Dixie: thank you very much. That was very helpful!

Thanks, Dixie.

That definitely works. The code compiles without error, and the object is created.

Even though I can't see the object, I know it is there because its "handles" show up in edit mode.

I'm mystified as to why it's not showing up.

I'm setting the lineSize to 5; I'm setting the visible ...

Thanks, Dixie.

The following line...

set the style of the templateGraphic to line;

...produces a compilation error.

The lines shown below produce no compilation errors:

set the style of the templateGraphic to oval;
set the style of the templateGraphic to curve;

Hello.

Regarding the following handler...

on mouseUp
create graphic "new_line";
set the style of graphic "new_line" to xxxxx;
end mouseUp

...I'm finding that not all of the listed styles for a graphic object will allow compilation.

The following six styles will work: curve, oval, polygon ...

I've written a tiny, one-level space shooter game which, in a fit of creative branding, I've decided to call "Space Shooter 01".

Hi, Friends:

I wrote a tiny space shooter game as a practice exercise with Revolution. I'm giving it the unlikely name, "Space Shooter 01". Download it here.

Oh, thanks!

I didn't know that was a "best practice".

Actually, I might not adhere to that best practice with perfect fidelity. But if I fail to adhere to it, I will try to remember to acknowledge to readers that I'm neglecting ...

Thanks, friends.

I think that I'm going to do it in the following way.

(To review, myCustomFunction() resides in the script of button "B". I want to call this function from the script of button "A".)

In my particular application, program control need not return to button "A" after ...

Hi, friends:

In the script of button "A", I would like to call a user-written function that resides in the script of button "B". Is it possible to do that?

I have found that the following doesn't work:

Would it work if I put ...

Jan,

Just glancing at your code, I notice that most (if not all) variables have a single-character, lower-case prefix, such as "k", "s" or "t".

Is their a common convention that the experienced Rev programmers follow?

Hi, Friends!

I'm a new Rev programmer, which I think will become apparent very quickly as I ask questions.

Basically, I'm interested in writing games where multiple objects are moving simultaneously. I intend to drive this movement within a repeat loop, which is contained within a mouseUp handler ...
