Right. A slight nit but worth noting. I suppose there are situations where
changing data on the fly and not saving it is useful. Can't think of one
off-hand except where I'd use a variable anyway, but

Here's an example - I have an app that acts as a clock-timer. It never
needs to save any data except the position of the window, which it
saves to a preference file. However when it is running, it displays
different data every second. On startup, it gets the current time and
shows it and then

Actually, you specify the 'tab stops' in a table field.
I recommend that you do this from the Inspector palatte, in the Table drop
down menu choice to get a feel for what happens with different settings.
Start with a field that contains sample data you want to display, then use

Bridger,
What you did should work with the following caveats.
As Stephen said, the number of lines in your field cannot be more than
10. You may only use 'set the script of' controls with scripts of ten
lines or less (not including the handler part if I remember correctly.)

It worked fine under version 2.7.0. Do I need a new unlock code for

Thanks a Lot

Hi Viktoras,
One common way to handle this is to organize your app like this:
- the main app consists of the engine your splash screen stack only.
This keeps the executable small so it opens quickly when the user starts
the app.
- the splash screen stack contains code that opens the 'real'
I highly recommend revTabRuler, a plugin from Frtederic Rinaldi that

Hi Eric,
Here's a quick example you can play with and modify as you like. It
isn't meant to be the be-all-end-all, it just illustrates the one app
structure idea I was promoting.

Just unzip, double-click 'appSplash.rev' and away you go.
