pop-up cascading menus
Dear List members: On a Mac with Rev 4.0, it appears not to be possible to have cascading menus in an option button/menu. I can have them in a pop-up button/menu, but it doesn't look anywhere near as nice. I tried superimposing an option button over a pop-up button and sending a command to the pop-up, but that won't work either. Does anyone know of a work-around so that I can have option's looks with pop-up's functionality? Also, WHY can't the rev team create an option button with cascading menus? Thanks for all advice.

dragDrop an image into a graphic rectangle
Hello everyone: I need a little help on a script. I can dragDrop an image from the desktop into a field (the field containing a script like the one below), but I'd like to drag the image into a graphic rectangle, which is not handled automatically. The Dictionary says: "To accept drops to a locked field or a control other than a field, handle the dragDrop message, using the dragData property to determine what data is being dragged. For these objects, your dragDrop handler must get the dragged data and put it into the object (or perform whatever action you want to do on a drop); the behavior is not automated as it is for unlocked fields." I underlined the part that's giving me trouble. I'm not sure how to go about it. Can anyone give me an example script for that part of the handler? on dragDrop put the dragData["files"] into theFilePath import paint from file theFilePath set the name of the last image to "New Image" -- ? end dragDrop Thanks, Paul Gabel ___ 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
Password protection
Hello everyone: I tried to password protect my stacks, but I must be missing some basic concept. I read the Password entry in the Dictionary, then I set the password on the Stacks screen of the Standalone Application Settings window, then I created my standalone. When I open the standalone, it doesn't ask for the password. Do I need to script that? I'm using Rev 4.0. Thanks.

Placing a movie (videoClip)
Jacque: > So you can set the location with the syntax "play videoclip 1 at > 100,250", which works in the IDE, but fails in a standalone. Actually, I found out that it works in a standalone on my Mac.

Placing a movie (videoClip)
Hello everyone: I have imported a very short videoClip using File ... Import as a control ... video file. Then I put it into a custom property of a card. My problem is that I can't get it to play in the location I want. It always plays at the center of the card. I tried: on mouseUp wait 20 ticks set the loc of the templateVideoClip to 200,200 play videoClip id (the cardMovie of this cd) -- custom prop end mouseUp ... but it doesn't work. How do I set the loc of the movie on the card? Thank you.

Re: Emailing a Rev file
Jim: Thanks for going to all that trouble. I'll keep your trick in mind if I ever get into this situation again.

I ended up just having him download the Windows file from my MobileMe Public Folder. I don't know why either. I've used it many times and I just tested it now by sending an 8.9 MB zip that contains an installer EXE, which in turn contains 3-Rev EXEs and a number of DLLs to my mother (couldn't think, off the top of my head, who else has a generic Gmail account that I could bug with this ;-) and it went through and I called her and we downloaded it from her Gmail to her computer and unziped it and all went as expected. What took the most time was explaining to her what and why I had sent and why, after all of that, I was having her delete everything. (she doesn't know an EXE from a shoe ;-) Maybe the email address you are sending from has to be on the recipient's contact list? Or, possibly, there is some other setting on the Gmail account you are sending to that adds additional restrictions? However, this is the trick for sending a zip to a generic Gmail address that by default rejects zip and exe attachments. In all cases I can remember, however, we had been corresponding first and I would have been on their allowed contact list. I'm not in the habit of sending out unsolicited EXEs. ;-) Aloha from Hawaii, Jim Bufalini ___ 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: Creating a standalone (choice dimmed)
Hi Sarah: Thanks. You're (obviously) right. But I'm sure that I used to select desktop files that were not in a folder. Was this changed in Rev 3.5, or am I just "losing it"? If it's the latter, then please don't reply. PAul Gabel -- On Sep 1, 2009, at 3:03 PM, Sarah Reichelt wrote: When you select "Save as standalone", it asks for a folder where you want the standalone to be saved. The Rev stack you are building needs to be loaded into Rev already. Since it is looking for a folder at that stage, all files should be greyed out and you should only be able to select folders.
