I am one of those COMPLETELY non-programming people trying to use Revolution to develop a good idea into an inexpensive commercial product. The manual is currently unavailable (I will buy a copy the second it is available and am waiting to hear about any 3rd party books on Revolution!) and I have 2 absolute beginner's questions:
1. Is there a way to hide multiple objects without a line for each one in the handler? If I have to have a code line for each object and there are 8 fields and 8 buttons on each card, the stack gets real big real fast. I've tried
hide field 1,2,3,etc hide fields 1,2,3,etc hide field 1-8 hide fields1-8
and so far nothing works. I obviously have no clue about code syntax!
I also tried grouping themand hiding the group, but when other handlers need to show individual objects, it either doesn't work or I need to ungroup the group and am right back where I started! Can anyone help me?
2. Is there a way to build a feature into a stack so that once the stack is a standalone and installed from a disk it requires the disk it was installed from to be present in the drive in order to continue?
I don't know whether what I am saying makes sense, I just know that lots of reference works that are installed on my machine require that I insert the disk they came on in order to use them. I would like my app to do the same. Is there a stack script that creates a message to the user like "Please insert disk "xyz" to continue?"
Revolution is terrific and I think I have some pretty simple yet interesting ideas and am making good progress, but until there is a comprehensive manual available, slogans like "software development without knowlege of code writing" aren't quite accurate. Some of us know literally NOTHING and struggle with Revolution even though it is well designed and made for simplicity!
Thanks a million!
