RE: Rev state of play (was: no subject)

[FlexibleLearning]

Welcome back, Alain!

Jacque has pointed you in the right direction, but I'd like to add a word on
the revWeb plugin for 'revlet' apps... It has achieved proof of concept
stage, but we are all waiting for the final release of 4.5 for a
commercially solid technology.

I have at least one client champing at the bit for it. The main issue for us
has been the inability to ensure that the most recent version of the plugin
is installed, and un-installing currently requires manual intervention. This
is the show-stopper. Window layering, mouse and cursor issues, trivial
things like that, also have to be addressed. BUT, once done this is going to
be (almost) as revolutionary as RevMobile, and certainly for
dyed-in-the-wool-dont-want-or-need-an-android-iphone-gimme-a-break types
like me.

Hello.  :)

I have been using MetaCard 2.5 for over a decade now, and, with some free
time on my hands, I was wondering what RunRev was up to these days. I must
say.. I am impressed! Particularly with all of the new [web] features:

* save stack as revlet and deploy-to-web ;
* free downloadable plugin for revlets ;
* free 'player' of stacks (eg RevMedia) ;
* part to display/manage genuine tables ;
* interact with mySQL databases ;
* rev based web hosting ...

Way to go!  :-)

But how come I haven't heard much/any news about these new [web] features?
>From all of you mc/rev users, I mean. Do these features really deliver [as
promised]? Are Revlets better (perform better) than java-Applets? Or Flash
for that matter? Can a revlet write to the user's disk??

Do the revlets do everything a stack can? Are the revlets limited in some
way? Do they require a server-side process[es] - CGI, AJAX, or otherwise -
to do certain things? If so: basic things? or just extraordinary things?

Any comments on this, or any of the other aforementionned features, would be
GREATLY appreciated. :-)

Alain

P.S.: Is this the correct list for this inquiry?

Brad:

Are you working in OS 10, OS 9 or Windows? When you talk about text editing
- do you mean adding text to a quicktime movie? Or just text in a
"mirrored" presentation?

On our web site - www.btathletics.com - you will find demo's of two
different programs.  One is for football coaches, the other for any coach.
They are both for the Mac. We are releasing a PC version for football this
week. (As soon as our web site has a make-over!) Anyway, to demo either
program you need to download one of the programs and then drop in a
Quicktime file with a ".mov" added to the filename or an iMovie project
with a ".dv" added to the folder name. Add this media right to the CVA or
VEC folder.

Let me know if this helps.  I haven't used RR much.  I am programing
strictly in MC.  However, the new RR - which is supposed to be out soon -
has built in hooks to capturing video.  So ... we might move over to RR.

Let me know if we can help in some other way,

John,

I'm a multimedia developer with a serious case of Director antipathy. 
I'm considering Revolution for a project and I'd like to include a text 
editing function. I read in a post from last July that you had a stack 
with simple editing functions. If you could contact me or send me that 
stack I'd appreciate it. I'm also interested in finding out what people 
are doing with Rev, how it stacks up (no pun intended ;-] against 
Director and whatever other x-platform tools there are. Any thoughts 
appreciated.

There is a Script Debugger item under the Tools menu. It combines 
debugger (step, trace) with Variable Watcher into one. Its GUI is 
different but the functionality basically parallel to HC. It allows 
to set breakpoints (debug checkpoints).

Script Editor is there but you must first launch MC and then open 
your stack to run MC in the developer mode. Double-clicking the stack 
opens MC in a Player mode.

Message Watcher is not part of MC but you can try my Message Watcher utility.

http://www.robelko.com/metacard/mw.html

It does not fully replicate the MW of HC but you might find it useful anyway.

There is no variable watcher and no message watcher. I've needed these
too. The only time you can see those values is when you are debugging.
There is a script editor, which I'm sure you've used, but you probably
meant to say "debugger". There is a debugger; choose it from the Tools
menu. You can step through or step into handlers, trace and set debug
checkpoints. You cannot, however, abort a script while the debugger is running.

can i step, trace, and set debug checkpoints?

this info is probably right in front of me, but
all the new material is overwhelming right now.

