Quicktime is a good solution for cross platform apps *IF* you dont need Linux *IF* your users have administrative rights on their computer (Quicktime is not installed by default on Windows computers) *IF* Apple do not change his license policy of Quicktime suddenly (already happens few years ago) I used Quicktime for Windows apps succesfully for Point of Informations, but i had nightmares with widely distributed CD-ROM because my end-users didn't know how to install Quicktime, or where not allowed to do it or there was some failure in the installation process. For windows only apps DirectX is a much better solution, but unfortunately not supported yet by revolution.

Revolution and Windows : questions and answers
QUESTION : HOW TO INSTALL FONTS IN REVOLUTION ? Few years ago xworld released the EXT.dll from Diskotek. This DLL has a command loadfont to install font in a stack. Apparently this dll is no more supported by Runrev. I gave a try and by me it works well with Revolution 212/Windows XP. Does anybody have a good or a bad experience of this dll with revolution ? It is reliable ? QUESTION : HOW TO DISPLAY VIDEO IN REVOLUTION/WINDOWS I asked this question few weeks ago and received no answer so i had to study that by myself. 1) Quicktime player : that's the basic solution when Quicktime is avalaible. But on lot of computers Quicktime is not avalaible and the end-user is not allowed to install it. 2) According to the rev doc, if Quicktime is not installed, it is possible to display AVI movies in the player. I tried but never successed. Was someone happier than me ? 3) MCISendString. Few years ago i shared on the metacard list a MPEG player for metacard based on MCISendString. This is old technology, but it still works. The MCISendString() function is still in Revolution and Microsoft released in 2003 a new documentation for MCI at the adress MSDN Home MSDN Library Windows Multimedia MCI. 4) A good (the best ?) solution. Altuit released altBrowser.dll what allows to display a web page in Revolution/Windows. But a web page can embedd multimedia activeX. I tried to display html pages embedding Flash movies and it works very well. It means than it is possible to display digital video (encoded with flash), vector animation, panned sounds, full styled html text with tables, CSS, javascript... The big advantage is that Internet Explorer and Flash Player are on all Windows computer since Win98.

Re: Conference Help stack...
Just a note to all Rev users who are interested in using Rev CGI on Linux: 1. revxml is currently *not* supported in Rev CGI Linux engine. I have tested this on a number of Linux servers running Red Hat 9.0 with the latest Linux CGI engine that can be found on the RR public FTP server. 2. revdb/libmysql is currently *not* supported in Rev CGI Linux Engine. This has been tested on Linux servers with RH 9.0 and MySQL 4.0.15. I downloaded Monte's LibCGI and the following was mentioned in the Intro to RevCGI: With the purchase of Metacard by RunRev, Revolution now has database functionality built into the CGI engine. According to Tuviah: Everything is supported, revdb and revxml. The embedded engine library is indeed used for now, and now since RR has aquired MC you can look forward to an english flexible syntax being integrated into the engine. However, based on my experience, this is not the case for the Linux engine. Shishi ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

[ANN] libEmail v1.00 and libSmtp v2.00
Well after many months of sitting around and doing nothing, I'm finally releasing the next version of libSmtp and it's new companion library - libEmail! libSmtp has been re-written and all of the email encoding features that were found in the previous versions have all been off-loaded to libEmail. What's new in libSmtp v2 - almost 100% re-written - more robust error handling - everything should be threaded (wait with messages) - better smtp authentication support and handling libEmail v1.0.0 is a new library featuring all the great features found in the old libSmtp library, but with much better support. All the code has been sifted through and re-written in many places. Support for unicode in headers and message body parts was added in. Why two libraries now? It's not a money grab ^_^ as they are both released into the public domain. The reason for the two libraries is to allow me to give better attention to the one task that they're to do, but also to allow you greater flexibility and choice. What choices? By spliting them into two libraries, you can use another library with either one of these libraries.

A guess is that the Applescript API has changed in OS X 10.3.

