Re: send message in 10 doesn't work properly
Hi Richard et al. When using the send command ,with time, you have to specify an object that you wish to send the message too. You should be able to use the to me syntax if you are sending the message to the object that is issuing the send command. I changed your script slightly to something like this and it works as expected- *on mouseUp** ** if the hilite of button milli is true then** ** put milliseconds into myTarget** ** else** ** put InternetDate into myTarget** ** end if** ** Send doit to button myTarget in 10 ** **end mouseUp* Kind Regards, Neil Roger -- RunRev Support Team ~ http://www.runrev.com --- If you wish to On 19/01/2014 01:03, Dr. Hawkins wrote: After fighting this for a couple of hours, I finally found that my message sending of the form send doit myTarget in 10 doesn't work properly--the in 10 is ignored.

Re: send message in 10 doesn't work properly
unfortunately the docs aren't really open-source/wiki yet. There are plenty of cases where the docs are unclear or problematic, and suggestions have been sent, but they're really busy in Edinburgh, so the update isn't a priority, yet.

OK, so the bug is in the Dictionary, which shows both as optional. The syntax given of send message [ [to object] [in time [seconds | ticks | milliseconds]] ] Makes either optional on it's own. It should be, send message [ to object [in time [seconds | ticks | milliseconds]] ] I read three times without finding in the text If you specify a time, you must also specify an object.

Re: the points of graphic
Hi Roger, Praying on my ego are you? I don't really think I am up to this challenge. I'm not quite sure what is needed. But here's a thought. It sounds like joining all these disparate parts together to form a whole might be helpful. After all, all graphics drawn with the pencil, line, curve... tools are just a bunch of joined line segments. If you have a bunch of such independent such groups, i'm guessing that putting them together might help form the single new polygon you speak of would be useful. This stack below show how to join any two graphic segments without changing their individual shapes. It uses the handler: JoinLines line1, line2 It preserves the length and angle of each. Repeated used of this command will put all your elements together. As in: repeat with i = 1 to N-1 joinLines line i , line i+1 end repeat Of course you will have to define the order in which they are to be joined. go url https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/47044230/Set%20angle%20and%20join%20lines.livecode; I think I posted a stack that makes uses of these Line Tools, some time ago.

I've seen a few bugs, too, but, wow, these new features will save me months of work. Coming from the Adobe-ruled Director universe, I have to say, Richmond, you don't know how good you have it with RunRev. I suppose I'm spoilt as RunRev's work until 6.0.0 has been 100% fantastic, and, post-6.0.0 has only been 95% fantastic. I am not sure how valuable comparing RunRev with Adobe is. Richmond. With Adobe, upgrades are *years apart* and always deliver disappointment by breaking existing features, introducing new complications and driving third-party developers out of the market. At least with RR you know another update isn't far off, the road map is not a secret, there is frequent communication with the developer community, and there's a solid commitment to the product and its community.
