Hello,
just making my first project with externals (valentina in this case), I
started the project with a main stack, which carries most of the
functionality and some substacks. I added the valentina externals to the
main stack, build the standalone of my main stack and everything works so
far.
Bonjour Eric,
When I started learning and using Rev I got a stack in which it was
done this way.
So I thought this was the only way and the right way to do it.
You showed and learned me today that it can and should be done differently.
Still learning Rev every day and loving it (me being a

On a side note. In the script window functions are labeled with an F --

labeled H. What does the H stand for?

parameters?
Functions are useful and handy because their main purpose is to
Thanks Eric. It sure helps to get a simple explanation like that in addition
to the docs. It seems like I can never understand any simple program concept
and use it properly without lots of examples and simple explanations.
But what if the function CurrentUsers is in a card in some other stack
Quick answers:
In Rev you can choose which you want since
function calls {can change the UI or data storage, etc}{return a string
value}
command handlers {can change the UI or data storage, etc}{return a string
value}
Most all programming languages have both types of 'handlers' by different
names
Bonsoir William,

putting nearly everything in the bg script of the default stack though as it
is also easier to find later.

So my question is twofold.
1. How do you send a do to a function.
You don't have to. Use this:
get value(myfuction(),this card)
The second part (this card) should be the script that holds the
function; it may be the stack, a button, whatever. Put the correct

There is no 'background script' in Rev, as there was in Hypercard.
The 'stack script' exists in both Rev and Hypercard.
Group scripts are used in Rev, and can behave as background groups, but

can call functions and commands from without trouble (maybe there should be
a short cut name for it). I thought of another more complex way, go around

I need to build a UI similar to the Finder or Windows Explorer, in which
there are icons that can be moved around, and selecting one brings it in
front of the others. To drag you just click and drag of course, and the
icon first come to the front then does the dragging action.

Why edit the group? Can't you just get all layer numbers of all
groups, take the highest number and set the layer of the target group
to to that number? Subsequently, get all layer numbers of of the

Hi Richard,
I don't know why you're not getting a mouseUp at mouseUp time. As a
workaround, I suppose you could use something like this:
on mouseMove x,y
if sIsDragging is true then
cancel sMyMouseUp -- stop most recent mouseUp msg from firing
set the topleft of me to (x-xOff),(y-yOff)
Bonsoir Richard,
I have the same behavior in an app of mine, written two years ago and
used every day...
I have groups composed with an image and buttons that belong
themselves to a main group.
When the user clicks such a sub group, I bring it to top and allow to
move it.
I have no time

The start using command places a stack's script into the message path

Many thanks to all who offered advice on this.
Eric Chatonet was kind enough to email me a nifty handler that solves
the problem very well, without having to set the editBackground (which I
admit made me squeamish when it seemed the only alternative).

We're often the worst at heeding our own advice, until it really
happens. I hope you get some semblance of normality back.
So much more than just code is stored on our boxes (photos, letters,
emails, etc) that it more often than not is a more personal loss.
Cheers,
Luis.

BTW, I think I would try locking and unlocking messages before and after
your edit group stuff and see if that doesn't clear up the mouseUp message..
