Mysteroius rev ghost buttons

Hello, I have a very strange phenomenon. After some time (10-30 clicks), using my standalone on Mac (created on Win) 3 rev buttons appear somewhere in the upper third of my application. The labels of the 3 buttons are: revGeometryBack revCommon and revLibURL Using the standalone on Win, they

Re: Vector illustrations in Revolution

Phil, What vector formats can be imported into Rev? Have you tried the pdf option ? Illustrator can export vector files as pdf. AFAIR pdf files can be displayed in Rev players on MacOSX and it should be also possible on Windows using altBrowser... JB

Externals and Memory Leaks???

Hi All, I have a Stack that uses two functions from an external: XGetData(myTempData) XProcessData(myTempData,myNewData) XGetData() Gets the data into the correct format and stores it in the RunRev variable myTempData. XProcessData() takes the data in myTempData, processes it and puts

Can't quit Rev - things to look for?

I am addicted I confess! Try as I might - I just can't quit. It's not just a case of will power - most usually I leave the computer sleeping and Rev open and make a regular svn backup of everything before I go to bed - or watch Liverpool loose but recently I have been taking the precaution of

AW: Mysteroius rev ghost buttons

Hi Sarah, that's interesting. Though I don't have any loops showing buttons, nore showing them explicit, I have a hint, where these ghosts come from! If I won't find any explanation why they appear, I can at least hide them everytime I click any other button :) no real solution, but perhaps it

Accessing USB webcams in Rev on Mac

Using the revVideoGrab... functions Rev 2.8.1 on Mac OS X, I can access an external firewire iSight camera; the 'Sources' tab on the dialog invoked by revVideoGrabSettings also gives me a choice, greyed out, of a DV source. On a machine with a built-in iSight camera, and an external one

Severe crash with Rev 2.8.1 under MacOSX 10.4.9 (was: How to find amazing stuff)

May be the crash Joe reported is NOT due to the RR Search engine!!! Read more... This afternoon I have experienced two unexpectedly exits from Revolution and I restarted my machine. And then I had a very severe crash during a normal development session. I had no problem under Rev 2.7.4

Re: Externals and Memory Leaks???

Dave, Yep..when you use SetVariableEx you're responsible for managing the memory. Normally I handle this by building a SafeAlloc function in C or by creating my own new/delete in c++. This will let you store your allocs in a list and handle their release as necessary. In my experience,

beepLoudness

Eons ago (pre- the Rev/Metacard merger) there was a bug, where somehow the beepLoudness got balled up. I think this was OSX only. The fix was to reset the beepLoudness and then make it beep. I don't remember how long ago this bug began, or if and when it ended. But the fix was simple: on

Re: Can't quit Rev - things to look for?

Yes - lockmessages allows me to quit - but I cant debug very easlily. No timers are running and while there is a pending message its from Galaxy - which I doubt is the problem - I think its an external - just wandering how to debug it? On 24/05/07, Malte Brill [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi

Hi Chris, Thanks for the information, but I'm a bit confused! In the RunRev script I have the following code: local myBuffer local myNewData repeat until some_condition get XGetData(myTempData) XProcessData(myTempData,myNewData) end repeat In my externals I allocate a new buffer each time

Re: Externals and Memory Leaks???

Dave, To my knowledge, Rev. makes a copy of the buffer when you do the SetVariable call. So in instances where you're making successive calls like this you should never expect rev to send back a ptr that you've already allocated..its probably safe enough to do something like this in your

Filling in PDF forms

I've had a quick search regarding the ability to auto fill in PDF forms - that is not creating PDF's from databases - but lets say you have an existing PDF that you need to fill out many many times from your data - software that does this for you. It seems possible in that you can import the PDF

Re: Save stack with different extension

Hi Bill, Make sure your prefs are set to not add the .rev to your extension. When you first SAVE the stack, it will add the extension regardless. So after saving, close Rev. Then change the name of your stack to whatever you want, then launch Rev and open the stack. Now all saves should use the

Save stack with different extension

I would like to use a stack as my document file that is used by my main stack. This data stack doesn't have any UI nor do I want the user to open it directly. I would like it to have a unique .extension to identify it as my program not Revolution's. However, whenever I save in (in the IDE so
