Hi Andre, Jim, Sarah, Richard Thanks for your help on this. I finally got it to work, and without any javascript!

Re: On-Rev File Browser Upload Dialog
Hi Jim, All I meant was that RevServer is the relatively new kid on the block, and I had hoped that it had the capability within it without relying on externals code such as java-script to get the job done in an easier way. I understand that it is bound by browser protocols, and that it needs to operate in accordance with the standards. Rick On Oct 21, 2010, at 11:30 AM, Jim Ault wrote: Rick I am not sure what you mean by 'older solutions'. RevServer is bound by the features and functions of browsers and the standards that they follow. The newest standards are HTML5, CSS3, etc. This is how browsers operate. Microsoft has done the experiment of deviating from such standards, teaching us that this is not a good long term strategy. On the desktop app/exe side, programmers are free to create their own protocols, interfaces, and functions. In that case, the marketplace will choose the 'winners'.

On-Rev File Browser Upload Dialog
I really don't want to re-invent the wheel today. How can I get a simple file browser upload dialog to upload a file using an irev script located at On-Rev. I understand that I'll probably be using libURLftpUploadFile for this. If this were just a stack I'd be using: answer file Please choose the file to upload to generate the dialog. As I understand it, 'answer' just doesn't work for irev scripts. This seems like such a basic need, that I can't imagine that no one has done this before. If you have any example code, that would be excellent. Thanks in advance!

Re: On-Rev File Browser Upload Dialog

Actually the whole web is like this, you communicate using stateless transactions exchanging what is basically text. What you do is send a form to the browser with the correct encoding and inputs and then you decode back this form. check out a little document on the web called HTTP made really easy to understand more about the underlining protocol and then check out w3schools website on HTML, CSS and Javascript.

It told me that I couldn't do it because I wasn't a SuperUser which to me seemed crazy because I was logged in as the user who created the database in the first place.

Re: about Rev cgi and MySQL
Hi, There are some other compromising approaches to consider as well. Don't have the record open long at all in your processing. If it is a form, don't use the database field for your entry, use a variable for the entry, so the record isn't actually open. Once the user actually submits the information, then open your record, copy the information from the variables into the record, and perform your update. In this way you will use the least amount of time for your record locking technique. Use a record locking strategy where you can use a Date/Time stamp along with a session ID, or IP-Address, when the record was opened for updating. If the record isn't updated within a specified amount of time, let it time out, send a message to the user that the update timed out, and direct them to do it over. Close the record so someone else can update it. If someone else is trying to update the same record at the same time, have the program wait for a couple of seconds and try the update again. (You can loop this for several tries before giving up. If it still fails at this point you can send that user a record busy message, ask them to wait, or ask them to try again in a minute, or to cancel their update for later.) I hope this helps! Rick On Nov 3, 2009, at 8:28 AM, Jan Schenkel wrote: This problem isn't unique to cgi-scripting - you have the same issues with a desktop application where concurrent updates need to be handled. There are 3 approaches to concurrent changes: - pessimistic locking (no one can change the record while somebody has it locked) - optimistic locking (essentially no locking, whoever makes the last update wins) - optimistic locking + versioning (again no locking, byut we use a version number to see if anyone else made a change) ...

Re: Full screen?
Hi Arthur, Use the screenRect function to find out the available screen sizes and to scale windows to the size of the screen. Examples from the dictionary: the screenRect set the rect of this stack to line 2 of the working screenRects I also found: Use the revChangeWindowSize command to change the size of a stack while leaving its top left corner in place, with optional animation effects. Examples: revChangeWindowSize 100,120 revChangeWindowSize the width of stack Template,200,slide revChangeWindowSize myWidth,myHeight,snap,1 -- displays card 1 revChangeWindowSize 200,250,slide,,500 -- slides over 1/2 second And the following I also found to be very interesting: Use the systemWindow property to create a stack that can be used as a systemwide utility, available in all applications. Value: The systemWindow property of a stack is true or false. By default, the systemWindow of a newly created stack is set to false. The systemWindow property makes a window float above all running applications. Examples: set the systemWindow of stack Magnifier to true set the systemWindow of the target to false I hope this helps!

