Message path questions - answers
Your idea of putting the accept further down in the message path is  
what I wanted to do but the documentation seemed to indicate this  
was not possible.

Try it, my friend! The worst that can happen is that it won't work.



When doing investigation of the message path, try the following logic:
Create a handler.
Put the SAME handler in several script containers, such as stack,  
card, group, button, etc.


 steps to follow  --
-1- create a new stack
-2- add a button named catchInButton
-3- add a field named catchInField; lock this field
-4- select both the button and field;
then do 'group selected' from the Object menu
name this group catchInGroup

copy and paste the script into the stack script ---
on catchThis
  put msg  cr  Got my attention  the short name of me into msg
  pass catchThis
end catchThis

now use the message box to 
set the script of this card to the script of this stack
set the script of group 1 to the script of this stack
set the script of button 1 to the script of this stack
set the script of field 1 to the script of this stack

now ADD this to two objects, the button and the locked field
on mouseUp
  put empty into msg
  send catchThis to me in 10 milliseconds
end mouseUp
---

The test is to click on the button and the locked field and read the  
message box.


EXTRA points
What happens if you do the following two lines from the message box

insert the script of group 1 into back
insert the script of group 1 into front

EXTRA points
insert the script of button 1 into front

Experts will understand the answers once they see them.
Try using this line instead for more details

 put msg  cr  Got my attention  the short name of me  the  
long id of me into msg




Hope this helps give someone a method to find message path answers  
quickly

Re: [ANN] Stacks published on the Web

2009-08-02 Thread Bernard Devlin
I understand your concern, Coliln.  What I did was to create a new
user with no admin rights, then log in as that user and download and
run the stacks within the plugin (fast user switching makes that so
easy).   Even if a stack contained the equivalent of 'rm -rf', such a
command would only affect that temporary user's directories.

I'd be interested to know, do you never download stacks from
revOnline?  Or if you download a stack from Richard Gaskin's or Sarah
Reichelt's website, would you type 'set the secureMode to true' before
you did that?

At some level I think we need to trust the other users on this list
(especially those like Alejandro who have been around a while).  In 7
years on this list I don't remember a single instance of someone
reporting that another user had distributed malicious code.

Maybe this is going to be a serious problem in distributing apps via
the plugin.  When someone downloads an app themselves, they
(generally) don't worry about what it might do to their system.  But
when the plugin presents a warning dialog like it currently does, it
might make people reluctant to let the code run, when they would have
had no worries about running an application they had downloaded
themselves.

I don't think Flash apps running in a plugin even have the possibility
to access the filesystem.  I think users may be alarmed by the warning
that the Rev plugin throws up, because it's not behaviour they're used
to seeing within their browser.

Re: Command-line screen recorder for Mac and PC?

2009-08-02 Thread David Bovill
Practical? Yes. Acceptable - maybe not? That is a 17MB download is in the
days of Word-of-Warcraft Patches is nothing, and you could go to the
trouble of embedding the app and installing it from Rev. Given the regular
updates, ease of install, and general usefulness of VLC - it is really
better just to get the user to install it themselves with a provided link
from your app. Support issues are reduced that way.

Acceptable? Well it's not really expected - particularly if you charge for
the app - to make your app so visibly dependent on another app in this
way. So with regard to your customers, you have more of a marketing problem
than a practical one.

AFAIK - VLC on OSX is entirely contained in the bundle, The same may be true
for windows (the Linux version most probably places one or more executable
in the relevant bin directory). Generally it is a very clean install, but as
I haven't gone down the route of embedding it myself I'd have to say I don't
really know. There are no cleanly seperable command line components - it's
all part of the same thing. It is for these reasons bundling Mplayer, or
FFMPEG with your app is often preferred to using VLC. But it's only VLC that
you get everything with (including live streaming and screencasting) - for
which you pay the 17mb download price.

2009/8/1 Richard Miller w...@together.net


 But is it practical to have the core VLC application (and associated files,
 whatever they may be) installed on the users computer, along with a Rev app?
 The VLC download is 17 MB, but perhaps that includes many files not needed
 to actually run the commands in command-line mode.

It's the browser that will do the https for the plugin - the plugin will
just need to pass any additional security requirements which AFAIK there
aren't any as https is basically and encrypted wrapper around a normal http
stream. My guess on this would be that there will be no major issues with
secure https issues and the plugin - it should just work?

