of the web server. So no need to open an actual browser. If the form uses the POST method instead, then it's only slightly more complicated. Instead of get URL, you need to use the post command, which will look something more like this: put libURLformData(first, tFirstName, last, tLastName) into tData post tData to tScriptURL There will be a few complications along the way; you should read the (splending new in 3.0) docs, check out functions like URLencode, and above all, test. But either way, given that you have the web form already, this is probably the simplest route to achieve what you want.

Image File Picker

Maybe I'm missing something here because as far as I know, this is currently not possible using the ask file command and you let the user select a graphics file.

BvG Docu 1.2 works with Rev 3
As the other part of my quest to run Rev on a UMPC, I wanted to have the Dictionary on a separate workspace, and one way to do that and make sure it stays on that workspace would be if the documentation was a standalone application. Trying to create a standalone from the Rev 3 dictionary doesn't work (or won't work without some hacking about). So I checked BvG's documentation tool. Thankfully, it works as a standalone for either 2.9 or 3.0. In fact, I actually think it is a better design - the ordinary Rev dictionary wastes about 50% of the space 'above the fold' (with the 'introduced','changed','platforms' lines), meaning I often have to scroll down just to read basic information such as 'summary' and 'examples'.

Re: rev online
Maybe it worked and you didn't see it. Select the stack in your Rev Online my space and then click on the Go to button. If it worked the stack will open. That means was properly saved by Rev Online but you just can't find it. It will be saved in the category you chose for it but it could be anywhere in the list when you view the stacks for that category. The last time I put a stack on there it was saved near the bottom and then when I deleted it to upload the updated stack it was saved in the same place. Then because I forgot to save it the first time it was put on Rev Online and wanted to make a minor change and put it on Rev Online I had to delete it again. This time that stack I shared online was put near the middle of the category.

Calling iTunes and identifying library
Hi from Paris, For Mac/Rev users only As a songwriter (among other worldly sins), I built a Rev stack containing all the info for each song in our catalog. Originally, I could play an MP3 track of any song from the Rev stack, and also display the lyrics as well, simply by creating a folder with all the MP3 tracks and the lyrics in it, which I built independantly. So far - so good. Then I got greedy and decided to call iTunes from the Rev stack, to play the AIFF track (using a call to AppleScript), and also to pick up and display the lyrics, also stored in iTunes. Even better ! Then I blew it by splitting my iTunes library into 3 distinct libraries, and using the Alt key to choose the library when launching iTunes from the dock. This decision was made because I have nearly 100 gigs of music in iTunes, and I wanted to isolate our catalog. Now, my solution to call iTunes from my Rev stack doesn't work, because it always accesses the LAST DEFINED LIBRARY when iTunes was called manually. In AppleScript iTunes Suite commands, I can't find a parameter for selecting the iTunes library (does it exist ?). Have I missed something ? Anybody got any brilliant ideas as to how I can access ANY iTunes library from a Rev stack ? (the same is true for iPhoto !), on a Mac - of course !!

Re: Text of an image
The lockLoc of the second image must either be false OR the second image must be the exact same size as the first image. Otherwise the image/alphaData of the two images will not be the same. Right. Here's a cheat sheet for those who care: ;-) the imageData of imgObj - Holds the Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha pixel values (bits) of the visual representation of the image object. The amount of imageData in an image object is (Height * Width * 4), regardless of whether there's an actual image in the image object. (You can test this by creating an image object, sizing it to any size you like, and then execute put length(the imageData of imageObjectDescriptor) in the Message Box.) the text of imgObj Holds the actual binary data for the image *inside* the image object. If the image object's 'alphaData' property contains any other value than 255 (opaque), the data is stored in PNG format in the image. Setting ImageData/Binary vs. Visual Copies - NOTE: When you set the imageData of an object, you are telling Rev to *create the binary data* to represent the imageData you're passing it. This has the result of causing the text of the image object to be different than the text of a source image, even if they *look* the same. So for the purposes of the list below, I use these terms: binary copy - The text of two images are the same, but the imageData of the two images are different. visual copy - The imageData of two images are the same, but the text of the two images are different. exact copy - Both the text and imageData of two images are the same. unique - Both the text and imageData of two images are different. Resizing/FormattedWidth/FormattedHeight -- When you resize an image, the visual representation (imageData) changes, but its binary representation does not. This is why an image object will automatically resize itself to match the full dimensions of the image when a card is opened UNLESS the image object's lockLocation (lockLoc) is TRUE. Note that even though you can resize the rect of the image object, the original image data's width and height are still accessible through the use of the formattedWIdth and formattedHeight properties of the image object. Embedding vs. Referencing When you embed an image (i.e. Import as Control...), the image object created has both a visual representation (imageData) as well as a binary representation (text). When you reference an image (i.e. New Referenced Control...), the image object created ONLY has a visual representation (imageData) and has no binary representation at all (text is empty). WORKING WITH TWO IMAGES = Source and Destination are Same Size put img Src into img Dest - Source is Embedded: img Dest has an EXACT COPY of img Src - Source is Referenced: img Dest is empty (or emptied out) set the imageData of img Dest to the imageData of img Src - Source is Embedded OR Referenced: img Dest has an VISUAL COPY of img Src Source and Destination are Different Sizes put img Src into img Dest - Source is Embedded, lockLoc of Dest is FALSE: img Dest is resized to match the width/height of img Src, resulting in an EXACT COPY of img Src - Source is Embedded, lockLoc of Dest is TRUE: img Dest is not resized, but holds a skewed view of img Src, just as if you'd resized img Src to the same dimensions as img Dest, resulting in a BINARY COPY of img Src - Source is Referenced, lockLoc of Dest is TRUE or FALSE: img Dest is empty (or emptied out) set the imageData of img Dest to the imageData of img Src Source is Embedded or Referenced, lockLoc is TRUE or FALSE: - img Dest contains visual garbage, and its size is unchanged, regardless of whether the lockLoc is TRUE or FALSE; img Dest is UNIQUE TRICKS == Resetting an Image to its Original Size/State -- If an embedded image has had its rect changed so that it is no longer the original size, you reset the image like this: set the lockLoc of img 1 to false put img 1 into img 1 This is possible because the binary data (text) of img 1 has not changed since it was imported; only the visual representation (imageData) has changed. So putting the binary data of the image back into the image forces Rev to resize the image (assuming the lockLoc is false).

