Re: LiveCode Personal Banner
Even though I can understand splash screens feel annoying, I can not see this as a surprise, as this is clearly stated on the runrev.com homepage: "Applications created with this license will include a splash screen or watermark. The Server Deployment Pack comes with a limit on the number of connections with this license type." http://runrev.com/products/livecode/license-types-overview As that edition is much cheaper than previous studio licenses I can understand RRs decision in adding this. I don´t know about Director nowadays, but when I had to decide if it is RR or Director back in the day, each Projector built displayed a "Made with Macromedia" dialogue that could not be dismissed. It is worth noting, that the commercial packs do not have this Banner. Just my 2 € cents worth.

Re: Re: Which messages are sent to a datagrid on opencard?
Hi Zryip, the dgs have no persistent data. they are populated at a later point. Neither cached controls Some of them have custom sorting however, that should only happen after the data has been populated Data is a handful of hundret lines at max. Most of them are in the <100 lines range. I tried locking mesages now, before entering the card and that appears to save me 2 seconds of waiting, without breaking anything.

Which messages are sent to a datagrid on opencard?
Hi, I have a rather complex stack that needs quite a few datagrids on a card. Now when said card is opened it is noticeably laggy. I guess this is due to the messages that are sent to the datagrids on (pre)opencard. PreopenControl or something the like? If I remove the dgs, or lock messages before going to the card, everything is speedy. Now I wonder: Can I lock messages before going to said card and avoid the lagging and still being able to populate may data?

[script optimization challenge] Multi dimensional array filtering
Hey all, I just try to implement a life search on a datagrid. I was doing this with the dgtext property. However this turns out to be too slow on elder machines if there are many records (30k +) Now I am trying to instead of setting the dgtext, to work with the dgdata. This could speed up the whole process quite a lot, as the data would not need to be turned into an array again by the data grid. Problem: arrays can not be filtered. So what I would like to do is find the quickest script that simulates array filtering in n dimensions if at any rate possible. My clumsy first try looks like this. This only "filters" the second level yet, so turning this into a function for n-levels deep would be ideal. :) on mouseUp local testarray,tprocess,test repeat with i=1 to 3 put any item of "meier,müller,john,doe" into testarray[i]["name"] end repeat answer the number of lines of the keys of testarray put the millisecs into test put the keys of testarray into tprocess repeat for each line theLine in tprocess if testarray[theline]["name"]="john" then delete variable testarray[theline] end if end repeat answer the number of lines of the keys of testarray&cr&the millisecs-test end mouseUp This runs in 31 ms on my machine (Intel MacBook first gen, 2.16 GHz). I would like to have this quicker if possible. Also I´d like the runtime on your machines, especially Macs pre Intel era. Any thoughts highly appreciated.

Re: Webinar questions
Hi Jim, > FIrst, how does one implement vertical text? The implementation was done the following way. Set up the text in transparent buttons. Fiddle with the margins. Import snapshot from button. Set the resizeQuality of snapshot to best. Rotate the image. For speed reasons do all this with messages locked. Obviously, this only works for relatively small portions of text and an engine version >=3 is recommended. This is far from ideal, as it does not print too well. For printing purposes a bit more work is required and I still look into that area. I would love to see real vector text in Rev at some point. This would be so useful.

