Transition effects operate within a given window. In Revolution stacks are contained within windows, and the windows are considered a separate entity. This allows you to "go" from one stack to another within the same window. So to go from one stack to another in the same window you could use: visual...

Mark, you rock.

Looking forward to the spiffy new build....

Way cool, Mark.

What would be needed to also generate wave forms from MP3 files?

You can make a standalone that runs any number of documents (stacks). What are you looking to do?

Historically, I've used DMGs on Mac (which can be made with Disk Utility, included with OS X), and a full installer on Windows using Wise Install (which is less expensive and IMO easier to use than InstallShield, and has far more options than I've needed). But like Mark and others, I'm migrating to ...

The greatest expense in choosing a proprietary language isn't the purchase price, it's the cost of learning the language.

Nothing teaches like a good example.

Sharing Media's excellent templates with customers who pay many times more increase adoption by decreasing the learning curve.

It's my understanding that Rev Media is not so much a low end product as the earlier Dreamcard was supposed to be, but is rather a focused product on media design so it includes templates focused in that area only. Since the templates are compatible with Rev Studio and Rev Enterprise, why aren't th...

I think that the slideshow template is in RevMedia. I'm using RevStudio It's not also in Studio? What vendor would design a product line where the low-end product has extra features missing from the higher-end product? I'm sure you could just write support for a copy. It would seem really silly not...

I thought Rev shipped with a template for slide shows, no?

Also, one difficulty in using "send" to route messages to scripts outside of the message path is that it's quite slower than the natural message path. For occasional use the performance penalty of "send" isn't much, but I tend toward solutions that go with the grain of the message path whenever pos...

scripts outside the message path would require a custom solution. Surprisingly, it doesn't. The solution is very generic and no more than 50 lines of code. I didn't say it would necessarily be long, merely that it would require a custom handler, such as the one you've written to handle your specifi...

For Mac software sites, don't forget one of the most comprehensive and arguably most up-to-date: http://www.versiontracker.com They're amazingly timely. On many occasions I'll update my site when I post a new version, and then log on to Version Tracker less than an hour later to update my listings t...

1) Has anyone developed applications to pre- or post-process HC stacks? I really do not want to reinvent the wheel here. I don't know of one, but there are global search-and-replace tools available. 2) Is there a way for me to gain control over the RV conversion of HC stacks during the open stack s...

A problem I have with frontscripts and backscripts is that they encourage you to pack huge quantitites of script in a single file. Quite bad for legibility and maintenance. Even worst for encouraging good coding practices (strict independence of functions, etc.). Not necessarily. In an imperfect wo...
