Re: [OT] What's an iPad?
I just got a 16 GB iPad yesterday. I was thinking of it as a large iPod touch, but it is not. It is something new that is a blast to use. I think it will change the way people casually use technology and is a big step forward in consumer electronics. After using it for the last day, I think it is a good value as well. It can replace a net book, kindle, and a hand-held game system as well as being a media system for photos, video and music. Much more fun than I expected and I would suspect it will be a widely copied model over the next years by other companies. - Mike Mike Brown Cyber-NY Interactive 212-475-2721 Ext. 306 www.cyber-ny.com m...@cyber-ny.com Follow Us On Twitter http://www.twitter.com/cyberny On Apr 11, 2010, at 11:59 AM, Neal Campbell wrote: I had mine delivered from China on April 3rd since I ordered it the day it was available for ordering.

The screensaver will launch from Windows but immediately quits as if you moved the mouse... Even if the mouse is completely stationary. It is my understanding that Windows handles all of the functions of a screensaver made in the .scr format but your application has to have a function that waits for the Windows message sent to it to know when to quit.

Re: Making Screensavers with Revolution -Example Stack
Here is a link for downloading the Rev Stack that can be made into a screensaver on Windows OS: http://clients.cyber-ny.com/rev/ScreenSaver.rev To make this into a screensaver, you would save it as a Standalone and then replace the .exe extension with .scr. Then take the new .scr file you created and drop it into the windows directory of your PC. From your PC's Start menu, select Settings and then Display Settings. A pop-up with display settings will open. Select the Screen Savers tab and you should be able to locate the new ScreenSaver from the menu of options. Set it to display in 1 minute and then save. After a minute, the screensaver should appear. When you move the mouse, it will quit. This is a crude example where I have used a single logo image that fades in and out at different point on the screen. I stored the script that controls the screensaver effect and repeat loops in a hidden button called MoveLogo. The scripts that initiate the screensaver effect are stored in the card's script. The stack script contains the quit methods and a script for centering and resizing the stack for different monitors. Any suggestions or improvements are welcome!!

Re: Develop on Windows or Mac?
The Revolution team has done an excellent job of providing a truly cross-platform development tool with very little differences! I have developed Revolution applications on both a Mac G4 and Windows 2000 XP machines and have not run into any platform related bugs. From my experience, Revolution seems to run equally well on both Mac Windows machines. I do not detect a performance difference or advantage relating to the software. Because I am more comfortable working from Mac OS X, I tend to do 90% of development from the Mac, BUT when it comes time to distribute to a Windows market, I always have to load my Rev Stack onto a Windows PC and do cosmetic changes because the final stack or standalone does not display the same on both operating systems. Text fields, labels and other elements such as buttons will shift position so alignment is off. Also, background colors that appear white or transparent from the Mac can display with a shaded color on Windows until you go to the color palette and assign a color. If you are building apps for a Windows audience and want to avoid this extra step, you may choose to develop directly from Windows. I choose to develop on a Mac because I like all of the other Mac friendly design tools that I use for the interface elements and I prefer the Mac OS X environment... So for me, it is worth the extra steps at the end of the project to clean up alignments from a Windows computer or using a Windows computer as a visual reference.

Re: Relative File Name
Hi Scott, I am not sure if this is what you were asking, but for getting files stored in a folder relative to my stack I do the following. I get the filename of my Rev stack or App and store the location in a variable such as gStackLoc. You have to delete the last item of the filename from the variable because that will be the actual name of your stack. I do that by scripting: Global gStackLoc Put the filename of this stack into gStackLoc Set the itemdelimiter to / Delete the last item of gStackLoc That way when I look for a file that is always stored in a folder relative to my stack location I can add the path to the end the variable like this: Get file gStackLoc /images/image1.gif Or Global gFileLoc Put gStackLoc /images/image1.gif into gFileLoc Get file gFileLoc Maybe somebody out there has a simpler method for this, if not I hope this info is helpful.

I don't suppose there are other Rev functions for launching an App from all platforms or opening a folder? I will use get the platform and systemversion functions to implement individual methods if no such Rev functions exist. Thanks again for the help!!

A method for opening folders from Rev
Just to put some closure on this issue, I was able to open a folder using the following scripts that Ken Ray and John Nunez helped with: Please Note: These scripts are for opening a pre-designated folder from your Rev Stack or Standalone and will work from the Hard Drive or a CD-ROM. If you want the user to select a folder, add the Answer Folder or File method. These scripts also assume the folder path is relative to the Standalone path like on a CD-ROM. For Rev Stacks on Mac OS 8.6 - OS X: on MouseUp global MyFolderPath put the filename of this stack into MyFolderPath -- Gets the relative path set the itemdelimiter to/ delete the last item of MyFolderPath -- Deletes the name of your stack put :FolderName after MyFolderPath -- adds your folder name replace / with : in pAppPath -- makes path compatible with AppleScript put tell application quote Finder quote cr \ activate cr \ open folder quote MyFolderPath quote cr \ end tell into tScript -- Assembles AppleScript do tScript as AppleScript -- Sends AppleScript to Mac OS end MouseUp For Rev Stacks on Win OS (98, ME, 2000,) Not tested on XP: on Mouseup global MyFolderPath put the filename of this stack into MyFolderPath set the itemdelimiter to/ delete the last item of MyFolderPath -- Deletes the name of your stack put \FolderName after MyFolderPath -- adds your folder name replace / with \ in MyFolderPath -- makes path compatible Windows set the hideConsoleWindows to true get shell(start MyFolderPath) -- uses Windows console to open folder end Mouseup I hope this is helpful... - Mike Mike Brown Cyber-NY Interactive 212-475-2721 1-888-70-CYBER [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Ken Ray [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: Sons of Thunder Software Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2002 14:50:39 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Opening folders from Rev Shoot...

