Re: A problem with clearing fields on marked cards
On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 12:05 AM, dunb...@aol.com wrote: But you can distinguish these fields easily. Why not set a custom property in all your fields called isLabel? Set that property of all the label fields to true, and all other fields to false. There may not be a need to set a custom property, for instance their are several inbuilt properties that are false for text fields and true for label fields; sharedText and lockText for instance. traversalOn goes the other way. So why create another property when you could test for those. Of course you could still set up fields as label fields but aren't actually labels to a field, maybe a copy right banner at the bottom of a stack, so the above wouldn't be foolproof but may suffice in your circumstance. If not, there are other ways to skin this cat. I've gotten into the habit of prefixing the name of all true label fields with 'lbl', this has other benefits as well; when you access the property inspector all the label fields are grouped together - great if you have 100 fields + accompanying label fields. Finally, and best of all, your text entry fields should all be 'layered' consecutively (Size Position pane of the Property Inspector), this makes traversal work better. I do the same with label fields. Then to do any group entry, validation or clearing it's simply a mater of: --because you've layered the fields consecutively --faster because you are not testing if it's a label field repeat with x = 1 to 88 -- text entry field put empty into field x --more stuff here if necessary end repeat repeat with x = 100 to 187 -- label fields set the textColor of field x to red --more stuff here if necessary end repeat Of course if you do the layering correctly, and you want to work with field/label pairs, knowing the offset where one ends and the other starts makes it easy to do this: repeat with x = 1 to 88 -- text entry field put empty into field x --paired label is offset by 99 set the textColor of field (x + 99) to red end repeat Using fixed numbers isn't going to work if you have a different number of fields on each card, so that's where custom properties are so useful; easy to have cEditableFields = 88 repeat with tCardNo = 1 to the number of marked cards put the cEditableFields of marked card tCardNo into y repeat with x = 1 to y put empty into field x of marked card tCardNo --more stuff here if necessary end repeat end repeat HTH ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: A problem with clearing fields on marked cards
The properties mentioned are not intrinsic to label fields, they are just defaults at creation, and may be common to other fields. Certainly sharedText and lockText could be. All the other suggestions are valid as far as they go, naming, numbering, layering, etc., but these may not be convenient, or constant, and may be tedious to manage down the road. In other words, they may not go very far. Naming them with a unique beginning string is pretty robust, I guess; I've done that. But I still think that creating a custom property is the cleanest way. It isn't so onerous, after all.

Not reassuring! Though, it's not clear to me if the key is the domain name or the actual server : if I open a site with domainNameY.com and the site is actually hosted on host.com, what will be the local storage named? What I understood is : host.com will be the primary key for all local storage.

Actually, I believe the following (from the provided link) is what is being referred to: 7.2 Cross-directory attacks Different authors sharing one host name, for example users hosting content on geocities.com, all share one local storage object. There is no feature to restrict the access by pathname. Authors on shared hosts are therefore recommended to avoid using these features, as it would be trivial for other authors to read the data and overwrite it. Even if a path-restriction feature was made available, the usual DOM scripting security model would make it trivial to bypass this protection and access the data from any path.

Resizable grid of thumbnails
One of my many faults is a lack of intense math skills. So when I hit the math *wall* I ask for help or samples... In this case, I'm looking for a sample stack that can show 20+ thumbnails and be resizable. As the stack is scaled up (wider) the top row of thumbnails increases thus reducing the overall number of rows which displays the thumbnails. Ironically, in HTML I only have to assign the style float: left; to each thumbnail to achieve this. Is there something similar or does it require gobs of math to calculate the loc of all thumbnails?

Stacks with transparent background
Before I dive in with masks, multiple stacks and the like - any advice on how to achieve a stack with opaque controls and a transparent background. It seems that due to the nature of the inheritance using the blendlevel to make the stack window transparent means that all of its controls will be at least as transparent - so you cant have an opaque control and a transparent card background / window. Maybe there is a nice trick here with inks?

