Re: answer file with filter ???
Hi Thierry, On Mac, a file type is expected, while on Windows a file extension is expected. You need to check the platform and then use the right command. For example, for Mac: answer file Choose a ICS file... with filter ICS,ICS I have put a space after the ICS file type, because file types always have to be 4 characters long. The first item in the filter is just a command, which appears in a menu if you use multiple filters. On Windows: answer file Choose a ICS file... with filter ICS,*ics. A much easier way is to use the answer file with type command: answer file with type ICS|*ics|ICS This form can be used on both Mac and Windows. Note the space after the file type again. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Dutch forum: http://runrev.info/rrforum Color Converter has been updated!

Thierry, As I wrote in my previous e-mail, you should use WITH type and not OF type. answer file with type ICS|*ics|ICS You can add additional filters: answer file with type ICS|*ics|ICS or type All Files|*|* I believe that the ICS type defined as ICS|*ics|ICS should work fine, because the file extension is right, but if that doesn't work, you can choose All Files from the option menu in the file dialog. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Dutch forum: http://runrev.info/rrforum Color Converter has been updated!

I need to be able to determine if the record with the specified playerID exists or not. Does anyone have any idea where the problem is? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Hi Paul, Let me assure you: nothing is wrong, and you're not going crazy either :-) A 'cursor' or 'record set' that you get from revQueryDatabase is an integer number, if the query was successful, and this number is nothing more than an identifier that you can use for calls to revMoveToNextRecord, revNumberOfRecords of revDatabaseColumnCount. In this case, if you want to know if a record exists, use the revDataFromQuery function with a slightly different SQL query. ## put SELECT COUNT(*) FROM players WHERE playerID=:1 into doSQL put abc1234 into anonID put revDataFromQuery(wgdbConID,doSQL,anonID) into tRecordCount answer doSQL : anonID result = tRecordCount ## If the database can't find said record, the result of the COUNT(*) function is 0 (zero), otherwise it's 1 (assuming that playerID is your primary, unique key for that table) HTH, Jan Schenkel.

re-Ordering sub stacks
I've got a project that has numerous subStacks, to which I often make changes or enhancements. Numerous others use the same basic project, and in order to simplify updating their projects, I have the user run an updater stack, which among other things deletes the subStack that has been changed in their project, and adds a copy of that substack to their mainstack, and renames it back to its original name. My problem comes when I then attempt to re-order the substacks in the mainstack. The below script works fine in Revolution versions previous to 3.0, but when run in 3.0 causes Revolution to shut down, and results in the original stack being left with only one substack. If you want to download a test stack with half a dozen substacks, and the button installed in the mainstack, the URL is below. http://ddm.geo.umass.edu/ddm-testReorderStacks-rev.zip I caution you that you might want to make a copy of it, and run that copy because of how Rev 3.0, along with shutting down, changes the original multi-substack version to a single stack version before quitting. Appreciate any help with this - it does look bad to tell users you have to use a previous version of Revolution to run this re-ordering script. Chris button script: --re-order substacks on mouseUp set the hilite of me to true put mainstacks() into listOfMainStacks put the num of lines in listOfMainStacks into numToDo repeat with x = 1 to numToDo if char 1 to 4 of line x of listOfMainStacks = ddm- then put line x of listOfMainStacks into thismainStack exit repeat end if end repeat set the cursor to busy lock Screen orderSubs thismainStack set the hilite of me to false beep answer Done! set the cursor to arrow set the hilite of me to false end mouseUp on orderSubs thismainStack get the substacks of stack thismainStack sort it set the substacks of stack thismainStack to it save stack thismainStack end orderSubs -- Dr. Christopher D.

Re: re-Ordering sub stacks
Chris, As far as your actual problem maybe it is better to set the substacks mainstack property as in: on orderSubs thismainStack get the substacks of stack thismainStack sort it put it into theSubstacks repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of theSubstacks put line x of theSubstacks into theStack set the mainstack of stack theStack to thismainStack end repeat --set the substacks of stack thismainStack to it save stack thismainStack end orderSubs This works for me here with your stack. P.S. Although this may not relate to your problem I wanted to comment: Your repeat loop will only find the first stack (if any) that starts with ddm- so maybe the repeat is not the best way to go.

