Hi there;
New to Rev and trying to get the hang of things, especially related to cross-platform issues. I'm developing on Mac OS X 10.2 and then building my standalones for Mac OS X, Windows and Mac OS PPC. My stacks are very simple, as I am not skilled at this stuff by any means. Using it to build a vocabulary drill program.
Here's the first issue:
I have a stack that has a card for each of the vocabulary words used. When each card is displayed, there is an image that hides the answer to the vocabulary word displayed. The user guesses the answer and then clicks a button to reveal the answer and play an audio file of the word being spoken. The button script in use is:
on mouseUp
play "VocabData/VocabAudio/L1Vocab36.aif"
hide image "AnswerBlock" with dissolve
end mouseUpSimple, no? The trouble is, the dissolve (and others elsewhere in the stack) works great on the Mac during development and on the Mac standalones, but I'm having some troubles when testing under Windows. Using Virtual PC with Windows XP and Windows 98, the dissolve works normally (though slowly under emulation) yet on the PC laptop I have here, the dissolves don't appear at all- there's just a delay during which the dissolve would normally occur then the "AnswerBlock" image is hidden without a visual effect. This is under Windows ME on an older Pentium 200MHz. Is this lack of dissolves due to Windows ME? Due to the slow processor on the laptop? Inquiring minds are looking for an answer.
Next Issue:
When running my standalone under Windows (all three flavors mentioned above), there is no tab in the Taskbar for my running application. Does this have anything to do with setting the decorations to empty?
Next issue:
I have several sub-stacks in my standalone. Under Windows, each of the substacks appears as a separate task under the Task Manager, as if multiple programs are running. Is this normal behavior? Is there a way to make substacks not appear separately?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
-Jason
