You have a couple of choices. The easiest is to just turn off auto-hilite and substitute your own handlers. On mousedown, hilite the button, on mouseUp and mouseRelease, unhilite it. The second way is to use a local script variable to store the selectedchunk.

Re: revBrowserSet, search a second string
Hi Terry, thanks for taking a look! I had no luck with handing the focus to another control here on Win XP. Didn't cured the problem here. But i have done some more tests: (revBrowser alread open in a substack) - revBrowserSet sBrowserId, selected, Mike works - revBrowserSet sBrowserId, selected, John works too :-) - focus on main stack - focus back on substack with revBrowser - revBrowserSet sBrowserId, selected, Mike doesn't work anymore :-/ - revBrowserSet sBrowserId, selected, John doesn't work anymore :-( So it looks like (at least here on Win XP), *loosing* the focus is somewhat related to the problem. Can anyone shine a light on his? Regards, Claus. Am 10.02.10 23:04, schrieb Terry Judd: Claus - This looks like a bug (at least on OSX). As you point out the docs say that setting the selectedtext to empty or a string that does not occur in the text should 'reset' the selection - but doesn't. Certainly worth reporting. In the meantime it looks like you can work around it by handing the focus to another control. This should remove the current selection in the browser text and let you 'search' again. I just tried with with the browser example stack and doing the following... focus on btn browser on -- (button that toggle the browser on and off) ... Before changing the search string had the desired effect. HTH, Terry...

Re: Re-2: compress - revZip
Hi David, interesting idea! Unfortunately i can't control the other side (the uncompressing side) so i have to stick with normal compression. Thanks for the reply, Claus. Phil Davis schrieb: Hi Claus, It seems like you could compress a very large file by reading/compressing/writing one chunk (say 10 MB) at a time, until you have compressed the entire file. This approach would use the open file / read from file / write to file / close file approach instead of get url / put x after url. That way only 10 MB of the file (in my example) would be in memory at any time. This approach would require that the decompression tool be a custom tool. So if you are creating a solution that is Rev from end to end, this could work! Otherwise it won't. Problem: When compressed, each 10 MB chunk will have some unpredictable size. You would have to make a way for the decompression tool to know the length of each compressed chunk in the file. One possible solution: Keep track of the compressed sizes as you compress each chunk, and write all the sizes (comma-delimited) to the output file as a header record when all compression is finished. Then the decompression tool would start by reading the header record. The numbers in the header tell the decompress tool how much data to grab in each read.

Re: extract every code out of stack
Hi Claus, Hi Mark, Sure, you could extract every script of every object, but that will probably not solve the problem. The actual problem is that you need to get aware of the message hierarchy. THIS must be the main problem ;-) It was my understanding, that the preOpenStack message is only sent to the (sub)stack that is going to open, not that it's going to the (main)stack that triggered the opening of the (sub)stack too (and all other substacks without an own preOpenStack handler). Start by moving the preOpenStack handler of the main stack to the card script of the first card of that stack. When you open the main stack now, the preOpenStack handler in the card script will run, but if you open a substack, it will not. Works. Thanks! So, again, the problem was sitting in front of the screen ...

identify broken images
Hi, i have a small problem i don't see a simple solution for. Maybe someone here has one. I want to display JPGs from file, so i make a put URL (binfile: my_file) into image im_1 This is working OK. But when the JPG in the filepath my_file is faulty (broken download or something) The above line displays an empty image im_1. I now want to identify these faulty images. I tried the following with no result: if the imagedata of image im_1 is not empty then ... if image im_1 is not empty then ... if the length of image im_1 0 then ...

How to resize an image?
Hi, I'm looking for an elegant way to resize (shrink) an image. Changing the width and the height only affects the display.

