Re: [OT] What's an iPad?
I just got a 16 GB iPad yesterday. I was thinking of it as a large iPod touch, but it is not. It is something new that is a blast to use. I think it will change the way people casually use technology and is a big step forward in consumer electronics. After using it for the last day, I think it is a good value as well. It can replace a net book, kindle, and a hand-held game system as well as being a media system for photos, video and music. Much more fun than I expected and I would suspect it will be a widely copied model over the next years by other companies. - Mike Mike Brown Cyber-NY Interactive 212-475-2721 Ext. 306 www.cyber-ny.com m...@cyber-ny.com Follow Us On Twitter http://www.twitter.com/cyberny On Apr 11, 2010, at 11:59 AM, Neal Campbell wrote: I had mine delivered from China on April 3rd since I ordered it the day it was available for ordering.

Re: Revmobile Internet Support
Hi Colin,
Unfortunately the revBrowser external commands cannot be used for
rendering HTML in the Revmobile pre-alpha. The only for mat example
provided in the documentation is using the "put url" format as in this
example script: "put url (“http://www.google.com”) into tGooglePage"
but I can't find any info on what you do to display a web page using
the page source captured in the tGooglePage container.

I suppose you would say:
revBrowserSet id, "htmltext",tGooglePage
where id would be the id of the revBrowser instance. Still wouldn't
work on a phone.
Here's a script that would close all existing revBrowsers, get the
Google page source, and then set it to a new instance:
on mouseUp
put revBrowserInstances() into tInstances
repeat for each item tInstance in tInstances
revBrowserClose tInstance
end repeat
put url ("http://www.google.com/";) into tGooglePage
put revBrowserOpen(the windowId of this stack, "") into tBrowserId
revBrowserSet tBrowserId,"rect",the rect of button "placeholder"
revBrowserSet tBrowserId,"htmltext",tGooglePage
end mouseUp
Usually I think you would open the initial page in the first
revBrowserSet line. In the above example, button "placeholder" is
set to have an outer glow, which means that the web page seems to
have that outer glow too.

Re: Making Screensavers with Revolution -Example Stack
Here is a link for downloading the Rev Stack that can be made into a screensaver on Windows OS: http://clients.cyber-ny.com/rev/ScreenSaver.rev To make this into a screensaver, you would save it as a Standalone and then replace the ".exe" extension with ".scr". Then take the new ".scr" file you created and drop it into the "windows" directory of your PC. From your PC's "Start" menu, select "Settings" and then "Display Settings". A pop-up with display settings will open. Select the "Screen Savers" tab and you should be able to locate the new ScreenSaver from the menu of options. Set it to display in 1 minute and then save. After a minute, the screensaver should appear. When you move the mouse, it will quit. This is a crude example where I have used a single logo image that fades in and out at different point on the screen. I stored the script that controls the screensaver effect and repeat loops in a hidden button called "MoveLogo". The scripts that initiate the screensaver effect are stored in the card's script. The stack script contains the quit methods and a script for centering and resizing the stack for different monitors. Any suggestions or improvements are welcome!!

Hi Jim, I tried the mousemove method: on mousemove quit End mousemove But it does not work on the Windows OS for a screensaver application (.scr). The screensaver will launch from Windows but immediately quits as if you moved the mouse... Even if the mouse is completely stationary. It is my understanding that Windows handles all of the functions of a screensaver made in the .scr format but your application has to have a function that waits for the Windows message sent to it to know when to quit. I need to know what that message name is or how it is implemented. I did some searching around but haven't found anything yet...

Re: Develop on Windows or Mac?
The Revolution team has done an excellent job of providing a truly cross-platform development tool with very little differences! I have developed Revolution applications on both a Mac G4 and Windows 2000 & XP machines and have not run into any platform related bugs. From my experience, Revolution seems to run equally well on both Mac & Windows machines. I do not detect a performance difference or advantage relating to the software. Because I am more comfortable working from Mac OS X, I tend to do 90% of development from the Mac, BUT when it comes time to distribute to a Windows market, I always have to load my Rev Stack onto a Windows PC and do cosmetic changes because the final stack or standalone does not display the same on both operating systems. Text fields, labels and other elements such as buttons will shift position so alignment is off. Also, background colors that appear white or transparent from the Mac can display with a shaded color on Windows until you go to the color palette and assign a color. If you are building apps for a Windows audience and want to avoid this extra step, you may choose to develop directly from Windows. I choose to develop on a Mac because I like all of the other Mac friendly design tools that I use for the interface elements and I prefer the Mac OS X environment... So for me, it is worth the extra steps at the end of the project to clean up alignments from a Windows computer or using a Windows computer as a visual reference.

