no copy & paste neccessary!

Go to the card(s) here you want to place your group and choose menu 
"Object" -> "Place" group" -"Name of your group here..."

That's it :-)

from the docs about "playstopped":
...
Note:  The playStopped message is sent when a card containing the player closes 
and when the player's filename property is changed...!!!
  To prevent a playStopped handler from being executed inappropriately, set the 
lockMessages to true before changing the filename or switching cards:
...

And the docs also show the workaround:
on openCard
  global pname,pic
  set filename of image "1" to "Resources/BKG.paneling.jpg"
  show image 1

  lock messages -- prevent sending playStopped
  set the currentTime of player 1 to 0
 set the filename of  player 1 to "resources/flight3.mov"
 set the showController of player 1 to false
 unlock messages ##!!!
 start player 1
end openCard

Looks like the IDE catches the playstopped messages somehow!?

Hmm, this is pretty straightforward! :-)

Anyway, I created a folder "externals" in my MC folder and copied ALL the LC
externals into that folder. NO subfolder for "RevDB" stuff!!!

Then I added a little script to my "home" stack that will load the externals and
"use" that stack:

on openStack
  externalseinrichten
  start using this stack
  #...
end openStack

## German for "setup externals"
command externalseinrichten
  put the filename of this stack into fn
  set itemdel to "/"
  delete item -1 of fn
  put "/externals/" after fn
  put the folder into olddir
  set the folder to fn

  # Mac! 
  # Use "files" and filter with "*.dll" for Windows
  put the folders into tBundles
  filter tBundles with "*.bundle"
  repeat for each line i in tBundles
put fn & i & CR after Xlist
  end repeat
  delete char -1 of Xlist
  set the folder to olddir
  set the externals of this stack to Xlist
end externalseinrichten

That's it!

To avoid this and other traps when sending "mouseup" to object on other cards 
you coul do this and
since there is no "defaultCard" (like "defaultstack") that we can set, we have 
to go to all the cards to 
avoid this above mentioned phenomenon!

on mouseUp
 ## We want to return to this card after the script has finished!
 put the num of this cd into tStartCard
 lock screen
  repeat with y = 1 to the number of cards
  
  ## We actually have to GO to the cards but to avoid unnecessary
  ## PRE/OPENCARD messages we have to:
 lock messages
 go cd y
 unlock messages
 repeat with b= 1 to the number of buttons
if the style of button b  = "checkbox" then
   if the hilite of button b  = "true" then 
   send "mouseUp" to button b
   end if

repeat for each is read only, but you try to change tFilePaths on the fly :-)

Do this:

on dragEnter
 put the dragData["files"] into tFilePaths
 set the itemDel to "."
 repeat for each line L in tFilePaths
   if (last item of L is among the items of "GIF.JPG.JPEG.PNG") then
put l & CR after tFilePaths2

 delete char  -1 of tFilePaths2

here a related issue!

Yesterday I updated some old bugs of mine including this one:


Looks like LiveCode does not check the "externals" folder inside of the
user "My " folder. 

So none of the externals here are listed in the standalone builder
and thus do not get copied to into a standalone!

A workaround ist to make the stack NOT resizable and use the "Mac Style Stack

from the object lib or make your own :-)

RevBrowser bug

[Klaus on-rev]

Hi all, 

I just filed a bug report for a nasty bug I found today and wanted to let you 
know.

When you toggle "the resizable" of a stack with an active browser, the content 
of the browser will disappear in data nirvana :-/

Try it yourself:
Open an URL in any browser and toggle the resizable of that stack with a button
or the message box, big fun :-/

You will need to close the browser and open a new instance to make it work 
again.

I see.

But this was my only extension and crashed Safari everytime I tried to load a 
Revlet.
Once deactivated, Revlets load fine.

You bet, and that's why I rather avoid to load revlets until this got fixed!

This does work! But you did not exspect how it worked!
Check all these fields and you will find their custom property named 
"TabOnReturn" is set to true! :-D

You might want to set the "autotab" in your loop ;-)
A fact that Richard already mentioned below.

