Richmond, Now, having paid for a newer version of RR I was rather surprised to find that there appear to be rather similar script constraints. Without those constraints, you'd pretty much be able to write your own mini-Rev and distribute it for free, eh? Just put whatever script you like

Hi Richmond , I am sure that many other educators wish they had the time, energy and money to make really super programs for their educational needs. Not to belabor it, but the whole point was that it actually takes LESS time to build quickie apps like this, once you begin thinking in a

Hi again, Richmond, However, the relative program was written over a 15 minute period (mucking around preparing the graphics took ages) as a 'one trick pony' for kids who have little or no contact with computers (in Bulgaria most people cannot afford a computer) so would be quite unable to

Am I to take it that standalones - however they are built (!!!) - have constraints placed upon them that are not placed, for example, on stacks running with a stack runner variant? You can test it for yourself by just having a standalone/player execute this: answer the scriptLimits