Hi folks on the list,

i like to wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year.
(The first wish is a bit late due to the server-trouble of RR, sorry.)

And i want to thank all the nice people on this list for their
extremely helpful contribution to make life with MC easier :-)

There were many problems i could not have solved without you...


snip

And now let's have a very big hand for Scott Rainey, Andu (Undo :-),
Tuviah and the folks of RuntimeRevolution, who did incredible work
this (and not only this) year to make MC/RR even better.

OS X support, QuickTime transitions, sound-recording, RR 1.1,
semitransparency via PNG, FTP, new free externals and so on and so on...

Wonderful !!!

...and support IS definetely a word in their vocabulary !!!

(Have you ever received some sort of support from MM or
ADOBI-WAN-KENOBI ??? ;-)


Again, thank you very much and enjoy your (if at all)
christmas holiday.


Sincerely

You need to use the resource mover to either delete the old execution
error dialog from your stacks or move a new copy in there.  The
dialogs from 2.3 are not compatible with 2.4.  This is a good general
rule: if you've used the resource mover during development, you should
use it again whenever you upgrade to get new copies of these dialogs.

Scott

The error handling was changed in the recent version of MetaCard 2.4.1 (read
the readme -- I skipped over it until I got caught by something similar).
The errorobject is now defined differently. See the scripts in card 1 of the
executionError stack.

Hello Eva,

At this point, probably nothing (i.e.: don't touch to the script of the
"Execution Error" substack of stack "mctools.mc").

When this kind of error append, it's most of the time not an error
appening in the Metacard IDE error controls substack but, just an error
in NOT CATCHING WHAT GOES WRONG IN YOUR OWN SCRIPTS.

To test this possibility of trubble, just test your scripts betwin the
"try... end try" functions subset.

I'm getting following error message  when using a stack which worked on MC 
2.3. I don't know how to respond, if I have some strange programming or if 
it is something else.

Object: button "Script..." of card "Execution Error Card" of stack 
"Execution Error" of stack "D:MC2.4-1/mctools.mc"

When checking, it "markes" the line in:

What should I do here?

Hello list. I having a problem with embedding html graphics in a text field, 
and I'm not sure that I understand why. I am working with a text field with 
list behavior, and I am trying to embed an image at the beginning of each 
line.
I have tried a number of different methods. if I try -

put "" into variable1
put "" into variable2
put variable1 & line 1 of fld "Master" and variable2 into fld "Dimension"

everything works fine. If I try -

put "  " into variable1
put "" into variable2
put variable1 & line 1 of fld "Master" and variable2 into fld "Dimension"

("11430" being the id of the image that I am using), the ability to 
highlight lines in the text field becomes completely arbitrary, some lines 
working and others not.
I have also tried it without quotes, like this -

put "  " into variable1
put "" into variable2
put variable1 & line 1 of fld "Master" and variable2 into fld "Dimension"

which produces the same arbitrary results, and also like this -

put "  " into variable1
put "" into variable2
put variable1 & line 1 of fld "Master" and variable2 into fld "Dimension"

which also produces the same results, some lines working and others not. 
Each time that I try it, the lines which work and the ones which do not are 
different. While I have not included all of the code that is involved, I 
have made a small stack and recreated the problem in it, and I would be 
happy to send it to anyone who thinks that they might have a suggestion as 
to what the problem might be. Thanks for the help.

Hopefully someone can help me with a problem I am having. I am retrieving 
the html text from a field that contains  tags. Once 
retrieved, I want to replace the old id# with a new one, and then send back 
the html text back to the field. The end result will be that when you click 
on an image, it will be replaced with a new image.

I can retrieve the original image id# no problem, but I don't seem to be 
able to overwrite and replace the old id# with the new one. I have tried 
"putting" the new # into the html text, "setting" the html test to the new 
id #, "replacing" the old id# with the new one, I have tried "replaceText", 
but it seems that no matter what I try, it will either not be parsed, or it 
will return an error on execution.