 In this case the actual property name is "autoTab".

!

 The first thing I tell my clients to do when they begin learning Rev is:
 
 1. Go to Preferences
 2. In the section with the heading "Property labels are:", click the
 option labeled "Name of LiveTalk Property".
 
 Once that's done the Inspector provides reinforcement of the tokens
>>> you'll have to learn for scripting anyway.
 
 And without that, as you've found it just raises the learning curve.

maybe this is an idea for a feature request?

I mean to have a message that gets sent when:
1. an URL has been loaded in RevBrowser BUT
2. right BEFORE it is going to be displayed!

So one could check the htmltext to not/allow the display.
Know what I mean? Something like "BrowserDocumentLoaded"

What do you think?

RevBrowser question

[Klaus on-rev]

Hi all,

does someone know if there is a mesge that is sent AFTER a URL has loaded 
but BEFORE it is displayed, so one can check the source html and maybe cancel 
the display if necessary?

Did not find it in hte docs.
"BrowserDocumentComplete" will be too late, page is already displayed.

Any hints very appreciated!

Yes, that's what I do now, load the URL and then check the html source first
and "put true into browsercancel" if necessary.

Takes a lillte more time, but what the heck :-D

Unfortunately "browsercancel" is also not in the docs as 
"libUrlSetSSLVerification"
I was looking for yesterday :-/

loading a https page on OS X

[Klaus on-rev]

Hi all,

I tried to load a page from an https server and got of course an
error because the user certicitate was not found.

No username or password required for the site!

the result was:
error -Error with certificate at depth: 0  issuer  ...
...
...
err 20:unable to get local issuer certificate 

So since any internt browser can do this,  my question is how can I do?

Are there any "generic" certificates in some folder on the users hd that I can 
set "the sslcerificates" to?

I seem to remember that this was a topic on this list, but can't remember the 
thread title.

Any hint are very appreciated!

something like this should work:

1. set some properties for "the templatestack":
the rect to the screenrect
backgroundcolor to black
loc to the screenloc
blendlevel to 100 = completely transparent

2. create stack "the_cover"
3. set blendlevel in a repeat loop up to 0**
4. Now do your work behind this stack
5. set blendlevel of htat stack in a repeat loop to 0**
6. Close stack "the_cover"

** Experiment a bit wiht the "step" in the repeat loop, maybe "step 5" or "step 
10" will do

Stack script (or script of card 1):

You can also set this in the inspector for the stack!

put this into the stack script

Hm, on the second thought I would rather:

when deleting lines in data, you should start from the END of the data like:
...
repeat with i =  the num of lines of tData DOWN to 1
   if line i of tData = empty then 
  delete line i of tData
  end if
end repeat
...

"repeat for each" is READ only, which means you cannot modify (or delete) the 
value in X in your case!
X in this case will hold the CONTENT of the line and not its line number!

Change it like this and it will work:
...
repeat for each line X in tData
   if X <> empty then 
 put X & CR after newData
  end if
end repeat
delete char -1 of newData
put newData into tData
## Or just use newData from now on...

Ah, well, yes, I remember and also the workaround to make this work!
You have to set the defaultstack first to the stack where you want to attach 
the drawer!

So for William this should work:
...
set the defaultstack to "Clients"
drawer stack "consignees" at right aligned to top
...

Imagine you had a machine with OS 9 or even 8 running!

:-)

MacOS <> MacOS X!
MacOS = everything <= OS 9!

But drawers DO work on OS X!
Just tested and worked fine.

Could you post your script to open a drawer?
Maybe a typo in the syntax or whatever...

Yep, or just use shell on Mac and Win (no idea about Linux, but might be 
similar to MacOS)!

