Standalone problem
OK, this is the problem. I've been working full time on an app for the better part of a month or more. When I first started, it consisted of a main stack and a sub-stack. One had 68 cards; the other 280. Not really complicated stuff. Full card images with fields and buttons on top of the images and complete TitleBar Menus. A good UI. When nearly complete, I built a standalone. No problem with either the Mac or Windows versions. I then decided, for some very good reasons of my own, to split the Main stack into a main and another sub-stack. Once I completed that, not as easy as you might think, I tried to build another standalone. The first time through I got a dialog saying that the standalone was successfully built; however three warnings appeared below that statement. 1. Icon does not exist:/Applications/Revolution Studio/4.0.0-gm-1/Runtime/Windows/x86-32/Support/Sample Icons/genericapp.ico 2. Could not build for Windows because required files are missing. 3. Could not build for MacOSX because required files are missing. I diddled around with the Standalone settings a bit, found a couple of things that might have been the problem and built it once again. This time the same thing happened, but there were only two warning: 1. Could not build for Windows because required files are missing. 2. Could not build for MacOSX because required files are missing. I thought, Gee Whiz, I must have fixed the Icon problem. So I diddled some more and built it once again. To my chagrin I got the original three warnings again. I have now tried to build the application in excess of a dozen times, making no other changes by diddling with anything; the result being that I receive alternate warnings. 3 then 2, then 3, then 2, etc. etc. Talk about frustration!! Unless someone has an easy resolution to this problem, Rev will no longer be in my toolbox, even though I've used it for lots of things that don't require a standalone or Window's versions. I certainly won't be moving up to LC. If interested, I'm working on a MacPro with OSX 10.6.5 and Rev 4.0.0-gm-1.

Re: Standalone problem
Joe, it looks like something removed some files, inlcuding the empty' engines that are the basis of standalones built by Revolution. Just re-install a fresh copy of Rev and all should be solved.

Mark, Thank you very much for the suggested resolution; I hope it works. Not sure exactly how to go about installing a fresh copy of Rev, or even where to obtain it. I'll try the obvious sources.

Re: Standalone problem
Hi René, Usually, only the first error is relevant. Sometimes, the other errors give you useful information, but most of the time it is the first error that made your script stop running. There are a few exceptions on this, e.g. if you run the stack in the IDE or if stacks are protected with passwords. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer We have updated TwistAWord.

Urgent! Standalone Problem!!!
Hi, I need to get the name of the Standalone Application when I'm running in IDE mode. I have a standaloneSaved handler that sets vital information for the Standalone after is has been saved, The main problem is that the standaloneSaved handler is passed the name of the Standalone folder in which the new folder for the applications (Mac and Windows) have been saved, e.g. path/StandAloneFolder/ Whereas what would be really useful would be the folder that is created to store the Standalone Application, e.g. path/StandAloneFolder/AppName/ Which contains: MacOSX Windows I either the folder name or I need to be able to get the Standalone Settings for the Application where the name of the Application is stored.

Re: Urgent! Standalone Problem!!!
Custom property set cRevStandaloneSettings, then the name property within that set. Make sure you have Rev UI elements appear in lists checked in Rev prefs or you won't be able to see it in the prop inspector. So something like: put the cRevStandaloneSettings[name] of this stack into tStandaloneName should get you what you want.

Standalone Problem
Dear Revolutionaries, I have a stack with several games for learning. Everything works fine except one game, on a single card, does not function in the Windows standalone. I'm using the new studio software for mac. When you access this card, the game doesn't function at all. Even the return to menu button does not work. Nor will the quit button. Very odd. You see, the Mac standalone works just as it does in the development environment. Just fine. What gives? Is there something I should check first? Is there something that is taboo in the windows standalones? All the other little games work fine. Thank you very much.

Re: Windows Standalone Problem Still Persist
Despite the number of suggestions that I received from the Rev community, I still have been unable to resolve a problem with my Windows Standalone. The background is white, which is what I want but a little bit of text is visible. The text that is visible is some of the label text. I have changed the size of the text entry fields, size of the Arial font used throughout the program, turning Clear- Type on, using a script suggested by Roger Eller. Only one button, which was created with ButtonGadget2 is visible. I also checked the color ink and visibility. I made a sample app with entry field boxes and buttons using both Arial and Tacona fonts and made a Windows Standalone without any problems with the appearance. I am using the latest version of Parallels (build 2130) to run my project on. I am using OS X 10.4.8 and Rev. 2.7.4. Any more suggestions? I wonder is this a Parallels problem rather than a Windows problem? If you want to send me the app, I'll test it on a real Windows box and see what happens.

