script editor window on drugs

My script editor window opens too high, not allowing me access to the top menu buttons. Is there any way to set the loc of the script editor window?

Nope... you have to buy a new computer now ;-)

But you might also try to execute this from the messagebox:

set the top of stack "revNewScriptEditor #" to 100

where # is a number. You will find the correct name and the number of your instance of the script editor in the application browser, if you select Revolution UI Elements In Lists in the View menu.

Best,

Mark

Thanks, Mark.

Yes, to clarify, it's the number of the card of the stack.

As an alternative, there is a tangerine iMac on Craigslist available.

Hi Max,

It isn't the number of the card. It is the number of the script editor stack, which is part of the name of the stack.

Best,

Mark

Hi Max,

You can also try this...

Open up the Messagebox. Make sure your mouse is hovering over the script editor and execute these 2 lines in the Messagebox:

Code: Select all

set the height of the mousestack to 200
set the loc of the mousestack to the screenloc

Of course, you can use any height you want, just make sure it is less than your monitor height.

Hope this work for you.

(Mousestack and Mousecontrol are my new best friends. Learned them from a Trevor DeVore video. So useful!!!)

Thank, John

'MouseStack' is a new term for me.

set the top of stack "revNewScriptEditor 1" to 100

I need to type this into the msg box every time the script editor opens.
Is there a place I can put this to call it automatically whenever the script editor opens?

OK, I've been forced to type this into the message box: "set the top of stack "revNewScriptEditor 1" to 100 " every time I need to edit a script.

I figured moving up to Rev 4.0 would fix the problem. No, it didn't. Even using a different computer. The "Compile" button is always hidden under the tool bar.

I've been using Rev for years without having this problem. Am I cursed?
Is there any consultant witch doctor who can shake some rattles at my computer? I'd gladly pay with beans.

Try throwing away your preferences file. You can find it:

on Windows: in C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\Runtime Revolution\Revolution <Edition>\revpreferences.rev
on MacOSX: inside your home directory ~/Library/Preferences/Runtime Revolution/Revolution <Edition>/revpreferences.rev

Quit the rev IDE first, and then after removing the file, relaunch the rev IDE.

HTH,

Hi max,

the script editor is cloned from a temlate stack I believe, and thus inherits the "masters" location"

In the messagebox try:

put the top of stack "revNewScriptEditor"

if it is less then a reasonable number set the top of that stack and then save it.

Maybe that helps.

Which came first? Script to make a script editor or the SE?

set the top of stack "revNewScriptEditor 1" to 100