Interestingly if I handed them to another developer they would compile and work fine. Didn't matter whether I allowed the IDE to find them automatically or explicitly selected them.

Rev 3 Player/Stack Title Bug - Help?
Hello List: Good grief... I'm wondering if anyone can find a workaround for this odd behavior in Rev 3, Windows. Create a new stack. Give it a title, like ABCDE. Drag a player control onto the stack. Hit enter in title field of Rev's inspector, solely to update the title. If you see what I see, the stack's title (in the titlebar) changes to A; the title in the inspector does change. Then no matter what I try I cannot get the full title to show in the stack's titlebar unless I delete the player object. The title field in the inspector and the engine both maintain that the stack's title is ABCDE. This is extremely disconcerting as I have to deliver an application by Friday and the client has already pointed out this mistake in the preview build. It appears there is no way to fix this.

Converting Hypercard Stack -- No Scripts?
Wow, someone was cleaning up their computer here and sent me three hypercard stacks that I think i made nearly 20 years ago! One has some important, still useful data. I just opened the HC stack in Revolution and viola it appears. But I'm getting some strange behaviors that I don't know how to solve. This is basically a little roll-a-dex of card with information about Ayurveda ranging from info on foods, recipes, remedies for illnesses etc. The cards are divided into sections like chapters in a book and these chapters are are organized as sections... The home card has a set of buttons that look like tabs at the bottom of the window: Find, Remedies, Herbs, Organs, Recipies, Nutrients, New Card that goes section. Then each section has a unique set of buttons in a group that are nust for that section Nutrients, Breads, Chutneys, Curries, Liquids, Rices, Sweets, Plate Sample It's a simple ebook... meant to be expanded as time goes on Now we have one basic problem: I cannot find any script in any object! there is no stack script, no card script and no script in any of the groups that will open in the Script editor. But this is nuts because if I click on the buttons, they got the first card of each chapter In those early days I did not know much and I just used a find function to drive a button to a specific card. Today I would name the cards... OK, so I open the stack in Application browser an we see that in the tab buttons under the column that shows number of lines of code in the script that most buttons have 3 lines of code and some have 5 or 12. Again, I did not know what I was doing in those days and would today put all the functions in the stack script. But here's the wierd part... I try to edit the script of a button that shows it has 3 lines of code in it.. either the script editor will refuse to open or it opens and there is no code there at all. And sometimes I get this error: compiling at 7:48:19 AM TypeChunk: can't create a variable with that name (explicitVariables?) ObjectFind Lineput find whole quote kumba quote into the message box Hintmessage which shows that *some* script is active, but if I click Script to open the script. nothing happens. No script editor is invoked, and the script of the button with the offending command is not available.

You could try turning off messages (click the Messages icon in the toolbar) and see if that helps. You could also try, from the message box: set the clipboardData to the script of button btnName See if you get anything in the clipboard. If so, you could set the script to empty via message box, then paste in the retrieved script and correct the errors. Finally, if the stack has so few scripts, it might just be easier to open it in a text editor and copy out the pieces you need. Then set the scripts to empty from the message box, open them, paste in the retrieved text, and correct the scripts. I'm thinking there may be a stray end-of-script character in there somewhere, or something else that makes the editor think there's nothing to display.

Hi Paul, Let me assure you: nothing is wrong, and you're not going crazy either :-) A 'cursor' or 'record set' that you get from revQueryDatabase is an integer number, if the query was successful, and this number is nothing more than an identifier that you can use for calls to revMoveToNextRecord, revNumberOfRecords of revDatabaseColumnCount. In this case, if you want to know if a record exists, use the revDataFromQuery function with a slightly different SQL query. ## put SELECT COUNT(*) FROM players WHERE playerID=:1 into doSQL put abc1234 into anonID put revDataFromQuery(wgdbConID,doSQL,anonID) into tRecordCount answer doSQL : anonID result = tRecordCount ## If the database can't find said record, the result of the COUNT(*) function is 0 (zero), otherwise it's 1 (assuming that playerID is your primary, unique key for that table) HTH, Jan Schenkel.

