Re: Up and running!
Just one point: it seems to be slow in loop; I'm wondering if this is real compiling... I think that accessing libraries slows down the program. Am I Can you give an example of the type of loop you're using that is slow? In fact I just investigating before starting a real application. I just made the following. With low level langauges, this loop leads to a quicker display. on mouseUp set the text of field info to empty repeat with k = 32 to 129 if k = 65 or k= 97 then put linefeed linefeed after field info put numTochar(k) after field info put after field info end repeat end mouseUp ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Two questions
Geoff: Your suggestion seems to make a lot of sense, conceptually. One main thing I'm not clear on (I'm on a Mac). Unlike OMO, for example, when I set the stack height in Rev to something beyond the depth of the screen, I don't get a scroll bar in the card window...the window just extends down beyond the bottom of my screen. I see no function in Rev to change the window type to a zoom, for example. So how do I work with a card/stack deeper than screen depth? Thanks. Richard At 6:43 PM -0500 12/28/01, Richard D.

Update from Runtime Revolution
Hello, I hope you had a great Christmas! Best wishes for the New Year from everyone at Runtime Revolution. Network Issues -- As you may have noticed, the runrev.com server was inaccessible for a few days. We are back up now, I do apologize for any inconvenience. There was a problem with the domain name registration. Network Solutions appeared to expire the domain name even though it is fully paid up until 2003. The problem has now been resolved, but it did take them a long time to do this. I leave you to draw your own conclusions about using Network Solutions for domain name services. Beta test of 1.1.1 released! Revolution 1.1.1B1 is available to test now. You may access it using: http://www.runrev.com/revolution/engines11/beta111/ We have built Mac OS, Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, and all other platforms are available by downloading the appropriate engine from the engines11 directory. This is primarily a bug fix release, please do take a moment to glance at the notes at the start of the read me file before using it. Stability should be improved and everything reported up until a couple of weeks back should be fixed. Beta two will catch up on those items not yet fixed in beta 1. HyperCard Conversion Tutorial - There is a new tutorial on converting HyperCard stacks to Revolution available at: http://www.hyperactivesw.com/mctutorial/rrtutorialtoc.html Many thanks to Jacqueline for working hard to bring this to you (she finished it before Christmas!). At MacWorld --- Runtime will be at MacWorld in January. Please drop by our stand! If you want to meet a member of the team to discuss anything in more detail then please bring your laptop and drop us a note as soon as possible so we can arrange a time. I hope to see lots of you there. Special Offer Extended -- Because of the high level of interest we are extending the 80% discount for HyperCard and SuperCard users until the 16th of January. Terms and conditions are available from: http://www.runrev.com/revolution/info/specialoffer/index.html Kind regards, Kevin Kevin Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.runrev.com/ Runtime Revolution Limited - Power to the Developer!

But you can hear clearly the 2 beep: the loop takes some time to run... on mouseUp set the text of field info to empty beep repeat with k = 32 to 129 if k = 65 or k= 97 then put linefeed linefeed after varS put numTochar(k)after varS end repeat beep set the text of field info to varS end mouseUp The beeps are not a good indicator of how long something takes. Here's a better way to test (note the use of the ticks() function): on mouseUp set the text of field info to empty put ticks() into tStart repeat with k = 32 to 129 if k = 65 or k= 97 then put linefeed linefeed after varS put numTochar(k)after varS end repeat put varS into field info put ticks() - tStart end mouseUp Note that it only updates the field at the end, but that the field update _is_ included in the timing. This takes from 0 to 1 ticks (1/60th of a second) on my computer. The ticks are displayed after it runs in the message box. The script below takes about 25 ticks -- note that I'm not including updating the field, but I am doing the variable creation 1000 times: on mouseUp set the text of field info to empty put ticks() into tStart repeat 1000 times put empty into varS repeat with k = 32 to 129 if k = 65 or k= 97 then put linefeed linefeed after varS put numTochar(k)after varS end repeat end repeat put ticks() - tStart put varS into field info end mouseUp Finally, if you really need the speed (not that there aren't faster ways that subvert the nature of the test) you can unroll the repeat structure from the if statements. The following performs the same work, but gets it done (1000 times) in 15 ticks: on mouseUp set the text of field info to empty put empty put ticks() into tStart repeat 1000 times put empty into tVarS repeat with k = 32 to 64 put numToChar(k)after tVarS end repeat put cr cr after tVarS repeat with k = 66 to 98 put numToChar(k)after tVarS end repeat put cr cr after tVarS repeat with k = 99 to 129 put numToChar(k)after tVarS end repeat end repeat put ticks() - tStart put tVarS into field info end mouseUp regards, Geoff ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: message box vanishes
André, That could be due to the message box having been moved outside of the visible screen area. I've done that myself sometimes with Rev and with other apps. Perhaps you can try scripting a test stack to make the message box appear at specified coordinates to where you could then drag it to a preferred spot. As a last resort, you could reinstall Rev.

create command jumps from run to edit mode
If I'm developing a stack in Rev, issuing the create command makes Rev jump from run to edit mode. For example, I have a button with script on mouseup create field test end mouseup I click on the hand, I click on the button, and now the pointer is the active tool.

[INFO] SMTP Client Socket v1.2 POP3 Client Socket v1.0
I have released an update to my SMTP Client Socket. New features and updates: - added a new socket pointer parameter to allow for mutliple socket access with the one code - changed the smtpClient_data function into four functions to allow for sending message in chunks (also streams files from raw data into Base64 format for email use) - a few other minor changes Also released is a new POP3 Client Socket which will communicate with a POP3 server to retrieve and manage stored messages in the maildrop. No decoding of the messages are handled by these scripts. You may find these on the RunRev website (in a day or two), or at my personal page. I'm looking for someone who uses RunRev/MC on a Mac who would be interested in testing code to ensure compatibility before releases. Also, if you're interested in being kept up-to-date on releases, just send me an email and I'll let you know (as feel free to write if you need a hand with the either, or both, of the scripts) -- Shao Sean http://dark.unitz.ca/~shaosean/ ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