Re: Re: mouse gestures
Thanks Terry. :) Tom: Thanks for the kind words. > I wonder if adding the distance would slow it down? I doubt. It might depend on what you want to collect, though I don´t think so. The lib already polls the distance from the last recorded x,y position to the mouseloc. If you hook in a script local var that you reset on libGestMouseDown and then on libGestMouseMove x,y add to that var you should be good. distance is implemented into the lib already, so that should be pretty straightforward. It could look like this: -- new local here local lDistanceTraveled on libGestMouseDown pButton if pButton <> 3 then exit libGestMouseDown if lSensivity is empty then put 10 into lSensivity set the uStartGesture of me to the mouseloc put item 1 of the uStartGesture of me into lOldX put item 2 of the uStartGesture of me into lOldY put empty into LGestureList put 0 into lDistanceTraveled end libGestMouseDown on libGestMouseMove x,y if the uStartGesture of me is empty then exit libGestMouseMove local tDist,tAngle put distance (lOldX,lOldY,x,y) into tDist put findAngleX(lOldx,lOldY,x,y) into tAngle if tDist>lSensivity then add tDist to lDistanceTraveled --[snip] function libGestLastDistanceTraveled return lDistanceTraveled end libGestLastDistanceTraveled Now you could call libGestLastDistanceTraveled() on libGestDone and would be set :) Would love to see what you come up with. :-) Cheers, Malte ___ 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
mouse gestures
Hey, as sitting in hotels in the middle of nowhere is boring, I took a couple of hours to write a little lib to implement mouse gestures in Rev. You can find it either in the new revOnline or type in the messagebox: go stack URL "http://www.derbrill.de/fun/libMouseGestures.rev"; This lib enables you to implement mouse gestures in your own stacks. Just start using the stack by issuing: start using stack "libMouseGestures" To tell a control or card to listen to gestures you need to set a custom property of that control or card to true: set the libGest["listenToGestures"] of this card to true Now the card is listening to gestures. A gesture is performed by rightclicking and dragging (or control clicking and dragging for those with a one button mouse) To react to a gesture trap the libGestDone message generated by the lib. The drag directions are send as a parameter in form of a semicolon delimited list e.g. up;left;downright The stack has 3 cards with example script to react to gestures. This one was hammered together quickly. Much room for improvement. Hope you like it. If anyone feels like improving on it I´d like to see the changes.

You will have to find a service that registers your domain name for you and points all requests to www.mydomain.com to on-revs name servers. I hope people who already did that will chime in here.

Re: on-Rev and Domain Names
Hi Colin, If you forward from your original domain it is like someone asks you "Where do I find your candy store that has the goodies" at your office. You then tell them "It is in abc.on-rev street, this is just the office, move along, nothing to buy here" You redirect them there. If you do the DNS "trick" it is like those people look into the yellow pages to look for the location of the candy store directly. The DNS stuff translates the domain name you enter to the actual IP address your content is hosted on. If you point the domain to on-rev s name servers any request to the domain will land on the on-rev space and the domain name will show in the browser. This service costs a few pennies on top of your hosting cost for the people that add the entry (just like an entry into the yellow pages literally) Hmm.

put revCreateXMLTree(tData, true, true, false) into tId
function decodeUtf8 pContents
local tContents
put unidecode(uniencode(pContents,"UTF8"),"english") into tContents
if chartonum(the last char of tContents)=10 then delete the last

return tContents

Make sure to encodeUTF8 when you put your data into the XML and to

[ANN] chartsEngine - now on revSelect
Hi all, just a quick note that our latest library for Revolution is now life in revSelect. chartsEngine. Before I get into the usual blahblah of what it can do, I would like to express my gratitude to a few people on this list how have been extremely helpful during final spurt. Wouter. Thanks for being the genius you are and helping me speeding it up so much. Sarah, Jb, Jerry, Graham. Thanks for all the time you have put into the tests and helping me polishing it. Wouldn´t know what I would have done without your help. My peers on revSelect and at Runtime: Thanks for all the headups during the dev cycle. And finally all of you on this list who encouraged me to carry on after the burglary. THANK YOU. Now back to the lib: You can find more details and the download of the free trial version and example stack here: http://www.runrev.com/products/related-software/chartsengine/ chartsEngine brings to generating charts the same ease, power, and flexibility as animationEngine brings for Revolution animations. ChartsEngine is a powerful, yet lightweight library to create charts in a Revolution stack. It has been optimized to render data on the fly at high speed. It will extend Revolutions messagepath and makes its scripts available in any location in your Revolution application. To use it, make sure it is loaded into memory. Open the messagebox and type: start using stack "chartsengine" In the IDE you also can double click the chartsEngine stack to start using it. The following chartTypes are available: * Lines * LinesStacked * Bars * BarsStacked * Pie * Doughnut chartsEngine relies on setting properties for your charts. Most of these properties are "canset" properties. If you do not explicitly set them, chartsEngine defaults to standard values. Data is organized in cr delimited lists of items. The default itemDelimiter is comma. The default chart type is lines. This type lets you handle large amounts of data, while rendering very fast. Which chart type is best used in your projects depends on the data you want to display. Requirements: Revolution 3.0 or higher. Runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. PS: If you want it and also own an animationEngine license, watch your inbox closely. All existing animationEngine license holders will receive a voucher, that grants you 25% off. I really hope this library is useful to some of you, and I look forward to give the same quality of support, as we do with animationEngine.

