Re: blendlevel of stack/window
Hi Peter, In my doc (dictionnary), I read : Le 7 déc. 07 à 23:46, Peter Brigham a écrit : I'm experimenting with blendlevels, with some success, but it's trial and error, like everything. The docs say that a blendlevel of 0 is transparent, 100 is opaque, Here, in the docs of Rev 2.8.1 (Enterprise) it is : Value: The blendLevel of an object is an integer between zero and 100. By default, the blendLevel property of newly created objects is set to 0. Comments: If an object's blendLevel is zero, the object is fully opaque. If the blendLevel is 100, the object is fully transparent. Values between zero and 100 indicate levels of partial translucency. and this is true for images and other objects (nifty effects!), but for stacks it's the opposite -- when I set the blendlevel of a stack to 100 it's transparent, and 0 is opaque. I'm fading a splash stack into view with a repeat loop in an openstack handler on card 1, and I have to go back down from 100 rather than up from 0 as I expected for a fade-in. This seems like a bug, no? Mac iBook G4, OSX 10.4.1, Studio 2.8.1 build 471. The following handler (in the script of the splash stack) works here : ON openStack set the blendlevel of stack "SpashStack" to "0" show stack "SpashStack" wait 2 sec REPEAT while the blendlevel of stack "SpashStack" < 100 set the blendlevel of stack "SpashStack" to (the blendlevel of stack "SpashStack" + 1) wait FOR 1 ticks END repeat open stack "mainStack" END openStack Best regards from Grenoble André ___ 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: Getting vScroll movement of a field scrollbar
Hello, Could be I am wrong (I don’t know what’s your aim with your buttons), but one solution could be to replace your buttons with images and use the imageSource of characters: - choose (if possible) a character that is impossible to appear in your field (e.g., $, €, £, %, …). - set the textStyle of this character to link - past an image in your stack and - set the imageSource of the char to the ID number of this image. If the field has its lockText property set to true, then the image is clickable. Then, in the field script, you can have a handler of the following type : ON mouseUp IF the textstyle of the clicktext is « link » THEN - - the handler of your current button END IF END mouseUp Just an idea, don’t know if that could help Best regards from Grenoble André Le 11 déc. 07 à 00:05, James Hurley a écrit : I have a field with button superimposed on the text.

Do you have a field of the same name on the stack you're starting from? If so, is it possible that this is "old data" left over in the field on StackTwo and that what's really happening is that it's putting the data into the StackOne's field and not touching StackTwo? If you're answer is "no", does it work if you are explicit: put thisText into line 1 of fld "thisField" of stack vStackTwo And if you get the same result, is it possible that it's something simple like the first line of text is scrolled out of sight? Believe it or not, you can set the scroll of a non-scrolling field and it will move the text as if it had a scrollbar. In that instance, you wouldn't be able to see what was scrolled out of sight, nor would you know it had done so. So I'd recommend manually going to stack vStackTwo, and setting the vScroll of the field you're putting the text into to 0. And if *that* doesn't work... after you run your code, use the message box to "put" the contents of the field that's on vStackTwo into the message box and compare to see if what you're seeing in the field on the card is the same as that put into the message box.

Hello, I am beginning to use "command suchName" instead of "on suchName". I used this new form in a small stack I am developping ; all worked well in Rev but not in Revolution Player. After a while, I only replaced "command" by "on" and all is OK now. This post just to inform those who could be in my case : Revolution Player does not accept "command" yet.

Is it possible to clone a stack and the user does not see anything ?
Hi, In a handler I am cloning a stack, say, « substackModel » Something like : -- lock screen clone stack "subStackModel" close stack "copy of subStackModel" -- to minimize the time it is visible set the name of stack "copy of subStackModel" to suchName set the mainStack of stack suchName to «thisMainStack » etc ... --- Despites the « lock screen » and the second line which close the new stack as soon as it has been created, the new created stack appears for a while. Is it possible to do that invisibly ? Any advice ?

