Is there a setting that will make these go away? Hi James, If you feel so, you can do that on your own. Try out this simple script : on mouseUp local G put the globals into G replace comma with return in G filter G without "$*" put G end mouseUp Then go for the revdebugger.rev stack and open the stack script. Look for the function below around line 223 : # Returns # A list of the globals with valid names. I.e not the ones with (x86) in them on Vista 64bit. function revDebuggerValidGlobalNames And there operate on the globals as shown above And last, probably better to make a copy of your LiveCode App before starting :) Regards, Thierry ___ 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

Hi, Running SQLite without a database file creates an in-memory database. Using the .dump command will dump that in-memory DB to a SQL file that can then be re-read into a file-backed database (or back into a memory database) But Sqlite caches data in memory so a file based database and memory based perform much the same.

I've been working with mini-linux too since a while. I've stopped working with Ubuntu for different reasons, but let's put that way : Few of my customers were not happy and after the first "Wouah", they started complaining on differents things Otherwise, there is often a lot of misunderstanding on Linux around. First, they all share the core linux, which is more or less the same on every distro. Then we have these collection of distrib which can be seen as supermarkets where you can ship a whole bunch of products in one go, but it's only tools/apps put on the top of the core linux. This can be done with packages tools available on every distro, and if they have different names, they all do the same jobs. And if you don't find a specific app on your distro , then search it from another distro, convert the package , and install it > tinycore_3.1.iso I've worked with it, but I wouldn't recommend it as a first choice, because the main goal of this distro is to run it on RAM with no installation. Sure you can install it on a hard disk but then you won't find so much support or help on this topic By the way, the tc forum is a very friendly one. > slitaz-3.0.iso This is my choice since a while. I've been able to do fast installations, easily packaged for every customer. And each time I'm doing a new job, I'm building my own tools to run installs faster and with good qualities ( one is to not miss any specific parameters in one of those dozens of config files ). I use Rev as a front-end for my install, and for instance, on my Mac, I have a stack where I can design the whole desktop, I mean a desktop background image, properties of windows, appareance of the menus,the panel, populating menus,... and doing this too with the Login window ( slim ), and have French text everywhere ( well, true a 95% ) then via a ssh connection, in one click do the instal or update of a user with a specific environment, and this takes less than a second, and more, even with old PCs with 128/256 Kb of RAM, old disks, etc Until now, I've blocked my customers with only one desktop, then Rev runs almost allright. ( and nobody complains as they all were microsoft's users. ) Some glitch still, but I'm a RevStudio 4.0 user... waiting for the next release So far, I'm not proposing apps made by Rev to my customers ( except few games for children as gifts ), just use it as an administration tool, but that's already a good deal for me. In my office, I'm running a PIV box with Slitaz and all the development tools I need. And I use it as a backup server, a svn server and building rev externals with it, and all this with 256 Mb of RAM. And last, few weeks ago, I was buiding a Rev stack using one my external. All this in Slitaz. Then I make a tar file, send it to a friend ( not a computer geek ) and he could play with the stack and the external instantly on Ubuntu !

In all the externals I made, I always build a sort of ResetExternalFunction to do all kinds of reset, freeing buffers,... But nowhere I've seen any information about "closing/unloading an external" As for the last 10 years, starting from Metacard on Unix, then using mostly Metacard, then using kRev, never had one of this problem. Hmm, and I've make almost 50 externals mainly for specific customer applications and few to be used within the Rev IDE. So, I'm not that familiar with the Rev IDE tricks. > Other than those cases, I have never seen destroystack fail. Different ways of coding and working with Rev... Maybe you were lucky or maybe I'm not :) Another point: this reminds me one thread on this list about someone who couldn't start an external. I guess/feel that his problem could be that his stack was still in memory, and when he restarted it, the normal process of loading the external didn't work because the stack was already in memory.

Well, as much as I understood, ditto should be aware of that. It is clearly explain in the man doc. Inside the zip, it creates a special folder __MACOSX/ where all specifics extended flags are stored You can see that doing an unzip -l yourfile.zip.

It's a clever trick ( from Mark W. if I remember well ) when one is writing externals. This way one can set automatically to the dummy stack the path of the external builded in Xcode.

