Re: LiveCode external/plugin question
Hi William, last year I've done a museum project where I had to put pc's into kiosk mode. Unfortunately the rawKeyDown approach didn't work since you can't capture key combinations like CTRL-ALT-DEL etc. The only way I could find was changing the registry. On the other hand, I seem to remember that Director offers an option to run applications in true kiosk mode. So what you are looking for should be possible in some way or another. Kind regards, Henk On Nov 4, 2010, at 18:00 , use-revolution-requ...@lists.runrev.com wrote: I was looking for true kiosk mode so Marks advise using IE isn't the right thing for me. I need all keys to be blocked. Editing the registry seems the only way but it needs the computer to reboot. I need my app on startup to block these keys without rebooting the machine. After closing the app the keys need to function again. Is this even possible? Have you tried putting in a rawKeyDown handler that doesn't pass the message? That should block all keystrokes, and won't affect any other apps. You probably will need to add a way to enable the keyboard again while you are working on the stack, otherwise you won't be able to type anything. Something like this: on rawKeyDown pKey if the environment is development then pass rawKeyDown end rawKeyDown ___ 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: Resizable grid of thumbnails
Hi Simon,
I don't think there is an option like that in Rev, unless of course you put
your pictures in a textfield ('imagesource' in Rev Dictionary).
But showing your thumbnails in a grid doesn't need to be that difficult. When
every picture is contained in a square, all you need to do is divide the width
of the stack by the width of the square, and then truncate the resulting value.
That way you get the number of pictures on a row, and then, using a double
loop, every picture is positioned.
HTH,
Henk

top row of thumbnails increases thus reducing the overall number of
rows which displays the thumbnails.
Ironically, in HTML I only have to assign the style float: left; to
each thumbnail to achieve this.
Is there something similar or does it require gobs of math to
calculate the loc of all thumbnails? If so, anyone have a good

Re: locking, permissions, data
We have seen this issue two times when an existing installation of one of our apps was copied to a new server.

Re: Passing variables between Flash and Rev
But if you also want to accept data from the Flash element, doesn't the Flash script need to reset the connection prior to sending data otherwise Rev doesn't know when to read from the socket. In the example above, Rev closes the socket each time after sending the data, forcing the Flash component to reconnect. Is there a cleaner approach to this? I believe that when I've done this in the past, I've just polled the socket for data. Hello Dave, Troy, and others, if I may ask another question about this one: Just polling the socket for data, does that mean doing a 'read from socket' say every second? Dave's solution is to close the socket every time. But that means you can't keep the connection to the Flash movie open, isn't it? I hoped I could open a Flash movie, set the initial variable values of it by sending them from Rev, and read these variables from the Flash movie before leaving the Rev card. Something like this: 1. open Flash movie, Flash movie connects to socket, Rev writes values to socket, Flash movie reads them and uses them to 'initialise' movie 2. user changes all sorts of values by clicking, dragging etc in Flash movie 3. when user clicks a Save button (in Rev), Rev writes returnVariables or something to socket, Flash reads it and then writes the variable values back to the socket. Rev reads them and saves them to a file. Kind regards, Henk -- Henk v.d.

Re: Passing variables between Flash and Rev
In the end, it works like this... you have Rev start listening for a socket connection, you have Flash connect to it, and you start communicating back and forth. I had trouble working out how to manage the connection from the Rev side. If you want Rev to push data to the Flash element at arbitrary times, you need to keep the connection open. But if you also want to accept data from the Flash element, doesn't the Flash script need to reset the connection prior to sending data otherwise Rev doesn't know when to read from the socket. In the example above, Rev closes the socket each time after sending the data, forcing the Flash component to reconnect. Is there a cleaner approach to this? I'm trying to build something like this, but I run into some issues I don't understand. The setup: A Rev app opening a socket connection 1987, starts listening at it. A flash movie displayed within a Rev window by revBrowser. Flash movie connects to the socket. First strange thing: when I open socket 1987 in Rev, and then have the Flash app connect to it, a second socket is opened. From Terminal lsof -i -P: Flash\x20 5051 username 13u IPv4 0x03d6594c 0t0 TCP *:1987 (LISTEN) Flash\x20 5051 username 22u IPv4 0x03d64200 0t0 TCP localhost:51733-localhost:1987 (ESTABLISHED) Flash\x20 5051 username 23u IPv4 0x03d71740 0t0 TCP localhost:1987-localhost:51733 (ESTABLISHED) Rev also lists 51733 in opensockets. Why is that? Is that normal? Second issue: Then I start sending from Flash to Rev by clicking a button in Flash movie. First time everything is OK: message is received by Rev. Then I try to send a second time, but nothing is received by Rev. How can that be? Third issue: when clicking on a Flash button to write to a socket, I need to click outside the browser image before I can click that button again. Kind regards, Henk -- Henk v.d.

