Kevin, Jacque, et al:

Having example
code is great, but I would love to go to a player object section and see
everything I can do with a player, for instance.

If you have an older version of Revolution you can do what I do: fire it up, select Rev Dictionary, and use the "Show" pulldown to select the category (eg: messages, properties, etc.) and the control type (eg: field, button, image, etc.) to see all the messages/properties/etc. relating to the type of control I selected.

I use that section of help more than any other, and IMFO Rev documentation took a _big_ step backwards when that feature was removed.


A new heading and column will appear for your chosen object. All keywords that relate to that object will be checkmarked in its column. You can see them more easily by clicking on the column header so that they are all sorted together.

Then just read everything. :)

This does not provide the same quick answer to questions like "what properties does an image have?" or "what messages are sent to a button?".

I'd really like to see the "Show" pulldown back in the Dictionary.
