Re: MD5 digests of very big files
Hi Al, I guess the problem you see is that revs MD5s need to be binaryDecoded to have the same output like for example PHP. A simple script to see this is: on mouseUp local tCheck,tResult put md5Digest(moo) into tCheck get binaryDecode(H*,tCheck,tResult) put tCheckcrtResult -- tCheck is revs, tResult is compliant to PHP end mouseUp Hope that helps!

Pointlist from move command?
Hi there Is there a way to get a complete pointlist from all the points an object visiting through a move command on a polygon.

Re: Need Help with Geometry
Hi Ken, Thanks for responding. Yes (I think --- that's a whole lotta numbers you've got down there!), the top-left corner of the topmost field should remain fixed. As the stack window is enlarged, the topmost field should grow proportionately downwards and to the right. The field below should do the same, but because it is below, it's position must be shifted downwards to keep, as in your example, ten pixels between the fields, because the field above it is growing downwards.

I have two fields that are the exactly same size with one siting above the other and their left edges aligned. I'd like them to scale proportionately both width-wise and length-wise to the lower right, keeping the vertical distance between them constant. In other words, I want the two fields to get bigger or smaller together and keep the same distance apart. Thought it would be easy, but I've tried many different combinations of settings in the Geometry manager with no luck. Any advice would be most appreciated. So should the topLeft of the topmost field stay in the same place as you resize? Just trying to understand... For example, if you start with two fields that are 100 pixels wide by 50 pixels tall with 10 pixels between them, and 10 pixels from the right edge of the fields to the right side of the card, and 10 pixels from the bottom edge of the bottom field to the bottom of the card, and the starting height of the card is 500, and the starting width of the card was 400, that means that the topleft of the topmost field would be at (400-110),(500-(50+50+10+10)) or 290,380 and the topleft of the bottom field would be at (400-110),(500-(50+10)) or 290,440. If you then resize the stack to make it 100 pixels wider and 100 pixels taller, then that would leave the top field's topleft at 290,390, both fields would be 50 pixels taller (splitting the difference between the two of them and maintaining the 10 pixel gap), so the bottom field's topleft would be 290,(600-(100+10)) or 290,490... is that right?

Re: Location parameters in Size Inspector for stack
If a field isn't recognizing the closefield message I would call that a major bug, if the closefield message isn't being trapped and/or acted upon correctly in a field I would call that minor.

Re: snapshot and background problems
So when I do something like set the filename of image Image to filepath that data is 'the text of the image or just 'the image' which backs the image in its original format. When I ask for 'the imagedata of the image' I get four bytes for each pixel in the image: one byte of zeroes, a byte representing red, blue and green. There is also an alphadata which has a byte of alphadata for each pixel in the image. This data is a serialized stream which representing in sequence the data : left top pixel ... right top pixel, left pixel of the second row ... right pixel of second, left pixel of third row ... right bottom pixel. In a sense the imagedata has alphadata information set to zero (no transparency). How do I put the image in an image into a variable or property? Michael On Jun 28, 2010, at 1:53 PM, J. Landman Gay wrote: Scott Rossi wrote: I have no data to suggest that setting the text of an image is any better or worse than the method of putting image-related data into an image. I've only seen references by the programming dudes at RunRev to use the text property, so I do. They're different properties for different purposes. The imagedata is basically just a screen shot and if you set the imagedata of an image object, what you end up with is just a bitmap. All other binary info is lost, including channel data. If you set the imagedata of an image object that isn't exactly the same size as the original screen shot, the image will corrupt and become unrecognizable. The imagedata must match the size of the image object exactly to display properly. (Once it's set correctly, you can then scale it, but it will look terrible.) Setting the text of an image (or just putting an image reference into an image object, it's the same thing) stores all the binary data, including the alpha channel, and the image is scalable and can be manipulated in lots of ways. The size of the image object does not need to match anything in particular, since the engine will scale the data as needed. Imagedata is useful for creating thumbnails, for example, or for reducing the size footprint of an image in the stack when you know you'll never need to change the displayed bitmap. You can reduce the size of the image internally substantially by using imagedata. Setting the text of an image is more useful if you want to retain all the image properties and manipulate it (rotate, scale, etc.) -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ 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 ___ 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

