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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

constant cItems = "Alpha 200, Beta 100, Charlie 300, Delta 400, Alpha 100, Charlie 300"

on mouseUp
set the itemDelimiter to comma
put empty into tArray
repeat for each item tItem in cItems
put word 1 of tItem into tKey
if tArray[tKey] is empty then
put 0 into tArray[tKey]
end if
add word 2 ...

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 ...

An even cleaner version, without the loop to initialize the array ...

constant cArrayValues = "22,88,78,80,102,96,77,122,114,118,169,159,158,105,76,52,81,52,132,82,110,106"

on mouseUp
-- Initialize array to values
put cArrayValues into tArray
split tArray by comma
-- tArray now has the values ...

constant cArrayValues = "22,88,78,80,102,96,77,122,114,118,169,159,158,105,76,52,81,52,132,82,110,106"

on mouseUp
-- Initialize array to values
set the itemDelimiter to comma
put empty into tArray
put 1 into tArrayIndex
repeat for each item tNum in cArrayValues
put tNum into tArray ...

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 should have said "Are these variables initialized in another handler (command or function) within your script".

command = "on ...

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 ...

Try this ...

on mouseUp
put 19 into myArray[5]
put 29 into myArray[4]
put 39 into myArray[3]
put 49 into myArray[2]
put 59 into myArray[1]
combine myArray by row
put myArray & cr & 29 && "is in array element" && lineOffset(29, myArray)
end mouseUp

I also wonder what happened to "RevOnRockets"?

It was highly touted prior to "runrevlive.08" and even had a download link in the February edition of the "Runtime Revolution Newsletter":

RevOnRockets is *supposed* to be here ...

Thanks for the offer for the beers, but I don't drink. How about a couple of tickets for an Alaskan cruise? My wife would be very appreciative.

Did you notice that we both registered the same day? 10 Apr 2006

Karma, and all that stuff.
