Re: detecting for how long a key is being pressed
hi Malte: thanks for the script -- the trick with keeping track of the last key pressed worked fine. it solved my problem. best, olli.

If you need a more reliable script just let me know.

If stack B is the mainstack of stack A, there's nothing you have to do, the message will be sent up the path and the mainStack will return the result. If stack B is a separate stack, the easiest way is: start using stack B from the openStack handler of stack A.

hi david: here is the code that doesn't work. the function is called from handlers with a tab-separated list of values (the data for the array and the keys). when i trace the function, the local var lPPArray appears to be doing fine, however, the calling handler doesn't get the array back. perhaps you could try this out and see whether it works ... thanks a lot! olli. -- this function gets a tab-separated list of -- values (ppData) and a tab-separated list of -- keys (ppKeys). then an array is filled up -- with the ppData values and returned function gF_LoadPPRec pData,pKeys put empty into lPPArray set the itemDelimiter to tab repeat with i = 1 to the number of items of pKeys put item i of pData into lPPArray[(item i of pKeys)] end repeat return lPPArray end gF_LoadPPRec 11/26/02, David Vaughan wrote: can you reveal some code? ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

ftp: how to prevent access to file currently being accessed?

Of course this won't do anything if users access it from another application.

Re: Building serious scientific applications with RunRev...
i do not agree with the general statement if you want to program a serious scientific app, you better learn C. from my experience that is true only for some problems. for example, if you would like to analyze fMRI data with an algorithm of your own, well, you'll better learn C. and sometimes you need structures (struct in C, record in pascal) in order to model more complex data, then C or pascal is the better choice (for example if you want to do some complex modelling). but RR can be used successfully for scientific applications -- i am an experimental psychologist and use it nearly everyday: i prepare my data for later analysis (clean up files, merge data, rearrange files), create my experiments, manage some databases. it probably isn't the best tool to do 3d live rendering, but about that i am not sure. on the other hand, perhaps the stuff i do is not considered serious science ... best, olli. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

The current workaround is to go under the View menu and set the LookAndFeel to Preview Mac OS. This emulates the look of the classic interface I believe.
