I am hopefully completing my project and I cannot find how to set
up an 'About" box.
Could someone point me the way?
Many thanks
Hi Paul,
An About box can be a simple "answer" dialog, or it can be a separate
stack. In your Help menu script, you need to check for the user
picking "About" and either go to your About stack or "answer" the
details.

Hi Sarah
I wasn't too clear I think.
I am needing to know how to get my 'About window'( that lists the
authors, version, credits, etc.) to open when the user picks the
'About ProjectName' under the name of the application beside the
apple icon on the Mac menu bar. The standalone has the 'About
' (without the name of the project) on the menu but I do not know
how to get into the script for the menu to tell it to open my
'About' window and to add the menu name. I think it must be
something simple that I have not discovered.
In Revolution, go to the Help menu and choose Topics -> Menus & the
menubar.
This gives you a good explanation of what happens to menus in OS X as
Rev shuffles them around to comply with Apple's guidelines.
Basically, for the About menuitem, you create it and script it as
part of the Help menu. Then Rev moves it to the application menu, but
it's scripting still needs to be in the Help menu.
However it now occurs to me that you may not have created a menubar
but may be using the minimal menu that is created by default for any
OS X application. You need to go to Rev's Tools menu and choose Menu
Builder. This will allow you to create a menu and you can then edit
the name of the About.. menuitem and script for it.
HTH,
Sarah
