Hi Brad,
Hi,
I'm a new user but not new to card-based scripting (Hypercard in
'87). I'm a professional multimedia developer with numerous
interactive CDs authored in Director. I can't stand Director (and
Macromedia's attitude in general) so I'm planning to do my next
project in RR. I've got a few questions:
a very wise decision :-)
1) I want to populate a pulldown menu with choices from the user's
font menu. I'm sure there's a one-line command to do this (that's
what I love about RR) but I can't find it.
"the fontnames" :-)
on preopencard
put the fontnames into btn "my font menu"
end preopencard
2) I'd like to be able to include pre-build animations in my
program. RR supports Flash swf through QuickTime, but I've had
limited success. Has anyone documented the limitations on this
capability?
QT only supports SWF files made with Flash >= version 5.
And only half-heartedly :-/
Is it possible to send variables between RR and a SWF file?
Sorry, no idea.
Do plain-vanilla (no movie clips) timeline-based animations play
reliably in RR?
Test, test, test!
3) If SWF animations don't work, is there another way to
incorporate vector-based animation built in another program?
I would recommend to use Chipp's wonderful "altBrowser" external,
which lets you display a
internet browser window on your card, which can play ALL SWF files
then :-)

Has anybody used LiveStage to produce animations for import into RR?
Livestage output MOV files, but not all interactivity will be
accesible within Rev...
Any comments, Trevor? ;-)
4) Does RR or any 3rd party plug-in enable font embedding?
Alternatively, how difficult is it to include a freeware Unicode
font through an RR installer?
If just copying the font to the correct folder on the users HD will
be enough, then it is not difficult :-)
I'm looking forward to developing in RR, as it's just so much
easier to work with than anything else I've used. TIA for your help.
Brad
Hope that helps...
Best from germany
