Re: erratic screen updates (was Slow screen lock/unlock)
Hi Michael, have you tried it outside the IDE? Make a standalone of the stack and see what happens. Maybe it will also look different in the player. When I worked on the first version of libRMC I also thought I couldn´t get smooth animations done (on slower machines). But as soon as I made a standalone it worked perfectly on my machine (a slow G4). I found that graphic cards with low video RAM could become a bottleneck, that is hard to deal with. So I ended up setting the minimal system requirements for my apps. rather high. (Computer with 600 MHz and at least 64 MB video Ram 512 MB Ram for OsX. 400 MHz 64 MB video Ram 512 MB Ram for Os 9. 800 MHz 64 MB video Ram 512 MB Ram for XP) Animation is always a problem on slower or badly configured machines. I can´t run flash fmovies under X either (on my G4-400) ,even though flash movies work good under 9. Now if I only could find a way to test if this requirements are fulfilled on the current machine. I guess on OsX/ *nix (and maybe XP) one could shell it out. Anyone an idea how to go about this? I *guess* all required info (on OsX) is in shell(dmesg) but I don´t know if it is consistantly formatted, to allow easy extraction of the data... If one extracts the required info it would be possible to display a warning like: Your computer might be too slow/have not enough RAM/Have a too small video-card to run this stack. Cheers, Malte If you run it you may find, as I do, that it is plenty fast enough in bursts, but the rate is erratic, with some cycles as much as 6 times slower than the average. Overall it works in a disappointing way. This has been interesting, but at the end I still have to say that I haven't found a way to get smooth animation rates. The calculations are fast enough and the screen updates are fast enough most of the time, but every second or so there are a few slow cycles and that makes any animation jerky and horrible. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I'm not sure about Windows or Linux, but you could use the command system_profiler on OS X and then search for the following pieces of info: -amount of RAM Memory ( the first returned line will provide total system memory) -processor type CPU Type (i.e. PowerPC 750) ; CPU Speed -video card type not sure what information you would need, but you would find it under PCI/AGP Cards -video card Ram VRAM (Total) -free HD space Available (will return HD space of boot drive) Usually I would use grep to get the info that I need, but I would love to know the best way to do this with Rev.

Greg, This could easily be achieved by creating a Daemon with Revolution. A Daemon is nothing more than a program that just sits there, and as you would want, would execute a script according to a timed interval. Since you are using Rev for CGI, it would have to be a program that is loaded when your server starts up, or remotely from a client computer which can make the calls to the CGI script that you want to execute. I hope this helps!

RunRev crashes when you experiment with database queries
I am trying to get the ID number of the last inserted record in a MySQL

I tried:
put revConnectionOfQuery(ConnectCrew) into tConnection

if tConnection is not a number then
put tConnection is: dbCUR into fld Exec result
exit mouseUp
end if
put SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() from tripulantes into dbQuery
put revQueryDatabase(tConnection, dbQuery) into LastInsertID
I am trying the above because I need the ID of the last inserted row of data
in the table tripulantes. The above does not give me the last ID instead
it gives a number like 59 when the ID would be 1289 or similar. If you run
it again, without making any changes in the database LastInsertID will be
60 then 61 and so forth. I don't know what it is doing but it is not what I
am looking for.

dealing with is tripulantes which means crewmembers) and it also didn't
work. The command is behaving very strangely as I can run the query over and