Are any possible commands on data in a field also possible in a variable ?
Hi, I have a handler that transforms a table1 (that is placed in a variable) in another one, say table2 (that has to be placed in a field) My aim is to convey the data of table1 into table2, but displayed in another order. The handler that transforms table1 into table2 involves (mainly) 2 types of commands : - a number of « put such item of such line of table1 into such item of such line of table2 - and, a « find such item in table2 » (all that in several repeat loops). My handler works well when I use a field as a container for table2 when conveying data from table1 to table2. But it is quite time consuming. So, in order to gain millisecs (in fact seconds !), I tried to work with a variable as a container in which to install the data coming from table1 before to, at the end, put this variable into the field (that should be the final product of the handler). In my handler, I only replace « fld « thisfld » with a variable « thisVar » ; nothing else. But when I do so, my handler does not works properly. I hope I am not too unclear ! ? My question is : are there commands that work on data in a field but not on data in a variable ? Specifically, does « find » works in a variable as well as in a field ?

Re: fields disappearing when grabing them
Quick guess: Are these fields part of a group, that group is "lockloc"ked and the group is smaller (height/width) I'd bet this is the problem, except the situation is worse than that. In my experience, when you're dragging objects in a group, the dragged object goes out of sight when you drag outside of the group's boundaries, *even if its lockLoc is false*. The only workaround I've found is to make the group the size of the card and set its lockLoc to true. I don't know if this behavior is a bug or a feature. Devin OK ! fine, that's working : I increased the size of the group as much as I needed (I dont need all the card size) and set its lockLoc to true, (that''s what I did not think to do when I tried before to increase the size of the group : I thought that a group was taking the size of the bigger object in it, but it is not the case).

So your fid would be there on the second card. just one first idea Best regards from Grenoble André Le 18 déc. 06 à 16:09, Henk van der Velden a écrit : Good day all, Here is a link to a stack that creates a new stack, creates an extra card in that stack and then copies a group of text fields into that new card. Something strange happens: the contents of an editable field are not copied. As you can see in this stack, all works OK if you don't create an extra card. But as soon as you create one, the copying fails. Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

Re: how to transfer icon from "metaCard comptatible icons" to "this stack"
Bonjour Éric,
Magnifique !
My knowledge of Rev is still too much about the surface layers.
Appears to be a lot of nice ressources deeply ("sous les pavés, la
plage")
Thank you very much for your always efficient and effective assistance.
Best regards from Grenoble

Bonjour André,

I got another problem with my table fields : I am trying to master
the table limits in them. I set xLimit (2) and yLimit (10) and
tried to use the rawKeyDown handler from your tutorial.
Seems it does not work for me : I mean, the conditon is in the target> seems to be not true in my table field ;
Can't happen if there is no cell currently in editing mode.
At the top of your rawKeyDown handler, just add "put the target" to
check this.
If I state after it, "beep 4" : beep does not occur ;
If I state , nothing appears in
the message box.
Anyway, you should get true or false in the message box:
Seems that the rawKeyDown message is not sent?
Where is the focus?
Where is your rawKeyDown handler placed ?
Difficult to tell you more without details...
Bonjour Éric,
The rawKeyDown handler was in the field'script; now, I put it in
the card' script and all is working well :-))
I must confess that I don't understand precisely why it does not work
if it is in the fld'script.
Thanks a lot for your help.
The only issue that is holding with these table fields is that their
hight and width must be widely larger than it would be necessary
given the fixed number of columns and rows; otherwise the fixed
limits are not respected !?!
But this clearly does not come from scripting ; seems it'is inherent
to the current ("rough draft") state of the table field!
By the way, what do you mean when you differentiate between "private
handler" and "public handler", in your tutorial?
Have a nice day

Re: location of open drawer
On a card I had a button that (among other things) opened a drawered stack (drawer stack "suchStack" at right). Then I could move the parent stack, the drawer was following as expected. But, when I close the parent stack, the drawer was closed too ; Now, when I open the parent stack again, the drawer was also opened but, this time, it was not dependant of the parent stack any more. So to fix this, now when I close the parent stack, I close the drawer too (in the on closeStack handler, in the parent stack script). Then, when I open the parent stack, it is opened without the drawer. My button open it when needed. If it was necessary as soon as the parent stack is opened, then I would «drawer stack « suchStack » in the " open stack" handler of the parent stack.

