Sound record not working on school macs
I have a school district having trouble getting the audio record feature in run rev to work. They are using the last current player to run software I have developed for students with disabilities. I will be meeting with the tech people this afternoon. They tell me the programs work fine in the admin mode but not their student mode. I have tried GarageBand and iMovie in the student mode and they both record audio fine. Any suggestions as to what to ask them or where to start debugging this? The software is atwww.billziegler.com. just say it is one of the programs that has trouble.

Sound record not working on school macs
Thanks Bob, That fixed the problem. We just have to figure how to prevent the school's system from setting the permissions to read-only when a student creates a new copy. The district is checking it out. bill ___ 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
on-rev database help
I'm not even sure if I'm asking the question correctly. I've made a simple time tracking database for my colleagues. Dates, fill-ins, drop downs etc. I'm not using any of the sophisticated Rev DB tools or SQL. I am just saving each collection of responses in separate fields. I also have a button that exports as a text file all info with records on separate lines, commas between items. Each teacher keeps their own stack on their laptop. When our supervisor needs to do a report for the school districts, each of the 13 teacher/consultants will generate the data-text file and send it to her. She will then import each text file into excel to do her sorts and reports. Every time she needs to do an update, she'll need to ask us to send our latest data and create a new excel to keep the data correct. I do have an on-rev server account. I did attend and have the dvds for rev-live Las Vegas. I do own the DVDs from the On-Rev Edinburgh conference, but haven't had time to watch them yet. I know RunRev/Live Code fairly well. I do not know SQL. Questions 1. Can I put my existing stack on my on-rev server account for multiple people to use at one time? 2. Can I put my existing stack on our school server for multiple people to use at one time? 3. Am i up-that-creek for not knowing SQL? 4. If (I) and (2) are possible with or without SQL what's my best option to learn how to do whatever I'll need to do.

rev stacks on the iPad
I have tried to follow all the threads on revMobile and running rev apps on the iPad. My question may have already been answered but I missed it. I am an assistive technology consultant in Pennsylvania and use runRev stacks to support students with disabilities. Apple's locking out revMobile is frustrating and disheartening. The iPad has a unique cool factor with students who would otherwise shun a device for fear of looking different. It could provide, when paired with runRev, a portable/ programmable environment allowing teachers to adapt curriculum on the fly while the student is seated among their peers. My question is this; Is it possible to tether the iPad to a Mac or PC, using Bluetooth or Wifi (not Internet), located in the same room. Essentially the iPad would act as a touch interface AND display for the host computer, respond with little delay and channel any audio through the iPad. I don't have experience with ipad remote apps but have read that the logmein app doesn't transmit audio to the iPad.

Re rev stacks on the ipad
Sorry gang, I should have written wirelessly though Bluetooth or wifi directly to a classroom computer, not over the Internet.

Help with save as or new using standalones
I've created some programs for students with disabilities. At first I circulated them with the the Mac and Pc players. It was easy to script a 'New' that copied the stack and cleared all text and audioClips. The 'Save as' made a copied of the stack. Both renamed the new stack. Schools with pc's need them to run from the startup menu since the students can't drag them onto the player. I made them standalones but now I don't know the proper way or logic or even an intelligent way to ask the question of duplicating them. The Mac version is in a package, the pc is in a folder with an externals folder, the slpashstack and the real stack. I need to keep the audio in the stacks to make it easier for students to transport their work from home to school and back. Would I use the copyFolder command and save it to the same level/ folder as the original? I have them on my On-Rev Server website at www.billziegler.com . The two I'm having trouble with, when turned into standalones, are the ReportCards MacPC and Just Say It. I couldn't find anything in the archives. If there is an old post or a tutorial in detail I could start with that.

Re: Trapping the Option or Command keys
Thanks to all for your advice. I was going to check the state of the keys with an On-Idle script but will try Sarah's suggestion instead.

Trapping the Option or Command keys
I'm re-writing a hypercard stack in which buttons performed different functions if the OptionKey or CommandKey were down. I need the title and icon to change on all the buttons when either modifier key is down. Looking back in the archives it seems like it was a problem only on Macs. Is there a command now that will let me do this? The simplified interface I'm trying to re-create will allow a button that is bordering a text field to either read the contents of bordering text field with text-to-speech, record the student's voice or play back the recorded voice.

Re:Help with PC memory error
Thanks Joe, I am running xp under bootcamp. I get the error when I quit the player running the stack, however I do have a lot of lines in my 'On CloseStack' script. I'm just not familiar enough with xp and and RunRev to know what's causing the problem. Bill Hi Bill, So you're running WindowsXP under Bootcamp? I don't understand exactly what you're doing, and how. More details, please. Joe Wilkins On Jan 24, 2009, at 7:19 PM, William Ziegler wrote: I'm a Mac guy testing out my Runrev stacks on Bootcamp. I get an error ever time I quit the stack using the PC Player 3.0. The error is The Instruction at 0x017f1463 referenced memory at 0x025b1f50. The memory could not be read. Click on OK to terminate the program. So is this a Bootcamp problem, a ram memory module problem or a Revolution Player problem? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. b ___ 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: Help!
I never wrote that line. It just started popping up. I get this error every time I open a Run Rev program. Even a new one. I don't know what script to go to for a fix? Bill Lineset the height of scrollbar Scrollbar of me to the height of me - 14 Hint-8 Is this right in Rev? Isn't the syntax set the height of object to value? The extra of me seems odd. You say this used to work?

I still get this error and sometime a background error. Bill, Just so we're clear: The line referenced is not from a handler you wrote? And this happens every time you try to edit any script in any stack? Are you using any plugins? See your Documents folder (OS X) or your My Documents folder (Win) and look for a folder called My Revolution Media. Inside that there may be a plugins folder. If there is anything inside that, pull it out and relaunch Rev Media. Devin Thanks Devin Just so we're clear: The line referenced is not from a handler you wrote? Correct. I did resize the stack script window a few times using the lower right handle before all the problems. And this happens every time you try to edit any script in any stack? Yes, 2 month old programs that worked fine and brand new programs won't edit. I trashed two stacks in my documents folder on the user level but they were just rev demos. The only way I found to script again in RunRev was to download a new Studio version. Trashing the old Media version and downloading/installing a new Media still gave me the error. It's like in the old days if the HOME stack was corrupted in hypercard up the chain, but why then doesn't a fresh copy work?

If so, try changing the handler name. It may be that you are inadvertently triggering the script editor handler by mistake. Jacqueline Landman Gay have any handlers in your own scripts called resize? Nope, not even a variable named resize. Only a problem with resizing/ re-drawing the stack script window. Inorder to view the scroll bars on the scripting window I had to move it and select the green reset button on the titlebar. I thought it might be a rev script on a higher level. My question is why a new download after deleting the entire Rev Media folder still gives me trouble. Are there any scripts stored in libraries?

answer file with more than one image type
Thanks! It works! And to think I spent 3 hours checking the docs and experimenting. One more question. After I import an image and resize it down to be a button icon, does RunRev purge all the extra image data from the original and give the now imbedded picture a smaller size?

Mouse down click captured with record sounds
I realize this may be a problem only with Powerbooks but I always get the click of my trackPad recorded at the very end. I am stopping the record with a mouseDown script on a 17 original PowerBook G4. Is there a way I can use a script to edit out the last .5 or . 4 seconds of an audio clip or always have the user use a USB Mic when recording on laptops?
