"Ask" does not put empty into "it" when "Cancel" is clicked.
Is this a known change in 2.6? The scrip below functioned as expected in Rev 2.5. When the user click "Cancel" in response to the "ask" command the "it" variable was set to empty. Not so in 2.6. In 2.6 the script behaves differently. When the user clicks "Cancel," there is a error response. The "ask" command does not return empty to the "it" variable--I'm not sure what "it" is. It shows empty but charToNum return the zero character. From the Docs: If the user cancels the dialog, the it variable is set to empty and the result function returns "cancel". on mouseUp ask "What field to save?" --User clicks "Cancel" if it is not empty then --Debugger steps into this line even --though "Cancel" was clicked. put it into temp1 --Shows empty put chartonum(it) into temp2 --Shows 0, i.e. zero put the result into temp3--Shows empty but should be "cancel" put field it into tContents --Error message else put field 1 into tContents ask file "Put where?" if it is not empty then put "file:"& it into tFileName put tContents into url tFileName else beep exit mouseUP end if end mouseUp There is a work-around. Test the the "result" not "it," i.e. use:" If the result is not empty."

Jim, check your build number: in the messagebox, type: put buildnumber() I think this was quickly fixed by build 108. Download a recent version. Is this a known change in 2.6?

Hi all, Jim, check your build number: in the messagebox, type: put buildnumber() I think this was quickly fixed by build 108. Download a recent version. until Rev has changed the way we have to load every new distribution (the COMPLETE package :-/), it would be nice to have a place where we can download the engines only!

Regards Klaus Major [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.major-k.de Klaus, Good idea. It takes me 1.5 hours to download the whole works. And then there is the job of updating the plug-ins. Peripheral benefit to the new build: Spotlight is starting to index my Rev scripts--for both RR 2.5 and RR 2.6. I didn't test versions anything before 2.5. But only those stacks that have been newly saved. Odd, since Spotlight has clearly looks through my old MS Word files. (Maybe it will get around to the old RR files eventually--just waiting for enough idle time.)

While it's unusual and sometimes confusing to rely on the buildNumber in addition to the version number, as long as it's the way it is I could live with it if the page on which these engines were downloaded from noted the buildNumber in addition to the version number and creation date. That is, once such a page exists. ;) -- Richard Gaskin Managing Editor, revJournal ___ Rev tips, tutorials and more: http://www.revJournal.com ___ 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

Totally and utterly agree! How much effort would it be to just change the minor version number or at least publish the build number?

I have to agree. Slipstreaming is a pain in the neck for everyone, and I don't really understand why Rev thinks it is a good idea, either. Jon Jeanne A. E.