On the card of another substack named « theTools » I have a pop Up button (say « PossibleDurations ») with a list of menu items such as « one day »,… « three days »,…, « one week », …, « three weeks »,…, « one month », …, « three months »,… In the first substack, the script of the field « duration » is : on mouseUp global gTheTarget, --- put the long name of me into gTheTarget open stack "theTools" end mouseUp In the substack « theTools », the script of the button « possibleDurations » is : on menuPick theItem global gtheTarget, put theItem – in msg put cr & gLaCible after msg put theItem into gTheTarget end menuPick In the message box, theItem and gLaCible are right But the line « put theItem into gTheTarget » does works ; nothing happens, no error message. Now I have spent a couple of hours trying to find why, I am completely lost :-(( Could somebody tell me what I am doing wrong ? Thanks a lot for any help Best regards from Grenoble André___ 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'm pretty sure that for multiple choice situations, a switch structure seems more efficient (ie. faster) than an equivalent multi-way if-then-else structure. I'd be interested to see if you get similar results to mine if you paste the following into a button: on mouseUp repeat 10 put random(6) & cr after rList end repeat put the millisecs into st repeat for each line L in rList if L = 1 then get 1 else if L = 2 then get 2 else if L = 3 then get 3 else if L = 4 then get 4 else if L = 5 then get 5 else if L = 6 then get 6 end if --switch L --case 1 -- get 1 -- break --case 2 -- get 2 -- break --case 3 -- get 3 -- break --case 4 -- get 4 -- break --case 5 -- get 5 -- break --case 6 -- get 6 -- break --end switch end repeat put the millisecs - st end mouseUp When I do this, (Mac 1.5Mhz G4 laptop), the if-then-else version takes 180-ish milliseconds, whereas the switch-case version takes 70-ish ms.

Re: Link text style -- bug or feature ?
Hi, As far as I am concerned, I have fields whose textStyle is set to link, but I am using the mouseUp however. The reason why I am using the link textStyle for some fields is that I think the user understand immediately that the lines are clickable. Up to now, I did not notice that there was a linkClicked message :-))). Always learning; thanks ! So one can have : - some fields whose the textStyle is set to link and use either "linkclicked" or mouseUp message - and of course, other fields where only certain groups of chars are set to link and then use "linkclicked" message (well, now I will use it :-)) Best regards from Grenoble André Le 3 nov. 06 à 00:34, Mark Schonewille a écrit : Hi, First of all, I wonder why one would set the textStyle of an entire field to link? I would handle the mouseUp message instead. This may be my own personal view, but it is easier because you can modify a smaller amount of properties to make it work, it also gives you more freedom to alter something afterwards. The docs say about linkClicked: "Sent when the user clicks grouped text." If you set the style of a field to "bold" and enter text, the text looks bold, but it isn't. If you request for its style by entering "put the textStyle of char 1 of fld 1" in the message box, you should get an empty value returned. When you click on a text, Revolution doesn't check the textStyle of the field but the textStyle of the text. Since the textStyle is empty, the linkClicked message is not sent. I understand that everybody who doesn't agree will say it is far- fetched, but I think this is a valid explantion and thus I doubt this is a bug. Then again, I probably wouldn't mind if this behaviour were changed, because I won't set the textStyle of a field to link anyway.

