Re: Drag and Drop to Item in List Field

2010-11-18 Thread Bill Vlahos
Getting closer now.

If I put the following script in the source list field the correct text is sent 
in the drag.
on mouseDown
   set the dragData["text"] to the selectedText
end mouseDown

Target field script hilites the correct line in the list
on dragMove
  set the hilitedLines of me to (word 2 of the mouseLine)
end dragMove

However, if I also put this script in the target field script nothing happens:
on dragDrop
   put the dragData["text"]
   pass dragDrop
end dragDrop

What I need is the dragged text and the target field line. I believe I can only 
get that from the target field not the source field but I can't figure out how.

Re: Drag and Drop to Item in List Field

Terry and Marty,

Thanks for the suggestions. They both work.

Since this is a drag and drop scenario this script looks like it does what I 
want.
on dragMove
   set the hilitedLines of me to (word 2 of the mouseLine)
end dragMove

Re: Drag and Drop to Item in List Field

2010-11-16 Thread Bill Vlahos
The following script works very well with one problem. This script hilites the 
line correctly but just keeps hiliting lines as I move the mouse around and 
they stay hilited.

Make a scrolling field with some lines of text and put this handler in it:

on mouseWithin
   set the backgroundColor of the mouseLine to "yellow"
end mouseWithin

How do I have it only hilite one line at a time?

I have a school district having trouble getting the audio record feature in run 
rev to work. They are using the last current player to run software I have 
developed for students with disabilities. I will be meeting with the tech 
people this afternoon. They tell me the programs work fine in the admin mode 
but not their student mode. I have tried GarageBand and iMovie in the student 
mode and they both record audio fine. Any suggestions as to what to ask them or 
where to start debugging this?  The software is atwww.billziegler.com. "just 
say it" is one of the programs that has trouble.

Create button script won't work - why?

2010-11-14 Thread Bill Vlahos
Make a new stack called "Test" and label the card "One".

Put a button on the card with the following script:
on mouseUp
   create button "Fred" in card "One" of stack "Test"
end mouseUp

The compiler doesn't complain but when I click the button I get this error:
button "Button": execution error at line 2 (create: error in bad parent or 
background expression), char 1

The following script works:
on mouseUp
   put the defaultStack into vName -- note whatever the defaultStack is
   set the defaultStack to "Test"
   go to card "One"
   create button "Fred"
   set the defaultStack to vName -- reset the defaultStack to what it was before
end mouseUp

Is there a way to directly create a button on a particular card in a particular 
stack without going to it and doing all this? The stack I want to create the 
button into is data stack that never gets viewed directly. In this case it will 
be data in the custom property of that button.

Thanks,

Drag and Drop to Item in List Field

I have a list of categories and I want to drag and drop some text from a list 
field onto one of the categories in the target list field. The line of text 
should hilite on the drag (before the drop) so I know which item it is going to 
I should drag into.

I can get most of the coding for drag and drop but there are some things I 
don't know.
1. How do I hilite the line of text in the list field the mouse is over?
2. How do I get the line of text in the target list field when the users drops 
the mouse?

Stack scroll bars to fit small screen

2010-11-07 Thread Bill Vlahos
InfoWallet now requires 1024 x 768 which is fine for all monitors these days 
except for NetBooks which typically have a resolution of 1024 x 600 and 
sometimes smaller. It would be difficult to squeeze everything to fit in that 
size window.

How can I make the application window scroll (i.e. add scroll bars) if the 
window size became smaller than 1024 x 768?

Lots of other applications do this. Word processors and web browsers just to 
name two.

Re: Rev as Linux Shell Script

Yes.  However, I'm still having to work with 'non-rev' syntax (learning how 
cURL works).  As it turns out, I already know most of it (bash'ing for so 
long), but that knowledge of how to use cURL or shell out to any other Unix 
shell command (awk, sed, etc.) really won't translate over to Rev if I want to 
use it as my primary development tool.  For example, if I want to FTP a file 
from a LiveCode project developed for use on Windows, then I would be better 
off using libURL.  (Yes, I know cURL could be installed on Win, but I'm wanting 
to simplify things) So, I've got to not only work with all the Unix tools while 
developing at the 'shell' level, I've also got to learn all the LiveCode ways 
of doing the same task.  That is what I am doing, I was just hoping to to use 
Rev at the shell level (since most of my work is done there) in order to get 
more proficient with the Rev/LiveCode syntax.  Kill two birds with one stone!

