Horribly wasteful in terms of file size, but guarantees no dependency on external components. This will allow you to show a SILENT film sequence: 1. Export your movie file to images (say 25 per second). 2. Import them into a hidden card in your stack [think BLOATWARE]. 3. On the card where

Timed User Input

I'm trying to set up a guessing game where the user has to race against a timer to give an answer before the time runs out. The problem is that when the user is asked for input, the timer stops due to the interrupt. Or the timer keeps running, and doesn't allow any user input. To work correctly

Re: Timed User Input

I am guessing that you are using an ask or answer dialog box, and this suspends normal operations, being a modal gadget. Why not display a suite of fields and buttons, nicely contained in some form? This affects no other part of the system. Or, as usual, am I missing the point/ Craig Newman

Rick, Are you using the with messages modifier in your timing loop? (e.g. wait 5 seconds with messages) This keeps the timer running and allows you to check for input, button clicks, etc. Marc On Jul 17, 2009, at 11:19 AM, Rick Harrison wrote: Hi Mark, I was using a repeat loop.

Re: Timed User Input

Very cool, something HC could only dream of. Check out the send command, which can be configured with a delay. But this is only a teaser; the message can be scripted to repeat. So you can write a handler that updates your clock, every second, say, and the rest of the world works normally. A little

Re: Unicode capability expansion

I like what Python decided to do with Unicode. There is no more ascii text in Python 3.x, all text is unicode. Seems like the best solution to me. No deciding whether this or that function supports unicode, they all do. The only difference is that you need a new term to stand in for a byte

Re: Unicode capability expansion

Ken, I fully agree. The byte chunk exists already in RunRev. The all- unicode approach would be similar not only to Python but also AppleScript. It would be awesome if chars would refer to actual unicode glyphs. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software