Yes indeed, Mike, i understand jerry's answer as far as server side accounts are concerned. I was just pointing out that in the context of html5 local storage, if and when a web app uses that storage, then there are issues of security. I'm working on an eDemocracy site app. i'll try hard to make it as secure as possible in order not to allow anybody to gather information about what somebody else think. What troubles me is at the same time to see a big move towards mobile advertisement AND the launching of HTML5 local storage which unlike cookies (which have caused trouble in the minds!) can have persistent datas, and much more datas. So I beleive it could be a good thing to be very clear on this data policy with users, for a change! Actually I do have a question on this HTML5 specifs : how can the user monitor datas? Has he got the right to go and inspect? or is it context dependant, e.i only a javascript program imbedded in a page of the said domain could get to the datas?

Re: Repeat until the MouseClick to stop 'flashing' button?
William- Tuesday, June 8, 2010, 1:14:16 PM, you wrote: @ Mark: easier to read now? Hi there, I have a flashing button 1 with this script: on mouseUp set the backgroundcolor of grc dummy to pink repeat hide me wait 25 ticks show me wait 25 ticks end repeat end mouseUp The idea is that while button 1 is flashing I want to click at button 2 so button 1 stops flashing and executes its own script: on mouseUp set the backgroundcolor of me to the backgroundcolor of grc dummy end mouseUp I try adding 'repeat until the MouseClick' in button 1 but that only stops the flashing (what I want) but doesn't execute the script in button 2. To run the script on button 2 I have to click on button 2 again. So I have to click twice and that is not what I want :-(. Is this possible? Anyone has any other idea's on how to do this? Yep - that's much better. Lots of ways to do this.

Re: WWDC Keynote: HTML5 wide open for On-Rev revServer
Robert, These are excellent issues and questions. We have a very robust discussion area for thoughts and comments from everyone. We also have monthly online (GoToMeeting) summits for pre-release registrants where we review all relevant technological issues...from syntax and language to architecture and scope. We want a healthy exchange of ideas while we build. It's our goal to have the highest performance, most secure solutions money can buy. We really want our hosting to be A-1. We have chosen a premium provider and review performance and configurations frequently. I have a good background in server-side architecture, security and performance. When I do run into my own ignorance, I know what to ask and whom to ask. Also, Sarah and MJ are very knowledgeable, and they ARE both mothers. They are endowed with great reserves of common sense and good judgement. HOWEVER... We are now in a gray area as far as discussion here on the How to Use Revolution list goes. I'm between a rock and a hard place. I don't want to appear unresponsive to your and other questions, but I also don't want to wear out my welcome here. I try to give quick answers and then redirect to our discussion group. So follow our discussion area and participate. It's free. Or better yet, actually get involved. Buy into the project and help guide it as we go one step at a time. We are going to listen most closely to the people we are committing to us and our project early-on. There aren't many opportunities to grow a new dev environment for a new class of device. This is a huge technical opportunity for everyone involved. Especially for Sarah, MJ and me. We want to share it with others, and we want it to be financially rewarding for the first 250 people involved (253 counting the three of us).

This is obviously the case when compared with the FTP, HTTP, and BIND servers that are running on the majority of Internet hosts out there, all of which have multiple security holes like this, one of the buffer-overrun bugs in BIND (the DNS server) being the single most commonly exploited security hole in any server software. ... I certainly wouldn't rule out building or using MetaCard server software, even for protocols for which well-known (if buggy) open source software is widely available. While I don't see any big advantage to writing an FTP server in MetaCard, an HTTP server that executes CGI scripts is a different matter entirely and an area where a MetaCard server could be safer and feature-competitive with any of the alternatives. ... ...the ubiquity of buffer-overrun bugs in open source software rises to the level of criminal negligence. There is just no excuse for this kind of sloppy programming, yet not a week goes by that yet another example of this kind of thing isn't found in one of the commonly used open-source packages. I wouldn't blindly trust Microsoft software either, but at least the majority of the security holes in their products were put there deliberately to improve the usability of the products rather than as the result of poor security hygiene on the part of the developer.

Re: WWDC Keynote: HTML5 wide open for On-Rev revServer
Walt, You're mixing things. On-Rev which is just a service provider for RevServer does not deal with the presentatation (HTML, CSS, JS) part of web applications, this is left to the programmer. RevServer is a server side engine not unlike php. It doesn't do the presentation layer but the back end layer behind that. As far as I know, Safari Mobile already supports multitouch. Developers seldon make use of it though. I think that Safari sends touch events for the different fingers.