Re: Passing variables between Flash and Rev
OK, thanks a lot. Flash versions have different capabilities. Early versions (MX MX2004) could read files, send and receive packets from servers, and listen for packets from servers (variable strings or XML format) using GET or POST methods. ... and later versions can just use a local socket connection. I'm new to the socket stuff. Can I ask a few questions about it? 1. So I can have a Flash file played through revBrowser in a Rev application, and have that Flash file communicate with the very same Rev application through a local socket connection? 2. A local socket, is that something like 127.0.0.0: port number? 3. Does this approach require a specific setup of the computer? 4. Does this approach work in case of a proxy server being used on the local network? 5. And the last one, although it is Flash related it might be of interest to some more Rev developers: I need to use XMLSocket()? Kind regards, Henk -- Henk v.d.

RE: Passing variables between Flash and Rev
Good day all, picking up an old discussion about Flash variables and Rev: One of our apps has a Flash movie played through a player object. Flash variables are read and set through Trevor's QTExternal. However the latest releases of QuickTime player don't support Flash playback anymore, so we have to look for another solution. So my question is how can I read and write Flash variables from within a Rev application? The application is used on school networks.

Re: Multiuser or not multiuser
Hi William, goeiemiddag.. Indeed, the other question is how to approach the multi-user issue in this case. Blocking clients like this can be a bit unfriendly, and it also poses issues when the 'inuse' variable isn't saved properly. You could end up with a completely blocked application. One approach could be to use a database. Database engines have their own record blocking mechanisms, so one user can't overwrite the record of another user. Or, if you don't want to setup a database, you could probably create a folder on every day, and have each user add his / her own textfile to that folder. If you put both the username and the chosen lunch into the file, a user could eventually turn back and change his choice. You could create another app that collects all the text files and creates a list out of it.

Re: mysql: troubles with insert
Thanks Mark,
it is not an auto_increment field.
I think something is wrong in the way Rev creates a query out of my
array.
If I force Rev to put the right value in the query by doing this:
put INSERT INTO g2_Entity() VALUES('vars[1]',:
2,:3,:4,:2,:3,:5,:4) into tsql
the record is inserted with the correct id.
But the standard way:
put INSERT INTO g2_Entity() VALUES(:1,:2,:3,:4,:2,:3,:5,:4)
into tsql
inserts it with the wrong id.
I have double checked the values of my array vars[] - it is OK.
I was wondering if this might have something to do with the way Rev
handles arrays. Rev 'does' only associative arrays, not numeric
arrays, isn' t it? I was a bit surprised to find out that I had to
use numeric arrays in order to build queries.
Just a thought..
Henk
Henk-
Probably a silly question, but I don't suppose id is an auto_increment
field?
If so, you want to specify null for the id and you won't be able to
override
it.

game navigation: some advice
Good day all, we have started development of a small game in which players move through a historical map of a city (the Dutch city of Delft, actually). The player has to be able to 'walk' through the streets as they are drawn on the map. The map is drawn in a projective view, much alike this map of Blaeu: http://essentialvermeer.20m.com/maps/delft/blaeu_xl.htm Does anyone have any general advice on how to move a character around this map? One question has to do with how the roads are represented. Should I use some kind of collision detection? For example, I have drawn a couple of polygons to represent the areas between the streets, and whenever a character moves I detect whether it collides with one of these polygons. If that happens, the movement is stopped. I've also tried a different approach with paths, where every segment of a road - that is every part of it between two crosspoints - consists of a path. The character moves along the points of that path. On a crosspoint a player has to choose a direction, a new road that one wants to enter. Are there any other options to consider? Is there perhaps a proven approach that one should take? The other question - of course related to the previous one - is to how the movement of the character is to be controlled. Should one use keys? I have tried to use two keys for forward / backward movement, and two other keys for left / right rotation of the direction of movement. This approach can be used in combination with collision detection the way I described before. But it turns out that the player needs a lot of attention to choose the right direction, otherwise one bumps into areas outside the street and the movement is stopped.

multiplayer game on LAN
Good day all, I have a question about a multiplayer game we are going to develop. It is going to be used on a LAN in schools. Four children play against each other. The game will be turn based. Now I would like to know if there is any general advice, or some considerations I should take into account, on how to set this up. I see an option to use socket communications, like in chatservers and clients. Or I could perhaps use communication between standalones, with every client communicating with a kind of 'game server'. Any opinions? Kind regards, Henk -- Henk v.d.

