Thanks Trevor
It took me a while but I was able to make it work.
And as you said, the space was necessary to create an empty key.

Thanks to your help I am already getting a URL to open a Rev App
and pass some parameters. But only on Mac OS X.
Now I want to do the same on Windows. Trevor told me how to receive
parameters (thanks again) but first I need to change the registry
in order for Windows to launch the application when the URL is
called.
I found that Rev already has a function called setRegistry(). But
it seems to be a very delicate procedure and I want to know if any
of you have done this same surgery before.
As far as I know I need to do the following:
- Add a new key to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT called 'myprog'
- Add an empty string to this key called 'URL Protocol'
- Add the sub-keys: \shell\open\command
- Set the value of the default string inside the command key to: "
c:\my prog\prog.exe %1"
Andres,
This is a pretty standard modification to the registry so don't be
scared :-)
Here is an example that registers an app to process a url protocol.
Note that I am setting ssurl\URL Protocol to a space. This is
because Rev deletes registry keys if you set the key to an empty
value. I'm not sure if that is the wisest way to go about it but
that is what Rev does. In any case the protocol still works with the
value set to space.
on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
put "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\" into thePrefix
put setregistry(thePrefix & "myurl\", "URL:Alert Protocol") into
wasSuccessful
put setregistry(thePrefix & "myurl\URL Protocol", " ") into
wasSuccessful
put setregistry(thePrefix & "myurl\shell\open\command\", \
quote & "C:\Program Files\ScreenSteps\ScreenSteps.exe" &
quote && quote & "%1" & quote) into wasSuccessful
end mouseUp
