Method question
I have a problem which I am not certain which method is valid or should be used (with Rev / Livecode there are sometimes too many ways of achieving a goal). I have a graphic on a card left 62 right 462. My objective is to allow a user to left click and drag across the graphic as if selecting a section of it. I need start left,top,right,bottom and end left,top,right,bottom. The only interest is knowing the start of the drag when inside the graphic and the end of the drag inside the graphic... with the following caveats. - The user may start the drag either outside the graphic and then continue the drag into the graphic (which is the start point) or start the drag inside the graphic which would be the start point. - The user may release the mouse button inside the graphic which indicates the stop point or release the mouse button outside the graphic where the stop point is at the point of the mouse leaving the graphic. This seems like it should be simple but I am getting tied down but trying to over complicate it? This is for Windows and Linux . Any elegant or simple solutions out there? ___ 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: Method question
Hi Phil, Yes it works BUT it doesn't constrain itself to the graphic. I want it to only to report the points if the user includes the graphic when they d their drag... as it currently stands it reports coordinates even if the user does not drag across the graphic. But other that that it is total a different perspective on how I was looking at the problem... I was too focused on the graphic. thanks, Glen On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 12:27 PM, Phil Davis rev...@pdslabs.net wrote: Hi Glen, See if this works: -- card script -- local h1, h2, v1, v2 on mouseDown put the clickH into h1 put the clickV into v1 end mouseDown on mouseUp put the mouseH into h2 put the mouseV into v2 put grcDragRegion() end mouseUp function grcDragRegion -- define mouse drag rect put min(h1,h2) into tMouseLeft put max(h1,h2) into tMouseRight put min(v1,v2) into tMouseTop put max(v1,v2) into tMouseBottom -- define overlap of mouse drag rect grc rect put max(tMouseLeft, the left of grc 1) into item 1 of tOverlapRect put max(tMouseTop, the top of grc 1) into item 2 of tOverlapRect put min(tMouseRight, the right of grc 1) into item 3 of tOverlapRect put min(tMouseBottom, the bottom of grc 1) into item 4 of tOverlapRect -- return it return tOverlapRect end grcDragRegion Phil Davis On 11/9/10 10:48 AM, Glen Bojsza wrote: I have a problem which I am not certain which method is valid or should be used (with Rev / Livecode there are sometimes too many ways of achieving a goal).

Re: Method question
Hi Peter, This was my original approach but the problem is similar to what I find here. I only get partial information when I start the combination of clicking and dragging the mouse from outside of the graphic -- across the graphic -- outside of the graphic again. Maybe the messages being triggered aren't being received. I will try other combinations to see what happens. thanks, Glen On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 12:38 PM, Peter Brigham MD pmb...@gmail.com wrote: On Nov 9, 2010, at 1:48 PM, Glen Bojsza wrote: I have a problem which I am not certain which method is valid or should be used (with Rev / Livecode there are sometimes too many ways of achieving a goal).

Re: Method question
Yes this works correctly. Also, I took Peter's solution and found that starting a mouseUp outside the graphic does not report anything because the graphic has it's own mouseUp (and viceversa with mouseDown). The fix for this is to do a mouseUp and mouseDown for the card and determine if the mouseloc is within the graphic. So both solutions are applicable and different in their approach. I will expand on this to make a zoom feature for the graphing packages allowing my end user to easily zoom into data graphs they have interest in. All the best!

Re: Method question
Yes this is true and there are several others that could apply as well. As I mentioned in my initial email there are many solutions and I wanted to get other people's perspective on their approach... this gives me freshness and a more rounded base.

Over lapping buttons
Hello, I am building an application which uses a third party plug in (protected) that places several buttons in specific locations accordingly. The problem is that I want to move any buttons that over lap another button. I can generate a list of buttons made by the plug in and the order they are created. The problem only exists once and a while and only between buttons that are in sequence - for example regardless of the number of buttons there is only one pair that ends up over lapping. So is there an easy way to determine if a button is over lapping it's neighbor? thanks, Glen ___ 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

