I've just noticed this in Rev docs:
>>> Important! When you install a new external by setting a stack's externals property, Revolution cannot use it until you either quit Revolution and then reopen the stack, or close the stack (after setting its destroyWindow property to true) and then reopen it. <<<
I might be being really dense here, but how does this apply to standalone? If the standalone has only one stack, how can I close then reopen it? (Sorry, I'm new to this stuff!) Is there some kind of regime for installing/initializing externals that isn't obvious in the docs?
Starting to get very frustrated with this!

p.s. I think I *am* on latest version of Rev. It says 2.5B1 in "About" box, but 2.6.2.77 with "Get info"...

I need some advice on how to get speech working in a standalone app. I'm working on a (for me) big video script-writing utility that I want to feature a preview facility using text-to-speech. (OS X only)Some versions of Rev had a problem copying OS X externals to the applications and then sometimes wouldn't even use them if you copied them manually.
Now... speech works easily in development version running with Rev, but when I build a standalone, it fails.
Here is a simple rev stack with one button and one field: www.chriscd.dsl.pipex.com/Speech_test.zip
The development stack works fine.
The OS X app doesn't work. I *did* select speech as an option in standalone maker, but no external resources seem to be copied over. I note that on the Windows side, "revspeech.dll" gets copied to destination. Should there not be some kind of OS X equivalent (presumably, "revspeech.bundle" ?) I tried manually copying this file to the application root, but still nothing. What am I doing wrong?
You need to open the OS X application bundle after it is built - right-click or control-click on the application and choose "Show Package Contents". Burrow down through the folders: Contents -> MacOS -> externals
I would guess that the externals folder is empty - copy the revspeech.bundle manually to this folder and try it again. If this still doesn't work, alter your "enableLibraries" handler to point to the right place and see if that helps.
Upgrading to the latest version of Rev will also solve this :-)
Cheers, Sarah