Re: Stacks with transparent background
Recently, David Bovill wrote: Before I dive in with masks, multiple stacks and the like - any advice on how to achieve a stack with opaque controls and a transparent background. It seems that due to the nature of the inheritance using the blendlevel to make the stack window transparent means that all of its controls will be at least as transparent - so you cant have an opaque control and a transparent card background / window. Maybe there is a nice trick here with inks? The only thing I can think of is scripting something to create a mask or use multiple stacks. The short answer is, you must create a custom bitmap to mask the window, and each control must have its own opaque region in the mask to make them non-translucent. Setting the blendLevel of the stack will not work, nor will the use of any ink effects. The long answer is in this thread (a couple of demo stacks are referenced): http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Vector-window-shapes-and-the -great-mystery-of-ink-effects-td340450.html#a340453 Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX Design ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

iTunes style titlebar
Is it possible to *assign* a style that mimics the thickness of the iTunes.app? The CODA application has the same thickness (~120px high). I couldn't do it so I figured I'd just trap the mouse position and drag the window when the user clicks on the space just below the titlebar (in order to simulate a thicker titlebar). It works great, but the bugger drags the whole app right off the top of the screen. Mac OS apps don't allow the titlebar to be dragged under the OS menu and now I have a few options: 1) Does RunRev support a thinker title bar that we can mount icons onto etc. (like CODA, iTunes...) 2) Properly detect the top of the stack and exit script before user drags stack under OS X system menu bar (tried, doesn't work) I'd be happy with any solution where the *feel* of OS X integrity is upheld. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: A problem with clearing fields on marked cards
Craig, Agreed, which is why I pointed out that some methods were not foolproof. My main aim was to point out that there were alternative ways to skin the cat. Depending on your needs one will probably be better than another. I guess clean is in the eye of the beholder. And as for onerous, I've generally discovered that taking the easy option at the beginning ALWAYS comes and bites me down the road; typically in speed. Personally, going to the trouble of layering all input fields together at the beginning so I can do: repeat with x = 1 to 100 put empty into field x end repeat appears cleaner to me than: repeat with x = 1 to the number of fields if the cIsLabel of field x = false then put empty into field x end if end repeat Also, logical it must take longer to execute as there will be at least twice as many iterations of the repeat cycle, but lets not use logic, lets check the numbers:-) The below results are from a card with 100 normal fields (to be cleared, cIsLabel = false, lockText = false), + 10 normal fields whose lockText is true (not to be cleared, cIsLabel = true, lockText = true) and 100 label fields (not to be cleared, cIsLabel = true, lockText = true). The result are for 1000 repeats of clearing the 100 normal fields only: Layer: Min = 1ms, Max = 2ms, Avg = 1ms for 100 iterations. cLabel: Min = 5ms, Max = 6ms, Avg = 5ms for 210 iterations. lockText: Min = 2ms, Max = 4ms, Avg = 3ms for 210 iterations. Content: Min = 3ms, Max = 4ms, Avg = 3ms for 210 iterations. Note the results are significantly slower if you don't 'lock screen'! Most of this Richard has told us before; Fastest - layer the objects so you can use repeat with the exact number of objects. Fast - if you must step through every object, if possible use an inbuilt property to perform the validity test. Slow - custom properties are slower than in built properties. Slowest - We all know accessing the content of a field is slow, but I'm surprised at how quick it can be, but I also discovered the results can be hugely effected by the size of the content and the type of test performed to determine if it needs to be cleared or not - I used what appeared to be the fasted, not much content and a simple = test. HTH On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 9:38 PM, dunb...@aol.com wrote: The properties mentioned are not intrinsic to label fields, they are just defaults at creation, and may be common to other fields. Certainly sharedText and lockText could be. All the other suggestions are valid as far as they go, naming, numbering, layering, etc., but these may not be convenient, or constant, and may be tedious to manage down the road. In other words, they may not go very far. Naming them with a unique beginning string is pretty robust, I guess; I've done that. But I still think that creating a custom property is the cleanest way. It isn't so onerous, after all.
