AllowInterrupts 'False' By Default?
I've been dealing with the fact that I have been unable to Command-period out of script execution for many months, and even complained about that to Richard... however he didn't seem to have any problems. So after doing a lot of testing, I have come to the following facts: 1) A brand new build of MC and the MC IDE using the latest 2.8.1 version of Rev will, by default, set the allowInterrupts to FALSE. (I searched through all of the scripts in the MC IDE, and none set the allowInterrupts property.) 2) Rev 2.8.1 has the default allowInterrupts set to TRUE. (I searched through all of the scripts that I have access tothat Rev loads (i.e. not the Home.rev stack, which is locked and I can't edit), an none set set the allowInterrupts to TRUE.) 3) Standalones built in both MC and Rev have their default allowInterrupts set to TRUE. 4) There are some differences between the Rev editing engine and the Rev standalone engine (otherwise we wouldn't need to use a separate engine to build standalones). 5) This does not have any problems in MC 2.6.6. So it appears as through the Editing engine sets the default to FALSE, and the standalone sets it to TRUE, and (I assume) the locked Home.rev is setting the allowInterrupts to TRUE for use in the Rev IDE - but since the MC IDE *isn't*, it's staying FALSE. The only other answer I can see is that the engine is discriminating between IDEs (which is probably unlikely). So the big question... are any of you experiencing this same problem in the MC IDE? The basic test I did was (a) launch MC, open the message box, type put the allowInterrupts... Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.

Re: MetaCard IDE
Bryan, I have stacks with substacks that make Revolution very unhappy, and don't allow me to create standalones. Yet in Metacard everything works fine, no problems, happy standalones. If you get the Metacard IDE up and running and use it to do your standalones, that may solve your problem. Of course, you could also try another trick I learned. Rename the substack. If it's called Execution Error then rename it to xExecution Error or something. Then when your main stack opens, have it check the environment to see if it's a standalone or whether you're in MC/Rev and it's still just a stack. If it's a standalone, it can rename the embedded stack back to its original name and MC/Rev will recognize it. It will not save the name as standalones cannot save changes within themselves. So when the standalone quits it becomes xExecution Error again. This is a way to fool the engine so that it doesn't get confused. Especially when you're editing the stack and MC/Rev has a stack with the same name. Shari Hi, I recently updated my license to Revolution but still wish to use the MetaCard IDE (I am pleased some of you are keeping that going). But I am having a problem getting the MetaCard IDE working and a little confused. I am guessing to get things going I need a MetaCard app (bundle). However, the only version of MetaCard I have is a Carbon version (2.4) and I am guessing this does me no good. Is there a MetaCard app (bundle) around I can get a hold of to get going? Or is there something else I am missing. On the flip side, my stacks are working fine importing them to Rev but I am unable to build a standalone. Perhaps this has to do with the old Menu substack I have residing in these stacks, but again I am unsure. Is there information somewhere on converting these old MetaCard stacks to rev? Thanks!

Sorry, I didn't even think of that. I removed a custom backscript and restarted MC. Now the allowinterrupts is false, so it looks like an engine default. I thought Mark fixed that a couple of versions ago. I remember that Rev shipped with it accidentally set to false for one release. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

So I'll re-open the bug. The odd thing is that it *appears* to have a different default in the RevIDE, but I'm sure that's because the locked Home stack script is setting it to true.
