runrev 20 alpha4 state

2003-03-24 Thread Peter Fink
I did not follow the RR discussion for a while. I'd like to ask someone from
the community the following.

(1) Is RR 2.0alpha4, that is 2.0B0.97, stable enough, from the experience?
(1a) at least as stable as 1.1.1r2 -- which is stable?

(2) what does it mean: field palette, and other palettes are not available?
The field inspector is there.
(2a) the color properties are more hard to access than before.

(3) where is documentation about version 2.0? At least some deltas would be
needed by me.

thanks for an answer.

When will Runtime revolution 2.0 be released 
?  Could it be in March 2003?

menus: menu item numbers?

2002-12-12 Thread Peter Fink
Is it possible to work with menu items by item number, instead of by name
(label)?

I would need it
- to set the currently selected item  ("set the menuItem of btn "optionmenu"
to 3")
- to find the currently selected item ("put the menuItem of btn "optionmenu"
into V")

instead of the scripted workarounds:
- setting the label myself ("set the label of btn "optionmenu" to line 3  of
btn "optionmenu")
and on menupick pItem
- finding the item number myself ("put lineoffset(pItem,text of btn
"optionmenu") into V")

Re: Develop / Test / Build Cycle

2002-07-24 Thread peter . fink

I always (always refers to HC) had a card which contained the script to

it made a selective copy of the stack, containing the distributive cards
only.
Additionally it made automatic translations from translation cards, since
here I need at least two language versions. The test code (scripts, objects)

The built-in standalone builder is just one step in the creation of golden

Compare it to C++: you have to build separately, without debug symbols.

The more hurting issue is not related to date and RR. A "button" is locally,

it is no more than about 20 lines of code, from a parsed date.
and an option on a control card whether to use the RR built-in code or the
application hand-made code. Both are nice and easy.

actually it is better to have the starting days of the months in a list,
i.e. 0,31,59,90,... for a non-switching year, but 0,31,60,91,... for a switching
year.

No, that's not the problem. There's a bug. Additionally, dateItems sets
midnight to 2 AM which is also a bug.

sims: it is not a lot of work to do the date conversion by hand. it needs
a Switching Year (Schaltjahr) algorithm for calculation of the length of
february, and a list of the length of the months (31,28,31,30,31 etc.).
You can even use the partially correct date items to do part of the parsing.

How to create a MPEG movie

2002-07-17 Thread peter . fink

Hi
this is not really a RR question. The context that I can play MPEG movies
in RR but the ones I pulled from the internet are not really presentable.

I'm also able to create a movie, from my web cam, in .AVI format, e.g. with
INDEO 5 compression (and others). But I cannot make it in .MPEG format.
Saving with Microsoft MPEG V4 compression does not work either. 

What tool(s) would allow me to create a movie in .MPEG format? How is that
usually done? What is .MPEG, as opposed to .AVI with some compressor?

Thanks for all answers!

In my opinion the way how RR handles images as objects on cards, in a stack
or a substack, is ok. In my larger stacks there are anyway some cards that
hold the scripts and other program data. The images can go to similar cards.
It makes sense if the images do not need be stored in every stack that uses
them. It seems (by other posts) that this is indeed the case.

On this Windows 98 SE system, the following 11 facts hold, regarding movies,

(a) play videoclip "movie.avi" does not play the movie that is contained
in the stack.

(b) play videoclip "movie.mpeg" does not the the movie that is contained
in the stack.

(c) play videoclip "f:/movie.avi" does play the file indicated.

(d) play videoclip "f:/movie.mpeg" does play the file indicated.

(e) play videoclip "movie.avi" does not play the file in the defaultfolder.

(f) play videoclip "./movie.avi" does not play the file in the defaultfolder.

(g) play videoclip "../revolution1.1.1/movie.avi) does play the file in
the defaultfolder.

(h) (i) (k) same for "movie.mpeg" as (e) thru (g).

(l) creating a quicktime player works mostly as advertised, for movies.
Except some .mpeg cause an error message "cannot create movie reference".

(m) play audioclip "sound.wav" does play the sound contained in the stack.

(n) play audioclip "f:/sound.wav" does play the file indicated.

(o) creating a quicktime player works exactly as advertised, for wav and
mp3 sound files.

(p) a quicktime player is always at the front layer. It cannot be hidden
with an opaque button (which would make sense, given the quality of some
test videos that are available to me).

updating the software will "always" need updating of the data, for the new

your question was also relevant in HC. I solved it this way: on an application

thanks, you point into a plausible direction.
the AltGr key counts as an option key, and the script editor looks for it.
My notebook has a left Alt and an AltGr. However not everything is transparent,
because a test keydown handler in a field behaved strange:
  on keydown ch
if the optionkey then
pass keydown

Klaus, this does mean that, when I press the keys that should produce said
characters, they do not go into the script in the script editor of RR. 
For example AltGr+2 does not produce the @ (Deutsch (Schweiz))
For example AltGr+Q does not produce the @ (Deutsch (Standard)). 