2009/8/1 Bernard Devlin bdrun...@gmail.com

 During the webinar concerning Rev 4 I asked an unanswered question
 about SSL and the new rev plugin.  We were told these questions would
 make their way into a FAQ, but I haven't seen any further reference to
 these FAQs.  So what I'm saying here is just my deductions.

 On the belief that revMedia is being made free because it is this that
 is the basis for the browser plugin, I really don't see how any rev
 code running inside the plugin could access a URL using https (since
 SSL is an enterprise-only feature).

 So, it looks like one cannot expect an application built with

Re: Not clear about revMedia vs revEnterprise

2009-08-02 Thread Jan Schenkel
Think of the hassle that would logically accompany three different downloads 
for the three editions: revMedia (neither databases nor SSL), revStudio 
(databases but no SSL) and revEnterprise (databases and SSL).
It is far more likely that there is a single runtime for the browser plug-in, 
but the revlet can only do what is supported in the edition that you build it 
with.
The potential for business applications is huge, and it will be a lot easier to 
build than with Java applet/JNLP constructs.

If this is true then it's good news.  However, since plugins like
Flash are able to make their own multiple network connections once
they are instantiated, I'd be surprised to learn that plugin network
connections piggy-back on the browser's connection.  Since the
revPlugin is visible as an application distinct from the browser in
the running processes of the OS, the plugin is clearly not subsumed
within the browser.

If you're right, then it sounds like providing Rev as a browser plugin
might be even more complex than I'd imagined.

Anyway, it's speculation like this that should have been resolved with
a list of FAQs.  I don't see myself using the plugin, so it's of
academic interest to me.

Re: [ANN] Stacks published on the Web

2009-08-02 Thread Colin Holgate
I have downloaded stacks before, but playing stacks in a plugin should  
just load and run, and not be asking permission to write files to the  
hard drive.


If the files needing to be written are just preference settings, then  
the language of the warning should change. As it stands you could be  
giving permission for the stack to completely fill up your drive with  
large movie files or images.


I don't think that the plugin should insist on asking the user for  
permission to load content from the web. After all, the stack itself  
came from the web, so it's too late already! The way it is in  
Shockwave works ok. If the content being loaded is from the same web  
site, there is no warning, if it's from another web site, the user is  
presented a dialog at the time of the reading of the data, and there  
are three options to choose from. You can see that in action here:


http://xfiles.funnygarbage.com/~colinholgate/dcr/solarsystem.dcr

Click past the first screen, then click on the cartoon looking  
element, and click in the 3D space to make a planet with that texture.  
At that instant you get asked for permission. The actual texture  
doesn't work, Cartoon Network removed that file long ago.


The way that Flash works with writing local content works well. Flash  
can, by default, write up to 100k of local data without asking for  
permission. The user can increase or decrease that at any time.


So, in coming up with the best ways to warn people, take a good look  
at how it's done in Flash and Shockwave.

permission to load content from the web


My personal tought :

Yes, as long as this web contents can only interact with the user  
without any local-filesystem access, but only as inside the plugin  
runnable code and medias.

No, in any other cases.

The way that Flash works with writing local content works well.  
Flash can, by default, write up to 100k of local data without asking  
for permission. The user can increase or decrease that at any time.


But in terms of real ability to fill very unfriendly code to the  
client-side computer, 100 k is enought to kill anything of the local  
file-system and even the hard-disk it-self by speeding it up until it  
definitivelly crash via a 6ko sniplet. So, if 100 k is enought to kill  
and hack anything, both, the Java or Flash security models are only  
non-sense in anything else out of marketing considerations.


In my humble advice, as a real honest team, management and company,  
RunRev know and does exactly what need to be done to protect the  
client-side computer and i think for my own that they are just doing  
the best of what need to be done.


On the other hand, i would appreciate to be able to avoid the display  
of any local-file system access autorisation demand, each time i  
purpose a plugin-app witch don't interact in any way with the local  
file system (updating it-self via post, get, realtime video-streaming,  
video-conferencing, etc...) even if to stay fluent in terms of user's  
experience, this need for me, to be able to save its personal plugin's  
preferences to my own server, instead of in writing them to its local  
file-system.

