Re: [teaser] Mac OS X external

Hi, I thought RR was being touted as the evolution of HyperCard? I have a hard time believing the dirty flag isn't supported natively. Are you saying it's not??? Look, I have a ton of cross-platform apps on my drive, but all of them use the dirty red button to indicate that the file has been

Full screen?

Hi, How do I make my RR stack run full screen? I don't want to stretch things to meet the screen, I want to enter a 'full screen mode' like most video games do, where it temporarily sets the user's monitor resolution to 1024x768 or something like that. Thank you ! -Art

Re: Full screen?

Hi, So let me get this straight because I need to take this back with me to the dev team. You're saying that there's no built in way to actually go full screen, like most games do? I admit I don't know much about programming, but I decided on Rev for a game engine, and this is a pretty big deal.

Re: Why doesn't this work now? (Copy paste of a card with a background)

Hi Kay, The problem is that the 6 month old copy represents 6 months of intense work trying to get around other bugs in RunRev. There's a lot of stuff in our new version that isn't in the old version, so I'm afraid that reverting to the older version, or even doing a comparison between the two is

And just a bit more weirdness: If I go to cd 1, then do 'copy this cd' and then 'paste', it works fine, for that newly created card. If I go to my last cd, then do 'paste', it does not work, and the list will only contain one file, even if more have been made. However, the last cd and my cd 1

How to do this basic thing?

Hi, Since the system I had built before is failing so spectacularly, I can only assume I must be doing something wrong, So how would you (anyone?) suggest I build this? I need to have an intro screen. On that screen, i want a big list (initially empty) on the side, and a button that say, new.

Re: Why doesn't this work now? (Copy paste of a card with a background)

Hi Bernard, Paste, to paste a card, has worked fine in every version of RunRev I've ever seen, until I guess around 3.0. And like you, sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't crash. It definitely looks like a bug to me! Thanks, -Art On Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 8:58 AM, Bernard Devlin

Hi, I have a really strange and frightening situation on my hands that I'm trying to make sense of. If anyone has a suggestion, I'd LOVE to hear it. A few months ago, our users started complaining that things 'suddenly broke'. This is happening in a standalone app based in RunRev 2.7 or 2.8,

2.9 and recording as a movie

Hi, The 2.8.1 version of RunRev had a lot of issues on the Mac, ones that we really couldn't tolerate, so we moved it to another engine. However, we would like to use RR for our PC version. One hurdle I'm not sure how to address is one of exporting to a movie. I'd like to export an animation made

Preventing one Rev based app from opening other Rev files

Best place for putting preferences on a PC?

Hi, I have a cross-platform app I wrote in RunRev. I just know very little about PC programming. I'd like to store a user preference file on their hard drive. On the Mac, I'll put it in their prefs folder. On the PC though, where does that go? Also, is there a way to obtain the MAC address for
