Re: Initialization Error - failed to load external?

I'm having the same problem -- "failed to load external" First of all, it's frustrating to have a message like that display when it doesn't identify the external it's trying to load. This error didn't happen in prior versions (6.1 and prior). It also doesn't happen in 7.0.3, but it does happen in 7....

revOnline -- Login/out

My revOnline session shows me as: "You are logged in as" [with no user id] When I try to log out to correct that glitch, it says "Failed to log out" So, how do I "log out", so I can "log in" ?? "My Account" shows empty. No email, no company, etc. The lower left corner shows: "RevOnline | No connecti...

Web based portfolio

I need to build a web-based portfolio of art. It looks like "Portfolio Builder" might provide the basics, upon which I could build a CGI interface.

So, where is "Portfolio Builder"?

Also, I expected there to be a simple example of this somewhere. Did I miss something?

The beta forum is still accessible to me. Whatever, here's the post: I have an app that fails in 3.0, but worked fine in 2.9. The returned value from "clickText" has changed. According to the doc: A word, for purposes of the clickText, is any text delimited by spaces, tabs, returns, or punctuation. ...

No response on the Beta forum, so I'll post a link to it here.

Try this for a more generic approach. Note that I added a final "1,0" to cause the error condition. It looks better without the testing code, but it's there for you to verify the solution. constant cItems = "3,1,2,1,3,3,3,3,3,2,2,1,3,1,2,2,1,1,3,1,0" on mouseUp set the itemDelimiter to comma -- Buil...

The code at the following link is an approach that will handle the area of irregular polygons of various shapes. It does a good job of explaining the concept, complete with pictures. No Rev code, though. Anybody who wants to implement this and share their code is welcome to do so. I might give it a ...

You need to specify the type of data it's sorting on if you're sorting something other than text.

From the Rev doc:
sort [{lines | items} of] container [direction] [sortType] [by sortKey]

The sortType is one of text, numeric, or dateTime. If you don't specify a sortType, the sort is by text.

That's what I meant by: "Are these variables initialized in another script? If so, they need to be defined as locals." I was incorrect with my terminology, sorry.

I was able to recreate your error, as you stated. It all works fine if the variables have values in them. Are these variables initialized in another script? If so, they need to be defined as locals. Put the following into your script prior to the first add, and everything works fine: put 0 into L1 p...