Re: OT: Need a little help with package maker
Moin Tiemo, why would you want to create an installer for your app in first place? There are very few apps on the Mac that require an installation process. Usually these are those that need admin rights to install things in places a normal user would not have access to. Most apps are just drag and dropable to any place the user decides. Most of the time that will be the applications folder. These apps come as a (compressed) dmg, which contains the app, that can just be dragged over. Usually the readme file also is in there.

Re: When should cmd-period work?
> "It's dead, Jim." Jupp. For what it´s worth. I added a wait 10 millisecs with messages after your formatFld calls in the update handler. On first run I was able to command period out of it and rather surprised to see the script of stack revDebugger popping up pointing to (ebug mode is switched off here, so revDebugger might as well leave me alone): function revDebuggerEnabled return debuggerEnabled() end revDebuggerEnabled Not sure if that helps anyone tracking this down. In second run btw, it would just go into Jim mode again.

Btw. How did you come out of your total loss after the robbery? Are you on the line again? Getting there. :) The whole incident also has its upsides. Needing to rewrite vast amounts of code made the upcoming charts library a whole lot better. Cleaner code. Faster. I am not unhappy with that. :) It took a while to be able to sit in that office again. It used to be my ivory tower, now it is only 2 rooms I am not always compfortable in.

Re: Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Q on a german keyboard does not enter an '@' symbol in Revolution fields.
Moin Tiemo, this depends on how you type it I guess. Are you a 3 key or 2 key @ typer? You can get the @ symbol with either altgr + q or ctrl + alt + q on Win. The latter one fails. However, I thought that had been fixed :-/ Anyway.

Re: playing multi-sounds
Mark, please keep me up to date. Synthesis is far more than I would expect (cool though, very!) I was thinking more about a wrapper around a subset of openAL if that is at any rate feasible. That also might be overkill, but cool to have. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAL I would so love to play samples on more than one channel. For most apps I have in mind 4 or 8 channels would be enough. It would be cool if one could set the panning and the loudness for each channel. All I know is that the current implementation of audioclips is so last century. :) All the best, Malte ___ 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: playing multi-sounds
While we are at multichannel sound playing without QT again. Any external writers around here that could code such a beast for X-Plat use? I´d be willing to throw some $ in a pot. Here is my experience with multiple players: As others wrote already, it lags. Especially for short clips. But even worse. If you want to play more than a few, you might end up with a HD that spins like mad. Been there. Impractical. If I were the end user of a program that made my HD spin like mad and I would have no indication why that is (and I would never expect a few sound effects causing that) I would never ever launch that app again, as I would think it is malicious... *sigh* Cheers, Malte___ 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: Director-like multi-image "sprite" animation
FWIW here are my 2 cents. The most difficult problem you´ll face is how to react if a "frame" gets dropped. Slower machines may not be up to the challenge to render a complicated animation, or if the user has many apps open at the same time (and mail is starting to download many emails in the background for example) the animation might start to stutter. So it is a good idea to compute where the control must be located at the given point in time. I have done many experiments with this and some of the results went into animationEngines AEMoveTo handler. That one will tackle dropped frames and position the moving objects correctly to the given point in time. The next version of ae will have this for the other moving methods too. Hope that helps a bit, Malte___ 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

Given the game writers perspective to this, I really like the way the random algorithm the way it is implemented in Revolution, as a seeded algorithm can be used in many ways in games. It prevents the ability to cheat with undo systems in casual games, or even lets you set up whole galaxies without stuffing memory.