Re: copy group to new stack
Hi André, The stack is a stripped down version of a print function. I want to print a number of groups from a stack to different pages. In the stack all these groups are on one and the same card. So I create an invisible stack, create the number of cards that is needed and copy the groups to these cards. Now it turns out that the contents of certain fields are not copied. It took me some time to find out why that happened. I think I have pinpointed the problem to this one factor: if I create a stack, then create new cards in that stack, and then copy fields to it, the text is not copied (at least the text of editable fields). If I create a stack, but don't create new cards in that stack, than the copying works fine.

Re: copy group to new stack
I did some further testing to find out what is the simplest way to reproduce this behaviour (I sort of consider it to be a bug). Essentially it comes down to this: 1. there are two stacks, A and B 2. in stack A a command is issued, consisting of: 2a: create a new card in stack B 2b: copy an editable text field from stack A to stack B It turns out that the text of the editable text field is not copied to stack B, only the (empty) field. If you skip step 2a, both the editable field and its content are copied to stack B. Any opinions on this? Henk Hi André, The stack is a stripped down version of a print function.

Re: Multimedia Authoring - Quicktime Dead?
Ehm, I feel some need to correct this. I have been using LiveStage Pro for many years, and at least as far as the buttons are concerned, it's just a matter of telling which images (or movies) you want for each roll over state. Next to that there are many so called behaviors that can be attached to objects. For example if you want an object to bounce inside a box, you can just attach the behavior to it, fill in some parameters and you're done. Of course LSP has it's limitations, but they are (at least) as much QuickTime's limitations as they are LSP's. Kind regards, Henk -- Henk v.d.

Good day Josep, Since you are talking about a price list, the simplest way would probably be to export the Excel file to a text file - for example a tab delimited one. That text file can easily be opened in Rev: just put the contents of it into a table field. If you want to read directly from the .xls file, you will run into a lot of difficulties, I think. These files contain lots of data that you are probably not interested in, so you have to filter the data. And in order to do that, you have to understand the file format.

This field determines the working directory (i.e. default directory) when your application starts. This should normally point to the directory where the linked file is located.

edit xmp metadata: developers needed
Good day all, Can anyone help me with editing XMP metadata in image files (JPEG)? I've searched the archives and I've found some messages about EXIF data and IPTC metadata. But it looks like no one has done XMP reading / editing yet. It wouldn't perhaps be too difficult, since XMP data is 'just' an XML tree put somewhere into the JPEG binary data. But I have no knowledge of binary data, so I can't figure out how to add these metadata to a (JPEG) file. Another option might be Image Magick. If an external could be built around the Image Magick libraries, that would provide another way to read and edit XMP data. I need this facility for a new application we are going to build for a couple of local cultural institutions. We need to describe lots of historical photographs, and it looks like the best way to store these descriptions is as metadata inside the files. These images are also to be used in educational applications, where children can read - and eventually edit - the metadata. There will be a budget to develop this kind of thing.

Re: quicktime 3D
Hello Viktoras, You could take a look at AXELedge, www.mindavenue.com (ahem, I just saw that AXELedge is no longer available..) They have a QT plugin that allows QT player to play interactive 3D content. However, I don't know whether it's possible to create .axs files on the fly. Another option is FBX for QuickTime (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/ servlet/index?id=6837478siteID=123112). I have never used that, but maybe someone else can tell you more about this. If you want to create 3D surfaces out of a collection of data, maybe VRML / X3D is a better option (http://www.web3d.org/x3d/). X3D's file format is XML, so it would be easy to create these files on the fly. These files can be played in a web browser using plug ins (for example Cortona VRML client: http://www.parallelgraphics.com/products/ cortona/ - supports only VRML however, no X3D; but VRML is also a text based file format). So the best thing would probably be to use altBrowser to display web pages inside Revolution, and have your 3D files played in the web page.

