Wow cool, thanks Kay! Let me tell you, from where I've been the last couple of years, to where I am now, being able to use my brain like this, when I didn't think I ever would again, receiving such kind encouragement from you guys is meaning an AWFUL lot :)
Hehemm excuse my soppiness! And I'm just so excited to finally find a way of making one of my "great ideas that I've had for ages" a reality, and in way less time than I ever thought possible! Rev, along with such an amazing community and resources is making it so easy, and sooo enjoyable :) It's truly a Revolution for ME. I HATED school. But I LOVE learning and being creative. Rev Rox! Right well, back to study before I ramble too much more (at this time of night my messages get way too long and deep hehe). :) Cheers, Heather ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kay C Lan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "How to use Revolution" <use-revolution@lists.runrev.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2008 9:40 PM Subject: Re: Sliders & Images On Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 5:27 PM, H Baric <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Now Randy, your script here makes perfect sense to me as a beginner! > Eric's > not so, but I want it to, so these two scripts I shall take away and learn > from! > You are doing extremely well to already have your head around switch statements. There are long timers on this List who still shy away from them. Whilst I would not deter you from learning from Eric's excellent example, let me offer one really nice feature you can take advantage of with the Switch statement; and that is the 'default' option. switch myColour case "red" redHandler break case "green" greenHandler break case "blue" blueHandler break --handy feature during development default answer "I haven't covered the " & myColour & " situation." titled "Switch Error" breakpoint end switch In this case if you have an option menu, or a dialog box, or whatever, with the three colour options and you decided to include all the colours of the rainbow, if you forget to change your switch statement, you will automatically be told, best of all if you have script debug mode turned on, once you press OK to the answer dialog box that popped up to tell you about the Switch error, the debugger will pop up and stop in the very Switch statement that is missing the extra options! So easy to then fix :-) Whilst I can normally remember to get the Switch statements sitting right there in an option menu, I've really come to like Switch statements and my scripts are now infested with them so I often forget some of the ramifications of adding additional options. Default picks it up EVERY time. My stacks are for me, so it doesn't matter if I leave these statements as is, especially since I'll probably add a new option 2 months down the track and completely forget again the ramifications that can have. On the other hand, when you've gone final, it's easy enough to do a global search for 'default' and remove what would be useless lines of code in a perfect product ;-) Keep up the Revolution. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