Backdrop in Media
The forced backdrop when running a stack with the Media player is NOT user friendly, it is downright hostile. It prevents folks from switching back and forth easily from other applications to the Rev stacks. I've tried a boatload of ways to run these stacks without the backdrop. Failed attempts: # fails because the Rev player forces the backdrop On preOpenStack Set the backdrop to none End preOpenStack # produces errors regarding the other stacks There are three stacks. The primary stack, which is the shell, and the two stacks where data is saved. I did not embed them in case I ever want to turn this into a standalone. Resaving the stacks with my Enterprise version and then attempting to run them with Stackrunner produces Can't Find Stack errors on launch. # cannot override Revs built in controlKeyDown commands Got the idea to maybe just let them use it in Media itself but hide the Media toolbars and menus so that they can only access mine. However cannot find a way to disable controlKeyDown overrides that access Rev's menus. I tried creating a dummy hidden menu to trap all of the commandKeyDown possibilities but just typing Control-T for example shows/hides the tool bar no matter how I try to trap for and prevent it. I tried adding a menuPick handler to the stack with the items from the dummy menu, but again, Rev's built in commands get thru anyway. # Hassle if they need a change or find a bug Yes I could take it home, turn it into a standalone with my own Enterprise and bring it back for them, but right now I need to be able to update it on the fly when I am here. If I turn it into a standalone I cannot update it and give it right back to them. I'm only here two days a week and they may not want to wait for an update. The only problem I have with the Rev player is that danged backdrop. It really is unprofessional and hostile. How can someone look at a file on their computer, and then use info from that file to enter it into the stack I've created for them? They cannot. The backdrop makes the Player totally useless in this case. I understand Rev wanting to protect their stuff and make sure someone with Media cannot sneaky upgrade somehow, but the forced backdrop offers nothing. It should have been optional. I am very frustrated.

How to manage german mutated vowel in SQLite
Hi!
In my program I use a SQLite database, to store sentences in german
language.
I can store sentences as rtf-text with mutated vowels and can get them
back from SQLite, everything works well.
But now I want to export some records and reimport them later.
This is my export-script:
put SELECT * FROM Text_table into tSQL
put revdb_querylist(,,gConID,tSQL) into Text_data
Text_data:
1 Text_table {\rtf\mac *CR*} {\rtf\mac *CR*aou} {\rtf\mac *CR*\'8A\'9A
\'9F}
For my import-script I changed the TABs in Text-data like this:
put INSERT INTO Text_table VALUES (null, '{\rtf\mac *CR*}', '{\rtf
\mac *CR*\'8A\'9A\'9F}') into tSQL
put revdb_execute(gConID,tSQL) into tTmp
When there is a german mutated vowel in the value SQLite refuses to
create a new record.
What can I do?

RE: Backdrop in Media
Lynn, I cannot sell them on more than the $49 I've already sold them on. I found a kludgie workaround. I'm not totally happy with it but with that one danged Player issue I had to find some other way. The backdrop is ridiculous. I don't know of any products excepting a few games where the desktop is obliterated and cannot be gotten to. I'm not sure who the target audience for Media is, but the Player should really not force the backdrop unless the stack creator believes it's useful. There is no place that tells you exactly what the difference is between Media, Studio and Enterprise before you purchase. There is no list of specific details, handlers, commands, nothing about the Player, I looked high and lo before making a case to them. And Media allowed me to create exactly what they needed. At their office. On their nickel. And as technically Media belongs to them (and Enterprise belongs to me), I could simply allow them to use the stacks with Media itself, which is what I've done. I'd have much rather them use the stacks with the Player so that they cannot ball anything up or get confused. I put in the preOpenStack handler to hide the Tools stack, Rev menubar and message box. This created a bit of a weird bug where the browse tool became the select tool and you couldn't push a button or menu item or anything, so I had to add Choose Browse Tool after hiding the Rev stacks. But they could still access the development environment with Control-keys and I discovered by right-clicking they get Rev menus. Haven't figured out how to turn this off. Any road, if anybody knows a way to disable all the built in menu items accessed with control keys and right clicking anywhere, I would appreciate it. Once they've been using the stacks awhile and I know all the bugs are worked out and everything they want added has been added, I could bring them home and turn them into a standalone to prevent them accessing where they shouldn't be. But I was trying to use the Player as Rev intended Media stacks to be used with. Shari Revolution Media has this limitation to narrow the scope of applications it can create to multimedia type projects that own the computer they are running on - meaning its great for a presentation, multimedia type game, kiosk and the like, but not so for multi window applications. At $49, Revolution Media is an extremely powerful package. If you want to build more sophisticated, professional applications, then Revolution Studio is the way to go. And thanks to the major price drop that happened not all that long ago, a Media - Studio upgrade is an even better deal. If you already have Enterprise at home - I shouldn't have to be selling you on Studio or Enterprise ;-) Best regards, Lynn Fredricks -- Dogs and bears, sports and cars, and patriots t-shirts http://www.villagetshirts.com WlND0WS and MAClNT0SH shareware games http://www.gypsyware.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Once more I find myself going in circles. I've created a standalone for both Intel and Legacy Macs that plays a number of .aiff music files.