PLEASE Put ³tell application ² quote ³InDesign 2.0.2² quote cr into vScript Put ³close active document² cr after vScript Put ³end tell² after vScript Do vScript as AppleScript The result is always ³compiler error² when sending them from RR, when executing the scripts in the script-editor they all work fine. (Of course this is just a very simple script, the real ones are a lot complexer...) This one works fine: Put ³tell application ² quote ³InDesign 2.0.2² quote cr into vScript Put ³activate² cr after vScript Put ³end tell² after vScript Do vScript as AppleScript Anyone any clues?

[Q] upgrade to libSmtp
sorry to put this out on the mailing list.. i've slowly been working on a major(?) upgrade to the smtp library (adding unicode support) and i'm trying to decide whether to continue using variables as parameters or field pointers as parameters.. variable parameter example put the htmlText of field message into tHtmlText libSmtp.customFunction(tHtmlText) field pointer parameter libSmtp.anotherCustomFunction(the long id of field message) obviously both have their pros and cons, but i feel that using field pointers gives me the best results, but am not overly sure from a programming point of view (nor from the view of the end-programmers).. please feel free to contact me off-list in regards to this ^_^ -Sean ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: need advice form Guru - traffic light app (Ernst M. Reicher)
I want to make an application which shoes something like traffic lights in a small window on 5 computers in a network. There is a easy (leasy) way to perform your goal if your 5 computers can access a shared folder. Let each computer update periodically in the shared folder in small text file what contains the ticks and the color of the computer. Reading the file of the other computers, each computer can know if the other are working or not and their color.

A newbie aks how this was done
Hi there! In the absence of a manual (still unavailable) and the upcoming book by Dan Shafer (still unreleased) I have been teaching myself, as suggested, by first dissecting the tutorials and now the example stacks that came with the app. I have found something that would be absolutely perfect for a current project, but as an absolute non code- writer, this thing, which is most like very easy to do, is a complete mystery to me, no matter how hard I look at the inspectors and the scripts. I am not even sure these books will help when they are available, because many of the terms in the scripts can be found neither in the built in glossary nor in the transcript dictionary, so I suspect it was written in a different language (and I am not familiar with any language at all). I am talking about the How to object on the right side of the Making simple soap calls card of the SOAP_toolbox.rev stack in the examples folder of version 2.0.2. Since it is not a substack, I can only describe it as a widow on a card containing a number of navigable pages. This is just what I need, but I can't make heads or tails it, especially the script of the rpcHowTo object. What language was this thing written in or did it come from Meta- or Super- or HyperCard? Is this something someone could explain to a non-code person in a few minutes? If not, where should I look to find out how to do this? (Books, websites, other RunRev materials I don't have, et.)

As I understand it, the command send x to me -- without a time value -- will send the message immediately, before the rest of the handler executes. If a time value is included -- send x to me in 1 tick -- the entire handler finishes executing before any message is sent to the queue. Even send x to me in 0 ticks will force the rest of the handler to execute before the message gets queued. Interesting nuance, Jacque.

Then: Get the url in RR and put it into tXMLData put uniEncode(tXMLData,UTF8) into URL(file: tFilePath) This will convert the data to utf16 which is probably not what you want. (Also, it may be better to save XML data as a binfile -- put ... into url (binfile: tFilepath) Result: ? x m l v e r s i o n = 1 . 0 etc. The second byte is obviously not used in the XML, so encoding does what it has to do, but messes things up. The XML does not have the encoding-part in the header, when I add it before saving there is no difference. Do you know if the XML in the database (Oracle) needs to be formatted or transmitted in a special way by any chance? The strange thing is that Explorer works with it fine, but saving the file screws it up... I'm not sure exactly what you want to do. But if you just want to save the data as a utf-8 encoded file, what happens when you download with Rev, save to a file (using binfile), and then open in Internet Explorer?

LibURL file-encoding question
Here is a nice one... I think I am doing something wrong, but I just can¹t figure out what or where... I need to download an XML-file from an Oracle-server hosted on a webserver. The file I receive is around 800 kb in size, downloading works like a charm... But... When I open the file in Explorer, halfway there is a special char which prevents loading the rest of the XML-file. When I open this downloaded file in Notepad, there indeed is a special char (the ñ in Spanish text for instance). Saving in Notepad, you have an option ³Encoding². When choosing UTF-8 as the encoding and saving this file, Explorer opens the XML-file without any problems... So... How do I download an amount of XML-data from a database and save the file with UTF-8 encoding? Seems so simple, maybe I should get a real job, because I don¹t seem to get this part working :-(( Who saves my life, somebody please.