So, the short answer is: "No, Rev will not work well as a shell scripting 
language 'out of the box'"

I've used PHP to do 'shell utilities', I sure wish Rev could act similar.  How 
nice would it be to just have one language/syntax for the bulk of your code.

Thanks to all

Rev as Linux Shell Script

2010-10-28 Thread Bill Andersen
I'm sorry this is so long winded.  I'm hoping it will help you understand my 
motivation...

I am a necessity programer.  I don't sell my programs, I program as a systems 
analyst to achieve results for my employer.

I have developed fairly complex solutions in FileMaker and I can program in VB, 
Lua and I've even written a few "C" utilities (Text manipulation).
I've written with PHP and Perl for web.  And, as part of my job, I have to 
create reports from a legacy Cobol system using ODBC and Linux shell scripting.

The problem is, I really don't know any one of these programming languages 
"fluently" :)

When I switch between them (sometimes within the same day), I'm always having 
to get out a book and refresh my memory about certain syntax.  Sure, I can 
remember most of the basics of program flow (If, then, else) between each one, 
but even then I sometimes type it wrong and have to go back and edit after it 
gets an error.

SO, I thought I would try finding a language I can can call the "one 
programming language I'll ever need".  Along comes Rev (a couple of years ago 
for me) and I really felt like it would be a good candidate.  I can program for 
Mac, Win, Web, Linux, Mobile devices... you guys know all that.

However, a CONSIDERABLE amount of my programming is in Unix Shell script.  We 
have a legacy accounting system running on SCO Openserver (We are changing over 
to Linux in 2011).  I have a full EDI interface to one of our suppliers written 
in "bash" shell script AND I NEED it to be a shell type process in order for it 
to work for me. (nightly cron, headless computer, etc.)

SO!!!  The 'last' feature of Rev/LiveCode I need to be able to address is the 
ability to run LIKE a Linux shell script.

I've read how to get the runtime working as a CGI and played around enough that 
I 'can' (seemingly) make it work from a shell with the "#!revolution -ui" 
declaration on the first line.  However, when I get to some of the higher level 
features (FTP, ODBC, etc) I start getting errors.  I was researching how to 
possibly resolve these issues (need libraries, etc) when I found that Rev 3.5 
is the last version to support the ability to run as a CGI.

Now, my questions...

1) Am I dreaming?  Should I just move to Perl or something else and forget 
about Rev as a shell language?

2) I know LiveCode 4.5 can't do the CGI.  Would it work for a shell script 
(some UI/Graphical features obviously not available)

3) If so, can someone point me to some documentation on how to set it up 
correctly.

4) My first test was to try FTPing a file (needed for EDI) and I get errors 
when it can't locate libURLftpUploadFile.
   Where is this library and where "should" I put it on the Linux box?

5) I've got an Enterprise License.  Is this in violation of my license in any 
way?

Thanks

Bill

on-rev database help

2010-10-16 Thread Bill Ziegler
I'm not even sure if I'm asking the question correctly.

I've made a simple time tracking database for my colleagues. Dates, fill-ins, 
drop downs etc. I'm not using any of the sophisticated Rev DB tools or SQL. I 
am just saving each collection of responses in separate fields. I also have a 
button that exports as a text file all info with records on separate lines, 
commas between items. Each teacher keeps their own stack on their laptop. When 
our supervisor needs to do a report for the school districts, each of the 13 
teacher/consultants will generate the data-text file and send it to her. She 
will then import each text file into excel to do her sorts and reports.

Every time she needs to do an update, she'll need to ask us to send our latest 
data and create a new excel to keep the data correct. I do have an on-rev 
server account. I did attend and have the dvds for rev-live Las Vegas. I do own 
the DVDs from the On-Rev Edinburgh conference, but haven't had time to watch 
them yet. I know RunRev/Live Code fairly well. I do not know SQL.