Re: Calling all open source developers
LGPL - a less GPL, . May be this will give some ideas ? Copied from http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=148162 Once and for all, Perl is distributed under both the GPL AND the Artistic license. The goal, explicitely stated by Larry, of this double licensing is to make everybody happy: suits can use the Artistic License (which he describes as an antidote to the GPL) so they can use it in commercial software, and rabid GNU zealots see their beloved GPL being used. The goal (once again explicitely stated by Larry) is not to have a legally sound scheme, it is to quiet down both sides of the Open- Source vs Free Software debate, plus commercial software producers. In fact it is designed precisely to avoid that kind of GPL/LGPL nit- picking. See this interview(1) for Larry's description of this hack, and a legal analysis of the Artistic License in "Essay on the Artistic License"(2) (1) interview: http://lwn.net/2001/features/LarryWall/ (2) Artistic license : http://www.theoretic.com/licenses/oal.html And if you read the comments about artistic license, then, it starts to be real fun, or not :-) Regards, Thierry ___ 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've never made those kind of benchmarks. But, I did check stressfull communication between Perl and Revolution. For instance, I've made some animation where all the calculation are made in Perl, and list of hundreds points were passed to and from Perl every 5 ms; everything was moving smoothly and the most consuming task was the redraw of the graphic on screen, which you have to deal with anyway, even only with revTalk. So, what I can say today is I never had any problems concerning interaction speed. The architecture has been made for this.

Hi Scott, I managed to play them all together , but can't do the superposition ( flashing at the intersection ). . but here are 2 things to try: 1) Try setting the alwaysBuffer property of each movie to true -- this allows you to layer movies just like any other object on the card. The possible drawback is performance may suffer, the movies may not play well. Well, doing this blocks everything in my case. 2) If the above option doesn't work well, try playing the superimposed "overlay" movies in small, separate stacks positioned above the main stack that contains your main background movie. If you set the decorations property of the overlay stacks to "none", you will remove the titlebars from the windows and the windows will appear to be part of your main background stack. Great, I'll try that later on Thanks Thierry ___ 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
Synchronized videos with superimposition
Hi, I'm in the process of making some animated slides with RevStudio for a talk I'm doing soon in Paris. 1) I have to my disposal 3 videos ( .mov ). 2) I'm really dummy with video stuff 3) I'm on a MacBook/Tiger. I would like to have one in the background, let say , half screen , and the others two, much smaller in size ( 15% each of the first ), superimposed on the first. I managed to play them all together , but can't do the superposition ( flashing at the intersection ). Then, with iMOvie HD tried to build one Video out of the 3, but there is only one video track :-( Any enlightment are very much welcome.

Re: installer made by Rev...
Thanks Richard, Mark,...
well, I knew a bundle is a folder.
I was hoping of an unrevealed feature to avoid scanning the bundle
folder,
and dealing with each kind of files inside
So, in the same vein you run a shell command to set exe bit,
i'm using this shell command for all the process :
get shell( "tar xf compressedfile")
and files dates, files permissions are all respected.
Hope all those Mac from 10.4 have /usr/bin/tar !

I'm finishing an installer in Rev which is a basic stack in fact.
After asking some parameters, it will check on the web for versions,
and should dowload few files.
Those files were compressed before.
Rev can download them,
decompress them and save them on the user's disk.
So far so good.
But, I have a external.bundle to download too,
and I'm stuck on how to compress,
zip or package it
so the stack installer can download it and save it.
I've even tried the gzip/gunzip command line tool
which doesn't work either :-(
Any clever clue ?
It will be good to be done in Rev only.
I've become increasingly annoyed with the build process using any
other installer maker, so I make my own in Rev too. Freedom +
convenience!
As Mark S. noted, an OSX bundle is just a folder, so you can store
its parts however you would store any other folder. My installer
walks through the bundle keep track of folders, and tucking the
data files and folder references into custom props gzipped at build
time, spitting them out into created directories at install time.
When you spit out the Mac executable, remember that you'll need to
set its executable bit -- Mark Waddingham was kind enough to share
this with me:
get shell("chmod ugo+x" && quote & tDest & quote)
...where tDest is the path to the executable inside *.app/Contents/

Re: "set the externals" question
Le 6 mai 09 à 14:20, Richard Miller a écrit : I have a standalone, which opens several other stacks. Is there a way to have any of these other stacks access an external WITHOUT having to "set the externals" of the standalone? It's much easier for me if I need only modify one of the stacks. I'd like to avoid modifying the standalone. I've tried: 1. using the "set the externals" command in the preopenstack handler in one of the stacks (i.e. not the standalone app), but this didn't work during runtime; can't work this way. the property externals has to be set before opening a stack, or the other way round you must set the external before saving your stack 2. setting the externals of one of the stacks in the development environment (so I can see that the external is being referenced in the stack property inspector). This didn't work during runtime. one way to do this: build a templatestack, setting the externals in the templatestack, then create a stack, open it, and then, may be: "start using your stack". this should be cross-platform.

