MetaCard/Revolution help needed

2003-01-09 Thread Peter McConachie
Hello

I am trying to find MetaCard/Revolution users who may be interested in
helping me in developing a MetaCard/Valentina application.

Our office is located in Brisbane, Australia. We would prefer someone in
South East Queensland.

With thanks,

Re: text encoding q, problems with networked folder and IDE

3) I remember reading somewhere that one should open the stack using
Revolution IDE on the target platform, then save the stack, to convert
the text encoding of all the cards. Is this correct? Anything else to
get the text encoding converted correctly? I'm mainly interested in
fast startup times.

That's right. From the docs:
--
When you save a stack, its text is encoded using either the ISO character
set (on Unix or Windows systems) or the Macintosh character set (on Mac OS
or OS X systems). If you open the stack on a system that uses the other
character set, Revolution converts all the text in the stack to use the
current character set, and the process takes noticeable time if the stack
contains a great deal of text in fields or scripts.
-
So the text is converted automatically when you open the stack on the other
set of platforms (Mac OS/OS X versus Unix/Windows), and you just have to
save it to get the benefit.

Maybe I am missing your point, but... yes it does; the default install 
of OS X uses HFS+ which is the same filesystem used by older Mac OS 
versions. HFS+ is fast and supports resource forks. Installing OS X on 
UFS (case sensitive, slow, no resource forks) is highly discouraged 
unless you have a VERY good reason to use it. e.g. you have a Unix 
program that cannot deal with case preserving filesystem like HFS+.

The situation is a bit confusing for developers on OS X though. App 
developers on OS X can use CFM or MachO binary formats, file extensions 
and app bundles or and resource fork data/creator codes. Mix and match. 
Use all, or use none. And hope the Finder and the OS can figure it out 
:-)

Personally I think an application bundle w/ the XML property lists and 
resources contained within the bundle is pretty cool. I never liked 
ResEdit.

Standalone Icons

2003-01-09 Thread Robert Presender
Hi,
Using 10.2.3, Rev 1.1.1r2
Will appreciate help.  So far, haven't found any help in searching the 
archives.

 My problem is that the substacks'  icon (in the components folder of
the data folder) is not represented by the Data type icon in the BNDL
resource.
How can I accomplish this?

I have no trouble in obtaining my custom icon for the application(OS 
PPC checked in builder).  I have a file for a BNDL resource (APPL and 
Data types and their associated icons created in ResEdit) which I use 
in  Distr Bldr-MacOS Options.

TIA

Hi Bob,

Have a look at the 'stackFileType' entry in the
Transcript Dictionary. Basically, it allows you to set
the 'Creator' and 'Type' 4-byte codes for stacks you
create.
For stacks you've created before or were placed in the
Data folder upon distribution-building, you can use
ResEdit or some other tool to change these codes
manually.
I believe there are a few utilities out there that can
automate this. Or you can write a simple AppleScript
droplet that changes these codes for you.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.

 Thank you for your explanation, Jeanne.
 
 Mach-O looks more ... à la Unix to me. Am I right?

My understanding is it's more of a compromise between the NeXT folks and the
Mac loyalists at Apple.  These two camps slugged it out heavily during the
evolution of NeXT into OS X, and some issues still have the long-term plan
remaining to be defined (such as the fate of creator codes).

By having folders that pretend to be applications, Apple can have bundled
resources and metadata without relying on the resource fork.  As a
Mac-specific feature, the dual-fork paradigm introduces new challenges when
porting from UNIX or NeXT.

While Classic is still supported the file system that understands resource
forks remains in place.  But with Mach-O bundles as the long-term solution,
resource forks will eventually be phased out.

Yes, the new Mach-O format does not require a resource fork, putting
resources and metadata into files within a folder and then having the folder
pretend to be an application (a bundle).