Linux question / problem
I hope that there are some Rev users working with Linux (with Android coming there may quite a few more). Anyways, I am using Fedora 11 with Gnome desktop. What I would like to do is associate a Logo image with the application I am working on. In Windows and OS X this is all built in quite nicely but in Linux it does not seem straight forward. Does anyone have some experience / wisdom or step by step guide on how to do this ... file association, icon location, icon size / format? The second problem that I am encountering (though I don't believe it is only on Linux) is that I import a snapshot of a field, rotate it 90 degrees and then place it at a specific location. All of this works as it should with the exception or annoyance of the image flashing on the center of the screen before being rotated and moved. I have tried lock screen import snapshot of field test unlock screen But this results in the application hanging until I go and click in the script editor? Is there anyway to do this in a background or hidden? regards, Glen ___ 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: VLC and Rev
My hope was to be able to use it similar to the QT external ... the video plays inside a Rev application. Unfortunately, this requires someone that: 1. understands Rev externals 2. programs in c/c++ (I'm not certain what VLC is written in) 3. willing to do 1 2 The quick and dirty way to do it right now is to store the portable version inside the Rev application, take the users input, put the VLC into a working directory and launch it was the scripts mentioned. Not elegant but doable. On Fri, May 28, 2010 at 5:13 AM, Luis l...@anachreon.co.uk wrote: Hiya, If you're ok to go through the Terminal/Shell, there are many commands you can use.

Application Browser not showing groups
This is a strange one (for me) but I rely on the Application Browser to show me the various components on cards. I have an application that shows me some of the components but not all of them. If I use the Property Inspector and inspect groups I find that the application has tens of groups yet in the application browser it only shows 8? From the Property Inspector I select one group and it hilites the actual group on the card. BUT, there are also other groups that I select via the Property Browser and nothing is visibly shown?? Finally, I also noticed that the Application Browser shows gaps in the Layers numbering which is also a tip off. What is the reason they do not show in the Application Browser? As for their purpose, I am assuming that they may be having custom properties being assigned though I haven't confirmed this yet. thanks, ___ 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: Educational stacks
Wilhelm, Thanks for the information which will take a little digesting. To answer Judy's question - I am trying to create custome learning modules that explain very specific telecommunications technology by means of visual animation and user interaction which needs to be tested for to see if the key points were understood. The trick with using multiple choice testing is to word the question and answers so that the correct solution is not quite obvious. It would be better to have essay style questions but then support for correcting and giving feedback becomes an issue. So for a start I will look at Wilhelm's suggestions and see where it goes. thanks, On 3/15/06, Wilhelm Sanke [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Glen, You wrote: Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has used Revolution in creating 1. A multiple choice quiz stack? (snip) As an addendum to my previous post three hours ago: You can find Steve Messimers Preceptor Tools, which very much rely on the multiple-choice principle, here : ftp://ftp.runrev.com/pub/revolution/downloads/third-party/preceptortools . There is also a stack Multiple Choice Questionnaire in folder sample projects of the Revolution distribution. This stack might be interesting as an example how specific questions of constructing multiple-choice exercises are addressed and programmed, otherwise it is very much sub-standard. At best it could serve as a starting point - maybe it is intended as such - for developing exercises that are nearer to state-of-the-art and state-of-the-discussion standards concerning multiple choice. As an educational format, multiple-choice is very much disputed and discouraged. Very often, multiple-choice exercises do not clearly distinguish in their objectives, e.g. are they intended for teaching, learning, or simply testing? More modern teaching and testing procedures try to minimize the role of multiple-choice. Even the American SAT, which very much relied on multiple-choice, is slowly steering away from this format as it adds more and more essay and open-ended parts where you actively have to produce responses and not only to recall and choose from preselected answers. So does the FCAT, the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, which is applied at various grade levels in Florida schools and the main threshold you have to pass to get your high-school diploma. But designing multiple-choice exercises can be a nice programming enterprise; this is what I had in mind when I produced my multiple-choice tutorial. And, indeed, a carefully designed multiple-choice exercise can be useful as a *part* of more comprehensive teaching, learning, and testing strategies.

