Works instantly for me on 2.7.4 on an AMD 64 X2 4400+

You can get this to happen reliably just opening up Rev from scratch, making 
a new button, and putting that into the MouseUp handler? What version of 
Rev?

Maybe you need to upgrade your PC buzzer! [just kidding! ;)]

 Hello,

 I am currently having the following problem on a very modern and fast  PC 
 with a dual processor --sorry, those are the only specs I  currently have. 
 If I run the following script:

 beep
 answer hi

 it takes a very long time, like 5 minutes or so, before the answer  dialog 
 appears. I might also wait one minute, press control-alt- delete and close 
 the task manager (without interrupting any process)  and the answer dialog 
 will appear while the task manager is on-screen.

 The problem is not necessarily related to the fact that this is a 
 dual-processor PC. I would very much appreciate any information  regarding 
 dual-processor PC's, the described problem, possible  causes, and maybe 
 even possible workarounds besides taking out the beep.

 Thanks,

 Mark

Re: beep-answer-freeze

2007-01-10 Thread Brad Sampson

I was just recently experiencing problems that are probably attributed to
the same thing.  I had an image called image Play Output.  In the script,
it said:

wait 15 ticks with messages
show image Play Output

It would show the image, then it would get the error that image Play
Output doesn't exist.  It was because I was having an... imaginary error
somewhere else in script.  I tried for hours to track down the error, but
everything else was working fine.  Finally, I had to use a roundabout way to
do it.  The beep command takes time to execute, so another command might be
getting an error that doesn't really exist... I mean... its not a real
error, but revolution thinks it is... anyway, Revolution throws the error
out and the very next line of code has problems.  These are all roundabout,
but one of them might work:
1.  Put the line wait 0 ticks in between those lines of code
2.  Try replacing answer hi with something else, and see if that line
has problems instead
3.  If nothing else works, and your desperate, write your own handler that
makes a substack answer box

On number 3, I had the same problem, but with the revCopyFile command.  It
would take 30 seconds to execute, even on miniscule files.  I had to use a
shell command, and then it took a matter of milliseconds.

I hope one of those fixes your problem... although they're not fixing the
problem, they're going around it.  But if you can use a roundabout way and
save a few hours of debuging, that's worth it, right?

Mark,

Do you even hear the beep? Yesterday I posted a question regarding  
not even hearing a beep in RR, but no one has responded yet.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your reply. I read your e-mail yesterday, but RR beeps  
fine on my Mac with Mac OS X 10.4.8 and I have no idea why it might  
not. I do hear the beep on the PC, before it freezes. It doesn't  
really freeze of course, it is just stalled for a very long time.


Best regards,

Mark

A couple ideas to check for no-sound-OSX

this works in the message box for me

 play /Volumes/Cat150/_bkup060826/merge/sounds/Laff.aif


Garage Band will change the sound prefs to what it likes and this may not be
best for other apps.

Does iTunes play anything?
Can you play ANY .aif file in rev?

As I said before, the Mac Mini OS will turn the sound way down on restart,
no matter what you set to.  Combined with the tiny speaker, volume may be
too low to hear.

I use two Mini's (solo and duo) with Entp 2.7.2 (ext spkrs + manual turn
volume up) and sounds work fine.

Hi Mark,

Thanks. I figured as much. After seeing that it works with you I  
explored my System Preferences and found that someway, I have no idea  
how, the Alert Sound was turned off. Duh! Now it works fine. I know I  
checked some time back and it was ON.
