Re: clipboardData imageSource
Hi Kathy, So, you are trying to capture images from within a field? The routine I showed you only captures from a named image. So, if you had an image on your card named fred then: create a button named Copy Image Fred to Clipboard on mouseUp copyToClip fred end mouseUp on copyToClip pImage choose select tool drag from topleft of image pImage to botright of image pImage copy choose browse tool end copyToClip I think you're better off using the image in the field to link to a handler which captures the originating image. So, w/out seeing your stack, I'd suggest when you click on an image in the field, you need to then SHOW the originating image on the card, execute the script above, then hide it again. best, Chipp ___ 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

How to break a line in a script: If a line of code is too long to be easily displayed in the script editor, it is convenient to break it into more than one line for display, while still having Transcript treat it as a single line. You use the \ character to break a script line for display, as in the following example: set the thumbSize of scrollbar 1 to \ (the height of group 1/the formattedHeight of group 1) When the above split line is executed, it's treated as a single line of code.

(You didn't look first, did you? ;-) No, I took all the ruckus here at face value. ;) So you single-handedly outdid the mighty Microsoft? Cool. It seems the problem then is not with your content, but with the current Help shell's inability to locate the content: Of course a user looking for the line continuation character won't know to look for the \ token, so instead I searched for line (too many results; none clearly relevant) and continuation (zero results). In your other post you quoted a block of text about line continuation -- where is that from? Your quoted portion contains the string break a line, but when I search for that string in Help it turns up zero results. Oddly enough, when I search my own Help shell containing the same content (imported from the thousands of tiny XML files used in Rev so I get all the many advantages of using native objects), searching for break a line or continuation takes me immediately to the \ token. Hmmm On further investigation I was finally able to get Rev's Help to find those as well. It seems that somewhere along the way in just those few minutes I was able to accidentally get it into a state in which it was returning false negatives. It's awfully complex, and works much harder than it needs to. This mystery state may help explain why so many others here had the same bad results I did at first.

Re: I give up: how do you continue a line in Rev?
As I noted in my previous post, I fully agree with Jon that it would be great for Rev to include an entry for the backslash token in the docs. FWIW, in the docs here, using 'Search For' on continue or continu lists the backslash character in the 1st found result. Using 'Search For' on break lists the backslash character in the 3rd result. Using 'Search For' on line lists the backslash character in the 8th result. BUT line break returns 5 unrelated results while break line returns no results, as does break a line. I believe others have posted comments on the search *mechanism* itself being a problem (not finding strings of words) and Richard is absolutely right here: there's no reason searching should miss break a line when this string explicitly appears in the help text.

Re: I give up: how do you continue a line in Rev?
I think the lesson here is that filtering is only a way of narrowing down the actual keywords and function names in the dictionary, or the topic titles in the topics section. If you don't know and can't guess the keyword or whatever, it's necessary to search, instead. Cheers, Mark On 19 Aug 2005, at 13:09, Jon wrote: Great.

Re: How to close URL
Do you mean how do you close a web page and return to Rev after using revGoURL? Or are you talking about after having used a file using the URL method? If the former, it's easiest to just quit the browser yourself, though you could use applescript (on mac) or vbscript (on windows) to do it for you. If the latter, the URL scheme in rev does all the opening and closing of files for you, so you don't have to worry about it.

Re: I give up: how do you continue a line in Rev?
If I might just interject a thought about indexes. The way I want to search for information when I don't know what something is called or even if it exists, is narrowing by categories. I would want a list of 10-20 broad categories. And for each broad category, a new list of categories would pop up, etc... That way I could search based from the concept level to more specifics until I was in a narrow range of subjects that had my topic. Not everyone knows the specifics of what to call something or how to phrase their question, but picking this way would make finding things much easier, and might even allow one to find alternative ways of solving the problem. The key to success here is that items in the index could appear in more than one place based on the concept being chased down.

Dear Peter, Here is a quote from what I said a few days back on the List: As you know, Linux grows daily, not least of all here in Brazil. However, until last week I had never found a Linux that worked 100%, so I stuck with Windows. But the great revelation of last week was the discovery of the Debian-based Ubuntu Linux, which is head and shoulders above the rest. Yesterday, I installed a trial version of RunRev, which not only seemed to work as well as the Windows version, but was even more beautiful! I was overjoyed.

In Delphi, all times are just expressed as floating point numbers, where each day is 1, 12 hours is 0.5, etc, so all of these calculations are dead triviall in that situation. I'm confused by all of the various ways that Dates can be used and Times can be used. I'm not sure if these two concepts are separate or united in some way.

I flagged a line in the code below. Rather than seeing 60 and then 50 and then 40, etc, I instead see 60 6 times and then 0. Am I doing something wrong? Or, rather, what am I doing wrong? One: You're using the time, which only provides hour and minute. What you want is the long time, which provides hour, minute, and second. Two: You're using item 5 of the dateItems, which is the minutes. Item 6 of the dateItems is the seconds, which is what you want. There's other stuff I have questions about, but the preceding two points *will* mess you up, and the stuff I've got questions about is prolly just differences in coding style, so there's no point in me asking.

