Hello everyone -
I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem with menus.
I have a set of three menus (as one menubar) repeated on several
cards. In the menu Builder I have "set as menu bar on Mac OS"
selected. Whenever I navigate from one card to another the height of
my stack shrinks!
Hello all -
I have a weird issue that *seems* to have started since upgrading to
2.7.3. On a project that I am working on, if I double-click on
the file to open project and launch Rev at the same time,
preopenstack, openstack, preopencard and opencard (of the 1st card)
are not sent.
Hello everyone.
Can anybody help with this ...
I am exporting PNGs from fields, using this syntax:
export snapshot from field fname to file imgPath as PNG
This works just fine on about 30 or so fields, but when I come to one
particular field it fails with error message:
export: can't
, in my opinion
- since the ability to output images from specific controls was one
of the features of 2.7.2 I believe. I've never used bugzilla before
(!) is it simple to do?

Hello all.
I want to output a transparent PNG of formatted text in a field.
Fine. I use the following script that acts on a non-opaque field:

end mouseUp
Works fine

It may rely on another app if I read the code right but this is
doable and also I found some control scripts at Sailing CLicker's
forums too.
Check it out and see if you can extract from it.