Hi Mike,

One way to accomplish this is by handling the 'tabKey'
message in your field script. Example to get you
started:

on tabKey
  if tab is in the value of the selectedline of me
then
beep
  else
pass tabKey
  end if
end tabkey

Puzzled with behaviour of a script of mine,works in IDE but not in standalone

2003-01-09 Thread Dave McKee
I have a button that uses the following script;

send delete this card to this card in 500 milliseconds

The button invokes the execution of this script in the stack itself.  It
works ok in the development environment BUT DOES NOT work in the standalone
application.

I'm willing to bet that I am not the first to experience this problem and
would appreciate any insights that direct me towards what I am missing or

PlayStopped called when setting the filename of a player (???)

2003-01-09 Thread Howard Bornstein
Ok, here's a strange one. Apparently the playstopped message is sent 
whenever you set the filename of a player to a file. Is it just me or 
does this not make any sense?

Try this:

create a player test
create a button with this script:

on mouseup
  answer file Select a file
  set the filename of player test to it
end mouseup

In the card script put:

on playstopped
  put I haven't even started
end playstopped

When you set the player to a filename, the playstopped script executes.

Why??

I would like to suggest that the policy of the list should be that off-topic
posts
pushing religious, moral or political views are banned.  They
have no place on a specialized list such as this one, can be offensive to those

that they can hector or chastise other people.

I have already been offended by some of the religious and moral views I have
seen propounded here, but because I do not think this list should be cluttered
with such discussions I have abstained from expressing my offence.

If the policy of the list remains that such off-topic discussions are
permitted, then I will not be so restrained in future, and the noise level on
the list will increase.  Furthermore, I shall feel free to spontaneously express
my moral and political views to the list, and no doubt others will then take
offence.

I suspect discussions of cheese and other comestibles may be unlikely to cause

background in the sense of backgroundBehaviour and background in the

Hi Bernard,

I commend you for following what I believe is the surest method of

When I attended my first Little League game, I came with the previous 
experience of participation in a summer softball league, where 
razzing was quite commonplace; so I spectated as I remembered it 
was done by the grown ups.  It didn't take but an inning or to for 
me to realize I was the only one mouthing off, and that my behavior 
was obviously considered inappropriate in this particular setting.

IMFO, if people (a) don't respond to posts of a nature or subject 
matter they don't want to see on the List and (b) take a conversation 
off list when only two or three members wish to continue it, the List

With the base cost of Director plus the cost of rewriting everything from

 Without QuickTime installed, Rev is supposed to use whatever multimedia

 multimedia playback at all *without* Windows Media (Player) software but
 you'd probably have to get a system with this setup and test on it.

code formats like Classic apps (CFM/PEF), Carbon/Cocoa, and Java.

For the runrev developers I imagine it opens up more possibilities for 
doing stuff with plugins, bundles, frameworks on OS X.

The advantage for us end users is that we will be able to write 
externals using Apple's free developer tools, and not have to use 
Codewarrior. Hurrah!

Speaking of externals, has anyone written an external for the 
eSellerate engine? check out eSellerate.net.

They have a nice C API which I've used. Currently they have included in 
their SDK the following Mac: *REALBasic*, Codewarrior; Win: C++ lib, 
ActiveX control.

eSellerate unofficially supports Apple Project Builder (gcc) and I've 
used the C API on Mac OS, in an Objective-C/Cocoa app. I'm sure it 
would be possible to write a Revolution external out of the SDK. 
However, eSellerate  is Mac and Win only, no Unix platforms.

. Just one example: create a document in Word and use full paragraph 
justification. Save the file as RTF. Now launch your favorite RTF editor 
(other than Word), open the RTF file created in Word, and lunch is on me 
if your full justified paragraphs are still full justified.

Miscdas, in which city is the booking please, or will you come to Oz for 
lunch :-) ?

David, 

Tel Aviv.(OK, so I can also make it Netanya or Rehovot, but NO WAY 
Jerusalem.) I stated only luch; transportation is on you...