Re: Text of an image
Interesting Klaus - I'd got into a bit of a habit of using Players often instead of image controls - partly because you can display a wider range of media - and well what's the difference? In fact given you figures it would seem that there are the only reasons not to use a player would be: 1. Quicktime is not installed 2. You don't want the media in external files Or are there other reasons? ___ 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: semi-OT: can Rev pre-populate data on a web form?
Ben is right on the mark with the 'submit a form' directly from Rev, but one caveat may be that your website setup software may be using a pre-fab browser detection script for maximum platform compatibility. If this is the case, Revolution will not look like any of the browsers, like FireFox, Safari, Explorer and it may simply ignore your form submission. There are ways to deal with this, so post a message if Ben's advice does not work out. The browser detection is often done with javascript between the header tags. The browser detection is important for Flash content. Hope your form goes smoothly Jim Ault Las Vegas On 9/5/08 2:28 AM, Ben Rubinstein [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Chris Sheffield wrote: So my main question is, can Rev send data to a web form like this in such a way that whatever fields we specify will be populated when the browser/form opens? Not sure if something like this is even possible. I haven't done enough web development to know. Is some special JavaScript required to accomplish this? In thinking this through a little more, if we have a web form that's already set up to send an email, can't I take advantage of that in Rev by creating my own form and then sending the data straight to the cgi behind the form? Once again, I haven't done much web dev, so I may not even know what I'm talking about. :-) If anyone can help or can offer any other suggestions for how to accomplish something similar, it'd be much appreciated. If I've understood your request correctly, you really want a Rev stack to collect some information from the user, and have it arrive at your server in the form of an email. There's a simple way to get what you want, I think. Using the SMTP libraries should make this possible, but has some issues, in particular your rev stack then needs to know the address of a mail server it can use from within the user's network to send email. But if you have a web form on your server that's successfully sending email where you want it, there's no need to open a user's browser to view it. Instead, Rev can effectively be that web form. (Apologies if what follows is teaching my granny to suck eggs.) If you look at the source of the web page, it will contain a form element with an action and a method. The action is the address of a server-side resource (a script etc) which receives the values entered into the form and processes it, in this case by sending an email. The method is either POST or GET. If it's GET, then the resource expects the values in the URL string, eg if I fill in this simple form form method=GET action=formmail.cgi input name=first type=text input name=last type=text input type=submit / /form my browser will next fetch a URL like this: ./formmail.cgi?first=Benlast=Rubinstein (the first part of the URL being constructed based on the URL of the page holding the form, adjusted by the 'action' of the form.) Lecture over; the point is that executing put ./formmail.cgi?first=Benlast=Rubinstein into tURL get URL tURL or perhaps more likely put ./formmail.cgi into tScriptURL put tScriptURL \ ?first= tFirstName \ last= tLastName \ into tURL get URL tURL in your Rev stack will have exactly* the same effect on the 'formmail.cgi' resource as the user entering those details into their browser. At this point Rev is acting like a browser, making a request of the web server. So no need to open an actual browser. If the form uses the POST method instead, then it's only slightly more complicated. Instead of get URL, you need to use the post command, which will look something more like this: put libURLformData(first, tFirstName, last, tLastName) into tData post tData to tScriptURL There will be a few complications along the way; you should read the (splending new in 3.0) docs, check out functions like URLencode, and above all, test. But either way, given that you have the web form already, this is probably the simplest route to achieve what you want.