I'd like to have fun on a cross-platform basis; and I'm sure
quite a few others would like to as well.
The most 'fun' would be had were this capability [to detect all possible
screen resolutions an end-user's monitor supports] and the ability to
change end--users' screen resolutions native to RunRev.
As my children seem to play endless games on Mac and Linux that do
reset the screen resolution (and put it back to its original one once the
games quits) I cannot belive it is unduly difficult.
Last time I raised this issue all sorts of people got hot under the collar
and said that it wasn't cricket to muck around with end-users' screen
resolutions; funny really when games do it all the time! Mind you, I have
yet to see a game of virtual cricket on a computer . . . :)

Drag Drop question
ok, something weird is happening and I'm lost... I have a list with some lines of text of which I want to drag from. Next I have a button on which I want to drop onto. I've created an invisible button, whose label is set to the line I selected, and becomes visible in the dragStart handler of the field. Script in field: on dragStart set the itemdel to tab set the label of btn DragData to item 2 of the hilitedText of me show btn DragData set the dragData[text] to the hilitedText of me pass dragStart end dragStart on dragEnd hide btn DragData end dragEnd on dragMove set the loc of btn DragData to the mouseLoc pass dragMove end dragMove And now the strange thing. Drag drop works fine, the button accepts the drop, but moving the text-lable-button is choppy and stops when I leave the field. So I moved the DragMove handler out of the field and moved it to the card script. Moving is really smooth now, the button follows the mouse very nice, but the drop doesn't work anymore... The button that should receive the dragData just doesn't react anymore. What am I missing? I'm on a Mac and using the latest version of RR (4.5.0-dp-3), but 4.0.0-gm-1 reacts the same. Any help is welcome!

Re: Drag Drop question
I think the button you're dragging along will get in the way of the drop. It's better to update the dragImage rather than try and move a 'shadow' button around the card; besides, it won't show once your drag goes outside the window. Add an image, set its name to DragImage and hide it. Then use the following code: ## on dragStart set the itemdel to tab set the label of btn DragData to \ item 2 of the hilitedText of me export snapshot from btn DragData \ to image DragImage as PNG set the dragImage to the short id of image DragImage set the dragData[text] to the hilitedText of me pass dragStart end dragStart ## You can always play around with the dragImageOffset to better align the dragImage with the cursor.

Re: Location parameters in Size Inspector for stack
Michael D Mays wrote: If a field isn't recognizing the closefield message I would call that a major bug, if the closefield message isn't being trapped and/or acted upon correctly in a field I would call that minor. (yes I am nit picking like my cousins ;) It looks to me like it just isn't handling it. It used to, if I remember right. Re reproduction: If I create a new stack, double click the stack to open the inspector, go to size and position; click the up arrow for the Max. Width, my stack disappears. The default value for maxWidth and maxHeight is the topmost limit of the allowable stack size. So if you click the up arrow, you're going to go off into the weeds; the size will be an abstraction. The fix would be to script the inspector not to accept larger values than the maximum. You could report that in the Quality Control Center if you feel like it. http://quality.runrev.com/ If I check the location width; height via the message box I find all of them are what is reported in the inspector except for the width which is 0. this time. I just 'reset' the stack's sizes and clicked that arrow again and the width was set to 1. If you are trying to set the maxWidth higher than the default, then that's out of range too. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ 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: Mac Standalone Bug
Bill Vlahos wrote: That doesn't fix it in 4.0. Odd, it's what I usually use. You could try setting the destroywindow to false too. I don't think you need to, but it's all I can think of. You saved the stack after resetting the destroystack, before building, right? Is the checkbox for destroystack NOT checked in the standalone settings? If that's checked, the SB will reset the property behind your back. The horrible, ugly workaround is to hide the stack on preOpenStack, set the height via script, and then show the stack.

Re: Mac Standalone Bug
Hi Bill, Set the destroyStack to false, toggle the destroyWindow property (just try both possibilities), save and close your stack. Re-open your stack and build your standalone immediately. This worked for me. Another solution might be to set the editMenus to true while hiding the menubar group. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer Subscribe to the Economy-x-Talk newsletter at http://qurl.tk/cj Download Clipboard Link http://clipboardlink.economy-x-talk.com and share the clipboard of your computer over the local network.

Re: RevCloud (was Re: Line Numbers in Text Editor)
RevCloud makes it easier to support multi-developer teams by providing a collection of tools tailored specifically for the sort of work we do in Rev. Even better, the tools in RevCloud are just the icing. Beneath them is a tasty layer cake of client and server libraries from which you can build all sorts of other tools to support your team. I could write more about this, and will soon, but to keep this list on topic I'll post those details in RevNet. This sounds really interesting Richard, and very much ON topic in my opinion.