Re: Relative File Name
Hi Scott, I am not sure if this is what you were asking, but for getting files stored in a folder relative to my stack I do the following. I get the filename of my Rev stack or App and store the location in a variable such as gStackLoc. You have to delete the last item of the filename from the variable because that will be the actual name of your stack. I do that by scripting: Global gStackLoc Put the filename of this stack into gStackLoc Set the itemdelimiter to / Delete the last item of gStackLoc That way when I look for a file that is always stored in a folder relative to my stack location I can add the path to the end the variable like this: Get file gStackLoc & "/images/image1.gif" Or Global gFileLoc Put gStackLoc & "/images/image1.gif" into gFileLoc Get file gFileLoc Maybe somebody out there has a simpler method for this, if not I hope this info is helpful.

Re: Linking to web sites and files from Mac OS X
Thanks Ken! The revGoURL function works perfect for launching the browser on Mac and Windows. I never knew of this function, I have been doing the long scripted method of getting the platform, etc... I don't suppose there are other Rev functions for launching an App from all platforms or opening a folder? I will use get the platform and systemversion functions to implement individual methods if no such Rev functions exist. Thanks again for the help!!

Linking to web sites and files from Mac OS X
Hello, I am looking for a method to link or connect to a web site (launch a web browser) from my Rev stack from Mac OS X. I also want to be able to open or launch a local file such as a PDF from my Rev stack. Up to now, I have been using scripts that work on Windows and Mac OS 9.2. These methods do not seem to work on OS X. Is that correct?? Just for reference, here is the method I have been using for Mac OS 9.2. Opening a local PDF file: get the platform if it contains "Mac" then launch gLocationHolder with gAppHolder else end if Launching a browser to connect to a web site: get the platform if it contains "Mac" then Put "www.mywebsite.com" into gWebHolder send gWebHolder to program "Finder" with "GURLGURL" Will these methods work on OS X?? Thanks! Mike Mike Brown Cyber-NY Interactive ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Filter items
Does anyone have a list of the file names or types that can be filtered from the ask command? I have JPEG but can't find one for GIF images that works. Example Script for images: ask file "Import image:" with filter "JPEG file,*.jpg" This filter limits the import to jpegs only... How can I allow the user to see other file types such as Gifs, PDFs, Rev docs, etc...

Re: Fonts in a Standalone
Hi Paul, I have run into the same issue and for that reason I generally use Times and Arial for text.

A method for opening folders from Rev
Just to put some closure on this issue, I was able to open a folder using
the following scripts that Ken Ray and John Nunez helped with:
Please Note: These scripts are for opening a pre-designated folder from
your Rev Stack or Standalone and will work from the Hard Drive or a CD-ROM.
If you want the user to select a folder, add the "Answer Folder" or "File"
method. These scripts also assume the folder path is relative to the
Standalone path like on a CD-ROM.
For Rev Stacks on Mac OS 8.6 - OS X:
on MouseUp
global MyFolderPath
put the filename of this stack into MyFolderPath -- Gets the relative path
set the itemdelimiter to"/"
delete the last item of MyFolderPath -- Deletes the name of your stack
put ":FolderName" after MyFolderPath -- adds your folder name
replace "/" with ":" in pAppPath -- makes path compatible with AppleScript
put "tell application " & quote & "Finder" & quote & cr & \
"activate" & cr & \
"open folder " & quote & MyFolderPath & quote & cr & \
"end tell" into tScript -- Assembles AppleScript
do tScript as AppleScript -- Sends AppleScript to Mac OS
end MouseUp
For Rev Stacks on Win OS (98, ME, 2000,) Not tested on XP:
on Mouseup
global MyFolderPath
put the filename of this stack into MyFolderPath
set the itemdelimiter to"/"
delete the last item of MyFolderPath -- Deletes the name of your stack
put "\FolderName" after MyFolderPath -- adds your folder name
replace "/" with "\" in MyFolderPath -- makes path compatible Windows
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
get shell("start " & MyFolderPath) -- uses Windows console to open folder
end Mouseup
I hope this is helpful...

Re: Opening folders from Rev
Ken,
I ran "put the shellCommand" from Rev's message box and the result was
"command.com". I will try adding the "set the shellCommand to "cmd.exe"" to
your script and see what happens.
It would be great to add "folder" or "open folder" to Transcript to avoid
this problem in future Rev releases. I would think that opening a folder on
a Hard Drive would be a common enough task to warrant its addition to the
scripting language.

