Re: get URL returning empty string

For some reason get URL returning empty is quite consistent behavior on at least one customer's machine. Might it help to use the load command instead? Are they implemented more or less the same way internally? What about communicating through sockets? Is that more reliable? (I am currently using a .php script to execute some commands on the server and return a value.) Not directly answering your question, but on the machines which fail, can you try accessing the Web page (php script) from a browser and verify that works. I know you said I know that the web page that I am trying to load is NOT empty. but I explicitly want to check for accessibility from the same machine on which it fails via Rev. After doing what Alex suggests, you should probably use libUrlSetLogField to log the exchange between your app and the server. The odd thing is that the result is returning empty. This should only happen if the server sends a 200 response. If it is getting a 200 response, I'd want to see whether there is a Content- length header in the server's reponse, and if not, whether there is a Transfer-encoding header. If there is neither, libUrl will use a socketClosed message to determine the end of the data transfer. In this case, a premature close of the socket might produce what you are seeing. (When those headers are present, which is normal, a socketClosed message during a data transfer will produce an error in the result.) This is the only thing that I can think of to explain what you are seeing, unless it's a bug in libUrl. In either case, getting the server's response would help.

Re: Property Table Type Doc Index for all entries
Hi Dennis The thing is under testing. After that i hope to spend yet some more time to compose a simpler documentation (which i already started)... Alas with just two hands, a full-time job and so little time around it, it's hard to make ends meet. Im doing my best and i noted your comment... I'll try to make it yet simpler ;) Devon looks like a nice copy of TAOO over a decade ago (but with nicer gui)... Competition gives me hope - proves my data model is right ;) I do already all they do and much more... Included multicolumn previews or editing, file browsing, agents, etc... My however is open source - not macOSX only and all was written in rev with no external's dependencies - fully portable anywhere. I also wrote my own photo album and more. When TAOO comes out, their product might be severly obsoleted ;) cheers Xavier On 03/06/2005 00:23:19 use-revolution-bounces wrote: Xavier, Yes, I have visited your TAOO site several times.

Buddy, - is your name Dan? or Buddy? Hi, welcome to the list!!! You would be well served by going through the User Spaces in REV Online. I believe there are many sample stacks that you could learn from. There is one called PlayWavMCI that uses a different approach than Quicktime to play wav files that is very interesting although probably not what your looking for. Also at the REV site is a link to users websites where you can find many wonderful websites of users on this list. I believe someone had a sample mp3 player on their site. There was a stack Playerstuff 1.0 that showed how to use a player in REV but I think was mostly movies. I know I've seen an mp3 player with skins. I hope someone will help you.

Re: player visibility bug?
Hi Jon, No, it's not a bug. As a player is designed to play movies, then it stops when it is hidden. It's a normal behaviour: there is nothing to watch :-) So, instead of making your player invisible, let it visible but put it out of the card window area: set the bottomRight of player MyPlayer to -1,-1. Note that you can put any object out of range of the user's action by placing it out of the card window without having to set its visible to false. It's a very old handy trick :-) Best regards from Paris, Eric Chatonet. Le 3 juin 05 à 14:23, Jon a écrit : I am writing a complex media player application.

Question about connecting to the Internet
Perhaps someone can help with the following question: Is it possible for Revolution, after clicking on a word, to connect to the Internet (Google e.g.) and automatically paste in the word into Google's search field? Connecting to the Internet is easy (RevGoUrl http://www.google.com;). And I can also direct Revolution to copy the word first so that the user can then paste the word into Google's search field once the Google page is opened. However, is it possible to do all this automatically, i.e. after clicking on the word, the user is taken directly to Google where the word is automatically pasted in? Thanks.

When you toggle on the thread you have them nicely grouped, however, when you then sort the threaded mails it loses the thread action unless you rethread. When you consider the time you spend on email, it is well worth paying for a client that will do exacctley everything that you require. Gemini is great for this and has been on RISC OS for years.

Problem with saving standalone
I have a stack I'm working on, which when I want to save as a standalone (for either Mac or Windows) comes up with the message There was an error saving the standalone application. I can't figure out why, since other stacks save easily as standalones. I'm using Mac OS X (Panther). There are about 135 cards in the stack, with only one small graphic and scripting that isn't especially fancy. Can anyone suggest what might be wrong and how I might go about correcting this?

So if you're still pre-Tiger it may work well, and there may also be AppleScripts and/or other solutions as well.

