Re: Error uploading file in Windows: this looks like a bug, please confirm...
I have an FTP file manager app that uploads files via WinXP. The app is written in Rev. It seems to work just fine except with one or two file types. Not sure what's going on with them, but maybe that's the problem? Have you tried multiple files types?

Re: There Was a Problem Saving the Standalone Application
Hi Ken, Yes, I was referring to the trackpad. I know many people don't ever use the trackpad on Macs, but I use it all the time on my PC laptop, and I'm wondering if it isn't because of the lack of a right-mouse button. I considered purchasing an Intel Macbook, but realized I couldn't ever get past the lack of a right-mouse button and the lack of a delete key (which I use all the time...not backspace key...which I also use). Ctrl-click on a trackpad requires two fingers, one to press the control-key, the other to hold-down the mouseKey at the bottom of the trackpad, meanwhile the other hand works moving the cursor over the trackpad to choose the correct menu item. I suppose for young large hands, it would work just fine, but my fingers would get tired awful fast trying to contort regularly that way. -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

Dan, Do you mean it doesn't work with Mac files on a PC? If so, it could be .bundle filetypes as these are actually folders, not files (go figure).

The image's imageData property contains a binary representation of the image AS IT IS CURRENTLY DISPLAYED. Rev Dictionary notes that using the imageData of an image displayed at less-than-full size as the source of another image causes a loss of image detail. Even at full size, I presume the imageData shows the image at 72 dpi of my screen, not the 250 dpi resolution of the image's TEXT. If so, simply storing the imageData somewhere and using it in a new image (or in resetting the existing image) causes a loss of image detail. -- Rob Cozens CCW, Serendipity Software Company And I, which was two fooles, do so grow three; Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee. from The Triple Foole by John Donne (1572-1631) ___ 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

Moi: simply storing the imageData somewhere and using it in a new image (or in resetting the existing image) causes a loss of image detail. Simply resetting the imageData property is OK; but put savedImageData into image 'whatEver' or set the text of image 'whatEver' to savedImageData WILL cause a loss of image detail. This can be helpful at times: Suppose one wished to display high resolution JPEG images stored in a folder AND one wants a thumbnail copy of the image on a photo index card in your stack. One can load an image, set the dimensions to thumbnail size, and create a small, low resolution image on the index card using the original image's current imageData property. -- Rob Cozens CCW, Serendipity Software Company And I, which was two fooles, do so grow three; Who are a little wise, the best fooles bee. from The Triple Foole by John Donne (1572-1631) ___ 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

Not because of the lack of a right mouse button, but because I prefer the control I get with a mouse. As to the delete key you can type FN-Backspace, which gives you the same effect.

Well, one of the things I've learned to do is to use my left index finger to hold down the control key while I push the button below the trackpad with my left thumb. It's not a real stretch (as the laptop is small). This leaves my right hand completely free to navigate the menu with the trackpad. Of course it would be nicer if there was a right mouse button on the laptop itself, and I don't know if it would be any worse with a larger 15 or 17 MacBook Pro, but you get the idea...

I see next to no reason to ever reference the imageData property of an image, and as noted in my last post, setting the TEXT property causes the imageData, dimensions, and related properties to adjust automatically. I use the text method when I need to dynamically resize images, but in this particular case the dimensions and properties will never change. Since I also need to set the maskdata, and sometimes the alphadata, I just used the imagedata too. Basically I'm creating small icons on the fly as determined by user input. I only need to create 64 pixels at a time. In this particular case, the loss of detail you mention in your other note doesn't matter much, because 64 pixels doesn't offer a whole lot of detail anyway. ;) But it's a good tip for other uses. I think the main thing I learned was that you really do need to match up the length of the imagedata and the size of the image. Otherwise you're in trouble. Now that I've fixed my repeat loop to calculate the area correctly, it seems to be working fine.

Looks like you are making big images. I'm making teeny ones. Maybe someone is interested, so here is what I needed, and what I ended up doing, and how I got there. (If nobody's interested, skip the rest.) Goal: The user arranges objects on screen. These are large objects that fit into an 8x8 grid, each having a color that is really a gradient. When they are done, they have a unique 8x8 pattern. I need to capture the pattern, represent it in a 32-pixel square icon that repeats the pattern 4 times across and 4 times down. In other words, I need to reduce a very large screen image made of gradients into a clear icon using only 64 pixels per patttern (1024 pixels total.) First thing I tried: take a snapshot of the area. Reduce it to 32 pixels square by resizing the image and then setting its imagedata in order to reduce the amount of data stored in the image object. Result: fuzzy, indistinct icon containing only one pattern instead of 8 repeating patterns. The gradients didn't reduce well, of course. I thought about reducing the image to 8 pixels square and duplicating it, but this first attempt proved that anything smaller would be nothing but a blob. Second thing I tried: Storing the user pattern as a series of different characters to represent each object's main color. This gave me 8 chars per line and 8 lines. Then I created an off-screen group of buttons in a grid 8x8, and set the colors of the buttons to match the user's pattern. This gave a flat color for each button and removed the problem with the gradients. I took a snapshot of that, reduced it to 32 pixels square, and set the imagedata of a new image. Result: very clear icon of the right size, but still only has one pattern instead of 8. I considered adding more objects to my offscreen grid to make a repeating pattern, but decided to try the next method instead. Third (successful) method: Ditch the offscreen grid, but continue to translate the user pattern into a series of characters and lines in a variable. Multiply each line of characters by 4 so I have enough characters (pixels) to fill my image (this is where I went wrong before; I didn't multiply enough times and didn't have enough pixels.) Then I translated the character set to colors in binary and put those into a variable in the right order. Finally I set the imagedata of a newly created image to the imagedata I'd just created. Bingo, it works. Teeny little repeating pattern, each one 8 pixels square, repeated 16 times inside a little icon. There it is, just in case anyone needs to do this. Which I doubt. :) -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ 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

