Gradient Fills in WinXP - Revisited!
I have exhaustively searched the archived posts for information on gradient fills. A few posts made references to creating a gradient fill via scripting. I am a novice Rev programmer and do not claim to be a mathematician so I am having a tough time with this problem. Basically, I have a rectangle graphic generated with a red fill. I want to change this solid fill from plain red to a gradient of Red to Orange. Example: Bottom color of rectangle would be an RGB value of Red: 255,0,0 and the top color would end with Orange: 255,128,0. Is there a way to possibly make the gradient fill in this rectangle using Rev to generate the graphic rectangle? Also, this will only be used on WinXP and images aren't an option at the present time for creating gradient fills. As always, I appreciate the assistance I receive from the group. Someday in the near future I will graduate from asking questions to answering questions in this forum. TIA, Josh -- Inch by inch, life is a cinch.

Re: Gradient Fills in WinXP - Revisited!
Back to my original question: Is there a way for me to accomplish this gradient effect in scripting for a graphic rectangle? I appreciate the GradientsNO2 utility but the site disclaimer mentioned the code is locked until enough people register. So I can't glance at the code for a starting point. Without using the utility I would really like to implement this functionality into my script and would like to know how to accomplish this task. Thanks to everyone for the assistance.

Sorry, it doesn't work with a single object. All I did was create an new stack in Rev, drag out a draw rectangle, then open GradientsNO2, change the colors and click Colorize. Nothing happened. Then I option-dragged another rectangle, selected them both, and clicked Colorize and they both got color. Try it for yourself...

Creating a answer hyperlink
I have a simple answer dialog displayed to a user. example: answer information Today is Tuesday.crhttp://www.somesite.com; with ok titled information How can I turn the URL above into a hyperlink to launch the users browser? I am only concerned with Windows solution. I have searched the archives and can't seem to find the right answer. I tried goRevURL but didn't get it to work.

2 Week Reminder Notice
I have been searching the archives for information and haven't really found an answer. I am new to Rev and have only posted a few times. Basically, I have stand-alone app for Windows (the .exe is encrypted) and I want to implement a two week reminder notice to the user to check a website for information. The URL won't be active I just want the reminder to generate every two weeks without using external files. The reminder would be different times for every installation. I was thinking of recording the system date on first launch and then using that to calculate the two week reminder from that point on. Am I on the right path? I welcome the feedback and support.

Re: Tabbed button colour, Win XP
Maybe try: set the lookandfeel to Windows 95 I have used this successfully before with tabs. Josh On 8/3/05, Martin BLACKMAN [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a tabbed button in Rev 2.6 whose background color is set to dark grey. In XP with the theme set to 'windows classic' it appears as dark grey. With the theme set to 'Windows XP' the background of the button becomes off-white, and setting the background color of the button has no effect. I use this button effectively as the background for most of my card, and switch between cards using the tabs. Can someone suggest a way to force the colour to grey ? I could put a grey rectangle on top but that would still leave the tabs... thanks Martin Blackman ___ 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 -- Inch by inch, life is a cinch.

Updating Title Bar
I have a program in rev that uses an external txt file for importing some data to the program. Is there a way to dynamically update the title bar version number of my program without going into the title property of the inspector? Basically, I would like to include a revision number in the text file and have this read into the title bar without having to recompile the build everytime I have to just update the txt file. Also, what happened to the google search for the archives? It is very frustrating not being able to search the archives. TIA, Josh -- Inch by inch, life is a cinch.

Re: Updating Title Bar
Thanks for the help. I have one last question on this subject. I am trying the following and I know I am missing something simple (newbie mistake): put myVariable into word 5 of field Field in stack SubStack What am I missing? This statement works well for a field in the same stack as the variable but I get the can't find object error when trying to test to the subStack.