Questions

1. Can I put my existing stack on my on-rev server account for multiple people 
to use at one time?

2. Can I put my existing stack on our school server for multiple people to use 
at one time?

3. Am i up-that-creek for not knowing SQL?

4. If (I) and (2) are possible with or without SQL what's my best option to 
learn how to do whatever I'll need to do.

Thanks,

 Bill

seen much reporting of this lately. Are Rev based apps still getting  
flagged by Norton or did Norton get its act together?


I registered the problem with Norton but never got any response from  
them.

Re: Death of Versiontracker

2010-09-08 Thread Bill Vlahos
Safari doesn't work. You have to use Firefox.

I agree this isn't new. They have been integrated for a while. When I first 
published InfoWallet it made it to the Mac site immediately. The Windows 
version had to go through CNET and took forever.

The guy who did the Mac side was the guy who did VersionTracker. He was 
terrific.

Do frontscripts need to be set up in the standalone or can they be established

I can do the former but I can't seem to set a frontscript from a stack launched

Re: MacBook core i7 : a real powerfull laptop or a sadly build toy ?

2010-08-01 Thread Bill Vlahos
This doesn't match my experience at all.

I have a 15" i7 MacBook Pro with a solid state drive as my primary computer 
running lots of programs at once. I'm routinely using multiple cores and I 
don't have any heat problems. In fact, I have in on a base with a fan and it 
runs so cool I don't even have the fans running. This is the quietest and 
coolest Mac laptop I've had in a long time. The solid state drive is eerily 
quiet and I'm guessing one of the reasons it is running so cool.

This isn't a server but I run it pretty hard.

Re: How can I direct revGoURL to a specific browser?

2010-07-24 Thread Bill Vlahos
OK. I wasn't specific about all the details because it wasn't material to the 
question but since people keep trying to solve the wrong problem I will now say 
the whole story.

A company I work at has this terrible time card software program. For some 
inexplicable reason this web page actually opens a popup window after you 
authenticate. This means that the user has to turn popup blocking OFF.

The software has only been certified for IE on Windows but in our testing it 
actually works in Firefox and Safari too. Our users have popup blocking already 
turned OFF for IE. To make life easier for other browsers we recently added 
code to the page that tests for popup blocking.

My program is a reminder application that launches a URL to whatever the 
default browser is. The URL works perfectly for IE, Firefox, and Safari 
regardless Windows or Mac. However, we discovered that if a Windows user has 
IETabs installed in Firefox the URL hangs Firefox. So we were left with the 
dilemma of either not detecting the blocking of popups which means the user has 
no idea why the screen just blinks at them or hanging the browser.

I thought that if I could direct IE to open the URL for Windows, it would 
always work because all the users already have IE correctly not blocking popups.

Fortunately the code for testing blocking of popups was fixed so it doesn't 
matter any more.

However, it sounds like there isn't a good way to open a specific browser in 
Windows.

If I put the following script into the image, Rev complains that the script is

2010-07-21 Thread Bill Vlahos
Jacqueline,

My Rev app is working great and doing exactly what I want. The problem is the 
web page only works in IE and I have no control over what browser the user has 
set as their default. If it isn't IE, then the page doesn't work correctly.

It is the page itself that doesn't work in Firefox.

Re: How can I direct revGoURL to a specific browser?

2010-07-21 Thread Bill Vlahos
Jeff,

Yes it works fine for the default browser.

The problem is that the web page only works in IE. If Firefox or some other 
browser is set as the user's default browser then it fails to work correctly on 
the web page.

How can I direct revGoURL to a specific browser?

2010-07-21 Thread Bill Vlahos
I want to open a link on Windows using "revGoURL link". This works great with 
whatever browser the user has as their default browser.

The problem is that the link only works in IE and I can't guarantee that IE is 
the default browser. How can I have a specific browser run the link?

On the Mac I could use AppleScript but I don't know how to do it on Windows.

Table field edits

2010-07-18 Thread Bill Vlahos
1. I made a field called "attachments" and use the Geometry Manager to scale 
the right side of the field to the window. Set the stack for live resizing.