If it helps, 'the seconds' (like 'the time', 'the date', 'the files') is really a function, and can be used like: put seconds() into tNow.

back/forward confined to one stack
I'm positively childishly pleased to report that my simple implementation of a history-list for a single stack or substack works. It confines itself to that stack alone (unlike the Rev- internal commands relevant to recent -- but thanks to Jacque for her suggestions that made me learn more about those). Assuming that each card in the relevant stack has a Back button whose mouseUp handler just sends the command 'backButton' and a Forward button that sends 'forwardButton', the handler's in the stack's script that I've copied below seem to do the trick. I don't know if anybody else needs this -- or if, as I'd be glad to hear, there's a better way to do it. It turned out to be a pretty design problem; the crux is what to do when the user navigates to card *not* using the Back or Forward buttons. In that case I've opted for deleting everything in the list after the present Ptr position. This has the disadvantage of making some visited cards not accessible through Back. (Visit Able then Baker then Charlie, then go back to Baker, then visit Delta. Charlie is not in the history path any more.) Getting around that requires, as far as I can see, adding every visit to every card (through a button or not) to the list, and keeping a potentially very complicated tree-based set of pointers to it. The only complete implementation of *that* kind of history I know of is the thorough, branch-preserving Undo facility of MOTU's Digital Performer. Certainly beyond me -- so it's a good thing it's beyond my needs.

Is that typical? This is true for almost any animation/messages that run in intervals less than 1 second. The more messages you have, and the more frequently you send them, the more processor time is consumed. What is interesting is that the related construct wait until condition with messages appears to consume little or no additional processor time, but accomplishes the same result. I've asked about this on the list before but never saw any official response from the rev folks. Wait with messages *appears* to be a less processor intensive technique, but the drawback is you cannot edit the script while the wait is executing. Does anyone know how that would compare to a similar animation in Flash? In a standard window there would be no overhead at all -- it would simply be animation. Last I looked (which was some time ago), I didn't see any way to *dynamically change* the window mask of a movie. I know you can apply a custom window shape to a standalone application, but I'm not familiar with any way to dynamically change the mask while the movie is running (though there may be a way).

Re: back/forward confined to one stack
Excellent work, Charles. I've quoted your full post here because your script makes good learning material for others who may have the same need, well worth a second read. As much as I appreciate the convenience of go back, like you I've found that I often need more control of what's included in the backList and what isn't. As you've found, maintaining your own history only takes a couple dozen lines in all, and gives you complete control over it.

What I'm trying to do is find a way to express more than 60 minutes after the most recent time/date stamp in such a way that it will not fail across noon/midnight boundaries. In Delphi, all times are just expressed as floating point numbers, where each day is 1, 12 hours is 0.5, etc, so all of these calculations are dead triviall in that situation. About as trivial as they are in Rev - use all your times in seconds and it's just as easy (or easier - integers instead of floating point numbers). If you want to convert them to human-readable date/time you can - that's what convert does for you. But if you just need to compare times, then I find it easier to stick to seconds. Ah. More puns. So the seconds means something different than seconds. I guess the seconds is what I was looking for all along. Difficult to spot, since it is more or less a time/date concept masquerading as a time. But, that said, this simplifies things considerably. In my own code, I would probably use seconds() rather than the seconds - but it's personal preference; as a classical language programmer, I find the function style more readable. -- Alex Tweedly http://www.tweedly.net -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Remember that Transcript supports what we call chunk expressions, so you can refer to delimited items as items and lines as lines: set the itemDelimiter to tab get item 4 of line 3 of tMyData I have a system I'm building which uses a mix of each, often with tab- and line-delimited tables stored in custom properties. It's reasonably fast (does a 3-criteria search at the rate of about 16k records per second) and since it's just native Transcript my client has no per-user seat fee. :) I'd prbably need a binary format for that as I have notes and photo's going in...

[ANN] Animated gif for OSX progress

Trouble is, it's not readily accessible so we have made one for Rev... www.FlexibleLearning.com/xtalk/OSXspinnerANI.zip It's a 16x16 24-frame animated gif, is only 4kb in size, and should replicate native OSX for most purposes in your stacks. With thanks to Todd for locating the original 32px tiff files! Notes for folks new to animated icons in Revolution... 1. Download from the address above 2. Unzip to the gif 3. Import the image file into your stack 4. Make a note of the image's ID To Start the animation, type this in the message box... set the repeatCount of img id [theImgID] to -1 To stop the animation, type this in the message box... set the repeatCount of img id [theImgID] to 0 To implement in a button (so you can use a single image anywhere and as many times as you want without duplicating it), simply set the icon of the button to [theImgID] and use the same lines above to start and stop as required. /H FLCo The Scripter's Scrapbook www.FlexibleLearning.com/ssbk.htm ___ 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

Re: Online Scripting Conference on Saturday
Claire Bradin Siskin wrote: Jacque, why don't you tell us about the Online Scripting Conference to be held on Saturday, August 20? The last one was so good! Good idea, and glad you liked the last one. These are always a lot of fun. Our next conference, which takes place tomorrow, will be presented by xtalk pro Jeanne DeVoto, writer of the Rev docs, author of reference books on HyperTalk, and long-time recognized person of stature in the scripting community. This should be a really excellent conference. Jeanne's grasp of Revolution's nuances and behaviors is extensive; she probably knows more about the engine and the language than anyone. Jeanne's topic this week is Menus and how Revolution implements them, something that stumps a lot of people at first. Also included in this topic are menu buttons and their behaviors (option buttons, popup buttons, etc.) The downloadable conference stack is full of good examples and documentation, and Jeanne will be adding more at the live conference. She has told me there is more to cover than she was able to write into the stack. After the conference we will have our usual free-chat session where you can ask anything, on any Revolution topic, including questions about your own projects or scripts. This is a very good way to get customized help from live experts (or for those in Oz, partially-live experts.) It is also a great place for general shop talk and conversation. I hope to see you all there.

Re: time anomaly
I get the current hour on my computer, 00 minutes, and 54 seconds. with twelvehourtime true = 4:00:54, and false = 16:00:54 using 4 = 16:00:04 using 124 = 16:02:04 (124 seconds past the current hour) using 3600 = 17:00:00 (3600 seconds, or 60 min past the current hour) thus if using only seconds, the function returns the time x seconds after the top of the current hour.
