Re: Simultaneous embedded audioclips

I found this.. If you start playing an audio clip when another one is playing, the first audio clip is stopped, and a playStopped message is sent to the current card. You cannot play two sounds at the same time, nor can you queue a sound while another sound is playing. Its Sounds to me like you can'...

Thanks so much for all your help. I have 1 or 2 more things to clear up, but have a test stack working and much simpler than before. I have 2 more questions if you don't mind. If I set things up so I can build a formula up using placeholders for where user supplied data will be placed, is there a wa...

switch vs .. not sure what to call it.

I've been working on an app lately that runs a handler after clicking in a list, based on the text in the list. Its setup using switch and case. Would it make sense/be more efficent to drop the text in question into a variable sans spaces, and have all my handlers/functions named that way? What I me...

Figured it out sorta

Ah k, just realized that I have to click on the dawer itself somewhere or force a focus change before the tooltip will work.

DOH!

So my modified question is, is there a simple way to make all tooltips show, no matter which stack/card etc is active at the time?

Tooltips in a drawer

Hey, got a quick question about a stack that I want to drawer. When I set a button tooltip for a button on the stack, the tooltip works fine till I pop it out as a drawer, then the tooltip no longer works. I assume this has something to do with it being treated as a pallet? How do I restore the tool...

Re: Is there an equivalent in Revolution to "c = c +1&q

I'm very very new at this (started yesterday pretty much) but heres a couple examples that are close to what you want. put 10 in temp add 10 to temp temp has 20 now. Not quite as shorthand as the other method, but pretty short. I didn't try it, but suspect if you didn't initialize a value for temp t...