With the following card handlers it works but the screen updates lag and the 
tab stops don't always get set to the same correct spot.

on resizeStack  -- to adjust tab stops for attachments field
   resetTabStops
   pass resizeStack
end resizeStack

on resetTabStops
   set the tabstops of field "attachments" to 200, (the width of field 
"attachments" - 30)
end resetTabStops

2. Is there a way to inhibit cell movement upon a return key press?
Normally when finished editing a cell and pressing Return it goes to the cell 
below. Can I prevent that from happening and just stay in the same cell?

Thanks,

Bill Vlahos

Secure file delete

2010-06-12 Thread Bill Vlahos
I remember reading a suggestion on the list about creating a file with dummy 
information to overwrite an existing file. This way the original file will be 
zeroed out so there is nothing to undelete.

Unfortunately I can't find the email and was hoping that someone could clarify 
how to do this.

The reason for this is the next version of InfoWallet will support encrypted 
and password protected attachments but for someone to view an attachment it 
will have to be saved to disk unprotected and then launched. I want to securely 
delete the temporarily saved unprotected file.

Thanks,
Bill Vlahos

rev stacks on the iPad

2010-05-30 Thread Bill Ziegler
I have tried to follow all the threads on revMobile and running rev  
apps on the iPad.
My question may have already been answered but I missed it. I am an  
assistive technology consultant in Pennsylvania and use runRev stacks  
to support students with disabilities. Apple's locking out revMobile  
is frustrating and disheartening. The iPad has a unique cool factor  
with students who would otherwise shun a device for fear of looking  
different. It could provide, when paired with runRev, a portable/ 
programmable environment allowing teachers to adapt curriculum on the  
fly while the student is seated among their peers.


My question is this;
Is it possible to tether the iPad to a Mac or PC, using Bluetooth or  
Wifi (not Internet), located in the same room. Essentially the iPad  
would act as a touch interface AND display for the host computer,  
respond with little delay and channel any audio through the iPad.


I don't have experience with ipad remote apps but have read that the  
"logmein" app doesn't transmit audio to the iPad.


Thanks,
Bill

Binary files inconsistency

2010-05-24 Thread Bill Vlahos
The next version of InfoWallet will support attaching files that are compressed 
and encrypted when stored. I've noticed that it works correctly with some files 
but not others.

The script below takes a binary file, compresses it, decompresses it, and then 
saves it back to disk. I've skipped the encryption part for this recipe because 
it behaves the same way. It works correctly with .jpg, pdf, and .doc files but 
not .pages or keynote. Make a new stack and put the following script in a 
button.

on mouseUp
   answer file "Select a file:"
   if it is not empty then
  put it into lFileToRead
  put URL ("binfile:" & lFileToRead) into vFile
  put compress(vFile) into vFile
  set the itemdelimiter to tab
  ask file "Select destination to save file:" with the last item of 
lFileToRead
  if it is not empty then
 put it into vFilePath
 put decompress(vFile) into vFile
 put vFile into URL ("binfile:" & vFilePath)
 set the filetype to ""
  end if
   end if
end mouseUp

The saved Pages or Keynote files have zero length. Why is that and how do I 
make this work with any file?

How do I decompress BZ2 files?

2010-05-22 Thread Bill Vlahos
My hosting company compresses their log files using bz2. I can download the 
files and the Mac will decompress them when I double click.

The Rev decompress command looks like it uses gzip which is different.

Is there a way in Rev to decompress the file in the bz2 format so that I can do 
it all in Rev or do I need to do the steps manually? This only needs to work on 
the Mac.

Get size in bytes of object

2010-05-16 Thread Bill Vlahos
I am able to get a file from disk, compress it, and encrypt it to save the 
protected file back to disk. What I want to do is make sure there is enough 
room on the disk to save it before I try. I don't see a command that gets the 
size of a variable or a specific item on disk.

I am able to do the following:
the diskspace --to get available disk space
the long files -- gets size information for all files in a folder
the size of an object -- only works for image, EPS, audioClip, 
videoClip, stack types of objects

The user selects the file from anywhere on disk. I could use "the long files" 
but I would have to change the defaultFolder value to the new folder and then 
back again and then get the info for all the files just to get the one the user 
selected.

Is there an easier way to do this?
Is there a way to get the size of a variable in Rev?

can be displayed. Does anyone have a canned statement for it?

How do I put an image in memory into an image object?