Re: Trial software and registering
I highly recommend that you do not time bomb your software if you want people to use it and pay you for it. This may be true, but there are also valid reasons to time out software. When I release beta software to my clients, I don't want that software running forever. I generally find it's not a good idea to have known buggy software running endlessly within a client company. I use an effective method of timing out software that isn't vulnerable to turning back the system date and doesn't rely on a data file. I check a system directory that is updated by access to the web (e.g. a directory that's a repository for internet cookies). In most companies these days, people access the interenet every day. Thus, there is almost always a file that's been created in that directory each day. I check the creation date of the latest file as my check file for the current date and compare that against the timeout date. Occasionally, the timeout will be off by a day or two but that isn't really an issue. Unless the person never connects to the internet, this method is effective. -- Regards, Howard Bornstein --- www.designeq.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: erratic screen updates (was Slow screen lock/unlock)
Message: 10 Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 09:26:10 +0100 From: Malte Brill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: erratic screen updates (was Slow screen lock/unlock) To: use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Hi Michael, I didn't see any difference between wait with messages and a simple wait. Using the with messages form allows other messages to pass while waiting. Otherwise your app. may be blocked while executing the wait. Cheers, Malte Thanks Malte and Richard. I like the wait with messages idea. I wanted to see if there was any practical differences between wait with messeages and executing the loop with a send to me routine. There was none in the two methods below. Each moves a graphic smoothly across the screen. One surprise to me was that wait with messages, while it allows for a screen refresh, it does not allow two handlers to operate simultaneously. To get two balls to move across the screen simultaneously, one needs to apply the send routine. I have learned this after the patient explanations of Malte and Scott. local tLoc,tStartTime on mouseUP put the ticks into tStartTime set the loc of grc ball to 10,100 put the loc of grc ball into tLoc put 1 into i repeat until i 600 add 1 to item 1 of tLoc set the loc of grc ball to tLoc wait 0 with messages--allows for a screen refresh; as would wait 0 millisec add 1 to i end repeat --doLoop 1 put the short name of me comma the ticks - tStartTime ticks return after field 1 end mouseUP --Running the above handler takes 86 ticks on my system. --Commenting out the repeat loop and inserting the doLoop command, --I get 87 ticks. No difference to speak of. --I should think that each method has the same practical effect. --It appears that the send in 0 millisec allows for a screen refresh and effectively replaces --the wait 0 with messages. on doLoop counter if counter = 600 then put the short name of me comma the ticks - tStartTime ticks return after field 1 exit doLoop end if add 1 to item 1 of tLoc set the loc of grc ball to tLoc send doLoop counter + 1 to me in 0 millisec--Allows for a screen refresh end doLoop But here was a surprise to me. Create two graphics objects, ball1 and ball2 with the following handlers: Ball1 handler: on mouseUp send mouseUP to grc ball2 set the loc of me to 10,100 put the loc of me into tLoc repeat 600 times add 1 to item 1 of tLoc set the loc of me to tLoc wait 0 with messages end repeat end mouseUp Ball2 handler: on mouseUp set the loc of me to 10,140 put the loc of me into tLoc repeat 600 times add 1 to item 1 of tLoc set the loc of me to tLoc wait 0 with messages end repeat end mouseUp When I send mouseUP to ball1, these handlers run successively, not simultaneously--synchronously and not asynchronous. I would have thought that the wait with messages would allow then to run simultaneously. The wait with messages in ball1 does not wait for the messages in ball1. To get that behavior I have to use the send to me in at least one object.

RE: RunRev crashes when you experiment with database queries
Bill,
I'm no MySQL expert, but I have some code that accomplishes this and it
seems to work just fine. From what I'm seeing in the code I have, it's
necessary to issue a Lock Table [my table] Write command, then insert your
record, and then call Last_Insert_ID. After that you have to use Unlock
Tables.
HTH,

work. The command is behaving very strangely as I can run the query over and

RevQueryDatabase help
Bill, If you want to get the last ID from a table in MySQL, use the following SELECT statement, and put the result into a variable - which will be the last ID value in that table: SELECT id FROM tripulatnes ORDER BY id DESC limit 1 This selects the column: id from the table: tripulantes, and sorts the table by column: id, in descending order. This returns the last record in the table. Warning: this only returns the last record, not the greatest (or MAX) value in that column, which I'm assuming is the Primary Key to the table. Now if you want the MAX value returned from the column: id, use the following SELECT statement: SELECT MAX(id) FROM tripulantes ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: RunRev crashes when you experiment with database queries
This sounds pretty complicated when the simple SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()
should work just by itself (and does if you run it from any other program).
I think I'm going to go with:
SELECT id FROM tripulatnes ORDER BY id DESC limit 1
That was suggested by mfstuart (thanks for that different approach) as it
looks fairly easy to implement. I sure wish that SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()
would work.
By the way, I've learned to use YourSQL to test out my SQL statements
first as testing them in Rev is no fun at all (too many crashes).
I think I will experiment with your lock table thing as it sounds
interesting, thanks for that suggestion too (I need all the help I can get).

ODBC connection help
Hi Bill, Glad to help with the SQL statement. But I would ask of you (or anyone else) how your ODBC connection is working. I have installed Dreamcard onto my work PC, and cannot for the life of me to get a connection to SQL Server thru the ODBC connection. I've created the DSN for the connection to SQL Server, and tested it with MS Access - no problem. Now back in Dreamcard, I've created the Database Query with the Builder, clicked on the Connect button. It returns connected to the Connection status. On the Record Set tab, I click on the Table drop down but nothing happens - it returns nothing. I've also typed in the SQL SELECT statement and then clicked on the Refresh query button, but then Dreamcard returns Not Responding, and I have to kill the session. Question: Using Dreamcard (not sure so far, that is the right name), what is it looking for as related to the ODBC connection? I guess my real question is - HOW DO I GET THIS TO WORK? sorry, this is getting frustrating!!