Hi all, today is the worst day in my self employment life. I arrived at the office today, just to learn that everything apple branded is gone. Stolen. Away. Not only that, but my external backup HD also vanished and a few things I was pretty fond of, like a keyboard (music) and a microphone. I do not care too much about the machines. Those are replacable. But I lost at least 3 months worth of data. I had something cool coming up, but I am afraid I am thrown back to point zero, at least with the documentation. The people I have been talking off list will know what I mean. So everyone who is involved with that project, I beg your patience, as I really need to start freshly on it. And just now I can't.

Re: Port Number for MYSQL - using MAMP
Hi Stephen, I use a MAMP server to test one of my applications here. Though I do not use trevors lib, but do it all "by hand". This line of code lets me connect to the machine: put revOpenDatabase(tDBType,tIP&":"&tPort,tDBName,tUser,tPass) into sDBID - sDBID now holds an integer that can be used to reference the connection where tDBType = "mySQL" , tIP is the IP of the machine I am connecting to, tPort= "8889" , tDBName is the name of the database, tUser = username and tPass is the password. You said that the controlpanel does not work though. I had that happen after a system update. I could not connect to the DB then with any other tool though. (mySQLQueryBrowser for example).

Hi Tiemo, I guess everyone has a different take on this and there are quite a few options. I will for sure not claim completeness in this email, nor will I claim to be right in any point I make. :) I think it is important not to be paranoid about piracy. There will always be the cheapstakes that will try to get everything for free. Those will never be your customers. They just won't. If they can not get it for free, they will search for something different. I don´t think these people is what I need to care about. If I use something sophisticated to "protect" my work, I only risk to challenge someone to get around my protection scheme. And if they try, they will get around it. Using 3rd party technology like wrappers around your application only increases the likelyhood that a cracker has it easier to get around the protection. If the protection technology is cracked for any other application, it will be fairly easy to get around it for MY app. too if it is protected using the same technology. I would only considder a wrapper option, if I used a payment processor with an affiliate system, that stores data in the wrapper to pay out my affiliates (custom builts) IMHO it is important to make it easy enough for a person that is willing to open the wallet to do so. And leave them with a "Yes, it was worth to pay for it" feeling. This is not only about the techology you use to protect your work, but also about the experience in buying it. Depending on the kind of application you develop and the way you deliver to your users, you have different options, which can leave your users with a positive feeling about your software or mildly to terribly annoyed. If you deliver on a disc, you might require the disc to remain in the drive, which I would not like to use. I would prefer all the stuff installed on my HD or if I need to save space, have the option to run of the Disc. If you deliver download versions you might go the timeout or the crippleware approach. A timeout can be based on a date xyz days after install, a given time of actual use or a number of launches, while a crippled version would become only fully functional after the app has been purchased. Both approaches require the user to enter an unlock code that he has to purchase from you. For different types of programs, different approaches might be the best fit. These methods require that you store some information in a sensible place on the users machine. So you would need to take care that the file is not too easy to find if you go with a timed copy. If you store the key for a crippled application, that would be less important, as it would not make sense to delete the unlock code and thus reverting the programm to demo mode. You have the option to call home, to check if the key they are trying to use has been stolen, but I do prefer not to. I do not trust apps that call home, why should anyone else? It is important to make the entering of the key as easy as possible (I learned that the hard way). Give an option to paste from clipboard and strip all whitespace before and after. Prompt the user if the stuff pasted is wrong (multiple lines for example) Nothing is more frustrating when you try to enter your user data and it is too complicated. If this works in your app, it is important to make it as easy as possible for your customer to pay you. If you have to click more than twice on your homepage to buy your product they might have lost interest already. If you use an online payment processor make sure to send out the registration immediately. Here is how I do it in my games: Game times out after an hour playtime. It has an unlock code checker and links to the order now page on my website. Payment is handled by PAYPAL (I know, i know) Once purchase is done PAYPAL sends a so called instant payment notification to my server. A PHP script receives the IPN and extracts the relevant purchase data from the IPN. The script then generates an unlock code that the checker in the game will parse. This code is sent by email and displays the unlock code to the user. The whole process is (hopefully) convenient for the buyer, but also saves me a heap of work, as I do no longer need to generate unlock codes by hand. 2 euro cents.