Ok - their are two things going on. First viewing a secure https page with a
plugin on the page (that is the bit the browser does), second any network
connectivity the revlet does - that's not the browsers business but down to
the capabilities of the plugin. I was just talking of the former. We'll have
to wait till the FAQ to get an idea about the latter - though I've always
felt RunRev was shooting itself in the foot by only including https
functionality with enterprise editions, and doing the same for the plugin
really makes no sense - so I'd be surprised if they prevent anyone from
developing plugin based ecommerce solutions.

I have to agree that the generic warning is a little too scary to

On the other hand, if RR gives control over the prompt to the developer, 
there's no way to police it. The prompt could ask for permission to

An example of too many dialogs preventing adoption is Shockwave. Even  
with 60% of people having Shockwave installed, clients tend not to  
want to use it because installing the plugin has opt-out add-ons, and  
if you access content on another valid site for the same company,  
Shockwave would show that security dialog. With the latest Shockwave  
version you can now check the crossdomain.xml policy file, and so at  
last can get around that issue for using content on another one of the  
client's sites.


Flash security is extremely tough and limiting, and manages to do all  
that without having to bother the user with permission dialogs. About  
15 years of effort has gone into the thinking behind how Shockwave and  
Flash security is handled, so there is a chance that some of what they  
have done is a good way to work.


So, Rev stacks online for your relatives to see your work is fine, but  
for real large client work it won't succeed if every user that uses  
the piece has to cope with security and permissions dialogs, because  
clients will tell you to use Flash instead.

to want to use it because installing the plugin has opt-out add-ons,  
and if you access content on another valid site for the same  
company, Shockwave would show that security dialog. With the latest  
Shockwave version you can now check the crossdomain.xml policy file,  
and so at last can get around that issue for using content on  
another one of the client's sites.


Flash security is extremely tough and limiting, and manages to do  
all that without having to bother the user with permission dialogs.  
About 15 years of effort has gone into the thinking behind how  
Shockwave and Flash security is handled, so there is a chance that  
some of what they have done is a good way to work.


So, Rev stacks online for your relatives to see your work is fine,  
but for real large client work it won't succeed if every user that  
uses the piece has to cope with security and permissions dialogs,  
because clients will tell you to use Flash instead.

Hi Yves,

In remote access mode, the directory of the stack can be handled as  
any other kind of http url (html, xml, txt,etc...).


If you just try to have the server's stack available as a script lib  
of the revlet in following the start using stack n by insert the  
script of cd/script of stack n in the back/front, the simplest way to  
try would be to just use a


1.- put url http;//yourdomainnameserver/thepathtoyourfile into  
myscriptlib_var where yourfile is a txt file containing the scripts  
you want to to run inside the plugin,
2.- and than make myscriptlib_var available inside the plugin ram  
instance in running the command insert myscriptlib_var in the back/ 
front.


Should this be handy ?

Else, could you explain a little more about the process you want to  
set up, including the type of communication you want to establish  
beetwin the revlet and the server stack ?


Best Regards,

Re,
Surely,
I have a library in a stack. This library is not the mine. The stack  
with the library is password protected

So the only way to use the library is to start with

Start using sack containing the lib

If I write
put url (binfile:http://www.mydomainname.com/myFolder/mystack;  
into myscriptlib

and then start using stack myscriptlib
it fails

If I write start using stack http://www.mydomainname.com/myFolder/mystack 


it also fails

If I write on my main stack, when this stack becomes a revlet
answer the filename of this stack
I get an empty answer

So I cannot set the defaultFolder and I cannot pick a scrip tof a  
library


How do I do in this case ?


Thanks.

2009-08-02 Thread Malte Brill

Hi Yves,

you can always make the library a substack of your mainstack. Open the  
messagebox and type


set the mainstack of stack myLibrary to myManstack


This will embed the library into your revLet. For dynamically loading  
and unloading: I want to know that too. I hope one of the Rev folks  
chimes in and give answers.


All the best,

Malte

Hi Ian,

I successfully tested AE and charts in revLets. For on-rev we can not  
use stacks as yet, but in a revLet it works like a charm.


Cheers,

Need, at least, to get an unlocked version of the stack/the contained  
scrpts you want to use. Why don't you ask about your need to the  
copyright older of the stack ?

Hi Mark,

So is this basically a matter of taking repeated screen shots  
through Rev and piecing these together into a movie through the EQT  
functions? I suppose one can then overlay an audio track as well. Is  
that the basic game plan?


Thanks.
