Standalone not fully exiting on windows

2004-05-25 Thread Paul Kocsis
Doesn't matter if I quit or pass the closeStackRequest message...same thing happens...HOWEVER...I didn't realize that pending messages could cause that!!! I believe that might be it as I think there most certainly could be a pending message on the queue! I shall implement post-haste! THANK YOU!!

Can't see an hScroll scrollbar on XP

2004-05-25 Thread Paul Kocsis
One last problem with my most recent app: I have fields that have their hScroll turned on. They appear normally on Win98, but on XP, you cannot see them! You *can* see the left and right arrows, but the actual scrollbar between the arrows is invisible. Knowing they are there, you can click

Standalong still hanging on 98 and XP (Was Standalone not fully exiting on windows)

Thank you to J. Landman Gay and Richard Gaskin. Unfortunately, implementing these needed suggestions and mechanisms has not solved the problem. It also does not matter whether I use quit or don't use quit and pass closeStackRequest...same result. I am now suspicious of 2 things. I am using

Jan, Thanks, that worked! My next question is, when building a standalone app for distribution, will Runrev intelligently gather the files for dsitribution -- what exactly happens? Thanks ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Passing variables between Flash and Rev

2004-05-25 Thread RGould8
I've got a client who's asking me if it's technically possible to have a standalone Flash Projector on Mac OS X sublaunch a Revolution app and pass variables to it. From what little I know about Flash, it sounds like it _might_ be possible, perhaps by getting the Flash projector to sublaunch

RE: Passing variables between Flash and Rev

2004-05-25 Thread Ken Ray
Rob, Unfortunately, the answer is 'no' (at least not in Flash MX which is what I have). If the Rev app is in the 'fscommand' folder of the Flash standalone, you can launch it, but the security sandbox of Flash doesn't allow for command line arguments to be passed or any other form of

Re: Passing variables between Flash and Rev

2004-05-25 Thread RGould8
One last question, related: Do you know if Flash can sublaunch a Rev app via an alias of that App being placed in the fscommand folder of the Flash standalone, or do I need to have the entire Rev app itself inside that folder? In a message dated 5/25/04 3:06:44 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

Ken Ray a *crit : The only thing that you *can* do, IMHO, is to launch the Rev app and open a socket between the two, pass your information through the socket, and then close down Flash. This is interesting. Has anybody tried that ? I've always considered Flash (or at least Actionscript)

fileType problems

Hi, I'm setting the fileType to FJL3PREF for my preferences files, but I've noticed that this value is being used on *all* files I create, not just my preferences files. I thought this value would be handler specific, i.e. it would be set to empty after the handler finished. Unfortunately I'm