FWIW, I decided my client's software doesn't need to do that test after all. :o) It's almost impossible to buy an off-the-shelf machine that doesn't do sound. Plus, I'm not really sure what the returned value tells you - my original assumption was that the player would return a non-empty value if the 'start player' command didn't finish successfully. I guess I'll prove/disprove that one and call it good. I'd also like to know what that result means - in general I think it would be great if the dictionary had a standard callout result to describe the result of all commands and messages, just like it has parameters. It's one of the few tricks that I think were missed in the original TD. Anyway, back to your question - while I don't know what that number signifies either - I can say that from experience recently working with machines that didn't do sound (custom made units with Windows XP Embedded), in this instance you get an error before using start player, at the point that you set the filename - ie even if the file exists, when you set the filename of the player Rev doesn't just store that but starts pre-rolling the file, setting the properties of the player that you might want to interrogate like duration etc. Certainly if you've got the sound hardware, but the software infrastructure to play the sound isn't right, you get an error at that stage. My guess is that if you don't have the audio hardware, the software would either not be installed or report an error back to Rev also. If the machine doesn't do sound, you'll get an error when you set the filename of the player. If you didn't get an error at that stage, I think you can be confident that start player will work.

Esp now with Mighty Mouse being so widely accepted. -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
Re: [OT] Of Mac Right Clicks (was Re: There Was a Problem Saving the Standalone Application)
There is a new feature in Mac OS X 10.4.7. Put 2 fingers on the trackpad and click the button for a right click. Its a brilliant way to overcome what I considered a shortcoming of a one button laptop. In fact, I like it better than having two buttons.

I'm wondering how exactly one simulates a right-click? I wouldn't think taping on the track pad would work all that well. In fact, I've turned off 'tapping' on all my track pads for that reason My Macbook Pro is my primary machine, so I use the trackpad constantly (So much I was starting to develop wrist pains from constantly clicking with my thumb) I originally got the software for scrolling on my Powerbook (before Apple implemented two finger scrolling support in hardware) I use the trackpad tap set for left click with drag and the trackpad button set for right click People who want to borrow my machine for a few minutes are throughly confused, but I'm a lot more efficient and my wrist pain went away. I have 2 corners currently set as buttons for Expose and Dashboard. Chipp, if you wanted to you could set one corner button to Delete (which is a combo fn+delete on a Apple laptop) Regards, Todd ___ 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

I've been doing some research on the mailing lists, forums, and documentation, and have concluded that the only way this would be possible is through the use of an external. Is there any other way this could be accomplished, as I'm not too keen on trying to piece something together at a lower level, let alone porting it to different architectures. If I will have to bite the bullet and use externals, are there any on the mailing lists who could point me in the right direction on where to get started, particularly on Mac OS X? I guess it depends what you're actually trying to achieve, but in general speaking as a lazy man I'd avoid as far as possible re-inventing anyone else's wheels. In that spirit - and a Mac solution only, but hey there's reasons why that's still, sometimes, a superior platform - I just checked and Skype appears to have a proper AppleScript dictionary, including AppleScript access to the Skype API (cool).

Image files are pretty complicated for folks making a simple image. Oh. Do you mean P6? Cool! Does P6 have alpha? Never mind. I can export as a portable pixmap format, but I can't seem to set it. I think there is an uncompressed PNG format that one might use to create images, but it still might be hard to use. Maybe a simple library can work. I even tried to change chars of an image directly, but I didn't see any changes. Didn't crash either. As far as I know imageData is the simplest way to make an image.

[OT] List Professionalism --- was Microphone
In the past, I've relied on the mciSendString command... And it is Windoze-only. And your SoundStudio 3 solution is crApple-only. (example of not playing nicely) Your recommendation appeared to be helpful and sounded most excellent. Your subtle slamming of someone elses idea was not. As you see, nobody appreciates *even relatively harmless* name-calling toward their OS of choice within a professional environment such as this list. I see no reason why people can not simply type Windows or Mac OS, etc. I don't want this to turn into an incredibly OT *flame war*.

Re: [OT] Of Mac Right Clicks (was Re: There Was a Problem Saving the Standalone Application)
Ben, I know the feature in on a MacBook Pro but I think it should be on AlBooks too. In the Keyboard Mouse System Preference, click the Trackpad tab. Check the box labeled, Place two fingers on trackpad and click button for secondary click. If you don't see that option then you are either at something earlier than 10.4.7 or the Mac doesn't support it.