Re: Timed Execution of a Script (second time lucky?)
sez [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm playing with Revolution as a CGI engine with the scripts in stacks. I'm wondering if there's a way to have Revolution executive a script at specified intervals, for example, every Tuesday night at ten o'clock. Any thoughts? Sure. The basic idea is pretty simple: on openStack # or whatever other trigger you like ... send (TimedScript 86400) to me in 3600 seconds ... end openStack on TimedScript TheInterval DoAllKindsaStuffHere send (TimedScript TheInterval) to me in TheInterval seconds end TimedScript Of course, this kinda assumes that your machine will NEVER crash or go offline. Not what you'd call a realistic assumption. Therefore, a better idea would be to figure out when you want TimedScript to run the first time, and how often it should run thereafter (you're likely to find the dateItems time/date format helpful here); write that information to a text file on disc; and every time the program is run, it reads that text file uses that information. In short: The key is send TheMessage to me in XXX seconds. The rest -- figuring out what value to use for XXX -- is up to you. Hope this helps... ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Option menu strangeness
I'm developing an app under the RR IDE and one of the stacks shows a card with a lot of option buttons (menus) on it, allowing the user to pick stuff from a set of little lists and to see what has been picked. This has been working for ages: I read it by looking at the menuHistory of the buttons, and I can set them by setting the menuHistory also. Suddenly today for about half an hour the thing stopped working. When I clicked on (any) of the buttons, I saw the list of options, but they wouldn't stick, I mean if the options were A B C and B was showing, then picking A or C did nothing: the button reverted to B as soon as I let go of the mouse. After a bit the problem went away, leaving me totally mystified. I realise it must be something I've done, but I can't guess what it could be. Has anyone got any suggestions? BTW the IDE seemed to remain stable while all this was happening - no trouble with its menus or buttons. Strange.

Re: field information bails out on card 2
Paul, You could make tData a global variable instead of a local variable global gData on openCard put item 5 of line 1 of gData into field L1 -- whatever else end openCard You will also need to declare the global in the script where you put the data into it. If you are going to put from a fld on one card to a fld on another card: put fld L1 of cd 1 into fld L1 Does into replace the current data and after adds data? Yes, that's right. If fld L1 is on a lot of cards, is part of a group with background behaviour (in the group's property inspector) set to true (you can have just one control in a group) and you want to display exactly the same data in the fld on each card, you can check share text on the flds property inspector.

Re: field information bails out on card 2
Some thoughts (but maybe not answers): - Is fld L1 of card 2 under (covered by) some other object? - Is the visible of fld L1 of cd 2 set to true? (You can check both the above conditions in the 'Application Browser', available in the Rev 'Tools' menu.) - If the fields are positioned in the same spot on both cards, you could group the field and then place it (the group) on both cards with the field's 'sharedText' property set to true. That way you don't have to keep putting the same value into it.

Why is that not vulnerable to turning back the system clock ? If I set my system clock to a year ago, then each time I access the web, I'll create my cookie files with dates in 2004. This method isn't foolproof, just effective. It would generally not work well for most people in businesses to permanently change their system clock just to spoof some software. All their emails would have the wrong dates and for most businesses, this would not be an option. People can always find a way around something like this. This method works well and defeats the semi-serious spoofer who might temporarily change the system clock or delete or change a prefs file. If you don't think this is a useful method, uh, don't use it. :-) -- Regards, Howard Bornstein --- www.designeq.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

It might be reasonable to check for dates lots of places and then assume that the current real date is the latest of those or later. One can't prove that a demo is valid, but it the assumption holds then one can prove that it has expired. Better idea: Presuming your app uses the standalone splash screen w/ the executable being a document model, give the executable a custom property which *starts out* at a value of *zero*, the first time it's run. Include this code in the executable's stack script: on preOpenStack PreOpenStuff ... CheckingTime ... OtherPreOpenStuff end PreOpenStuff on CheckingTime put the TotalTimeUsed of this stack into Fred add 1 to Fred if Fred 600 then # or whatever number you like answer I'm sorry, but this demo is expired. quit # or however you want to handle it end if set the TotalTimeUsed of this stack to Fred send CheckingTime to me in 60 seconds end CheckingTime This way, the TotalTimeUsed property is an explicit record of the number of minutes this app has been used, so *it doesn't matter* what the user does with his system clock. Of course, if you copy the stack, you copy the custom property with it, which means copies will start out with whatever amount of already-used time on their clock. This is not necessarily a good thing. Perhaps it might be appropriate for the preOpenStack handler to gather a bit of data on the hardware configuration of the machine it's running on, compare that to a buit of data it (the stack) has stored, and reset the clock if the hardware configuration is changed? If so, the clock will of course reset any time one of the relevant hardware-thingies gets upgraded... but how often does that happen? Another option: Use a textfile instead of a custom property. Check for the existence of the textfile; if it ain't there, you're on a 'virgin' machine, and start the clock running from zero. I'd suggest that you use the app's Preferences file for this purpose -- less heartburn all around. Have the app keep track of the minutes it's been in use, and have it adjust the use-number in the prefs file when it shuts down. If you're worries about people deliberately crashing the app to avoid this step, you can have it write to the Prefs file once every 5-10 minutes or so while in use. Yes, under this scheme it's likely that when the official time limit (10 hours, 15 days, whatever) rolls around, the user may have used the app for *longer* than the official allotment of time -- consider what happens if the clock is incremented every 60 seconds, and the user quits 50 seconds after the latest such increment. My response: So what? *Who cares* if the user gets more than your arbitrary 10 hours' (or whatever length of time) use out of your app? The point of timing out your app is that the user can't continue using it *indefinitely*, and this scheme certainly does that.