Landman Gay wrote: I have to agree that the generic warning is a little too scary to encourage widespread adoption. An example of too many dialogs preventing adoption is Shockwave. Even with 60% of people having Shockwave installed, clients tend not to want to use it because installing the plugin has opt-out add-ons, and if you access content on another valid site for the same company, Shockwave would show that security dialog. With the latest Shockwave version you can now check the crossdomain.xml policy file, and so at last can get around that issue for using content on another one of the client's sites. Flash security is extremely tough and limiting, and manages to do all that without having to bother the user with permission dialogs. About 15 years of effort has gone into the thinking behind how Shockwave and Flash security is handled, so there is a chance that some of what they have done is a good way to work. So, Rev stacks online for your relatives to see your work is fine, but for real large client work it won't succeed if every user that uses the piece has to cope with security and permissions dialogs, because clients will tell you to use Flash instead. ___ 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 __ Rick Harrison You can buy my $10 music album Funny Time Machine digital CD on the iTunes Store Now!

Hi Mark, I was using a repeat loop. Hmm.. send-in-time. What is that? I'm not using a dialog such as answer or ask.

Re: Sucking the Marrow from Macintosh Apps
Hi there, You realize of course that sucking resources from any application that isn't yours, and for which you do not have permission to take such resources to claim for your own, is a violation of copyright law, and usually is also a violation of the software license agreement for that application. It is always best, and safest to create your own content. Then one is never at risk for any lawsuits whatsoever. Or, get permission in writing from the owners of the software to use those resources. If someone were sucking resources from your software application which you worked very hard on for many weeks to enrich themselves at your expense, I think you would not be a happy programmer. This is just a cautionary reminder for everyone.

You won't be able to guard against the use of internet cell phones especially for exams which are unsupervised. An unsupervised exam also allows students to communicate with each other about the test so they can still get answers even without access to the internet. That is why important exams are always monitored by a teacher. Your software will never be able to take over the important role of the Monitor in the room. Sometimes, teachers make exams so long that the students will not have enough time to answer all of the questions. I once had an open book exam where there were so many questions that you didn't have the time to open the book at all. One just had to know all of the material to be able to answer the questions.

Re: Who owns old icons?
Unless Apple, Inc. has put all of HyperCard into the public domain, the HyperCard icons are still owned by Apple, Inc. According to www.wikipedia.org: The Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA) of 1998 – alternatively known as the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, Sonny Bono Act, or pejoratively as the Mickey Mouse Protection Act – extended copyright terms in the United States by 20 years. Before the Act (under the Copyright Act of 1976), copyright would last for the life of the author plus 50 years, or 75 years for a work of corporate authorship; the Act extended these terms to life of the author plus 70 years and for works of corporate authorship to 120 years after creation or 95 years after publication, whichever endpoint is earlier.[1] The Act also affected copyright terms for copyrighted works published prior to January 1, 1978, also increasing their term of protection by 20 years, to a total of 95 years from publication. Unless you can either confirm that Apple, Inc. has put HyperCard into the public domain, or you have obtained permission from the Apple, Inc. legal department, you cannot do what you want with those icons. Yes, I know it seems terrible, but if you were Apple, Inc. I'm sure you would want to protect your under used icons too. After all Apple might want to consider using them for some different application in the future. wikipedia.org has a lot more information about copyright, and I suggest that anyone who is interested to check it out. ___ 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: Revolution, MySQL vs FileMaker
Hi there, Postgres is FREE. MySQL is not. If you read the license carefully this becomes very clear. I would never recommend giving some other company control of my company's database. You have no idea what they might do with the information, and you can't say for sure that you are really protecting your customers' data or privacy. In my opinion, If you can get Rev to work with Postgres, that would be the best, and least expensive solution. FileMaker is good for making quick interfaces and for ease of use, but they keep wanting to charge users more and more money for a product that seems to get slower with each release. I don't believe in companies who trick you into using their product, and then raise the cost of using their product once you've married yourself to them.