On my Macbook, it's not really noticeable, On the big PC of my beta tester, half a second. So, that could valid your guess.

I found that there is a small ellapsed time when you start a sound by setting the filename of the player Any ways to increase the speed ?

If you use multiple players, you can preassign sounds to each player. preassign ? you mean setting the filename to the sound file during development time ? If your goal is to do something like sound effects that play over background music, a decent arrangement is to use audioClips for the sound effects (fast access) and a player for the background music file.

Is this a normal behavior of the message path ? The 2 groups are at the same level of the message hierarchy, so a message will never flow from one group to another, unless one is inside the other. In you example, the message passes as follows Stack | Card |--|---| B1 G1 G2 | B2 So clicking B2 sends the message to B2, G1, card, stack - but not to B1 or to G2. a click on B1, Hello handler in G2 get fired ! I understand it should work that way: ( from page 110, fig 50 on Rev User's guide ) Stack | Background ( G2 ) | Card | controls ( B1, G1/B2, ... ) So, my question is more about the BackgroundBehavior. In the Inspector for a group, setting the backgroundBehavior you have also a little texte ( ... put after card in message path ) Still perplexe why it doesn't work ?

Re: Reference Function Name Via Variable?
Hi all,
# Other ways to manage Ref functions...
on mouseup
put "hello" into arg1
put "world" into arg2
put "shout" into NameOfFunc
answer value( format( "%s( %s, %s)", NameOfFunc, arg1, arg2 ) )
end mouseup
# Or substitute value & format with a dispatcher function
answer dispatcher( NameOfFunc, arg1, arg2 )
function dispatcher NoF, a1, a2
return value( format( "%s( %s, %s)", NoF, a1, a2 ) )
end dispatcher
# And a more generic dispatcher.
answer dispatcher2( NameOfFunc, arg1, arg2 )
function dispatcher2 NoF
put NoF & "(" into tmp
repeat with p=2 to the paramcount
put quote & param( p) & quote & "," after tmp
end repeat
put ")" into last char of tmp
return value( tmp )
end dispatcher2
HTH,
Regards,
Thierry

Re: import animated gif
Hi Richmond and all others, Macintosh Recipe: One of the ways to "sort out" an animated gif so that it will behave in Runtime Revolution is to open it as a movie using Quicktime. The save it as an image sequence. The import those images into Pixen http://opensword.org/Pixen/ and produce an animated GIF where all the frames are full-frames. End of story with the animated clown.gif :-) After having set the constantmask to true, it works on my Mac. Trying the stack on Win2K, XP SP1, the appearance of the gif was wrong, sort of greyish background mixed up in the animation.. But more, crash Revolution on XP SP3 Then, following Jacqueline advice, import it in Graphic Converter, export it again with the default option as an animated gif, and everything works perfectly in the 4 boxes. Well, find a bit bizarre that it crash on the XP SP3... ??? Thanks to all for your generous advices, Regards, Thierry ___ 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: [1/2 OT] can't see emails i sent to this list
Hi Kay , I changed a week ago my email address. Since then I have a google one, and use the IMAP protocol to read them in my Mail app ( Mac OS X ). Helas, seems google don't send me back the emails I send to this list You mean you read then in Mail, and reply to them in Mail but your replies don't end up in Mail's Sent folder? They are in the google mails ( i can see them via Web Mails on google site ), but they are not downloaded into my Mail app... and can't see any option in the Google profil ? or something else ?

Re: Using rev with -ui flag
Hi, You wrote: If there's a problem, it should show up in the error log. I'm probably being stupid, don't think so :-) but what log would that be (on either Mac or Linux)? (BTW I possibly didn't make clear that this isn't in a CGI context - this is a standalone app.) could be catch in stderr Some native Revolution commands that don't work (and may hang your script) are: ... * create stack (or any file creation) - CGI permissions restriction Does that apply even if running as an ordinary standalone, not as CGI? You're right. I'm using Revolution ( Metacard to be honest ) since years with -ui. and not in a CGI context. I'm catching some information from the outside world of Revolution and out of it can build a script, create a stack , compile it and send back the result. No problems so far. But, I've to admit I'm still a bit annoyed, not to say more, that there is no doc at all for these things So, I'm very careful when I develop; which means test test and test... and multiply by 3 the development time to be sure :-( Without saying that for every new version, one have to check everything again to be sure that it still works !!! I've opened BZ #7620 to request actual documentation (gasp!) of command line options, and included a reference back to Mark's note as the nearest there is to RunRev documentation at present. I'll go there and vote for it !