The Start button on a mouseUp starts to cycle through a list of commands that move graphics, shows and hides fields etc. on mouseUp hide btn Start show btn Stop move grc node to 120,120 in 2 seconds show fld explanation wait for 3 seconds hide fld explanation ... ... ... end mouseUp The Stop button on mouseUp stops the cycle of commands the Start button launched, hides itself and shows a Continue button. The Continue button on mouseUp starts the cycle of commands the Start button initially launched but from where the cylce had been stopped. This is my foray into multimedia and interaction with Rev so I hope the list will bear with me... traditionally I have worked on static apps. Any suggestions or reference stacks would be appreciated. regards, ___ 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

My suggestion would be to work with a list of commands in a custom property, and then use send to do each line, one at a time, recursively sending to the same handler. Manage a custom property pointer that indicates what command line is being executed. The Stop button would cancel the pending message, and the Continue button would execute the next command after the pointer. Something like this (assumes uCommands property contains the list of commands to execute, uPointer property holds the indicator for which line is being executed): -- Start button on mouseUp set the uPointer of this card to 0 DoNextCommand end mouseUp -- Stop button on mouseUp CancelPending DoNextCommand end mouseUp -- Continue button on mouseUp DoNextCommand end mouseUp -- card script? on DoNextCommand put the uCommands of this card into tCmdList put the uPointer of this card into tLine add 1 to tLine put line tLine of tCmdList into tCmd if tCmd = then exit DoNextCommand -- already executed last cmd in list else do (line tLine of tCmdList) DoNextCommand end if end DoNextCommand on CancelPending pMsg put the pendingMessages into tPending if (pMsg ) and (pMsg all) then filter tPending with *, pMsg ,* end if repeat for each line tMsg in tPending cancel item 1 of tMsg end repeat end CancelPending HTH, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Web site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ 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 ___ 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: Not passing a return key or enter key.
Hi Jacque, Unfortunately I want to allow the user to use return key to enter the minimum they want on the first two lines. The first line they may want to use as a Title or description with one or two words and then hit enter and give details. So autotab cannot work here. But I am glad you mentioned the pasteKey and may not work in the ide ... this would save me a lot of troubleshooting. regards On 8/12/05, J.

No scripting required. You can still paste more than 3 lines though. For that, trap the pastekey message and trim off all but the first three lines.

Re: Standalone Encrypt feature
Thanks Sarah for the ideas. The mainstack opens up a substack which the user selects certain features, does the calculations and then places images in particular places on the mainstack. I tried building a standalone with all the substacks ecrypted and the mainstack NOT encrypted. This standalone works fine. I am not using any rev libraries nor do I seem to be missing anything. The stack in the IDE works perfectly fine. I don't think you can turn on error reporting in a standalone? Can you? Finally, I am not certain what you mean when you refer to turning off search for inclusions? I'm happy that the substacks were encrypted but the mainstack should also be encrypted IMHO. regards, On 8/10/05, Sarah Reichelt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a stack that contains several other stacks.

Polling in Rev (send verses wait)
I am working on an app that needs to do a polling routine every N seconds (where N is defaulted to 10 unless the user defines it themselves). The routine gathers information from some files and parses it with the results being displayed in the appropriate fields. This routine needs to be a run as a background process because the user will be working with the application to update information etc. The Rev docs lead me to think that either the send or the wait command could be used. I was hoping someone would shed some light on which selection should be used in this case. thanks, ___ 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: Remotes - the new, exciting alternative to Externals.
This is what I think would make a great Rev Scripting Conference series. On 7/9/05, Jon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well done, Alex! :) Jon Alex Tweedly wrote: I've been playing with writing externals for Revolution lately. It's been interesting. I'm very glad to know I can do it, and should I ever need to, I will. But I can't say it's been a lot of fun. Writing C code is frustrating and not very productive in the best of circumstances (e.g. supported by a symbolic debugger, protected processes, etc.) In the circumstance of running an external with Rev's IDE (where many errors cause immediate termination of the IDE, with no diagnostic info provided at all, far less any chance to debug), it is very unproductive. So while it's good to know that externals are possible for me, I also know that they are to be avoided if reasonable alternatives exist. So I started looking for alternatives . Reasons to write externals in the first place. 1. to get access to hardware or other facilities not otherwise available 2. to get higher performance (e.g. matrix ops, image processing, etc.) 3. to take advantage of existing library packages 4. other significant but less common reasons As described above, I don't like C (far less C++). The language I do like (assuming Transcript isn't an option) is Python. Python is, in many ways, similar to Transcript. They're both scripting language, dynamic types (or typeless), associative arrays, etc. - that's largely why I like them both. But they're also quite different, and complementary, in many ways. So, without falling into the trap of becoming a comparison between the two languages, I believe that a number of the reasons for writing an external would equally apply to using Python. Of course, it would be difficult to write an actual external in Python. But I realized that one of the strengths of both Python and Transcript is that they have good, simple socket facilities. So I decided to try Remotes - socket-based Python add-ons to Transcript. I wrote a small (30 lines) Python server which accepts commands over a TCP socket, and returns its result over the same TCP connection (see the end of the email for the source code of the Python program). The commands are in fact snippets of Python code; so I can develop the Transcript stack and just change the snippets of Python to be sent and executed, without even restarting the server. So the whole process is as dynamic as Rev usually is. snip ___ 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 ___ 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: Any experience with Expect
As far as I can tell Expect in it's native form is simply a command line. Tcl/Tk was used to create a GUI enviroment for it. So Rev (which is a far better GUI enviroment ) could be used to develop a more custom interface for particular users. So if you ignore the addition of Tcl/Tk you have a command line package which could be accessed with Rev through the shell or possibly make Expect a Rev external. I guess what I am trying to get at is that Rev should be able to replace Tcl. On 6/24/05, Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Glen- Friday, June 24, 2005, 7:08:43 AM, you wrote: GB 1.