Put these two lines into a custom property of your stack or wherever

Set TypeLib = CreateObject("Scriptlet.TypeLib")
result = TypeLib.Guid

And then use this function to get a UUID:

function get_uuid
if the platform = "MacOS" then
put shell("uuidgen") into tUUID
  else
do (the YOUR_CP_NAME_HERE of stack "your stack with the CP") as VBScript
put the result into tUUID

  ## Comes in {} on Windows!
delete char -1 of tUUID
delete char 1 of  tUUID
  end if
  return tUUID
end get_uuid

Yep, and when they are at it, they could make the engine a bit more intelligent

1. You only provide the STRING "School report" to the SAVE command!
Probably you mean "save STACK "School report..."?

2. You only provided the target FOLDER and no filename!
Hint: specialfolderpath(35) will give you that folder on all win versions!
...
save STACK "School report" as (specialfolderpath(35) & "/" & "School report.rev"
## Richards debug code here...
...

Hope that helps.

These functions will only return a path to a FOLDER, 
as the name "specialFOLDERpath" suggests!
You have to provide a filename, too!

Like:
...
specialFolderPath(26) & "/" & "your_prefs_file.prf"
...

See above "binfile:..." requires a filename but you only supply a FOLDER.

I think you cannot add a FILENAME to "answer file"! (What if the fiel does not 
exist?)
Leave the "/Plans_Studet" and it will work!
...
answer file "Open Student Plans file:" with specialFolderPath("documents")
## WORKS!
...

You could add this to the prompt:
...
 answer file "Open file :" with...
...
And then check if the user chose the right file.

Re: ObjectList as a variable won't go?

[Klaus on-rev]

Hi all,

hm, looks like I missed the explanation why "DO" has to be involved?!

Anyway, I ususally do this:

on mouseUp
  repeat with i = 1 to the number of groups of group "workarea"
set the SELECTED of grp i of grp "workarea" to TRUE
  end repeat
end mouseUp

Et voila, all objects/groups selected.

You supply a path to a FOLDER here, is that correct?
Shouldn't it be:

launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app"

??? Sorry, don't know what you mean?

I "placed" that fully functional(!) widget from the "Object library" in my stack
removed its icon and set the "ink" of that namely button to "noop" in the
"Inspector".

After that the (now invisible) button still worked. What am I missing?

the resize widget is a button (if we mean the same thingie)!
So you can just set its "icon" to empty and its "ink" to "noop" and that's it 
:-)

If you want its icon to have the right color, then you will have to edit the 
image 
shown in the button or use your own image for this resizer.

Did you resize the image?
Sounds like the image resizes to its orginal dimensions after setting the 
filename or importing it (again).

In the "Inspector" palette -> "Size & position" check "Lock size and position" 
(lockloc) after you set the correct size of that image object.
That should fix it, if my presumption is correct ;-)

if you mean a gif/jpeg file as the banner then this is nothing more than

Maybe...

I have to apologize Haroldo, the logic in your script is correct!

But maybe "go next cd OF THIS BG" is making Rev choke somehow?

Use this instead:


on arrowkey tKey
  switch tKey
  case "right"
  if the optionKey is down then
go first card of next bg
else
   go next card of this bg
end if
  break
  case "left"
 if the optionKey is down then
  go last card of previous bg
else
   go previous card of this bg
 end if
   break

   # Now let all other arrowkeys pass
   default
 pass arrowkey
break
 end switch
end arrowkey

I tend to use "switch" since this makes scripts better readable than lots of 
nested "if... then" statements.

check the "movestopped" message in the dictionary!

Put this into the card script:

   put the target

This will put the name of the object that has stopped moving in the message box

oh, sorry, I forgot important things -> without waiting!

...
lock moves
## or -> set the lockmoves to true

move grc 1 from X,Y to Y,Z in 2 secs without waiting
move grc 2 from Z,W to H,K in 3 secs without waiting
## more moving objects here...
unlock moves
...

Because I forgot to add "without waiting" the first graphic moves and blocked
the moves of the other objects! That's why this did not work as exspected!

use "lock moves" first, then move all objects and then use "unlock moves":
...
lock moves
## or -> set the lockmoves to true

move grc 1 from X,Y to Y,Z in 2 secs
move grc 2 from Z,W to H,K in 3 secs
## more moving objects here...
unlock moves
...

"unlock moves" (or "set the lockmoves to false") acts like the starting shot in
