Hi Homer, if Rev does not find the object(s) on the current card, why not give Rev some hints? That would be fair :-) Like this: ... get the thumbPosition of scrollbar "Slider02" OF CD X put it into fld "myRate02A" OF CD Y --put it into myRate03 get fld "myRate02A" OF CD Z ... send mouseUp to button...

Hi Timothy, you can controil what radiobutton gets hilited in a group by simply settting: 1. the hilitedbuttonname of grp xyz to "name of btn 2 be hilited" or 2. the hilitedbutton of grp XYZ to NUMBER _OF_BTN... When you do this, the other radiobuttons in that group will automatically get unhilited,...

Well, a copy of Parallels and WinXP...*** Oh yes, and RAM, RAM, RAM! And RAM! I put 2 GB into my Mini and now everything is fine :-) ***You can also install "BootCamp", free from Apple, and install XP natively on an extra partition of your HD. But then you will have to boot into Win OR Mac, with Par...

Hi Alan, you could try to get a used Mac Mini, so you can use any monitor and (pc) keyboard you might have. I am also using a Mac Mini, the smallest model 1.66 Ghz CoreDuo, that I bought a couple of months ago and run Win XP via Parallels which is definitively faster than my old "real" PC :-) Regard...

Hi Alan,

there may be some ugly hacks available on the net, but to do so is not supported by Apple and definitvely illegal!

P.S.
Get a Mac, install also Windows on it (native via "BootCamp" or virtual via "Parallels" or whatever...) and be a happy crossplatform developer

Hi Mark,

yes, I am always using MetaCard
But this works for me even if I let REV build my standalones!

Dag Mark,

hmmm, in the "startup" handler?
This is the official palce to do so...

I do this all the time in my apps and it always worked for me...?

Salaam Pradeep, in that case you can use this handler right after the dll has been downloaded (succesfully ;-)): on create_externals_stack_and_use_it_right_away put defaultFolder &"/My Data/" into DataFolderPath put DataFolderPath & "revxml.dll" into myDLLfilePath create invisible stack "Externals L...

Dag MArk, salaam Pradeep, The "startup" handler is the only place where you can set the external of your mainstack and then can use the externals afterwards, so messing around with a substack is not necessary! So this is all you need: on startUp put defaultFolder &"/My Data/" into DataFolderPath put...

Hi proza, constants are local! So you can put them on the top of a script and use it in any handler in that script, as you already found out ;-) Globals are erm global... You can declare them anywhere and anytime you want and they are valid and accessible in THAT very moment. But you have to tell th...

Hi Paul,

very strange, will have to guess...

Any "keydown/keyup" script somewhere that my prevent the text entry?
Any other object with its "ink" set to "noop" or its "blendlevel" set to 100 in front of the field(s)?

Sorry, no other ideas...

Hi Kai, the blendlevel approach will be the better (crossplatform) choice, since the nice dissolve (a "fade out" actually) effect you see on the mac relies on QuickTime! If QT is not installed (on windows) you will get this boring and ugly pixel dissolve effect you may know from Director. You can ch...

Hola selvabits, to make it clear: run mode = browse (NOT edit) mode edit mode = edit! mode ... if the tool = "browse tool" then ## you are in browse mode ## do your browse thingie else ## in this case "THE TOOL" = "pointer tool" ## you are in edit mode ## do your edit thingie end if ...

Hi Kai,
