Dar,
Thank you very much, your guess was good :-)
I pasted a new card without any objects on it, and I discovered in
the Place menu items that I had 2 groups with the same name frame2 !
I deleted one and now it works nicely, just as it works with my
frame1.
Éric, thanks again for your
Hi Jon,
Dar already mentioned the executionContexts. Another useful function
is the pendingmessages. The pendingmessges contains a list of
handlers waiting to execute after the send command was executed.

At the risk of being jumped on (again) by the RR
community, I have set
up a Wiki page on the Wikipedia for these:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undocumented_Features_in_Runtime_Revolution
I should be most grateful if everybody could add their
wisdom to it.
sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
You're adding this to (The) Wikipedia? C'mon now I don't think that's
appropriate in the least; in fact it's an utter abuse of Wikipedia. It
violates their no original research rule and the Wikipedia is not an FAQ
rule. I personally also believe it violates the Wikipedia is not a soapbox

Dear Bill Marriott,
Understood and acted on!

Philosophical problems are confusions arising owing to the fluidity of
meanings users attach to words and phrases.
As some of you may realise I got jumped on - not a
thing I am either unused to or mind - I am always
willing to float new ideas, and being jumped on is a
risk one has to take.
There is a huge difference between a BUG and an
UNDOCUMENTED FEATURE.
The textColor case is definitely not a bug.

I gotta agree with Bill on this one. I do think what you're proposing
would be a useful topic on the rev forums, for them that use them, but
I just don't see this a wikipedia material.

Hi,
I wouldn't use the forums to create a list of undocumented forums,
because a server crash might destroy your work. Instead, I'd create a
homepage or you might even host your own wiki somewhere. If you have
too much time on your hands, go ahead

But it *is* documented. See the foregroundcolor entry in the dictionary.

I am not disputing Bill Marriott's point.
However, I remember somebody who once got slapped for
tone of message and feel that that should be
universally applied :)
OK, I'll shut up (err, only on this thread!)

Well . . . obviously not clearly enough for thick
types like myself . . .
and, possibly not for others either ???

Actually, until this thread came up I didn't know textcolor was in

Yep. Got it. Just a matter of email message timing. But I *do* think

One of the most irritating aspects of debugging in Rev (or in Galaxy
for that matter) is that there are circumstances (usually when a rev
app starts up) when you can get an error in the message box, such as

with no other
Hi Graham,
You could adjust the message box to throw errors instead of
displaying them in its lower field, but it is probably easier to
create your own message box and save that as a plugin. Just make a
palette window with a field and the following script:
