How to examine Rev stacks?

One or more folks here recommended looking inside the Independent Study stack in the rev docs for an education in how to write scripts correctly. I've been trying for a little while to do that (even checked last month's list archive) but with no luck -- if I open the revtutorialindep.rev file with

How do I stop app's files from being opened by Rev?

I've created a standalone app with two other stacks that belong to that app. I'd like to prevent Rev from opening either of those two files. In fact, Furthermore, I want those files to be opened by the standalone procedurally from within the app and -not- by a double-click on either file. I

JPEGs have 40 frames?

I'm using QT Player objects to hold (referenced) jpegs or movies. The user makes this choice so the Player is required. I've noticed that when I reference a jpeg, the property inspector says it has 40 frames and I can actually change the currentTime in the property inspector from 0 up to 40.

Using numbers to access elements in arrays

2003-08-07 Thread Devin Asay
Correct me if I'm wrong... It seems to me that Rev's implementation of arrays is not typical as compared to lower level languages. It seems to be more of a hash table (like in Java). In other words, you store data in arrays by associating each piece of data with a named key, rather than