2010-05-02 Thread Bill Vlahos
I have an image on disk that is encrypted. I can decrypt the image in memory 
but how do I put that image variable into an image object? I would also like to 
automatically fit the image into the predefined object.

I can set the fileName but that means the file exists on disk not encrypted.

Re: How do I script a telnet session

2010-04-29 Thread Bill Vlahos
Mark,

Thanks. Your script gave me enough information to get it to work via telnet.

I would like to have it work over ssh but I'm not sure how to do that from Rev. 
I tried the simple solution of just sending it over port 22 but the firewall 
complained about the protocol.

Is it possible to implement this directly from Rev or will I have to send the 
parameters to curl?

I neglected to mention that this will run on a Mac.

How do I script a telnet session

2010-04-28 Thread Bill Vlahos
I want to script a session to a network device using telnet in Rev.

The goal is to log into a telnet device like a firewall and issue a command. 
Are there any examples on how to do this?

I will want to log into a firewall via telnet in Rev with a name and password 
in a session and issue a "reload" command on the device and then respond to the 
confirmation Yes or No.

The idea is that I'll use the network and server monitor software (Whistle 
Blower) to monitor the health of a firewall. If there is a problem with the 
firewall Whistle Blower will open my compiled application (to protect a login 
name and password) and it will issue a command to reboot the target server.

Re: User Extensions/Externals

2010-04-28 Thread Bill Vlahos
Sean helped me with the placement. I put it in two places with the External.txt 
file that contained "ssMacWindows,ssmacwindows.bundle" in both locations with 
the bundles.

Documents/My Revolution Enterprise/Externals/
Documents/My Revolution Enterprise/Runtime/Mac OS X/Universal/Externals/

And then you have to put your registration key in the application you are 
developing:
on openStack
   ssMacWindowsRegister "X"
end openStack

The command to show that the stack needed saving (showing dot) is:
   ssSetWindowModified the windowID of this stack, true

Re: Mac Scrolling

2010-04-23 Thread Bill Vlahos
I'm a little confused as to what the complaints are with scrolling.

Are these the issues?

1. First click in the scroll bar between the thumb and end of the scroll bar is 
ignored.
2. Double click in the same area doesn't do something (I'm not clear what that 
is)
3. When System Prefs are set to "Jump to spot that's clicked" it doesn't do it.

My results:
1. It always behaves correctly for me. I'm not losing any first clicks anywhere.
2. I don't see any special behavior with double clicking this are on any Mac 
app.
3. Confirmed in both InfoWallet and the Rev IDE. It looks like this preference 
is ignored in Rev. I never noticed this before and no one has ever reported it. 
I think the default setting on the Mac (and certainly my setting) is "Jump to 
the next page" which works as expected.

Interestingly, looking closely at the "Smooth scrolling" option I don't see any 
difference in Rev apps but even in Apple's apps the difference is so subtle 
that it is almost unnoticeable. Casually looking at any app with this set I 
don't think many users would be able to tell any difference at all.

As far as I know, except for item 3 above, InfoWallet scrolls correctly 
everywhere.

Please let me know what behavior you are seeing that "didn't work".

Re: OT: Microsoft is really annoying!

2010-04-16 Thread Bill Vlahos
Not just "rare". There are no viruses for the Mac other than the old Microsoft 
Office viruses.

There are some other trojans for the Mac but they are rare and are not really 
found in the wild. Of course, those need the user's assistance to run as well.

One of the advantages of Sean Shao ssMacWindows is that he has made available a 
feature on the Mac that prevents key loggers. I've implemented it in the 1.1.x 
version of InfoWallet. I wish there was a similar feature for Windows. If 
anyone knows of an option for Windows please let me know.

[ANN] InfoWallet updated to 1.1.07

2010-04-12 Thread Bill Vlahos
The big new feature is the Login Assistant now for Windows as well as 
Macintosh. I don't know how to implement it on Linux.

I implemented the VBScript SendKeys method instead of the SendInput() method 
because I was unable to get the DLL to load under Vista or Windows 7 in a 
reasonable manner due to security restrictions.

I've seen some inconsistency with it in some circumstances with a track pad on 
a laptop that has the tap = mouse click enabled. I would like any feedback on 
it. You can use the free demo version for testing.