I am using the latest version of Parallels (build 2130) to run my project on. I am using OS X 10.4.8 and Rev. 2.7.4. Any more suggestions?

Re: OS X standalone problem
Sarah, That is a standard OSX crash. I have been having a few of them lately with 10.4.4 updated. ( I had one where the dialog said that the crash involved iChat and an Unsanity software. and it asked to send a report to both companies. Never saw that before...) By standard I mean you end up with three choices, reopen, send report and close/cancel. And could be your app or a memory issue or conflict with software you have installed. Try rebooting your system and see if it still crashes. If you want you can send me the stack and I can test it here to isolate whether it is something on your system or OS 10.4.4 etc. Tom On Jan 17, 2006, at 11:44 PM, Sarah Reichelt wrote: Hi All, I'm having a very strange problem today which I hope someone can help me with.

Repairing permissions didn't help and it is a clean install of the system with only my app running, so it can't be a conflict. I reverted to an old copy of the app cuilt using Rev 2.2.1 (I think) and that is working fine. the version gives 2.6 instead of the current one which gives 2.6.6. I have had a couple of problems with apps built using 2.6.1 but I am always reluctant to revert back. Hopefully 2.7 will work better for me.

save standalone problem
Dear group, I'm working with Rev 2.5 on a G4 notebook under Mac OS 10.3.2. I've built two stacks, A and B, which differ only in terms of the images imported on the cards. It is possible to save these stacks as standalones. However, every time I try to save a third stack C whose contents equal A plus B, I'm told There was an error while saving the standalone application. I've checked my archive of list messages and tried the suggestions given in the past in these cases, notably switching from Search for required inclusions... to Select inclusions for standalone application. I am also sure that the path name contains no weird characters. Furthermore, there is no password protection involved. I would dearly love to know what is happening. Could it be that something got messed up when I combined the stacks? I used a very basic script for a button in stack A the script of which was: repeat x go to the first cd of stack B cut this cd go to the last cd of stack A paste end repeat After running the script I added one final card (the one corresponding to the last cd of stack B) manually to stack A. The new stack works as it should but whatever I try I can't save it as a standalone. Any help appreciated.

Re: save standalone problem
Hi Fritz, the problem is in the way you cut and pastethe cards to the new stack. It is likely that there is more than one card with the same ID in the stack the cards are copied to. This causes the hiccup and the standalone can not be saved. Check in the inspector... You might try this to copy your cards: on mouseUp repeat with i=1 to the number of cards of stack b copy cd i of stack b to stack c end repeat end mouseUp Cheers, Malte ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: save standalone problem
Thanks, Malte, that solved my problem. I didn't pay attention to the possibility that more than one card in a stack could have the same ID. The negligence in this regard may be rooted in my HyperCard experience. In HC, cards cut and then pasted into another stack are assigned IDs different from their original ones. Anyway, thanks again for your kind help. Fritz Hi Fritz, the problem is in the way you cut and pastethe cards to the new stack.

Building a standalone - problem 1
I wonder if somebody could help me with building a standalone, a task which is new to me. Here is what I am doing. I have built two main stacks; SLDataCollection which I use to collect and store data and SLResults which is essentially a single card where I place the results for printing. Everything works as planned on my mac (PowerBook G4, 10.3.3). Now I would like to build a standalone. Since I will be collecting and storing data the SLDataCollection stack cannot be a standalone, therefore, following the docs and much advice from this list, I have mad a single card stack which will act as a splash screen. This stack has a small animation and includes the following script: on openstack set the loc of me to the screenLoc start using stack SLDataCollection start using stack StepLengthresults animation stuff here - hides and shows fields lock screen go stack SLDataCollection in window StepLength unlock screen with visual barn door open end openstack I have put the two original main stacks in a folder SLStuff which is within a folder that contains the splash screen. The first problem I am having is that this splash screen hangs up because it cannot locate the stacks in the start using commands. If I open these stacks and close them again the splash screen works fine. In reading the docs I think that I have to provide a filePath to these files in the SLStuff folder. I have spent a frustrating few hours trying to get this done without success. Any help would be greatly appreciated - and I haven't even built the standalone yet!

Standalone problem (windows)
Hi, List. Truly sorry if you've seen this post before, but my postings are not appearing in my digests, so I can only assume that they are not sending. Anyway, I just wanted to thank everyone for their advice on my standalone problems. It seems like the Mac standalones download fine when I convert them to a .sit file. Meanwhile, I'm still having problems with the Windows standalone which refuses to show the ask box when you hit a key. I made sure that the ask box option was checked in the Distribution Builder, and the problem persists. Any ideas? Thanks so much -Andrew ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
