You can change the card's number:

set the number of this cd to 4

The only difficulty with the screenRect is that it returns the full physical size of the monitor, and doesn't take into account the menu bar and Dock on OS X or the Task Bar on Windows.

To get the screenRect adjusted for these trimmings, use the windowBoundingRect.

set the mainstack of stack <substackname> to <newmainstackname>

I used to print out everything, but in recent years do other things for code review and archiving.

What do you do with printed code?

FWIW, I just learned something about working with DreamHost servers which may save some of you some time: Apparently if your file ends in suffixes other than ".cgi", rather than execute it'll just return the file's contents. This is true even when the execute bit is set correctly for the file's perm...

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?
