Hi Mark,
If you set the cantAbort to false (which it is by default) you can
press command-period to stop all runing handlers.
I know, a key is no command, but I hope this helps.
Best regards,

Hi from Paris,
I have a hidden field that I want to display after I have put a
specific text in it. The text is of variable size.
The size of field required is obviously based on the "textSize",
"textFont" and "number of characters" values. I need to set the size of
the field (rect) so that
Hi Francis,
This is very simple:
set the height of fld x to the formattedHeight of fld x
set the width of fld x to the formattedWidth of fld x
or
set the rect of fld x to the formattedRect of fld x
I would store the topleft of the field before setting the rect and
restore the topleft afterw

MPEG-2 is the DVD format, and I know earlier versions of MediaPlayer (pre 10

Shari, I think this can be somewhat dependent on how much ram is
available, but in my experience, rev handles fairly large arrays very
well. I've had arrays consisting of 500 or so elements, each
containing 2000+ items without any problem. So I'd stick with the one
big array.
Best,
Mark
Speaking of arrays... Am I correct in understanding that Rev only
supports one dimensional arrays or am I misreading the dox?

Yes, but you can make the keys sort of multi-dimensional: someArray
[a,b,c], so for some purposes this works just as well.
In fact (note to shari), depending on your particular application,
you may find it more efficient to have an array with 300 * 1000
elements than to have an array with 30

I thought MPEG could be played on Mac, Windows, and Linux with
existing built-in tools but Rev needed QuickTime. Perhaps I'm wrong
about that.

I think you'd have to have a much bigger amount of data to run into
