Hi Lars,
Rev is cross-platform and claims that you can build Windows apps from
Mac OS (or the opposite): as for the "process", that's true.
But I have to confess that I have never have been able to build a
satisfying stack without working again on the destination platform.
I am used to work on MacOS and my experience tells me that I need to
give between 10 and 20% of the spent time passed on MacOS to revise
it on a Windows machine to get a satisfying Win XP version.
In addition, you will have to solve some issues coming from
differences between the numerous Win versions: a stack that runs
correctly with XP will probably have some "cosmetic" problems (colors
display for instance) with Windows 2000.
Rev is cross-platform but always requires adjustments for each platform.
Best Regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.

I thank Richard, Eric and Robert for their concise expalnations and
help. Now that I have followed that advice (a different stack
with no script is now the mainStack) I'm happy as a clam. One more
thing though;
One of the reasons I made the major changes to my project was to
try to make the Windows version run better. I work on a Mac (OSX.
4.2) and was a little shocked to see the newest Windows
standalone. I hadn't done one for many months after I originally
convinced myself it would work in Windows. Now that the program
has grown and morphed into something far better and is nearing
completion, I made another Windows build. I always knew I would
need to buy Rev for Windows, at least to get the fonts looking
their "best," but I was a little disappointed when I launched it.
On my Mac it is flawless, but on windows, so many things flicker
and stacks in the backgound flash black when buttons are clicked in
other stacks. And my mainStack flickers black when I navigate in
it. Now, the background of the stack is black, and the mask that
provides the windowShape is black, so a black flash makes sense,
but why does it flash at all? I mean, sometines two side by side
buttons, whose icons were made in Photoshop and other than their
labels are indentical have tow different color shades!!! All of
this before AND after the mainStack script thing.
What can I expect from Rev for Windows? Does a windows standalone
built in Windows function better? Will I be able to solve these
problems working in Windows? Has anyone out there built an app on
a make and found this type of behavior in a windows sandalone? How
did you fix it? I have little Windows experience, heck, maybe it's
the machine (cheap HP laptog, XP Home, 1.4 ghz Celeron, enough memory)
Any advice before I shell out the cash for my second platform copy
of Rev?
As always, tips are appreciated, and in this case, being begged for!