Re: How to resize an image? solved.
Hallo Claus, Hi Klaus, (thanks for your time on this warm and not so rainy sunday :-) ... Has anyone an elegant way to save a thumbnail of an image? There are probably 2 (or more ;-) ways to do this... 1. Use Trevors excellent QT External to create a preview image of ANY size... I was looking for an elegant/Transcript-only solution. An external would have been the last resort ... 2. Built-in solution: no external required :-) Size your original image as you like (lock loc!) Create a new image and script: ... set the width of img the new one to the widht of img the original one set the height of img the new one to the heigth of img the original one set the imagedata of img the new one to the imagedata of img the original one ... Now you have a new image that you can export as jpg or do whatever you want with :-) Hope that helps... That's exactly what i was looking for! I haven't found it in the transcript dictionary when i was searching for a solution, but there you can read: The imageData, unlike the contents of the image container, is based on the picture as it's presented on the screen, not stored in the image object. This means that if you resize an image, the content of the image does not change, but its imageData does. If you create an image and then reduce its size, its imageData reflects the scaled-down, displayed image, not the original full-scale image. If you create a second image and set its imageData property to the imageData of the original image, resizing the first image back to the original dimensions displays the original image at full resolution, but resizing the second image does not, because setting its imageData transferred only the scaled-down version of the original. So, again, beeing able to read is a clear advantage X-) Danke! Regards, Claus. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

RE: toolTip with more than 1 line
i know that the info in a toolTip should be short, but sometimes it's more readable when there are 2 or 3 small lines in a toolTip. The Dict says: The toolTip of a control is a single line of text.

Re: Can I embed PDF driver in a Rev stack built for distribution?
Ray Bennett wrote: Very clever idea, Geoff! Thanks! I'll give it a go. What about an image reference within PDF?

Don't want to change this into a PDF thread, but if there's a way to do that, it'd 100% solve my problem! Hi Ray, i don't think this will work. PDF is a file with objects in it (like pictures, text, etc.) One of this object is a reference object. Here are the offsets in BYTES to the other objects. So changing one object (changing text, exchanging graphics) will fail when the new object has not the same size (in bytes) as the the old one. Acrobat Reader can restore them sometimes when it can idetify the start token of each object. Maybe a Save can produce a correct PDF then. Regards, Claus. PS: This time it's for the list.

Create a document that looks the way you want it to. Wherever text needs to be placed, put an identifiable placeholder. Something like thisIsPlaceholderText1 should do. 2. Print the document to PDF. Use whatever tools you like. 3. Open the resulting PDF file and look for the placeholder text you included in the document. 4. Use the PDF file as a template, and when you want to print to PDF just replace the placeholder text with the text you want to print.

Re: How to create a MPEG movie
... How to create a MPEG movie,, ... Now, we want to diagnose the problem...to fix it for the next upgrade of the presentation. Is there a way to query an MPG to determine the CODEC under which it was exported? This would help. One could presume if the codec turns out to be the exactly same as the small ones, then it has more to do with the machine's processing power (i.e maybe our windoz machine doesn't cut it for larger movies...) But if the codec is different, then we need to know that before we re-run the MPGs from the original data. The movie team doesn't want to touch it again until I can give them a definitive answer to what codec will work (for sure) on both platforms regardless of the size of the movie. If post compression diagnosis of an MPG is not possible, then at least an answer to the last question should suffice. I'm not shure what you mean with the term CODEC here. The spec of MPEG 1 or 2 is not floating, it's (rock) solid. The only thing that could (should) vary are the parameters used to encode the movie, like resolution, bitrate, GOP structure, etc. So it's not important which programm made the MPEG stream as long as the used parameters were correct. To look inside the parameters of an MPEG stream, i use the Bitrate Viewer BV: http://www.tecoltd.com/bitratev.htm The free version should give you enough information.

Re: How to create a MPEG movie
Hi Hi Peter, (first time i can give an answer here :) What tool(s) would allow me to create a movie in .MPEG format? How is that usually done? What is .MPEG, as opposed to .AVI with some compressor? Most used MPEG formats are MPEG 1 (Video CD) and MPEG 2 (Super Video CD, DVD). Best (quality/cost) programm for encoding is the Tsunami MPEG Encoder, TMPGEnc. It's Windows only. http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html AVI, for my understanding, is a kind of container for various formats. I did some VideoCDs and SuperVideoCDs (you can whatch them with your DVD-player). If you have further questions regarding the encoding, i may help you. Thanks for all answers!