Download at http://www.salery.biz ---Original Message--- From: Timothy Miller Date: 11/02/06 21:42:05 To: How to use Revolution Subject: Link text style -- bug or feature ? This arises from a question I asked on the forum, then solved on my own, by trial and error. If I set the textstyle of a field to "link," by script or manually, text entered into that field looks like a link. It's blue and underlined. However, it doesn't act like a link. When clicked it sends a mouseUp, not a linkClicked. If I select the text, the "text" menu has a checkmark by "Plain," not by "Link" Maybe it's a bug. If not, I don't understand the point of being able to set the textstyle of a field to "link" and make the text look misleadingly like a link, if it's not a link. The field inspector is ambiguous in this regard. The button that sets the style to "link" is marked with a "G" presumably for group. The tool tip says "Link text" That's ambiguous, too. Does it mean "set the style of text in this field to 'link'"? or does it mean "Link the text in this field"? Maybe linking in this way affects the mousechunk function, and is intended for use with a mouseUp, not with a linkClicked. I haven't investigated that possibility yet. The user dictionary doesn't really settle the matter either. As things stand, it seems that "link" is a textStyle in one context -- if you select text and set the style of the text to link, but not in another -- if you set the textstyle of the field to "link" I alread BZ'd this. I probably should'a asked here first. Comments welcome.

Re: Focus and Text Fields
Hello Richmond,
My answer was not delivered (due to the incident on this list, I
suppose) so I send it again
Le 6 oct. 06 à 09:45, Richmond Mathewson a écrit :
I have the following script in a Card:
on openCard
put "We" into fld "F1"
focus on fld "F1"
end openCard
now what this does is:
it puts "We" into the field "F1"
and then
puts the cursor BEFORE "We" in the field "F1"
(nothing terribly remarkable there!)
HOWEVER,
I would like it so that when the FOCUS is set to field
"F1" the
cursor is set after the letters "We"
Hello,
What about "select after fld "F1" ?
on openCard
put "We" into fld "F1"
-- focus on fld "F1" -- redondant in fact because "select after fld
"F1" is focusing on fld "F1"
select after fld "F1"
end openCard
AND - - -
directions for how to put a cursor anywhere in a
string inside a field:
e.g. Between "I" and "a drink"
in "I a drink"
get offset("I", fld "F1")
select after char it of fld "F1"
or
find "I" in fld "F1"
select after the foundText
find empty
hope that helps
Best regards from Grenoble

Of course this question has a general application.

