You could just insert the following line somewhere in your handler: "wait for 5 milliseconds with messages". This should permit other handlers to start while just creating a small lag in the bouncing animation. Or a more fancy way of controlling a looping handler would be like this: on stopAnimateLo...

I see two other ways of achieving the same result, that might be better. First, as this happens to be HTML, you could use a trick by setting the HTMLText of a field like this: function extractValue tLine set the htmltext of field "tempField" to tLine return field "tempField" end extractValue And her...

Unfortunatly once compiled into a standalone, the mainstack is unmodifiable. Usually what I do to store the user's changes, is to use a preference file placed in the preference folder or (only on OS X) inside the application bundle. My scripts for doing this can be found in this post . Here is an ex...

Make a variable that counts the number of "MouseUp" and discards the second one. Not much of a solution, I know : )

Depends on how the site is made. Sometimes it's just a matter of executing a "POST" command to the site in question. Othertimes, it can be more tricky; for instance I remember doing it for a site that had a timestamp imbedded in the page which you had to find and send back to log in. I can give you ...

You don't actually need to call each object the correct type. Whenever it's a button, a group, an image, they will all respond to the nomination "CONTROL". So basically you can always just write all the time:

Sweet. Exactly what I needed.
Nice work and thanks a lot !

For OS X, I like to store the pref file inside the application bundle. If it intrests anyone here are my script for handeling preference file generation and retrival: on preOpenStack determinePrefPath readPrefFile insertPrefValues end preOpenStack on closeStack determinePrefPath generatePrefs writeP...

Mark: yup you are right. Automation and less work for the user is always good. I just wanted to point out to stu that an installer isn't mandatory with rev programs. Your first post could have misguided him.

Cheers, xApple.

Rev standalones don't need to be installed. Just copy the ".exe" file to somewhere convenient on your hard disk and launch it.

Cheers.

Note that this is not required. the itemdelimeter is automatically reset to the default (",") when the handler finishes executing. Cf the doc "Since the itemDelimiter is a local property, its value is reset to comma when the current handler finishes executing. It retains its value only for the curr...

With the latest 2.8 I've had problems exporting snapshots when the rectangle was of a certain size and located on my second screen. It would cause an execution error : (
