I understand what you are saying, Mark - allow me to rephrase my question:

Why would the code "after" the send not execute (I was sending immediately)? Are these immediate messages implemented as blocking calls?

Kai

Does Rev using blocking (synchronous) messaging?

Just debugged a piece of code that sends a mouseUp to a button before doing a few more things. I had accidentally disabled the button and then the code after the send did not get executed anymore....

TIA,
Kai

Look at screenRect() and screenLoc() - (and their "See Also"s) - they should take you there...

Thanks Mark - that seems to do the trick!

Mark ~

can't tell you about differences between ID and standalone since I am developing on a MacMini and a 21 inch with 1600 x 1200 but deploying on an iMac with 1400 x 900 (among others).

No menubars.

Simple "set the loc of this stack to the screenloc"...

Kai

Sure - systemWindow is your friend.

HTH,

go east from Greenwich (GMT) until you hit India (or a country in the north of it) and there's the GMT +5 timezone

I'll take your word for it.

The docs are poorly written in part! In the example stated, if see a line saying ...'in window "Part 2" I infer that this refers to a second window.

That's just the way my brain works.

Guess I will take your blendlevel approach then - thanks!

Kai

Then how would you interpret this? The visual effect command affects only navigation within a window. If you want to create a transition effect when moving between stacks, use the go...in window form of the go command: visual effect wipe down go stack "Index" in window "Part 2" -- replaces stack on ...

Not working - what am I doing wrong. Docs say to use 'go .. in window' in this case - at least that's how I interpret it.

Excellent explanation - but then the Rev people really need to clearly mark these cases in the documentation - I certainly thought I was dealing with predefined constants (which they really could - and should? - be)

Thanks,
Kai

Yes, Malte, indeed I have. But what's the solution then? I do not understand how these things relate? If, for instance, the 'dissolve' is really a variable parameter it must already be defined for the engine to act upon it. So why would the engine bitch about it (irregardless of these settings)? TIA...

That's what I thought!

Does anyone else see this? Maybe my Rev install got damaged somehow?
Which files should yield which checksums?

Thanks for any help
