Joe, One of the great things about Rev, is you can program at whatever complexity level you feel comfortable with.
I have a number of 'black box' functions and handlers, that even I can't easily make sense of as they were programmed years ago and do layers of image compositing and pixel offsetting to create my own bitmapped fonts. Since they are encapsulated in functions, I can use them with a simple call. In fact, I have quite a few libraries like this, which are basically 'wrappers' around much more complicated code. That's the beauty of it all. You can use a handler or function in such a way you don't need to understand the inner workings of it, only how it's called--and what it returns. In fact Ken Ray has such a library available now for public consumption. It's called Revolution stdLib and has some simple and not so simple handlers and functions. The full list of functions/commands is at the following Wiki page on the Sons of Thunder web site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.RevolutionStdLib Even though you may not understand the how of the functions, I imagine you would be able to use them. Another great example is libURL which comes with Rev and is written entirely with Transcript. It allows you to connect to the internet and access web and ftp servers. I doubt many can fully understand the genius which Dave Cragg has created there, but we all use it every day. -Chipp On 5/28/07, Joe Lewis Wilkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
If this is the evolving direction of Rev, it is the wrong one. Just MHO.
