Re: Stop automatic actions in editing mode
Thanks Xav. Between your scripts (I especially like the 2nd one), Dan's Message Click and Jonathan's Option-click I now have 3 ways to stop an autoscript.

Stop automatic actions in editing mode
Is it possible to stop an automatic action once you have placed the on opencard script into the card. I have a stack that has a curtain (card 1) open automatically to the title (card 2). I used the card script on card 1: on opencard visual effect barn door open slow go next end opencard I want to edit the first card but the opencard script prevents me from doing so. I have looked through the documentation and manual but see nothing on how to do this.

Re: running the Player
Charles, When I click on the DC Player (on my PowerBook running Tiger) I get the revOnline Viewer which enables one to navigate to the stack. Instead of opening the player, I hide the player and have my students double-click on the stack to open it. Control-click on the stack and drag down to Open With and navigate to the Dream Card Player. When opened, the stack will now open with the Player screen in the background.

Klaus, Your script (set the navigationarrows to false) worked fine. Thank you! As for the confusion about the keys - I apologize.

Hide menubar problem
Is there a way to have my stack move up and occupy the area of the menubar when I hide it with the hide menubar command (using MacOSX)? I assumed (my first problem) that when I hid the menubar my 800x600 stack would fill the screen. Instead the menubar is replaced with the desktop and the bottom of my stack is cut off.

Flashing numbers added to Number Picker stack.
I just finished a small stack to select my 9th grade chemistry students (sitting at numbered lab tables) at random. I have 25 students and used the following script to select one at random, then speak that number: on mouseUp put random (25) into field "field1" revsetspeechvoice "ralph" revspeak field "field1" wait 4 sec put empty into field "field1" end mouseUp To add a little flair, I would like numbers to quickly flash on the screen for one or two seconds before it stops at the random number. Looked through the documentation but found nothing. Any suggestions? I don't need it if it is too difficult but thought I would ask. I'm too new to Revolution to know how much it involves.

Newbe Drag & Drop Question
I am writing a stack on Density for my students. I want them to drag a cube of iron on to an electronic balance to mass it. The script would change the display of the balance from 0.00 grams to thel mass of the iron sample. I have made the cube draggable by assigning it the following scipt: on mousedown drag me end mousedown That part works great. I attempted to place a hidden button over the balance and use the dragenter message in a variety of ways but cannot get it to work. When I used HyperStudio the dragdrop function was built into the program so I didn't learn how to script it. Any advice for a Dreamcard newbe?

How can I select a word in a scrolling text field and assign it actions? I have been placing transparent buttons over text in non-scrolling fields- works great but won't work for scrolling fields. Searched the documentation and Dan's book but no answers. Tried selecting the text and using link (hoping for a hyperlink) but that looks like it is more for grouping text.

Making an image draggable
I know it must be easy but I cannot figure out the script to make an image of a metric ruler draggable so my students can drag it around the screen to measure items in a quiz stack I am writing. Tried several variations of the following script: on mousedown make image "ruler.jpg" draggable end mousedown Thanks for any help for this newbe.

Multiple Choice Editor stack
As a Dreamcard newbe I am going through the tutorial movies on the web site. I've authored two programs for my high school Chemistry students and would now like to construct some quizzes that go along with the programs. I viewed the Multiple Choice Quiz movie but can't find the stacks that the movie makes reference to. Searched the Dreamcard folder, my HD and the Revolution site but no go. Anyone tell me where I can find the multiple choice editor sample stack?

Dreamcard Spell Check
I'm new to Revolution and can't find a spell check built into the program. Any suggestions other than purchasing a spell check program? I'm working on a G4 PowerBook, and Tiger's built-in spell check doesn't work.

Re: Dreamcard, am I missing something?
I agree. I am a high school physical science educator that has used HyperStudio for ten years to author programs for my students. When they double clicked on a program, a splash screen told them they were running a HyperStudio program but that was it - they didn't have to navigate to it. The program launched automatically. But HyperStudio didn't upgrade to Mac OSX so I am now using DreamCard to rewrite my stacks but don't like the idea that my students have to navigate to my program after clicking on it's icon. I also would like to know is there a way to eliminate this other than purchasing Revolution Studio? I don't mind a splash screen to show my students they are running a Revolution program, but why not skip the navigation part since they already clicked on the program they wish to run.

Re: audioClip
I'm using Dreamcard but it should be the same in Revolution: 1. Go to File and drag down to Import as Control. Select Audio file. 2. Navigate to the sound file you wish to import into your stack and select Open. The sound file is now imported into your stack. If you imported a sound file named OhYeah.wav you can access it by using the following script: play "OhYeah.wav" While this works for me, I've only been using Dreamcard for a week so there may be some other way. But this way works for me.

Dreamcard script problem
After spending hours trying to determine why the following text-to-speech script wouldn't work in Mac OS 10.3, I trashed the DreamCard Player version 2.5 (that came with Dreamcard two months ago) and installed version 2.6.2.77. The script works fine now. Just thought I would let others know to save them hours of frustration.

Re: Dreamcard script problem
Eric, I use text-to-speech frequently in my HyperStudio programs so I am sure that isn't the problem. Also, the button answer text doesn't show up which is independent of the sound.

Dreamcard script problem
I am an educator that just recently switched from HyperStudio (using some HyperLogo scripting) to Dreamcard. I have created a stack to use in my science class that has the following script: on mouseUp revSetSpeechVoice "Victoria" revSetSpeechSpeed 130 revSpeak "That is not correct. Try again" answer "The Density of Water is 1.00 g/mL." end mouseUp Problem: It works find on my PowerBook (which I have DreamCard installed). But when I play it on a student eMac (with the Dreamcard Player) the button action does not execute. Another button with a simple "go next" script works fine. Any ideas on what is preventing the button action? Thanks, Doug Gilliland ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