Re: Opening folders from Rev
Hi Scott, I'm using an absolute path to locate the folder (I use the filename function to get it). That part works great. I test it by running the script through a fld in the stack that displays the path. I can then copy that same path and execute it from the Windows Run window or from an OS Window and it will pop the folder open. The get shell(start MyFolderPath) script works in a Rev Stack just not in an Executable. I think I need an alternative method to the Start portion of the script.

Hi Ken, I did try your script on Win 98 but without any luck. The get shell(C:\Temp.lnk) part of the script doesn't seem to do anything.

Re: More More Movie Difficulties
Hi Jeanne, Thanks for your response to my videoclip playback issue. I already tried all of those recommendations in my last two weeks of investigating videoclip display. I have spent a lot of time setting up test fields and test stacks to identify the clip to be played. After trying every available codec and testing across multiple platforms, the only format of video I have personally been able to play back within Revolution is the .mov (Quicktime) format. This script only plays back .mov format: on mouseup play videoclip moviename.avi end mouseup I am only looking for confirmation on this. If I create an .avi movie file using the industry standard Media Cleaner Pro application in any compression codec (intel indeo, cinepak, ir 2, sorenson, etc...), it will not play back from Rev although the same clip will play back in MetaCard, Windows Media Player, QuickTime and in some cases Real on both Mac and Win OS. Rev documentation offers very sparse info on movie play back but it does list the ability to play back a .avi clip from the script I described. I guess I though video playback through REV would be a hotter issue, but it seems to be falling flat on the discussion list - so I apologize for bringing it up again. I will be sure to list anything I find out about this in the event somebody else experiences the same issues. Thanks, Mike on 7/13/02 11:41 PM, Jeanne A. E.

Thanks Mike, I could be wrong, but my understanding is that RR uses QT to play .avi movies. In otherwords, without QuickTime, avi movies cannot be played. I don't think RR or MC supports playback except through QT. -Chipp PS you can alway include a QT installer on your CD-ROM. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mike Brown Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 6:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: More Movie Difficulties Hello, I am still having problems displaying avi movies in Rev on Windows (98, 2000, ME) systems on a consistent basis.

Re: More More Movie Difficulties
Troy, on a Windows OS machine it would most likely use Windows Media Player. I'm not sure though - somebody at Rev could better answer that question. You can test the theory by implementing the script in a MetaCard stack and playing back on a Win OS PC without QuickTime Installed. I created several presentations this way.

displaying movies in Rev
Hi All, What is the best format for displaying a video clip in Revolution on a Windows system such as XP or Win 2000? I have used .avi files in the past with mixed results an would like to know if anyone has recommendations on the best, optimized format.

Re: displaying movies in Rev
Hi Klaus, With QT you will have excellent playback in RR and lots of possibilities to control the movie (more than a simple start and stop...) I agree with you QT is the best but unfortunately is not widely supported within the Win OS world. I need a fairly dependable format for a presentation distributed to Win users. I will ask around and see if QT is pre-installed with XP OS...

Thanks, Mike Brown first there is nothing like a best format ;-) It depends on the situation, hardware etc... But in general i can say that i have the best results when using the QuickTIme format with its wonderful codecs. Of course this demands QT to be installed on the system. I think it is already pre-installed on XP... Is it ? With QT you will have excellent playback in RR and lots of possibilities to control the movie (more than a simple start and stop...) And QT supports lots of different file-types. So you can put avi, mpg, swf (yes, Flash !) and mov into a player and it will play. (Not to mention the sound and image formats that are supported by QT, but that is another story... :-) That's why i choose QT for playback of video-footage in RR/MC. Hope that helps...

Re: creating an installer?
For Windows installers you can also use Setup Generator available for free at download.com. It works really well. I've been using it for the last year without any problems.

deslecting the line tool
Good Morning, I have a question regarding the selection and deselection of the line too. I have a button with this script: on mouseup set the tool to line tool end mouseup That sets my pointer to the line drawing tool, but I cant find a script or method to switch back to a pointer or browse tool. When I placed a script in another button to set the pointer to the browse tool, it doesn't work. The line tool just draws a dot or line on top of the button. Any recommendations?