Re: Help with table fields and cell editing
Hello ! I am interested in using table fields but I tried twice spending hours to find how to use them and twice I gave up ! I think I wanted too much, given the poor current state of this type of fields. But I never observe what you describe So I just tried to replicate what you are going through. On a Mac Pro Intel OS X 10.4.8 and Runrev 2.7.4 (build 291). Le 4 oct. 06 à 18:29, Walton Sumner a écrit : Help! I have a Rev 2.7.4 (build 291) PC interface for database editing that is in great shape except for one feature, directly editing a list of points. It seems to me that this should be a natural table field & cell editing task, but I can not see how to make it work. I have a group that contains a table field. The table field is not locked, the "Table object" setting is checked, the "cREVTable(celle" box is checked (cell editing), and the maximum editable column is set to 2. The tab stop is less than half the width of the field, after subtracting the width of the vertical scroll bar. Problems persist with or without a horizontal scroll bar. I created a new stack with this same settings The field has the following odd behaviors when it is populated with data: 1. A mouseup event within a cell temporarily erases the data in the cell rather than selecting the data in the cell, not here for me : the data are not erased , they are selected even if I drag over the cell contents and manage to select them before releasing the mouse. If the mouseup occurs outside of the cell, the contents of the cell remain selected. Yes I get the same, but is it a real problem ? Clicking in a cell also causes the erasing mouseup event. I don't see what you mean exactly here ? what's "the erasing mouseup event" ? These are incorrect behaviors, IMO - the end user should be able to click or drag in the cell and insert or change one or a few digits. I am able to click, drag, insert or change one or a few digits After clicking in a cell in the first column, clicking a different cell in the first column causes the first cell's contents to reappear (correct behavior) well, here it did not disappear 2. Clicking any cell in the second column erases the entire field's contents. The field does not recover when the cell is deselected. this does not happen here; the entire field's contents remain unaffected 3. Clicking any cell in the second column selects the cell, but scrolls the field horizontally so that the cell's left edge abuts the left edge of the field, displaying the out-of-bounds third column and totally obscuring the first column. does not happen here This is also incorrect behavior, IMO. The selected cell will accept new text, let's say "ABC", after turning off the keydown handler that screened for digits. 4. Tabbing from cell to cell has the same effect as clicking on a cell in the second column. here tabbing from cell to cell selects each cell successively, normally 5. After reloading the table contents from the database, clicking on any cell in the second column erases everything but restores the "ABC" that I entered in #3. I only populated the table manually ; so I can't say anything here So, I'm guessing that the table field is not updating its global descriptors correctly, as reported in the archives from 2003 and 2004, but I can't see that anyone else has these problems currently. In fact, there are messages that talk about letting Rev handle tabs and arrows and the like, as if my current problems are not reproducible at all. Also, I thought until now that Rev's field issues had been resolved. So is there some special combination of settings that makes the table work? I don't understand the difference between our respective results ? I had the same settings you described. One strange behaviour here : it is working when the table is set to "lock text" or "unlock text" as well ! Waiting for much better table fields, I am using adjacent fields that work as columns ; the script of the last one coordinates the behavior of the all including a handler on mouseWithin set the vScroll of fld "suchfld" to the vScroll of me. Best regards from Grenoble André Meanwhile, I'll be scripting a redundant interface to achieve point editing with tab keys and no mouseclicks. I can post to bugzilla if this the problem is not unique to me. Thanks in advance.

Re: RichText Implementation
I am following attentively your attempt to "simulate" a richtext field. I have a stack that presents a lot of texts (one text in one main field on each card). Often these texts include lists that normally should be indented (often with 2 levels). So I got the same problem as yours. After unsuccessful trials I gave up and currently all the lines of my texts are left aligned. For the (to be normally indented lists) I used special characters such as "*" and "-" (but left aligned). So that the presentation is not up to standard. So I am very much interested by any solution you could find. The main issue I encountered was the following : When a line had to wrap, I had to type a return and then a tab in order to get an indented paragraph. Then, when for one reason or another, the width of the field was reduced, even a little bit, or if I changed the style of the characters (font or size), I got a terrible mess ! It happened for example, when I was transferring the content of a field in another field that I use as a printing field. Hav'nt you got this kind of problem ? In your example, I suppose that you have a "return" after "You know you". So that if you reduce the width of your field, the word "you" will wrap, isolated and left aligned (without tab). Hope my "English-like English" is understandable enough :-)) Thanks a lot for your attempt to turn around this crucial shortcoming in Rev. I hope you will keep informing us about the problems you are encountering and your solutions. Best regards from Grenoble André Le 5 août 06 à 14:04, Jan Sælid a écrit : The scriptwriter needs to know if the user is editing dialogue, a character name, an action etc. the format of a script looks something like this: --- TRUMP You didn't call, Eliza. You know you won't get anything if you... He goes to the desk and snatches the... --- This format needs three different margins. One for the character name, one for the dialogue and one for the "action" part. One approach I'm thinking of is to use tabstops and have a rawkeyup handler in the field that checks what type of element the writer is editing and puts the cursor at the right tab if the writer e.g. pushes the downkey. The challenge with this method is that I have to store every element in the script in a custom property of the field with the number of tabs for each element. Maybe with a reference to the linenumber. e.g. "The line1 of fld "Script". Am I on the right track? Hope this is understandable. Any ideas are appreciated. In the long run it could be handy to make a library of functions that other revolution users could use.
