Re: Revolution for Palm or PocketPC

2002-01-30 Thread Roger . E . Eller
Wouldn't it be great if we could program in TranScript for PalmOS and PocketPC too? :-) We're looking at these, though Palm really has a very different OS so is most unlikely. However the other one wouldn't be so hard and might well happen if we get enough requests. Kind regards,

Using a graphic instead of the standard window shape

2002-02-03 Thread Roger . E . Eller
Hello, Does anyone know if it is possible to use a graphic image (gif, jpg, etc.) as the actual window of a stack? What I have in mind is similar to Windows Media Player's skins. In other words, I don't want the window to have sharp corners. Thanks in advance. ~Roger Eller [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Standalone -vs- RevPlayer

2002-03-06 Thread Roger . E . Eller
Hey Guys, I was wondering if a generic standalone could be made that would run any .rev stack. This approach would be similar to how HyperCard has a player app that will run most HC stacks. It just seems that we are putting so much redundant data in standalones. Two megs per app begins to add

Importing TIF graphics

2002-03-14 Thread Roger . E . Eller
Apparently, Rev doesn't support the TIF graphic format. Does anyone know how to convert TIF files to any supported format through scripting? Or can someone recommend a DOS-based tool to do this via shell commands passed from Rev? This needs to work primarily in a PC running Windows. Thanks.

from my experience you have to wait until the visual is done anyway ;-) Can't remember any case where a script was executed during a visual effect. hmmm... And I would like to do just that. I want a small animated gif to play while a script gets the files in a folder. The busy cursor is

Robin, Something like this could be used to control the text size of buttons or fields after the stack has been resized, still using geometry to control the button sizes themselves. on postResizeStack repeat with i = 1 to the number of buttons of this card if the width of btn i = 170

Jerry, Yes, it is easy to do this. Any graphic image (gif, jpg, png, maybe others) that you import as a control, view it's properties and make a note of it's ID number. Then type into a script or the message box... set the backdrop to 1013 -- actual image ID number Roger Eller [EMAIL

Re: Question about backgrounds

2002-09-21 Thread Roger . E . Eller
Nate, I also started with HyperCard. I also found the differences between Rev and HC to be an annoyance until I got more accustomed to the differences. Rev is definitely more powerful and versatile. The easiest way to simulate HC backgrounds is to start with a clean new stack. Build all of the

Specifying a point of origin

2002-10-22 Thread Roger . E . Eller
I am building a Rev app that reads CAD-like files (text based), and uses X Y coordinates to visualize the drawing on screen. This is being done by creating graphic lines, polygons, ovals, and rectangles. It works perfectly except for one problem. Because the point of origin (0,0) is at the

Re: Specifying a point of origin

Probably the simplest approch would be to subtract the y coordinate from the height of the stack for each point -- could be done in a loop fairly quickly. Thanks Richard! That did the trick. I should have figured that one out, but you know how it is after the 12th hour of writing code.