Thanks,

Re: Windows frontmost app and Rev System Window

Upon further testing I think something that is compounding the problem is that

use a mouse it behaves more consistently. I wonder if the extra action of the

Windows frontmost app and Rev System Window

2010-04-12 Thread Bill Vlahos
The Rev system window is always supposed to float above all other windows. 
However, in Window 7 it only sort of does.

If a rev system window comes up it does float over everything else. However, it 
still appears to float above everything in that if I click on an application 
behind that application comes to the front but doesn't cover the Rev floating 
window but the title bar of the Rev floating window changes a little to 
indicate that it is no longer the frontmost window even though nothing else is 
drawn above it.

This is causing me a problem with the Login Assistant window in the next 
version of InfoWallet as it causes inconsistent behavior of the application.

Is there a way to make sure that the floating window is actually the frontmost 
window?

Can compress also password protect?

2010-03-21 Thread Bill Vlahos
There is no provision in the Rev dictionary for other parameters in the 
compress or decompress function. The RFC shows one option for compression but 
nothing regarding encryption or password protection.

Is there a cross platform way to add encryption requiring a password in the 
compress statement or should I do this as two separate steps? If I encrypt 
first then I will lose any advantage of compression because there will be no 
patterns.

Re: Add file to Custom Property

2010-03-18 Thread Bill Vlahos
So I'm getting close on this. The "Save file" button script seems to work fine. 
The custom property looks to be encrypted.

Button "Save File"
on mouseUp
   answer file "Please select a file..."
   put it into lFileToRead
   set the itemDelimiter to "/"
   answer the last item of lFileToRead
   -- Read the binary contents of a file into a variable
   open file lFileToRead for binary read
   read from file lFileToRead until end
   close file lFileToRead
   put it into vFile
   encrypt it using "blowfish" with "biff" at "128" bit
   set the uFileStore of me to it
   set the uFileName of me to the last item of lFileToRead
end mouseUp

The following script doesn't actually save the file but I'm not sure why.
Button "Save and open file"
on mouseUp
   ask file "Save file to;" with  the uFileName of button "Save File"
   put the uFileStore of button "Save File" into vEncryptedFile
   decrypt vEncryptedFile using "blowfish" with "biff" at "128" bit
   put vEncryptedFile into URL ("binfile:" & it)
   set the filetype to ""
   launch document it
end mouseUp

If it is another stack, then Rev can open it from memory. Otherwise,  
no. The usual solution is to write to the temp directory, with an  
obscure name if you want, and then delete the file later when you're  
done with it.

Re: Add file to Custom Property

2010-03-13 Thread Bill Vlahos
Jeff,

Thanks. That seems to do it.
on mouseUp
   answer file "Please select a file..."
   put it into lFileToRead
   -- Read the binary contents of a file into a variable
   open file lFileToRead for binary read
   read from file lFileToRead until end
   close file lFileToRead
   set the uFileStore of me to it
end mouseUp

I don't think I need to do the Base64 encoding. You are correct I didn't have 
any code for encrypting but I know how to do that.

Next is how do I open the file saved? I don't really want to write it to disk 
for security reasons unless I need to.

This statement doesn't work.
   open (URL "binfile:" & uFileStore of button "Save File")

Add file to Custom Property

I want to add a file from disk to a custom property, encrypt it, and save it. 
Then I want to be able to extract the file from the custom property and open it 
in the appropriate application.

The first step is to put the file into the custom property but my code below 
only puts the path to the file.
on mouseUp
   answer file "Please select a file..."
   put it into lFileToRead
   -- Read the binary contents of a file into a variable
   open file lFileToRead for binary read
   read from file lFileToRead until end
   put base64Encode(lFileToRead) into lBinaryFile -- not sure if this is needed
   close file lFileToRead
   set the uFileStore of me to lBinaryFile
end mouseUp

Hello all,
I'm new to revolution and have run into a problem.
I've made a simple little standalone application
(4 text fields, 1 label, 1 button). Right now all that
it does it that when the button is pressed it place the
contents of one of the fields into the label. The
system that this is being run on is Windows7 64bit
+ Norton Internet Security, both with latest updates.


The first time I tried run the standalone I was rewarded
with multiple messages for NIS stating that the application
was behaving suspiciously . I told NIS to allow the application
to continue running and everything works fine.


Of course this presents major heartburn for any distribution
of the find product since most end users won't be thrilled by
a bunch of NIS warnings, I know I wouldn't.


So, the question is, has anyone else run into this and what
can I do to stop it.


Thanks

Help with save as or new using standalones

2010-03-09 Thread Bill Ziegler
I've created some programs for students with disabilities. At first I  
circulated them with the the Mac and Pc players. It was easy to script  
a 'New' that copied the stack and cleared all text and audioClips. The  
'Save as' made a  copied of the stack. Both renamed the new stack.  
Schools with pc's need them to run from the startup menu since the  
students can't drag them onto the player. I made them standalones but  
now I don't know the proper way or logic or even an intelligent way to  
ask the question of duplicating them. The Mac version is in a package,  
the pc is in a folder with an externals folder, the slpashstack and  
the real stack. I need to keep the audio in the stacks to make it  
easier for students to transport their work from home to school and  
back. Would I use the copyFolder command and save it to the same level/ 
folder as the original? I have them on my On-Rev Server website at www.billziegler.com 
 . The two I'm having trouble with, when turned into standalones, are  
the "ReportCards MacPC" and "Just Say It".


I couldn't find anything in the archives. If there is an old post or a  
tutorial in detail I could start with that.


Thanks in advanced

Re: Windows Portable???

2010-03-08 Thread Bill Vlahos
No they are not the same.

Here is a link for Windows Portable.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd388998(VS.85).aspx

U3 is a standard that is Windows only and is designed to provide a better 
application launch experience for applications on USB drives.

It works by presenting the USB drive as both a USB drive and CD. The "CD" does 
the auto-start and launches a catalog interface where the applications have 
been loaded. One of the big problems for non-Windows computers in that there 
are two drives that have to be ejected when finished.

There was some talk of a U4 standard which would include other platforms but I 
haven't heard anything about that in some time. Even for Windows, U3 has not 
taken off and it diminishing in popularity.

I chose not to support U3 with InfoWallet (where it would appear to be a 
perfect fit) because of the problems with Macs and Linux. It looks like the 
rest of the industry is losing interest as well.

Can't send click in time

2010-03-02 Thread Bill Vlahos
I can "send a mouseUp to button "A" in 1 milliseconds" but "send click at loc 
of button "A" in 1 millisecond" generates an error in the IDE.

How can I send a click in time?

File Type for DLL

2010-02-20 Thread Bill Vlahos
I set the following file types for various files.

  switch tFileExt
   case ".rev"
  put "RevoRSTK" into tFileType
  break
   case ".mc"
  put "MCRDMSTK" into tFileType
  break
   case ".doc"
  put "MSWDWDOC" into tFileType
  break
    end switch

What would it be for a Windows .dll file?

ANN: InfoWallet upgraded

2010-02-07 Thread Bill Vlahos
The new version (1.1.05) of InfoWallet has been released as a free upgrade.

New features include:

Login Assistant (Mac in this release. Windows next release). Automate logging 
in to web sites and other programs in as little as 2 or 3 clicks without 
exposing passwords.

Login Assistant easily supports putting individual characters of passwords as 
some bank web sites now require.

Choices in how users evaluate the software. Either 50 days of unlimited entries 
or 50 entries of unlimited time. This will allow anyone to use the program for 
free for basic personal medical record keeping.

Formatting answer dialog box text

2010-02-07 Thread Bill Vlahos
I can figure out how to format the prompt text but not the button choices.

This script gives me a nice looking dialog box with the single OK button.

on mouseUp
   answer question "This is header in bold.This is in 
italics."& \
"Option A   or Option B"
end mouseUp

How would I add the "with statement" to get two buttons. Without the formatting 
it would be
 ...with "Option A" or "Option B"

Blowfish 448 bit doesn't work in Windows

2010-02-06 Thread Bill Vlahos
Works on Mac and Linux. Rev only lists Blowfish 128 in its list of cipherNames 
and that works.

Does Rev pick up the 448 from unix on Mac and Linux? How do I get Blowfish 448 
to work on Windows?