Re: Opening folders from Rev
Hi Ken,
I did try your script on Win 98 but without any luck.
The "get shell("C:\Temp.lnk")" part of the script doesn't seem to do
anything. The other parts work including creating the alias, placing the
path within the alias and finally deleting the alias. The shell command
does not activate anything though.
Never thought it would be this tough to open a folder.

Re: Opening folders from Rev
Hi Scott,
I'm using an absolute path to locate the folder (I use the filename function
to get it). That part works great. I test it by running the script through
a fld in the stack that displays the path. I can then copy that same path
and execute it from the Windows "Run" window or from an OS Window and it
will pop the folder open.
The "get shell("start " & MyFolderPath)" script works in a Rev Stack just
not in an Executable. I think I need an alternative method to the "Start "
portion of the script.
Thanks,
Mike

Re: Opening folders from Rev
Hi Ken,
Still no luck. I tried it on Mac OS 9.2, OSX and Win 98... no luck on all
fronts. I also tried minimizing the script for each specific OS to avoid
mistakes but still no luck.
On Mac OS 9.2 the script does bring the Finder to the front but then nothing
else happens. I created a test fld for the script and it is adding the
appropriate path to the folder a sending the AppleScript message.

Re: Opening folders from Rev with Externals
The Externals collection on the RunRev site appears to be somewhat limited... it only has several features and I don't see the "Open File" as one of them. The older MetaCard Externals collection does have the "Open File" feature but the purchase method is no longer valid. It points to the old XWorlds web site. - Mike on 10/22/02 8:43 PM, Scott Rossi at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Recently, "Mike Brown" wrote: > >> I'm burning a CD-ROM that will contain a Rev Stack/app as the Table of >> Contents Page.

Re: Opening folders from Rev with Externals
I'm burning a CD-ROM that will contain a Rev Stack/app as the Table of Contents Page. The Stack will list a directory of folders on the CD - each folder containing documents. The CD will contain various folders containing documents. I want to be able to click on button within my Rev Stack and open a particular folder on the CD so that the documents may be manually dragged to the Hard Drive. I do hope it is easy to do...

Re: Revolution for Presentations?
Hi Joao, I have created several presentations using revolution. It has most of the necessary elements for a multimedia presentation including, transition effects, sound play back, object animation, hyperlinks, screen backdrop, image import and QuickTime movie playback. I have been having some difficulty displaying a variety of movie formats but am trying to work past this. Did you have any particular questions?

Re: More & More Movie Difficulties
Hi Jeanne, Thanks for your response to my videoclip playback issue. I already tried all of those recommendations in my last two weeks of investigating videoclip display. I have spent a lot of time setting up test fields and test stacks to identify the clip to be played. After trying every available codec and testing across multiple platforms, the only format of video I have personally been able to play back within Revolution is the .mov (Quicktime) format. This script only plays back .mov format: on mouseup play videoclip "moviename.avi" end mouseup I am only looking for confirmation on this. If I create an .avi movie file using the industry standard "Media Cleaner Pro" application in any compression codec (intel indeo, cinepak, ir 2, sorenson, etc...), it will not play back from Rev although the same clip will play back in MetaCard, Windows Media Player, QuickTime and in some cases Real on both Mac and Win OS. Rev documentation offers very sparse info on movie play back but it does list the ability to play back a .avi clip from the script I described. I guess I though video playback through REV would be a hotter issue, but it seems to be falling flat on the discussion list - so I apologize for bringing it up again. I will be sure to list anything I find out about this in the event somebody else experiences the same issues. Thanks, Mike on 7/13/02 11:41 PM, Jeanne A. E.

Re: More & More Movie Difficulties
Troy, on a Windows OS machine it would most likely use Windows Media Player. I'm not sure though - somebody at Rev could better answer that question. You can test the theory by implementing the script in a MetaCard stack and playing back on a Win OS PC without QuickTime Installed. I created several presentations this way. > > > On Tuesday, July 9, 2002, at 02:37 PM, Mike Brown wrote: > >> Unless I am misunderstanding the Rev documentation, it states an .avi >> file >> can be imported and played using the play command in the following >> script: >> >> on mouseup >> play videoclip "moviename.avi" >> end mouseup >> >> This does not use the QuickTime player.

Unless I am misunderstanding the Rev documentation, it states an .avi file can be imported and played using the play command in the following script: on mouseup play videoclip "moviename.avi" end mouseup This does not use the QuickTime player.

For Windows installers you can also use Setup Generator available for free