[ANN] beta release of altXray plugin for Rev 3.0
Just want to share a tool I've worked on to help make 3.0's script editor work better for me. altXray is a plugin for Rev 3.0. It works best with altPlugin Toolbar. http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/altPluginCover/About.htm It helps Rev in a number of ways: Outside Script Editor - Shows the name of the control the mouse is hovering over - Ctrl-Alt edits the script of the control the mouse is hovering over - Shift-Ctrl-Alt edits the properties of the control the mouse is hovering over - Ctrl-Alt over the stack Titlebar edits the script of the stack - Ctrl-Alt over the very right of the Titlebar edits the script of the card Inside Script Editor - Right click on function or handler name in a script jumps to the function or handler within the message hierarchy-- opening up script tabs if necessary. This is very useful if you use script libraries. It's pretty simple, does NOT change anything in Rev and can be turned on or off by clicking a checkbox in the small palette. Option clicking altXray puts it (floating) in the main Rev toolbar (WinXP) or just docs in on Mac. This has not yet been tested much on a Mac, so feedback would be helpful. To install is, just type into the message box: go URL http://www.gadgetplugins.com/altplugins/altXray.rev; then immediately save to your altPlugins folder. Next refresh your altplugins toolbar (click the small blue arrow on the top) If you don't have the altplugins toolbar, you can put it in the regular plugins menu, but make sure it opens as a palette (or alt-click it after opening it, which will also palette it.) Like most all of our plugins, this is not a *supported* plugin. Use at your own risk!

Re: rev online
I just tried it and what I told you was wrong. You have your stack open in Rev. Go to Rev Online to your myspace. Select share from the file menu and this will take you to another window in your myspace that will allow you to select the category, give it a name and enter a description of the stack. At the bottom click the button which I think is named update. That will list your stack in the field at the bottom. If you ever want to update the stack without deleting save it from your file menu immediately. Then when you want to update you select it in the field I mentioned before. If you do not go to the screen I described after sharing it from the file menu it seems you have a problem and need to contact Rev about it. -=JB=- On Sep 5, 2008, at 2:13 PM, Peter Brigham wrote: Well, that's what *seemed* to be the thing to do, but the problem is that I don't have any stacks listed in that field at the bottom of the My Space panel -- it's empty, so I can't hilite any line.

I *think* the procedure is: open the stack, select share this stack from the file menu, select the category, enter the name of the stack and a description, then click upload -- but when I do this, nothing seems to happen. My stack doesn't appear in what I presume to be the list of my shared stacks in the bottom field of My Space, and it doesn't appear in the lists of user stacks to browse either. What am I missing? I must say, some built-in instructions on uploading a stack to be shared on Rev Online would be very helpful. There is no help text associated with Rev Online, and I can't find any info on this anywhere else I've looked The user manual comes up blank. Clearly I'm missing something, and once someone tells me how to do this, I'm sure it will be obvious, but a well designed app shouldn't leave the user this much at sea, I think.

hScroll pixels
I am working on a stack I have on Rev Online named Dynamic Table Field. Recently I posted it was updated for automatic column resizing. Now I have put some code in the mouseDown handler that allows you to click on a column divider in the field and while the mouse is down drag the mouse left or right when you release the mouse it will resize the columns. Everything is working fine except when the field is scrolled horizontally. I check the mouseloc and add the left field rect to check when I am clicking on a column divider. It is compared with the tabStop settings works good. Then when I scroll horizontally I add the hScroll to the column divider pixel info that was working fine until the field was scrolled. When I click on the column divider before it is scrolled the cursor will turn to the hand instead of the arrow. After I scroll the field and correct it with the hScroll pixels I can not click anywhere and make it turn to a hand. It would seem to me that even if my math was off I could eventually click get it to change the cursor but it won't. Has anyone encountered any problems like this or know how to solve it? thanks, -=JB=- ___ 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: Image File Picker
on OS X 10.5 you get an image preview in the Rev import dialogs! Tested with Rev 2.9 and 3.0. Regards Klaus Major Going back to my original question - none of this works when you use the ask file command to get the user to specify a file. Does anybody have a stack or a solution where you can ask the user to specify a file and then be able to preview all the OS X graphics files that can be previewed from inside the file dialog window? I'm not asking about importing files in the development environment but providing such an interface to the end user in my own app. Thanks, Jesse Sng ___ 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: Image File Picker
Or one could roll their own Ask Dialog in Rev... which would require a recursive directory walker handler. These can be designed for remote or local directories. Several approaches and some examples are in the list archives. I've seen a few that came close to working and looking like system dialogs. Another possibility that opens up when you make your own is that the listing could be a tree with disclosure triangles.
