Hi there,
I am making a standalone application with image files in a seperate directory.
In the standalone application settings I added the files.
After making the standalone the images don't show but the directory
with images is there (next to the .app or .exe).
I don't get it.

Hi William,
The defaultFolder is probably not set correctly:
By default it's always the folder where lies the app (Revolution app/

the IDE) and deduce all paths needed from

William,
Encrypt with password, as I understand it, only prevents changes to your
stack. It does not prevent the standalone from being run.
The changes it prohibits are things like duplicating a field, not changing
the contents of the field. You also cannot modify scripts at runtime.

I have recently had XP users complaining about 'blank' images in what

If the device is connected through a serial port and provides text

One useful thing is to include the error report tool in your standalone. You
can check it by going to the bugs pane in the standalone builder settings,
its the last pane. If you allow it to work thru email, then, if there's an

I really think forgetting Java for this is clear. A standard one off flash
or AJAX solution with variable data passed to it via a Rev based backed

Rev, but there is absolutely no reason not to use a Rev stack based cgi.
Ive been playing with some hacks using Rev cgis and php scripting. And
thought I'd send out some notes for ideas and feedback:
1) First we can use iFrames - a Rev or any cgi can create the html required
to fit inside the iFrame
2) We can use Server Side Includes (SSI)
3) We can use language
The test.cgi works fine, but executing the cgi from the terminal also works

David,
working as cgi will also yield this error but apache will treat it as

This is due to missing/wrong link for the UI graphic libraries. Due
to the nature of the linux dynamic loader and the way Rev was built,
it will look for those libraries