Maybe I'm mising the point, but I don't see what would be gained by either of these. Expect uses Tcl/Tk to handle text scripts for controlling command-line programs. I don't see where a GUI wrapper would help in either creating scripts or running them. You'd still have to write the scripts and then hand them off to Tcl/Tk for execution.

Re: Images in Customproperties
Scott, This is more at what I was getting at. I made a simple error in thinking that the image tower when stored as a custom property also had its custom properties stored...NOT. Thanks for the enlightenment. Any thoughts on my other question...if I stored an image from my hard drive set the Antennas[Site] of image map to URL binfile:radio.png How can I place this image from my custom property at a later time onto a card?

I might be wrong, but if I understand what you're trying to do, I believe you need to assign the properties and imageData of your target object separately. For example: set the uImageContent of img map to img tower set the customKeys of img map to the customKeys of img tower This should place the imageData of image tower into the custom property uImageContent of image map (and preserve any alphaData present in image tower). To then apply the image to another image, you simply put the property into a new image object: put the uImageContent of img map into myImgObject The cool thing about this technique is it allows you to establish a single image object with multiple image references. A good example is a digit in a timer which contains all the number images 0 to 9 stored as custom properties. To update the timer, you successively put it's stored digit information into itself: put the digit0 of img timer into img timer. Or is this not what you want?

Looping problem
I'm stuck...and getting burnt out so I thought I would see if someone has a fresh idea for me to try. The scope is to have a number of locations and the minimum path connecting the locations. I have two fields. Field Name contains a list of single unique site names. (for example 20 names) Field Link contains a list of three items. The first two items are single names from the field Name and the third item is a weighted numeric value. This field is the total possible combinations of the names and their associated values for lowest to highest. So my combinations would total 20*(20-1)/2 =190 I am trying to create a resulting field that would have a list that would include a least one occurance of each name. Therefore 20 -1 = 19 links (preferably from the lowest value upwards.

Hi Chipp, From what I could tell on the list over time would be a Filemaker Pro style database. SQLite is free and well supported. Making it an external and giving the rev community a starter interface might appeal to the masses? Maybe a follow on business would be a rev plugin that could utilize the SQLite as a table object? And a personal favorite would to have a graphing module that would create serveral types of graphs that excel produces...this may have the largest mass appeal? This would give the rev users the ability to add a standard desired component to their projects. A math engine external? An ssh client? Just a few of my wishes. Maybe regards.

Solution to reduce .Net size and not require framework to be installed globally do exist and cost is ( Xenocode $1500 !! ). This issue often occurs with Java too :-) I would personally think a better course to take would be the one Gordon suggested in his OT, namely make it easy to bind to .Net/Mono in a similar Way to how you can use .Net functionality from ActiveState Perl using PerlNet supplied with their Perl Development Kit.
