Re: Multiple LAN cards more..
Unfortunatly it seems that it's currently not possible to renew a subscription online. I assume if you contact Heather she will help you out though. Yeah!! I just got an email from Heather saying if I pay $300 for mc2.5.. I'll get a free upgrade to the 'Enterprise' ... I'm still unclear about my upgrade options.. I have metacard 2.4.3.. develop for pc, mac linux.. I want to upgrade.. If I upgrade to 2.5 for $300 do I get a free crossgrade to revolution ? If so, which edition? Yes, and the latest edition, with a years free updates. There are no crossgrade options on the runrev site anymore, do I have to buy the new full 'Enterprise' edition for $599 to maintain creative freedom across platforms? No, you don't. We will be maintaining the subscription model for MetaCard customers. I'll put the crossgrade option back up very shortly, Looking forward to playing with both 2.5 runrev soon :) regards alex ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Re: Multiple LAN cards more..
Thanks Pierre others.. Looks like I'll have to have a closer look at your code and play around with the server firewall :) Another quick question.. I've read through some of the mailings about the 'revolution' of mc I've sent off an enquiring email but I'm still unclear on my upgrade options.. I have mc 2.4.3.. I want to upgrade.. If I upgrade to 2.5 for $300 do I get a free crossgrade to revolution ? If so, which edition? There are no crossgrade options on the runrev site anymore so are we now supposed to just buy the new full 'Enterprise' edition for $599 to maintain the creative freedom across platforms which we previously enjoyed? Also what's happening to this mailing list? .. Is everyone moving over to the revolution one?

Re: mc 2.4.2 request (Scott Raney)
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a simple function which returned the host ip address (whichever was current or a list of valid ones) without having to open a socket. What use would this be? You'd always get a list, and wouldn't know which one would be used until you actually opened a socket. Regards, Scott Hi Scott, In respect to a particular app I'm developing.. just a simple p2p mac/pc file/msg transfer program. I can't have a server involved (yet), and the users know little about ftp etc but they do understand what a phone number is, so basically the IP address of their machine becomes their 'phone number'. Instead of providing each with a piece of paper with their IP address (not helpful because the users could be anywhere) I would like them to just run the app.. if connected to the internet use the IP for that (andu suggested a check for www.yahoo.com but who can guarantee yahoo be around a year from now) else connected via LAN adpater so display the associated address (in this particular case I know the users will have either a modem or 1 LAN adapter). Once they know their IP address, that can be shared with other users etc.. they can 'dial' connect with each other. Just easier from a user ( programming) perspective. I think having access to available host IP addresses would also be handy when writing general server apps that would service multiple adapters you just want to populate a combo list for choice selection. ..also any plans to support HTML tables within fields? :) regards alex ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Someone mentioned appleevents.. but how?
Alex,
I'll swap you Mac for Windows.
To do this on the Mac, your stack needs to handle the
appleEvent message.
Put the following handler in your stack script:
on appleEvent eClass, eID, eSender
if eClass = odoc then
request appleEvent data
if the result = empty then
answer OpenDoc AppleEvent! return \
id = eID \
sender = eSender \
data = it
else
pass appleEvent
end if
else
pass appleEvent
end if
end appleEvent
Build a standalone, and try it. You should see that when you
drag and drop
a file, this handler fires, and the data for the apple event
is the path of
the file(s).
The issue about which files you can drag-and-drop onto your app is
determined by the resources in the app. When the standalone
is built, it is
given the same resources as MetaCard itself - so it accepts
stacks. You
need to change these resources to identify the kind of files
your app should
accept. The resources in question are the file reference
('FREF'), icon
list ('ICN#') and bundle ('BNDL') resources. You should be
able to get
information about these on the apple site
(developer.apple.com) (I'm on the
road at the moment, with email access only - can't give you exact
referencess.) You'll need a resource editor - ResEdit or
Resorceror. Note
that you can only filter by Mac type codes, not by file extensions.
Now: can you tell me how I do this on Windows?!? I can't
even find out how
to access the environment variables.
Thanks Ben
Haven't tried it yet.. :)
For windows.. it is easy .. compile your exe
Dropped files are accessed via the global variables $0 - app name/path; $1
- dropped file 1; etc
(see Help - Concepts Techniques - The Outside World)
So to access the full path to the first file dropped onto the app:
put $1 into it
On windows it didn't matter what sort of file was dropped.. it accepted
everything .. files folders. It then becomes a simple task of processing
each variable $1 - $n (n - the last file). I don't have any folders with
thousands of files so I really don't know the limit of files it will
accept. Any1 any1?

Having 1 image displayed. Locking the screen while putting a 2nd image into the 1st image container with a show with visual effect command before unlocking. In both cases (mac-only, fine on pc) OCCASIONALLY while the 2nd image is coming on it flickers with askewed corruption. I'm using the crossfade for rollover images a slideshow and it also occurs for other effects (although I havent tested all the effects).

Because there are lots of media types associated with Quicktime you can use a range of tools. For movies - you can use various video editors - including Adobe Premiere cheaper PC options: MovieXone - http://www.aist.com/products Quick Editor - http://www.wild.ch/quickeditor If you're interested in interactive movies I recommend Macromedia Flash to add one layer of interactivity MetaCard for another ;) Also, TotallyHip are supposed to be bring out a PC version of LiveStage Pro http://www.totallyhip.com Good links - http://www.judyandrobert.com/quicktime/ Most good QT sw is MAC-based but with a bit a juggling you can produce quality QT content on the PC. Another option - buy a 2nd-hand iMac :) Most of my students own PC's but still mainly use our lab of G3's to edit digital video. Alex Shaw Intermedia / Fine Art Dept.
