Hi Michael,

That did the trick! Thanks for your help.

Hi, I'm writing a little app that requires multiple timers on the same card. This is the code i have in a 'Start' button: local tMin1, tSec1 on mouseUp if the label of me is "Start" then set the label of me to "Stop" put 0 into tMin1 put 0 into tSec1 repeat while the label of me is "Stop" wait 1 sec...

I think Apple's decision is not unexpected but very disappointing. It's not unexpected because Jobs is a control freak. On one hand this approach has definitely contributed to the success of Apple products since his return, but of course there is a bad side also (as we are now experiencing). But i f...

Hi,

Is there a way for background processes to continue while the user responds to an "answer" dialog box? I have a clock running in the background that stops when the answer dialogue box pops up. I have included 'with messages' in the clock script.

Hi Klaus,

That worked! Brilliant, thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Hi Klaus, I've read the PDF but it is not clear how to transform that information into actual code. I've tried setting the code to the below (for saving and retrieving, respectively), but it doesn't work. put tResultsField into URL "file:/home/documents/saveddata.txt" put URL "file:/home/documents/d...

How might i go about saving data before the app quits? and then loading the data again the next time the app opens?

Hi mweider, Here's my countdown code. See anything that might cause the problem? on mouseup global tScore, tTime put empty into tScore put 0 into field "scoreField" repeat with tTime = 30 down to 0 put tTime into field "timeField" if tTime = 0 then wait 0 seconds with messages else wait 1 second wit...

Hi Klaus,

Thanks, but the variable type does not affect the wait statement. The same 'error' occurs whether they are global or local. Any more thoughts?

Hi, I have the following code associated with an icon. When the user hits the icon it disappears, randomly sets a new location and then shows itself. This happens while a countdown from 30 seconds to 0 occurs. When i don't have a 'wait' command it works fine. However, with the wait command inserted ...

Hi Klaus and BvG,

Thanks for your excellent code examples! I tried both methods and both work. Thank you also for the code comments among the code...they really help to understand what the script is doing.

Thanks again!

I am in the early stages of learning revTalk so sorry for this basic question... I have a group with two check boxes (Yes and No). On selection I want to display some text in a field. There are four possible combinations (Yes only, No only, both Yes and No, and neither). At the moment i can get the ...

Hi Robert, Thanks for that. I've created two scripts on the main stack. The first loads each file into its respective variable. If there is no folder (on first launch of the app) then the default value of the scrollbar is loaded into the variable. The second 'on closestack' script creates the folder...

I've read the tutorial on saving data (http://www.revjournal.com/tutorials/saving_data_in_revolution.html), but i'm not sure where to put the code: put the filename of this stack into tPath set the itemDelimiter to "/" put "DateTime folder/" into last item of tPath if there is not a folder tPath the...

Robert,

I thought Rev had a standard image that would load? Hence, the URL to that gif on their website. Are you saying i need to create my own image? What's happened to theirs?