No script editor is invoked, and the script of the button with the offending command is not available. Any ideas? I had something similar happen a month or two ago; a stack that had started life in HyperCard, been converted to Revolution several years ago. Opened in 3.0, couldn't open any scripts. But simply puting the script of any object delivered the script fine. So the scripts are there (and as you noted you may even be able to run) but something fouls up with the script editor so it doesn't open. Unfortunately, I can't now recall what changed to sort this out. I recall that I did what I immediately needed to do in 2.9 (or was it even 2.8?) (where the script editor still worked fine) instead of 3.0. Did simply opening and resaving the stack from 2.8/2.9 fix it (it would previously have last been saved from a much earlier version)? OK I followed your lead... I booted 2.8.1 and opened the hypercard stack. hurray! scripts are now available.. I went thru most all buttons that had scripts and hit tab, placed a space somewhere which I though would force Rev to update it's script memory for each object...I also repaired the buttons with syntax that was not valid current revolution correct clean code; then did a Save As, in case possibly save as a new stack might leave some gremlins behind... Opened in 3.0 -- huh ? Still cannot edit scripts... interesting... but my repaired buttons were working now without error msgs.. I tried opening again in 2.8.1, compact stack, save as again, open in 3.0... still no go... I would call this a bug and the best way to submit it will be with my original HC stack + the converted version... it's not an emergency so I think I will let the Rev team deal with it. On the other hand my overall architecture in those old days was terrible when I was a true newbie... ... each card has his own buttons when it should be a group placed as a background for each section of the book etc... and common scripts consolidated to a single handler in the stack script etc... so I will probably use Jacqueline method -- put the script of button recipes does give me the script and I can copy these to new buttons and rebuild.

Hi Stephen, So you create a path and then assign that path to the players' source property? Haven't used a function to find out whereAmI, but guess a little rooting around in Rev will not be too difficult. That's when I learn new things. I thought the method I was proposing was fool-proof. guess not. If that is the case, what property do you initially assign to the players? Or can you just leave it empty?

Re: Converting Hypercard Stack -- No Scripts?
Sivakatirswami wrote: I tried opening again in 2.8.1, compact stack, save as again, open in 3.0... still no go... The compacting pretty much has to be done in HyperCard, and it's a fairly important step. Some uncompacted stacks won't open at all in any version of Rev, or may open incorrectly (missing cards and objects.) It has to do with HyperCard's file format and how much junk gets stored in uncompacted stacks. Compacting twice in a row in HC before moving the stack to Rev will clean out almost all the junk and allow Rev to see the file structure correctly. If you no longer have access to HC then what you're doing is probably the only way. I would call this a bug and the best way to submit it will be with my original HC stack + the converted version... it's not an emergency so I think I will let the Rev team deal with it. It might be a bug. But it also might be that the uncompacted HC stack was just too far gone to decipher correctly. I was recently turned on to Mini VMac. It's a marvel; it allows you to run HC on an Intel machine (and I believe there is one for running HC in Windows too.) It's open source. It does require a very old Mac ROM and it only emulates a Mac Plus. But that's enough to run HC 2.x and do the compaction. http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/ Now that I just looked up the link, I see they have added color capabilities to it just last week. Maybe it will emulate a newer Mac now. This is another good link, explaining how to install a Mac-on-a-stick. It has all the download links, including one for ROMs: http://www.nothickmanuals.info/doku.php/minivmac I have a copy of Mac OS 7.somthing running HC 2.4.1 on a USB stick, it's pretty neat. Remember waiting ten minutes for the Plus to boot up? Mini vMac boots the whole OS in a few milliseconds.
