Andres, create a frontscript and trap the appleEvent event. Look for a event like GURL (it's GURLGURL). I used to have a example of that somewhere nearby.
You need the frontscript because Revolution IDE will trap the events before you if you don't use one. It's something like: on appleEvent theClass,theID -- execute a set of statements in a text file if theClass is "GURL" and theID is "GURL" then request appleEvent data -- get the content of the AppleEvent into the it variable -- now do your stuff end if pass appleEvent end appleEvent Andre On 1/24/08, Andres Martinez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks Andre > > I finally made it work by rebuilding the Launch Services database. > > Now the part I don't know yet is how to receive the parameters in my > Rev App. > > For example if the URL is myapp:parameters > > How can I read those parameters when the system invokes the Rev App? > > Regards, > Andres Martinez > www.baKno.com > > On Jan 24, 2008, at 6:01 PM, Andre Garzia wrote: > > > Andres, > > > > I am searching for doing the same thing.
