files, names and files

Good afternoon, I feel kind of bad about asking so many semi-newbie questions, but I'm not quite sure how else to find stuff out. The onboard documentation is sometimes helpful. Often it's sparse and/or cryptic, it seems to me. I hope that improves. I have Dan Shafer's book. Sometimes it help

Re: Sucess compiling Alex Tweedly DLL!

Once the nuances of correcting for the current funky externals package are identified, would it be worth the effort to make a Rev tool to serve as a simple specialized IDE for making externals? C is just text, as are the make files, and GCC can be run with the shell function, yes? My hunch i

Re: is within ... polygon shape?

Jim, Thanks! I'll have another look/try. To put this into context, My original need grew out of an attempt to demo (unsuccessfully, as it turned out) using Rev to create a game of moving objects on a map/background. The map would need to scroll as the moving character image hit the edges of the

Re: Sucess compiling Alex Tweedly DLL!

al, I don't often build externals with "bloodshed", but if i remember correctly you needed to make sure you had the following 1.) -DBUILDING_DLL=1 as a compiler option 2.) --add-stdcall-alias as a linker option (which you have) 3.) Since you're building c code and not c++ you might mess with

Re: is within ... polygon shape?

It occurs to me that even tho the "intersect" function works with the bounding rectangle of an object, and not the actual object itself, "intersect" could nonetheless be useful as a sort of initial screen. If "intersect" doesn't think the two objects intersect, well, they *can't* intersect, r

Re: Confirm Long File Name Bug in Player Object

I know this is a pretty dirty sounding workaround, but what happens if you place an alias to the file in the user's temporary files (instead of copying it there)? More work but less disk space if it works... If you want to deliver a media player now, the only way around this is to have your ap

Stack size (not the previous thread)

Hi All, Let me rephrase this question. I have a stack that has one card in it. The card just has some text custom properties in it. The stack itself has no scripts, no imported graphics, nothing. Yet, the size of the stack file on disk is 3,604,480 bytes (3.43 MB). I deleted the one card from the

Re: Confirm Long File Name Bug in Player Object

I'm all ears... in this app, the sound file is downloaded over the net... and later thrown away... the source file is on our server and will continue to carry the long file name... so, temporarily changing the name of the file is not "dangerous" in this context and since we "own" the files,

Re: Confirm Long File Name Bug in Player Object

Sivakatirswami, See "create alias" - pretty easy to use. I can't promise that Rev won't resolve the alias and still have long file name problems, but it may be worth a shot. You could probably write a handler, if this works, that loops through all of your player objects and does something lik

Setting a player to the alias resolves the alias and applies the original path to the player's filename prop. So this alias option doesn't get us anything. try it... make alias of long file name.. truncate alias a back to <32 chars... "set the fileName of player i to aliasPath"then chec
