Arrays in Revolution

I just wrote a cool library for working with arrays and matrices. Even if you don't use arrays too often, I encourage you to check it out. It has useful functions like Push, and its split and join functions don't mess with your strings the way the built-in functions do. I also wrote functions for

[ANN: plugin] SmartNotes - context-sensitive 'sticky' notes for Revolution

Dear Revolutionaries, I'd like to announce a new plugin for the Rev IDE - SmartNotes! SmartNotes allows you to create and manage context-sensitive 'sticky' notes in Revoution. By context-sensitive I mean that you can associate individual notes with any stack (mainstack or substack) or Revoluti

Choppy video?

I am in the process of writing an application that displays AVI video loops, each a second or two in duration. When the video plays back, it appears that some of the frames are being skipped, and I get a choppy appearance. The playback machine is a 3 GHz Pentium with 1GB of memory, so I

RE: modal stack "Prompt"

It is consistent with the way the message path works, and I can envision situations where you would need this sort of behavior - such as if you had an app that created many stacks on the fly, and needed to do something when one of those stacks was opened. However, it can still cause problems. Be e

Re: modal stack "Prompt"

That seems to be what it was. That is rather esoteric behavior. I think the main stack was catching a preOpenCard or OpenCard, but the substack that did the modal command also had those. I added empty preOpenStack, openCard and preOpenCard handlers and that seems to have solved the problem.

Re: modal stack "Prompt"

Since no Rev-pro has stepped up to bat on this one, I'll hesitatingly venture a suggestion... Is there an "on openStack" or "on preOpenStack" handler in the "Prompt" substack? The reason I ask is that, when any stack first opens, I think an "openStack" message is generated. Thus, if the "Prompt"