Re: Linewidth of a graphic not working correct
Dar, As the poster of this bug, I think you misunderstood the problem. Probably I just didn't explain it the right way... When I create a graphic of 100x100 pixels and set the linewidth of it to 1, 3, 5, etc. pixels, the item shows its lines exactly at the size of 100 pixels. Just put a colored graphic without lines on top of it and you'll see they match. When you do the same thing with graphics having a linewidth of 2, 4, 6, etc. pixels, the box you see (the right and bottom line) are moved 1 pixel to the inside, so what you see is a box of 99x99 pixels. In one of our projects the user can draw rectangles on screen, using a user-definable grid. But because of this strange behaviour the drawn rectangles will never be the correct size (so they won't touch each other) when drawing within the grid. There will always be a gap of one pixel between to rectangles... I don't think this has to to anything with me being a newby, or rendering of graphics, there is just something missing in the way these graphics are drawn on screen... The visual boundaries (the 8 resize handles) shown on screen are in the right position, just the lines aren't... Hope this gives you the proper information to solve this, because I still think this IS a bug...

Why must *any* of these be done manually (or, missing widgets)?:-)
A bunch of widgets seem to be missing from RR (even in 2.0). For instance: When creating multi-column fields, why is it necessary for us to implement our own resizable field headers (the ones you find in email clients, iTunes, etc.)? It's a very common field type - surely Apple and Microsoft must have provided some sort of OS-level widget thingy for it? I know Chipp (thanks btw) has a stack that demonstrates how this can be hacked up in RR, but *why* does it need to be hacked up in the first place? :-) It still looks and behaves differently from the one I see most apps use...do they somehow have access to something we don't? What's the logic behind that? Also, how do you (manually again, I guess) insert those ellipses (...) when the width of a column is too small to fit the text? Anyone has any script for that? Do C and REALbasic programmers have to do these things manually too? Seems like a total waste of time for something that is known to be used again and again across so many applications. :-) Any comments/suggestions? Valetia P.S. What about that spinning widget that you see in the lower-middle of the screen when shutting down or restarting Jaguar? I'm quite sure it's a widget that's readily available with most of the other programming languages (I think I caught a glimpse of it in REALbasic one time)... For instance...this spinning thingy also appears in Microsoft Entourage to indicate the checking of email. When I upgraded from Mac OS X 10.1 to Jaguar (which uses a new design for the spinning widget), the design was *automatically* updated in Entourage (same copy)! A sure sign of it being a widget...right? :-) ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

making non-active backups of stacks; missing cursor in fields;documentation
1. Is there any way to make a backup of a stack without shifting to the backed up stack as the working stack -- i.e., when you do save as... the stack you save to becomes the main stack -- but i just want to be able to archive my stacks as i develop them so that if i wreck them, i can at least go back to an earlier working version? 2. Also, thank you edwin gore for answering my question about why i couldn't get a text cursor in my text fields -- and your answer that something might be overlapping them makes perfect sense, since i have a label field adjacent to each data field -- and this explains my fix too -- when i duplicate the non-working text field, i make its layer higher and the offending label is now behind it. and this relates to another problem i was having -- i am creating layouts for database fields, and sometimes physically change field layer ordering in order for the user to be able to tab through the logical (rather than created) sequence of fields. this was giving me problems, too, but they are obviously due to the same effect -- because changing the level of a field may then make its label higher than it, and hence affect its apparent cursor behavior. 3. I know the revolution team is overworked as it is, and like so many other posters, i am very grateful about the amount documentation we get -- the problem is that rev is so rich in resources that it's easy to invest a day in such things as my 2. problem above. it would be so useful to have an additional component of the docs, say pitfalls, in which various critical details such as the one above were laid out. this is, to be sure, true of the existing docs -- the docs present a funny problem reminiscent of the open source vs closed debate -- and i guess we have to consider the userev and improverev lists as our open source documentation. But if so, the runrev team should articulate clearly, clearly in the documentation edwin's trick about googling the archives for searching, and maybe also create a simple taxonomy of some sort that could be incorporated into the more valuable (useful) posts to aid searching. rand ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I should be a beta tester, I seem to have an uncanny ability to destroy programs. Earlier I reported that the ibeam cursors weren't showing up in my text fields. Well, I reinstalled Revolution, and now when I duplicate the field and replace the old field with the new, the new one has a functioning ibeam cursor. Even with Revolution re-installed, the original fields don't have an i-beam, only when i duplicate them -- it's as if there was a period when the field creator was screwed up, and all fields created that time were messed up, but now news ones work properly.

