Hi Martin,
My first thought is that it is not the standalone builder which
causes the problem. If you suspect something is wrong with the path,
why don't you just include a check for that in your scripts?
if there is a file thePathToYourFile then
-- read data etc
else
beep
answer error "Sorry, the file could not be found."
end if
Probably, correct error handling may help you here. You could check
the result after each attempt to access a file. I assume that the
sliders don't work because the data is not loaded correctly, while
you don't check that the file could be accessed and correct data has
been read.
If you check the result after each attempt to access the file, you
should have a script like this:
function readData theFile,theIdentifier
open file theFile for read
put the result into rslt
read from file theFile until EOF
if the result is not empty them put cr & the result after rslt
close file theFile
if rslt is not empty then
return "Error:" & cr & rslt -- error 1
else
put it into myData
if char 1 to length(theIdentifier) of myData is theIdentifier then
return myData
else
set the itemDel to slash
return "Error: the file" && last item of theFile && ¬
"cannot be read." -- error 2
end if
end if
end readData
This is just an example. You can alter the check for correct data in
any feasible way, e.g. by checking the number of lines in a file or
the presence of a particular string. If error 1 occurs, you may want
to check that the path tot he file is correct or possibly that the
defaultfolder or directory has been set correctly. If error 2 occurs,
maybe something went wrong when you copied the files to the intel
Mac. In the case of the latter, you might want to compare the files
on both computers:
on test
answer file "Choose a file..."
if it is not empty then
put it into myFile
open file myFile for binary read
read from file myFile until EOF
put it into fld 1
close file myFile
end if
end test
Include this script in a new stack with 1 field and run the script.
Choose the file when the file dialog appears and open it. Do this on
both computers and see if there is any difference.
If the test that appears in the text fields, you should probably do a
test with the sliders. Do the sliders work if you make a new stack,
save the thumbPos values to a file, reset the sliders, open the file
again and set the thumbPos values using the data from the file? If
not, which script do you use to set the thumbPositions?
Best,
Mark

Hi
I've got a stack I can tax my students in terms of different
language skills with (sliders, text fields in combination with
sliders). The program runs very fast on my PowerPC, OS 10.3.9. I
store the data of each student in textfiles. They are reloadable in
my taxation panel.
If I use Revolution 2.7.2 and have a standalone for the intel-32
processor built , the program runs sufficiently, that means, it's
slower than on the PowerPC, but every feature of the program works
as I want it to do.
If I use Revolution 2.7.3, it seems to be faster, but storing data
doesn't work anymore. There must be something wrong with the path,
and the sliders in combination with the textfields don't work
anymore. You can enter data into the texfields using the ask
dialogue, but the thumbposition of the sliders don't change.
What's wrong here? Has anybody had the same or other problems with
the Rev.2.7.3. standalone builder?
Martin