Re: [OT] Gorilla Marketing
Dear Richmond, if you have something to say to me, I always have an open ear for you, but do not try to be subtle on me, k? Does not work for non native speakers. I at least have the guts to address the kid directly without posting some vague messages. (Left out smiley intentionally) The "subtile" note your message brings across to me leads me to the conclusion that you did not get the point. If he wants to use my artwork this is not a big deal, I am pretty relaxed about copyright. I am not the suits and would not go unleashing the bloodhounds on the poor kids parents. However there is something the kid id propably not aware of, but which truly gets me upset. I do not want to pay for somebody elses cosmetics! If that makes me a gorilla, fine. If it does not fit your open sauce attitude also fine. You know me long enough from this list, to be able to judge that I am always willing to help out with stuff. If I am asked. Actually you used some of my stuff in your early demo stacks. You cared to ask me and that´s fine. I would not not have bothered if you wouldn´t have asked, as you did not put the hand in my wallet. So it would be unlikely your usage of my stuff had the potential to drive me out of business. I still have to pay for the traffic on my server and a *linked* image on a youtube profile can go terribly wrong. Each time that boys profile is viewed he causes load on my server that I have better use for. Now let him do the next "big thing" there and I will be unable to feed my family. Now, if you feel like it, continue being "subtle". Malte Frankly if some teenage boy feels the urge to pinch the registered logo of my language school and use it in the background of a YouTube movie I would be tickled pink. When things go wrong is when 'Gorillas' (we have a lot in Bulgaria; especially in Parliament) pinch logos and use them for vicious marketing of some completely unrelated product. sincerely, Richmond Marketing ___ 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: Re: XML Question
Hi David, could you send me the XML you are trying to parse and your script? I did not bother parsing atom feeds as yet, but have been working with XML quite a lot the last 1.5 years. Taking the example you posted in your previous mail (and adding the tag that you said would fail) just parses fine over here. http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"; xmlns:content=" http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"; xmlns:wfw=" http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"; xmlns:rdf=" http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"; xmlns:dc=" http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"; xmlns:cc="http://web.resource.org/ cc/"> Just a comment Yields this XML Text in Rev: http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"; xmlns:content=" http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/ " xmlns:wfw=" http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"; xmlns:rdf=" http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns# " xmlns:dc=" http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"; xmlns:cc="http://web.resource.org/cc/ " version="2.0"> Just a comment So I would like to see an actual feed you are trying to parse and the script you are using to do so. Are you trying to parse only a part of the feed? Not that it helps you in anyway, but if you do a google search for "atom XML namespaces" shows that people using other environments have (or have had) some headaches too.