I would really appreciate some suggestions to this problem, and would be 
happy to show you the slice of code that I am having trouble with. I am very 
new to metacard, and I am sure that I am missing something very simple, but 
I just don't seem to be able to see it. Thanks in advance for any help. You 
can contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Kevin

[Robin-David Hammond]

Does MC work on Linux based PADDs (or PDAs) ? [ its been 6 years and i dont know
which apreviation/acronym to use, Paramount's or Apple's.] I havent bought a
PADD/PDA since my Apple Newton Message Pad 100. The load-it-once attitude is
clearly the right aproach for embeded/wearable/pocket computers. I have noticed
that on monochrome macOS boxen the colours come out all but unreadable. B&W
seems impossible with recent versions. Perhaps its high time to reevaluate
systems requirements. Obviously winCE is a great concern to a great many people.
if MC can get to WinCE and Linux PDAs FIRST there is an rapidly emerging (or
growing?) market to corner.

inquired from across the pond:

How would you search a file for a line beginning with
some id number, and then extract that line and read
each item into a separate variable name?


kv is just a holder variable 

put url "c:/windows/desktop/goodfile.txt" into kv
filter kv with "#123*"
set itemDelimiter to "@"   -- whatever yours is
put item 1 of kv into varUno
put item 2 of kv into varDos

the mac urls I'll let others handle

good luck, Michael Kann

here's a quick and (hopefully not too) dirty one:

##supposed your file is a text-file...

put url"file:" & "the_path/to_your/file.txt" into whatsoever
get lineoffset("your_id_number", whatsoever)
set the itemdel to xxx   ##  replace xxx with your itemdelimiter
put line it of whatsoever into the_line
put item 1 of the_line into etc...


...not tested, but should do the job.

If in doubt, consult your dealer or this list or me off-list ;-)

open file thefile for read
read from file thefile until eof
put it into theread
get lineoffset("#" & some id number & the itemdel,theread)
close file thefile

or

get lineoffset("#" & some id number & the itemdel,url thefile)


where "#" is used as the line begining delimiter.

Hi List,

I have a quick question if anyone has time to respond.

I would like to know how to search a file for a line beginning with some
id number, and then to extract that line and read each item into a
separate variable name.

Many thanks

Great minds Dave ;-)

I just realised that an id coule easily contain an item delimiter. To make
sure there is no conflict you could make it "-" so an id could be "1-1-1-1"
or
"10-10-10-10" then you just set the itemdel to "-" to extract the hilited
buttons if needed.

Here's a crude approach (untried).

Assumes none of these groups will ever have more than 9 buttons.

To build the value, have a mouseUp handler in each of the groups 
something like this:

on mouseUp
if the owner of the target is me ## make sure the click was in the group
   put 0 into tVal
   put the hilitedButton of group 1 after tVal
   put the hilitedButton of group 2 after tVal
   put the hilitedButton of group 3 after tVal
   put the hilitedButton of group 4 after tVal
   # do whatever with tVal
end if
end mouseUp

Then to later retrieve the setting of any group using the calculated value:

function getGroupValue pVal, pGroup
## pVal is the value calculated above, pGroup is the group number
   return char pGroup of pVal
end getGroupValue

I expect there are better and more general solutions, but it should work.

Cheers
Dave Cragg

I'm not 100% sure what you are asking for here but if you need an individual
id for each possible combination to use later to match to a result of some
sort then why not create a 4 digit id number of the form:
the hilitedButton of group 1 & the hilitedButton of group 2 & the
hilitedButton of group 3 & the hilitedButton of group 4
Thus every possible combination will have a corresponding id that is also
quite easy to read and understand by a human.

Hope this is what you want

Regards

Monte

I am fairly new to the world of metcard and find it a fascinating piece
of kit. I am however having a problem with menus.

I have four groups of radio buttons. Group 1 has 7 buttons, group 2 has
4 buttons, group 3 has 7 buttons and group 4 has 5 buttons.

I would like to write a script that will automatically generate an id
number, corresponding to a certain combination of radiobuttons, when one
of the radio buttons is changed. Obviously there will be four buttons
selected at any time, and a total of 980 combinations, so efficiency is
important. What is the easiest way to achieve this result?

Many thanks for your help
