So I used the cPanel file manager to upload a small irev script (called putfileviaftp.irev :-) which then ftp'ed from on-Rev to the other servers). As to Rev CGI from on-Rev, you can do this now by just installing Rev CGI to your on-Rev account, just like you would do it to any other server. Yeah, but I'm being lazy and hoping that on-Rev will make that part of the standard intstall :-) It seems like cron and curl could be used to periodically trigger a URL request - which could be to an irev script on your own site, and that irev script could then do any file distributions required. -- Alex. ___ 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

Hi Graham, I use two free products, one on the Mac, a different one on Windows. For Mac, I use Apple's IconComposer. For Windows, I use IcoFX. IcoFX can also create icons for Mac standalones. You could install X11 on your Mac and install Wine under X11.

A quick note about RR Alpha 4 and older forms of Linux
Just to say that RevMedia alpha release for Linux (dp3) does not work on Ubuntu 5.10, but it does on 8.04. Where the cut-off is between 5.10 and 8.04 I don't know. This is really only relevant to people who wish to deploy RevMedia for teaching purposes on fairly old, low-spec PCs. I have yet to see if RR Studio 4 dp-4 can spin off standalones that will function on Ubuntu 5.10. ___ 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: Challenge: to do something like this in a revlet.
Which bit? The one where the ENTIRE site is inside a plugin making it effectively invisible to Google and other search engines, impossible to give anyone a URL leading to a specific part of the site, no way to change the size of the text or select text to copy it? I always groan when opening a page to find Click2Flash is covering the whole thing with a placeholder image. :-( Recreating that purely within a revlet would suffer from a lot of the same problems apart from being able to select/copy text. In case my position isn't clear - plugins should NEVER be used as the sole method of site navigation. Nice animations and pixel art, and a really neat layout swap, though.

How to get a return value from a vbs file?
Hello, following Jim B's advice I want to change the user rights of my program (-sub) dir to be able to write a file with rev to that dir. Creating the dir at setup with the correct rights s one thing. Now I want to change the rights with icacls at an existing dir. When calling icacls from rev directly in the shell I get a return value from icacls, but a standard user may not change the priviliges. But as far as I know, I can't give a parameter runas (Admin) to the shell. So I decided to create a small vbs file (without actually knowing vbs), where I could run the vbs file with runas to be able to change the rights of the program sub dir. Where I now stuck is, that I don't know how to get back any return value from the vbs script file back into my rev, e.g the result of calling icacls. I can't just say return in vbs.

What is really expiring is the active status of your license. While the license is active, you can fetch any newer version (you don't have to actually use it if you don't want to) and you can get an extension of your license cheaper. Once your license expires, you can't get any version that is released after the day of expiration of your license and it costs you more to get a new active license (although I think it is still cheaper than a new license -- I haven't been keeping up with price changes). What does NOT expire is your ability to continue using whatever version you got for as long as you want under the terms of your now-expired licence.

Here is my humble experience concerning Flash v.s. Rev: My second son (age 18) is a student in graphic communication. He is NOT a programmer. He is naturally aware of Flash and I have bought some books about Flash and ActionScript. The result is that he just cannot get it. It is too complicated (and, seemingly, too much timeline oriented). On the other hand, I introduced him to basic revtalk programming this summer. He was enthusiastic about it. But, he was not very impressed by the revlet examples on runrev's site by comparison to Flash. The lesson I have drawn is that a) yes, it is good to see that revlets can produce animations but b) Flash does this very well (better, actually), and it would be interested to have on runrev's site that emphasize the proper strengths of revTalk (the display of the scripts in the demos are very convincing, BTW).

If I'm just asking foolish questions, perhaps someone could gently tell me why, and suggest what I might do (instead) to address the issue I raise.

How would one do this? Is it possible to embed a Java applet inside a Revlet? I was looking through previous messages to see if this question had been asked previously and I learned (a little) about a stack property called the revletParams, but I don't know how or if it would apply here. For example, would one stick the whole string applet code=org.nlogo.window.Applet archive=NetLogoLite.jar width=460 height=280 param name=DefaultModel value=Tag.nlogo /applet inside the revletParams? (And then what?) Sorry for the painfully naive nature of these questions, but this is all untrodden ground for me.

He is naturally aware of Flash and I have bought some books about Flash and ActionScript. The result is that he just cannot get it. It is too complicated (and, seemingly, too much timeline oriented). The majority of Flash programmers don't use the timeline at all. A lot of designers who script in Flash may well use the timeline more. In comparing Flash and Rev, you would want to think about a specific task, then it's easy to show how it might be done in one tool versus the other. Trying to explain the entire difference in philosophy is a bit harder. ___ 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

you could use Tar from the shell or Rev's built in zip commands. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://houseofcubes.com/disco.irev 2009/9/24 Ray Horsley r...@linkit.com: Thanks Marty.

The lack of those things in a site isn't a consequence of it being done in Flash. True, the use of 6-point Nanosquint type there isn't required by Flash. I've seen a great many other Flash presentations which can actually be read by the unaided eye. ;) I would like to know which part of http://www.hybridworks.jp/ caught Richmond's attention. There's a lot there, and inevitably any plugin will be compared to the ubiquitous Flash so it may be useful to explore strengths and weaknesses of each. Ugh, I had a horrible day here: never mind, now I can settle down a bit . . .:) The way the thing reorganised its sections was rather jazzy. The animation, and the sound connected together WITHOUT reliance on Quicktime. The download links embedde within the thing. I have been looking at that website on-and-off for about 3 years and have always thought that there must be a way to do all that in RunRev; and with the web-plugin it is getting nearer, but I am not sure we are all the way there yet. -- The tiny fonts do annoy me no end; especially as the only way I can read them is set my monitor resolution down to 640 by 480 which then screws up the colour. - I posted this because I thought it might be fun to try and duplicate the site as much as possible in RunRev as a sort of mental exercise. Unfortunately as I am up to here with my Sanskrit Thing I don't have the time, which is a great shame as I do enjoy that sort of thing a lot. ___ 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: File Types and Creator Codes
Very interesting Richard! Thanks. I'm finding many files, especially applications, come up empty for the creator and type using either of these methods. I imagine applications don't have a creator and type but I thought a zip file would. Maybe I'm wrong. Thanks, Ray Horsley LinkIt!