Re: XML Question
While this is inconvenient behaviour, it might be argued that it is correct, or at least standard compliant. ;-) So before the behaviour is changed I would like this discussed. I think the reason why you seem to lose the tag is that the namespace is not defined. The tag is not lost, but loses the undefined namespace identifier though. If you parse XML like this: http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";> Just a comment You end up with this XMLText: http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";> Just a comment You could now still access the tags by looping over all children and siblings recursively. However, parsing a valid XML file like this: http://www.w3schools.com/furniture";> African Coffee Table 80 120 ends up with this XMLText: http://www.w3schools.com/furniture";> African Coffee Table 80 120 This would allow accessing the tags including the namespaces. There are XML libraries for other environments, that handle the 1st case exactly the way rev does, others do not lose the namespace. As far as I can tell version 2 is W3C compliant while version 1 is not. A bug in Revs external? Not sure about that but eager to hear other opinions.

[OT] Copyright infringement, sometimes a good way to do guerilla marketing :o)
Hi list, this an absolutely off topic post... I was reading my serverlogs yesterday night an have been a little puzzled of why a relevant amount of Traffic comes from youTube. Until now I was using youTube only passively. Looking at the detailed log revealed that some kid in the US has 'borrowed' the logo of one of my games to display as his background image. Not he did only use it without asking, but he also linked it directly from my server. I was unsure what to do. You can see my reaction here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-9DeTyGLhE Until now the kid does not seem to have noticed. http://www.youtube.com/user/magicguy777 All the best and have a good day, Malte ___ 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: MySQL timeout
Hi Terry, I experienced the same. The problem was only the case, if the machine running the mySQL server is not found on the Network though. If the machine is there, but the server is down it times out immediately, so I went for pinging the server first using shell and if that was successful try to connect to the DB.

Re: rev apps on iPhone?
I think the biggest problem with rev apps on the iPhone is Apple inc. As far as I understand they do not allow for dynamic scriptable environments. At least that is what I read on the tech sites I am visiting. That was the reason for no Java port as yet and would make it difficult for an environment like Rev, that is capable to load any stack from any Rev executable.. As long as Apples rules for that are not perfectly clear to have changed, I would not try to port it. No matter how much I would love to see an engine for the iPhone. *sigh* But it would be no use to have an engine which you can not ship with, no?

Hi JB, that was a rather stupid mistake of me. /* Note to self: You should now by now that one can not copy from a password protected stack. :-( */ Will get that fixed once back in the office.

Re: [ANN] animationEngine 2.9 available
Hi JB, I was just checking chipps stack (which is way cool by the way!!!) The problem is that it carries an old version of AE as a substack, so if you open chipps stack first then type into the messagebox delete stack "animationEngine" then save chipps stack and open the new version of ae and make that a substack of chipps stack and save again, all should be fine.

Re: [ANN] animationEngine 2.9 available
Hi JB, I have tried your stack and it keeps giving me errors. Maybe it is because I purchased AnimationEngine and it conflicts with your Demo version. What kind of errors do you get? animationEngine is a library stack. So you should just be able to use the newer one, given you use a recent Revolution version. (2.8 or higher required for animationEngine 2.9) Open animationEngine 2.9 and type into the messagebox: start using stack "animationEngine" Now all animationEngine functions, handlers and properties are available to your project. Next, open the stack ae29Demo.rev that you will find in the .zip archive you have downloaded. Hit the start button and you should see an animation playing. If it does play, everything has worked. If not I would be interested in your system setup, the version of revolution you are using and the error message. If you run animatioEngine 2.9 on the same machine as the previous version, it should autodetect your license code. It will not touch the previous installation, so you can fallback to version 2.1 any time if it turns out not to be working for you. As animationEngine is a library stack it can be located anywhere on our Harddisk. It just needs to be loaded into memory to work. However, if you have put the previous version into your plugins folder or have it made load automatically on startUp through other means, you will need to make sure that the older version is not in memory somewhere. The stacks do have the same name, so there might be a conflict there. Regarding the tutorials: It seems they got lost when Runtime Revolution Ltd. updated their website. I will inquire about the issue during business hours. The tutorials are not much but a Revolution standalone with tutorials that can be printed out. They date back to 2005, so they are a bit outdated nowadays. THere is new stuff to come in the next few days and I will announce that once I am ready to go.