Could you try on your system pls? Thanks Peter

Comments

I'm really impressed by RR. it is rich of features. Everything on the HC
level I touched works. The new things that I touched work too. I'm impressed
by images (blend, image icons) and sound (QT player). The additions upon
HC make sense.
There are glitches, but no worse than other environments I know.

Questions

1) menuButton() function: what is it supposed to do? it does not return
a sensible result to me.

2) newTool message: I do get this message for the choose someTool command
in a script, but not when a tool is clicked in the object or paint palette.
How to make that work?

3) how to edit a polygon graphic: I can move points and insert new points
(even accidentally), but how to delete a point?

4) what are the built-in sounds, if any?
where is "boing", "harpsichord"?
where is play "boing" tempo 200 "c4e c dq c f eh" ?

5) I can't type the characters \ | [ ] @ in the script editor on a swiss-german

script editor @\[ ] on non-english keyboard

2002-07-10 Thread peter . fink

- I cant type the following characters in the script editor. In a text field
however (and elsewhere) it works.
  @  \  | [  ] { }

these characters have to be typed locally with the Alt Gr modifier, or with
ctrl+alt.

- Additionally, pressing Alt Gr opens the script editor (seemingly half
the time only, or Alt Gr 2x) in addition to placing the character in the
field.

- my keyboard is swiss-german Deutsch (Schweiz) where those characters are
on Alt Gr positions. The same phenomen is also on the FRG-german keyboard
setting Deutsch (Standard) where all the characters are on different positions
(but all with Alt Gr). This is on Windows.

thats easy, fields do not have a numberFormat property. It works as follows:
  set the numberFormat to "0.00"
  put (numeric expression) into fld "xy"

  set the numberFormat to "0.000"
  add 0 to fld "xy"

  set the numberFormat to "0."
  put fld "xy"+0 into fld "xy"

  set the numberFormat to "0.0"
  put (numeric expression) & "" into variable

true, at least it worked this way in Hypercard (see p. 442).

Scott you are right, the parameter to the callback msg is a socketID.

(I was wrong and would have changed my posting if possible).

(what is also true: accept "assigns" a connection ID, but does not deliver
it to the script(s). the script(s) learn the connection ID at callback time
and in the form of a socket ID.)

Scott thanks. The RR docs say that the parameter to the callback msg of
accept is the IP address, but you specify that it is the connection ID.
This clarifies it.

Questions of 7 jul 02

2002-07-08 Thread peter . fink

I'd like to ask if someone could help me clarify some questions that I did
not find the answer to.

1) accept command returns a connectionID. How and where is it returned?

2) import command creates an image. how to reference that image? what is
its ID?

3) import snapshot creates an image. how to reference that image? what is
its ID?

4) how to work with the image library? how to accumulate images to be used
as icons? 
(I found that an image placed on a card appears in the image library and
can be used as an icon (really great), but how put an image into the library
without showing it on a card first)

thanks for help (or a pointer to where all this is documented).
Peter

I'm right now in the processing of learning Revolution RR. It looks like
a great tool. Since I'm yet learning I will not contribute in detail to
the subject. RR looks stable, featureful, useful and with the same amount
of glitches that similar tools in the course of development do have (remember
anyone those Basilisk builds <100?).

Script Editor Menus missing

2002-07-08 Thread peter . fink

The script editor menus: File, Edit and Text are missing. They are in the
Documentation. The other menus: Handler, Script, Bookmarks and View are
present in the script editor window. And there are some little buttons for
example Plain Bold and LineWrapAround. The Script and View menus contain
some of the missing commands.
I'm not sure if this matters or is just a newer script editor.

USD 134 (total amount), or USD 114 is next to nothing, or infinitely huge,
depending on the use to be made. And it is not just one item, but to be
multiplied by a dozen other tools. 

I agree however completely that no one can do its work below cost (there
might the PDF distribution be handy, which does not require a printer and
a dhl).

Manual announcement

2002-07-02 Thread peter . fink

Hi,

According the shop this costs extra 35$ (at least inside EU).
This keeps me from ordering at the moment.

Or will my credit card just show the promised 79$ ?

Can someone please fix the shop.

pleasepleaseplease  :)


Gruß,   
Claus Dreischer.



Shipping to Switzerland is even more, USD 55, from UK (while actual shipping
cost isn o more than around USD10). Switzerland is still in Europe.