The same method works OK with the QuickTime 6.5 standalone installer. Anyone any ideas about what's happening? What can be done to fix this? I'm not sure if this helps, but did you try with the complete (absolute) pathname to the installer? And you could also try this syntax: ... open process QuickTimeinstaller.exe for neither ... Also with the complete pathname. Another thought: Provide the shortfilepath() to shell... At least worth a try I think :-) You were right about the absolute path. I have tested both the launch and open process method, and both launch the QT 7.1 standalone installer properly. Strange thing is the QT 6.5 standalone installer doesn't need an absolute path. I don't understand what difference there is for an application like the QT installer to be launched through a relative or an absolute file path. But at least my problem is solved.

launch QT installer
Good day all, My application launches the QuickTime 7.1 Installer on Windows XP. The installer starts and then I get an error message: http://www.iglow-media.nl/xchange/foutmeldingQTinstaller.gif This is the QT standalone installer, saved locally and called with either launch QuickTimeInstaller.exe or get shell(start QuickTimeInstaller.exe). The same method works OK with the QuickTime 6.5 standalone installer. Anyone any ideas about what's happening? What can be done to fix this? Kind regards, Henk -- Henk v.d.

If the text of an image is PNG binary data, and the Word file contains only PNG images, I would be able to set the text of an image to the decoded text from the WordXML node. one could also try to simply put the data into an image! - put url(binfile:image.png) into img 1 does work, so this is a least worth a try :-) My assumption is that, just as changing an object's top property automatically changes other related properties (eg: topLeft,bottomRight, loc, etc.), changing an image's text property will automatically change imageData and other text-related properties of the image. I'm a few days away from testing this issue myself. I've done some testing, here are my results: - when an image is loaded, it's text property is not set; when it is imported, it is. - when the text property of an image is changed, the imageData, width, height etc also change. So now I can use the binary data from the Word XML file, decode them, create a new, empty image on the card and set the text of that image to the decoded binary data.

Re: imagedata in Word XML
Ken, putting binary data from a Word XML file into an image on a Rev card is quite straightforward. There is a node w:binData containing the image data. put revXMLNodeContents(treeID, node) into theData create img put it into theImg set the text of image theImg to base64Decode(theData) The hard part of course is to parse Word XML in a proper manner. I'm working on that right now. I'll see where I get. If it works OK, I'm willing to share my code, of course.

Henk, is this code that can be shared with the Rev community? If so, that would be great... ___ 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: Integrating Revolution and Flash
Hi Pradeep, you can also take a look at Trevor deVore's Enhanced QuickTime External: http://www.bluemangolearning.com/developer/revolution/ Kind regards, Henk On 18-mrt-2006, at 15:17, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Pradeep, First, i would say yes, as long as flash can be handled trough javascript calls we can bind to transcript handlers (i do that* all the time, for my own *.js stored/used as global vars from inside my rev-based web applications servers).

Re: imagedata in Word XML
Rob, Indeed does the text of an image contain binary data, but it looks like it's in the PNG format. I will do some testing. If the text of an image is PNG binary data, and the Word file contains only PNG images, I would be able to set the text of an image to the decoded text from the WordXML node. Thanks. Henk On 18-mrt-2006, at 19:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, even though you decode the information from the WordML file, now you have a binary representation of a PNG or JPEG, etc., and that is not in a format proper for imageData, which is an array of 4-byte integers, each integer representing one pixel. You will have to base-64 decode the information in the WordML file and then read it in as if you were reading an image file off a disk, etc. This will decompress the information that is encoded in the file and then you can use the result as imageData. Are you sure the result should be used as the imageData of an image rather than its text? I don't know exactly what is stored in WordML; but my understanding is that the text of an image is the actual binary content of the image file, while the imageData is a Rev-proprietary representation of the image as currently displayed. ___ 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
imagedata in Word XML
Good day all, Word 2003 and newer can save as XML. If there is an image in the doc, it's binary data are saved in one of the nodes of an XML tree (body/p/ r/pict/binData). Now I want a Revolution stack to read these XML documents. I assumed the binary image data to be base-64 encoded. But when I decode the content of the node containing the binary image data, and set the imageData of an image in the Rev stack to it, I get a messy picture. I have also tried to base-64 encode the imageData of an image in a Rev stack and paste it into a node containing binary image data in a Word XML file. But then Word doesn't understand the data. Is there anyone who knows how Word's binary image data can be used in Rev?
