RE: user-movable fields
If anyone needs it, I have scripts that go inside fields or images that allow for the user to move them and/or resize them from any corner. I created them before being aware of the grab command, so you might want to modify them a bit, but both the move and resize abilities seem to work quite well. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Hartley Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 5:48 PM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: user-movable fields At 05:40 06/04/2005, you wrote: >Thank you all! > >I just put a demo of the user-movable fields, and an example of how it >might be useful, in the user spaces of revonline-- "User movable fields", >under programming. > >This is so cool-- when I first thought of it this morning, I figured it >would take arduous programming.

Re: user-movable fields
Sandy, I hadn't built a windows standalone (win xp pro), but seeing your question, I've just tried it out. With just "grab me" in the mouseup: right click does move just the field. selecting text and left click drags the text. selecting text and control left click drags amd copies the text. With just "grab me" in the mouseup (if thebutton is 3 not needed) and on/end dragStart: right click moves only the field. text cannot be moved or copied with or without control key.

Is this not true in Windows? I just had a big Windows problem in another area, so want to know these things early! thanks, Sandy This doesn't quite work. You need: on mousedown thebutton if thebutton is 3 then grab me end mousedown See Jeanne's email and the docs for mousedown in an unlocked field (right click for Win, control click Mac) It probably seemed to work for you because you were using the pointer tool in the IDE. Pat ... So, if you only want to let the user move the field, but not move or copy the text, would you use on dragStart end dragStart on mousedown thebutton if thebutton is 3 then grab me end mousedown This works, but just wondered if this was the right way. Pat Surprise surprise... when you select the text in an unlocked field and drag it to another unlocked field, you move the text to this new field. When control-clicking and dragging you put a copy of the text into the new field. (This is on Windows.) There are always new things to learn!