They give the corners of the little shape used for the marker. Thanks Jeanne. That was very helpful. I see what my problem was. I was setting the MarkerDraw property to true, but there were no marker points to be drawn until I had called Reshape Graphic from the Object menu. Apparently, if the marker points are empty, Reshape Graphic constructs a small 33 point closed, filled polygon to simulate a blackened circle. I would like to see how RR does this but I have forgotten how to peek at a RR menu script. Could you refresh my memory? Marker points are a tease if what you're looking for is the equivalent of SuperCard's editPoints property, as the engine's marker points can be seen but do not respond to clicks. You could dig into Rev scripts with devolution easily enough, but the scripted implementation has some unusual aspects to its behavior. Also, for even someone as experienced as yourself, we find that it's not straightforward to implement, esp. compared with SuperCard's one-liner. It was a cool hack as a workaround before Rev owned the engine, but now that they own it there's a request to raise the bar to implement the behavior in the engine natively to allow us to build things on the order of SuperCard's SampleDraw (or MacDraw or any basic drawing environment): http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=624 If such drawing environments are of interest and you need to present them in scrolling document windows, you may also be interested in: http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=623 -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge: Publish any database on any Web site Richard, I'm afraid I've forgotten what little I had learned of SuperCard. I did note that Kevin said during a recent programming conference that there are upgrades coming in Rev's graphics capabilities. Anxiously awaiting. Along the lines of programmability of markerpoints, I would hope that if RR offers bezier graphics, that the handles are programmable, unlike the current marker points--or maybe they are, but I don't know how. I have in mind applications in which the user is allowed to manipulate bezier handles to change the graphic shape *and* act upon the results. For example, the handles could be programmed to report the new area within the closed bezier polygon--easy to do. I am thinking in particular of my Manning Formula Calculator which needs the perimeter and area inside the bezier closed polygon in order to calculate flow rates in the canal. Wish I could respond more intelligently to your comments about the engine's implantation of graphic reshaping. Even after a couple of years of use, I still find myself overwhelmed by RR's potential. Watching the Fedder/Nadal tennis match as I write this. I feel about RR the way I would if I were on court against either of these two. Don't understand how Maria Sharapova's lost. She is s cute.

Hi Jacque, I did not want to hurt you. Sometimes, my bad english makes things seemingly a little bit hard... And I found it when I read again my mail... Do you want to excuse me?

Re: sort question
Greetings, jack First point is that these are not numbers, so numeric has no meaning. These are text strings and are sorted as such. You also have some lines with trailing spaces.

I can't figure out why, since other stacks save easily as standalones. I've been collecting a list of possible causes. Check these things: 1. The path to the stack contains non-ASCII characters, such as diacritical marks or accent marks. Avoid the use of accented or non-ASCII characters in path names. 2. The standalone builder is set to search for inclusions but the stack is password protected. Select the inclusions manually instead, or remove the password. 3. Alternately, the standalone builder may be having trouble searching for the required inclusions regardless of password protection. Turn off Search for required inclusions and turn on Select inclusions for the standalone application. Then choose the resources you need to include yourself in the Standalone Settings dialog. 4. The folder name is the same as your standalone's name. You need a unique folder name; make sure you select an empty folder with a name different from the standalone's name. If you have previously built a standalone from the same stack, do not try to build a new one into the same folder. Trying to overwrite an existing standalone with a new one can casue problems. Rename or remove the old folder first, and then build. 5. Your source stack's file name does not use an extension, or uses an incorrect extension. Make sure your stack's file name ends with the extension .rev 6. Your source stack contains duplicate message box or ask or answer dialogs. Remove the embedded stacks and let the standalone builder add them instead. (This usually only occurs with stacks originally created in MetaCard.)

1 button for mutliuses
I have a question, lets say you want only one button for a play and pause function, If a player was playing, the button would say Pause and when you pressed it, the button would pause the player and the word on it would change to Play, Vise versa Someone tried to explain this before, but I don't really get what they meant by what they said Thanks, (You can call me buddy) ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: 1 button for mutliuses
Buddy, In order to use the one button for multiple functions, you'll need to set some information about it. For example, when the user hits play, change its name and its icon property. It will still be the same button, just appear differently to the user. Here are some pieces: set the name of me to Play set the name of me to Pause set the icon of me to 1000 ## the ID of an image you want to use on mouseUp if (the short name of me is Play) then ... else ... end if end mouseUp HTH, Brian I have a question, lets say you want only one button for a play and pause function, If a player was playing, the button would say Pause and when you pressed it, the button would pause the player and the word on it would change to Play, Vise versa Someone tried to explain this before, but I don't really get what they meant by what they said Thanks, (You can call me buddy) ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: 1 button for mutliuses
So does that mean I would have to insert all of this code into the Script part? And for the ID, what would an example look like x.x like on the C:/ Drive or something like that..

Keyboard Layout under Windows 98
Hi everyone, This is my first post here. I bought Rev Studio a few weeks ago and I have really enjoyed working with it, and reading about how to from this list, which has helped me a great deal! I have a question, though, that I haven't been able to find an answer for yet. I am using Windows 98 Japanese OS. When I open Rev, the text input mode automatically switches to a US English keyboard layout. Even if I go into the keyboards control panel and delete this layout, when I open Rev, it just comes back, almost as if Rev is creating it. This means that the punctuation characters do not display as typed. For example, on my keyboard is shift-6, but I have to type shift-7 to get it in Rev. Almost all the other punctuation characters on the right of the keyboard have the same problem. What I need to work out is why Rev isn't using the default keyboard layout and input method editor. I have other English software on this machine, and all of it honors the keyboard layout setting provided by the OS. (in fact, I am typing this now in an English version of Firefox, and there are no problems.) Although I personally can live with this problem, I want to distribute my software to people using Japanese systems - and then it becomes a much bigger issue for me. They will expect that when they type a bracket, or apostrophe, or ampersand, then that's what they get! Any fix / workaround gratefully appreciated!