valentina and rev 2.0
Well, I have been working away trying to write a good dictionary program for an endangered language i work with. i have been trying to use the valentina xcmd and runrev 2.0, on both mac os x.2.6 and mac os 9.2.2. so far, my results are dismal, to say the least. here are some problems: a. I open my Valentina database using RunRev's built-in database query builder; the database has several distinct tables, only one of which has a unique primary key, though the rest all have records that can be uniquely identified by field combinations. Now one thing that throws me is this: when i select the unique field in the table having such to be the primary key, and then close the database query builder (dbqb) -- when i reopen the dbqb, it almost always lists None as the primary key, unless I click on the refresh button. Is this correct behavior? Same thing happens with multi-field key definitions in the dbqb: i type for example fld 1,fld 2, fld 3, fld 4 into the dbqb, close it up, and when reopening, the primary key is listed as None until I click refresh. What is going on here? Also, I do not understand why if there is only one database open, RunRev can give me a number such as 3, 5 or 7. Why not 1? Are there some ghost databases open? This perplexes me. b. When I tried to intialize Valentina directly, without using the dbqb, all hell broke lose. I made a typo in the path to the database, and 1. Revolution instantly crashed; 2. opening my stack again, and querying revopendatabases() produced a negative number, something like -412 (followed by many more digits) [i fixed this by reinstalling _revolution_]. When I was certain that I had the correct path specified, and ran the stack in which I was trying to get Valentina initialized, the stack crashed, _and_ the dbqb no longer functioned-- it was hopelessly broken. On my g4 cube running in os9.2.2, I cannot now fix this -- even reinstalling RunRev has no effect. I have checked my Valentina databases using Valentina's built-in checker, and it says that there's nothing wrong with the database. Does this mean that my system has to be reinstalled to get things to work? How could this be? I really love RunRev, think it's a wonderful and powerful potential tool for people like me, academics who need some programming power in their research, but don't have time to learn C++ or some such thing. But I want to write a database stack that I can give to typical computer users -- when the program is so finicky, i really worry. We so need our Danny Goodman to show up and write us a good cookbook, too. I think the docs on using the dbqb are quite good, but they really lack in not giving us a clear-cut example of usage -- e.g., I still can't figure out how you _delete_ a record using runrev db commands, but i've probably overlooked something. rand ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Custom Cursors
P.S. It is working in RR 1.1 AND in MC 2.5!!! So what... So maybe I need XML support in my project so using RR 1.1 is not an option and MC 2.5 is not on my PC... OKlet's get really bloody-minded.. Go ahead, make my day ;-) What happens if we do the work in MC 2.5 and then open the end result in RR 2.0.1 ? Creating them in 1.1 and using them in 2.0 works fine, that's the way I am doing it right now... So where is the bloody-minded part? Just waiting while a tryout version of Photoshop decompresses on my work computer.. T, a real developer not having a full version of PhotoShop? That's a kinky thought... ;-) Ton Richmond Mathewson --- Great Macintosh Products The MacLaunch Store! http://www.maclaunch.com/cgi-launch/store/agora.cgi --- ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Custom Cursors
1. Just created a stack with custom cursors in RR 2.0.1 (Mac OS X) with absolutely no problems at all! Uploading it to contribs page. It seems that this is a Windows (XP?) problem only then... Thanks 4 the effort, will look into your contribution right away! 2. Digs about developers not owning photoshop: some of us are 'struggling artists' and photoshop is very expensive. Of course if Meister Kuijpers is feeling generous he is more than welcome to buy me a copy of Photoshop! Hahahahaha I know it is, but because of the complexity an the kind of jobs I am doing it is very nice for me to have a copy... And if my budget would allow it, I would by an unlimited user licence for all of you ;-) Ton Kuypers Richmond Mathewson --- Great Macintosh Products The MacLaunch Store! http://www.maclaunch.com/cgi-launch/store/agora.cgi --- ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Custom Cursors
Klaus, Thanks for your response... It only took me an hour to find out that your solution doesn't work in 2.0.1 :-( Lucky me, I kept a copy of 1.1, and that did the trick :-)) Tnx Ton Is there anybody out there who can explain me how to create my own cursors for use in Revolution? here, me, here!!! ;-) I know how to use PhotoShop, but I don't see a way to get the 1-bit artwork into RR with a transparent background :-(( Make a b/w image (16x16 pixel) of your cursor on a separate layer, just to keep transparency... Then Save for web as gif, 2 colors, check transparency... Then import this image as an embedded image. Now here's the final trick :-): Open the paint tools. Choose the brush or the eraser tool Click on your image ONCE and IMMEDIATELY UNDO your action! This way that image will be converted to RR internal image-format and can then be used as a cursor wihout problems... on preopenstack ## or whenever set the defaultcursor to xxx ## the id of your cursor img ... end preopenstack I did it before and it works like a charm :-) Color cursors are not supported and the project is to complex to move an image across the screen simulating a custom cursor. Any help is welcome... Warm regards, Ton Kuypers Hope that helps...