Re: Game Developers -- Call
. I've seen a lot of shareware and small no budget projects go completely to waste, and never earn any money to speak of. The big bucks ones are usually the rare exceptions. I was not referring to the subject matter of their game at all in my comments, just candidate expectations and pay. Perhaps I've just seen too many examples of programmers who took a lot of abuse from managers that they never should have in the past and that has colored my view of the programming world. I've met more people in my line of work who think that programmers should just give them hours and hours of blood, sweat, and tears without ever compensating them properly. There are also a lot of managers that have never programmed one line of code, but yet believe that code should just magically appear in front of them after 2 minutes of programming time has elapsed. They suffer from the Is it done yet? syndrome. I've met others who think that because you work with computers, it means that you must therefore know everything there is to know about all computers, and all software programs that exist in the entire world. I really believe in the hard work that programmers do with Revolution and other computer languages. I also believe strongly that they should be adequately compensated for their efforts with at least fair market value pay for their respective areas of the world. Programming authors who have written 20 games know all about Versiontracker, Tucows, and other distribution points for their software. They are probably so successful at that level that it would be highly unlikely for them to want to work on a game which promises little pay for their efforts. Oh, and just to state some of my other beliefs a little more clearly, Music is not free just because one can download it and duplicate it. Likewise software is not free just because one can download it and duplicate it. These things are only free if the author or creator of the work states specifically that the work is free. Otherwise, you must pay for these creations. Don't mistake them for amateurs, they were coding and doing computer projects and dtp since a very long time.

Re: Copyright issue with RevGoURL commands?
On the upside, Google does provide an API for developers to use for such purposes: http://www.google.com/apis/ -- Richard Gaskin I just went to this link to check it out. You are only allowed 1000 queries per day, and the API is only for Non-Commercial use only. Those pictures of the dogs may have their own copyright issues too. Just because google list them doesn't mean the owners gave up their copyright on the material. In many cases the owners of the pictures posted may not even know that google has indexed them, and included them in their database. I know of people who have set up small websites to show off pictures of their kids to Grandma, but since they didn't tell the web spiders to not index in their meta tags or supply a robots.txt file, google has now indexed those pictures. Those parents were not happy when they discovered their family pictures all over google! I suppose you might find some other search engine other than google to do your tests with. There are tons of them out there some of which may not have such tight controls. Good luck!

Re: Additive Images
Chipp Alejandro, Thanks so much for the quick help. I'm not sure I explained well enough what it is that I'm looking to do. I'm not talking about one opaque image on top of another so that parts of the third image overlays the second, and the second one overlays part of the first. I'm also don't think I'm talking about blending the three images so much either. Let's say for example that the pixel at 20,19 on the first image is red with a brightness of 26, and the second image contains the same shade of red at a brightness of 24 at pixel 20,19, and the third image contains blue at pixel 20,19 at a brightness of 34. Adding the data of the first two red pixels should give me a brightness of 50 red and then adding in the blue pixel should make the resulting pixel somewhat purple red with a brightness of 84. At least that's how I'm thinking it would work. Additive images. I still have to look into the stacks more in depth you've provided for me. Thanks again!

Additive Images
Hi there, I'm trying to create an overlay of three images so that it looks like a triple exposure. Or even possibly an unlimited amount up to the point I want to stop adding. Probably would use a slider control for this to adjust levels, number of images etc. I was thinking that Rev just might be the perfect tool for this. I thought I'd use a video camera to capture the images and then somehow add the value of pixels together. Does anyone have a clue as to how I might go about this? This seems like a path that others may have gone down in the past with Revolution, so I thought perhaps one of your image processing minds might have some good tips or pointers. Thanks in advance!

Apache SSL is a separately maintained product, and will require a lot more work if you aren't comfortable on the command-line. If you already have Apple's Apache installed, you'll want to enable mod_ssl, _not_ try to replace Apache with Apache SSL. Personally, I would use mod_ssl regardless as it'll always work with a vanilla Apache installation. That's good to know too. See this quote Apache-SSL is not mod_ssl There appears to be some confusion regarding Apache-SSL and mod_ssl. To set the record straight: mod_ssl is not a replacement for Apache-SSL - it is an alternative, in the same way that Apache is an alternative to Netscape/Microsoft servers, or Linux is an alternative to FreeBSD. It is a matter of personal choice as to which you run. mod_ssl is what is known as a 'split' - i.e. it was originally derived from Apache-SSL, but has been extensively redeveloped so the code now bears little relation to the original. Apache-SSL continues to be developed and maintained, our main focus being on reliability, security and performance, rather than features and bells and whistles. I hope this makes things clear. (Adam Laurie). This is the exact quote I was looking at before when I was referring to confusion about mod_ssl vs. Apache SSL. I saw it sometime about a month and a half ago but didn't find it today when I was looking for it. Hope that helps- I know it doesn't solve your problem of creating a stack, but you may have more success with the mod_ssl link that was posted than what you were using, especially if you're not on MacOS X Server. If it goes smoothly, you could probably hatch the shell commands together into a Rev stack without too much trouble... - Brian That helps a bunch Brian, because it tells me for sure which direction I need to proceed.