Re: protecting images in a standalone

I'm finally getting started with my standalone DB app and need some ideas on how to go about protecting a *bunch* of jpg images that are used in the database. My preference is to continue hosting them on a remote server for use as needed, but the new consensus is that I need to built a fully standalone app. :( I've thought about just dumping them into a folder using an odd file naming convention along with an extention other than jpg, which would deter most average folks from pilfering. On the other hand, although there is no great value to anyone other than a few potential competitors, this will be a commercial app and the images are of a certain proprietary nature. Any ideas or suggestions for a better protection scheme that could be incorporated into a REV app? You could put each image into a stack as a custom property. If the images aren't too large, you could put more than one in each stack. Then start using the stack, extract the custom property as needed, and load it into an image object on your main stack. If you password-protect the storage stack, the data content will be scrambled with the image content if anyone tries to look at it in a text editor. It would be disguised on casual inspection. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: RevQueryDatabase help
I finally figured out why the SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() sql statement wasn't
working.
I was using:
revQueryDatabase(tConnection, dbQuery)
Which doesn't give you data from the query but instead results in a useless
number that increments weirdly (useless to me anyway).
Instead all I had to do wos use:
revDataFromQuery(,,tConnection, dbQuery)
As shown below and it now works
put empty into fld Exec result
put revConnectionOfQuery(ConnectCrew) into tConnection
-- first escape error
if tConnection is not a number then
put tConnection is: dbCUR into fld Exec result
exit mouseUp
end if
limit 1 into dbQuery
put SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() into dbQuery
put revDataFromQuery(,,tConnection, dbQuery) into LastInsertID
Also I found out that the SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() FROM tablename sql
statement results in a repeat of the ID for the number of rows in the table
(don't get that either).
Now everyone on this list knows that I program by trial and error...

Bill,
If you want to get the last ID from a table in MySQL, use the following SELECT
statement, and put the result into a variable - which will be the last ID
value in that table:
SELECT id FROM tripulatnes ORDER BY id DESC limit 1
This selects the column: id from the table: tripulantes, and sorts the table
by column: id, in descending order. This returns the last record in the table.
Warning: this only returns the last record, not the greatest (or MAX) value in
that column, which I'm assuming is the Primary Key to the table.
Now if you want the MAX value returned from the column: id, use the following
SELECT statement:
SELECT MAX(id) FROM tripulantes

Re: Option menu strangeness
Very strange. I also just ran into a very weird (and different) oddity using combo buttons. Suddenly a combo button I've been using on a stack stopped working. I was operating with a mouseup handler in it. When it stopped working I checked the message watcher and sure enough, no mouseup message was being sent. Everything else looked fine (mousedown was sent, for example). Here's where it gets really weird. If I copied the button to another stack, mouseup was sent. Since the button's handler gets first crack, I can't figure out how its mouseup message was getting hijacked. I'm not using any frontscripts. I resolved it by using the more traditional menupick message handler, but I have no idea why a) a previously working button would change its operation and b) why the mouseup message in particular suddenly stopped being sent. -- Regards, Howard Bornstein --- www.designeq.com On Fri, 18 Mar 2005 23:28:28 +, Graham Samuel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm developing an app under the RR IDE and one of the stacks shows a card with a lot of option buttons (menus) on it, allowing the user to pick stuff from a set of little lists and to see what has been picked.

Suddenly today for about half an hour the thing stopped working.

After a bit the problem went away, leaving me totally mystified. I realise it must be something I've done, but I can't guess what it could be. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Re: Option menu strangeness
Just a followup on this strangeness. Soon after posting the last message, Rev really started wigging out. The debugger wouldn't work properly and Rev started crashing. I restarted Rev several times with the same results. I tried editing the option button (it was actually an option button, not a combo button) and every time I'd click it after the edit, Rev would quit. I went so far as to reinstall a new version of 2.5.1, but this behavior continued. Finally I copied the button to a new stack, deleted the button on my current stack, and then copied it back to my current stack. After this the button worked without crashing Rev (but the 'on mouseup' message still never got sent). !!??