Why we have to use RR 1.1 together with 2.0...
There are a few thins missing from the property-inspector in version 2.0, which makes me glad I still have a copy of 1.1 installed... Anybody who knows other things NOT possible in 2.0, feel free to contribute... (and not possible, I don¹t mean via coding...) - When creating a menu, the buttons containing the menu are opaque, there is no way of making them transparent. - There is no way of making imported Black White gifs into cursors, Klaus Major's tip works in 1.1. - Set the grid in preferences to 10 pixels, it stays at 2 pixels, just can't get it working properly (this is really annoying) Any tips are welcome, and I think that our friends from Revolution want to know about these as well...

Re: Is beep zero-based?
Hi Dan, The transcript dictionary explains it like this: Cross-platform note: Windows and OS X do not execute the beep command if it¹s issued while a beep is playing. This means that if you specify a numberOfTimes on a Windows or OS X system, the user might hear fewer beeps because not all of them are sent to the speaker. To ensure that the user hears a specific number of beeps, use a loop with a wait command after each beep: repeat for 4 times -- ensure 4 separate beeps beep wait 200 milliseconds end repeat On 8/6/03 10:38 AM, Dan Shafer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know I'm getting old and my hearing is probably faulty but on OS X at least, it seems that beep 2 always produces one beep, beep 3 always produces 2, etc. A beep by itself also produces one beep. Am I going nuts or is this either a bug or at least a departure from what one would expect? ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Re: Active X support
Being able to call any dll is not enough interesting, the useful part of Activex is GUI component integration which can only be done by the editor. On Sunday, June 1, 2003, at 03:13 PM, Chipp Walters wrote: Just in case you forgot, MC/RR does support the standard Windows code library -- the DLL. Did I miss something? MC/RR supports the creation and use of an external which is implemented as a DLL in Windows. I assume such a DLL can call functions in other pre-built DLLs. Now being able to call functions in arbitrary DLLs would be cool, but I haven't heard this announced. I enjoyed this when I used LabView. I just filled out a little form and in my code was a call to a DLL. In both environments there will probably be limitations. Now only if we could get the calling parameter types and other info. And get them to make callbacks. And Handle complex data. And call across networks. And... Oh, yeah, if only COM, DCOM, Automation, Active X.

Re: Rotate and save JPEG images without compressing again

Most of the photo manipulation tools we have on the mac (OSX): Photoshop, iView, ImageReady can all do this. Unfortunately these tools each have their draw backs for a production schedule wherein one is trying to dispatch processing of anywhere between 15 and 70 incoming hi-res digital photos from a camera in 10-15 minutes time. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
