Is it possible to capture image data from multiple webcams (basically any cheap USB-connected cameras) simultaneously? (Near-simultaneous would be fine, I'm not worried about the precise definition of the word. ;-) I want to be able to grab a single still image/frame from each camera, as part of a R...

you could comment out the formattedWidth/formattedHeight part of the script. It would reduce the size of the stack. Hi Bernd - I remember doing this many years ago in SuperCard, setting the pictureData of an image to itself (I forget the exact wording) in order to throw away unnecessary embedded pi...

Alternatively... 1) user select a font from a custom-directory 2) we install that font so we can use it. 3) Set some sample text in that font and capture it as a graphic 4) Uninstall the font, leaving the graphic image of the font on display Untried, don't know if there would be any 'gotchas' with t...

Thanks Mark. Oh well - I was wondering whether I could build myself a general-purpose font manager tool! Seems not.

Another angle might be to work with a mouseStillDown handler.
Just a comment, as I think you're already using the best option. But it can sometimes be helpful and educational to think of different ways to get to a desired end result.

Make sure that you import the picture as a control, rather than referenced: File menu/Import as Control/Image File... Thanks, this did the trick for me. One question: is it possible to script the 'conversion' of a big set of graphics from file-referencing things to controls if they are already in a...

I hope people don't mind me going a bit deeper on this. It is an area that I've been involved with for some time, and I really *would* like to be able to do this stuff in Rev - without relying on something that's very likely to be heading towards EOL. Quicktime is such a core technology in Apples se...

I hope Rev will figure out how to play QTVR natively in a revlet A reasonable wish. Sadly, it looks like QTVR's time has passed. This media doesn't work at all in Win7 64bit and it isn't supported by QuickTime X. If you install Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) you'll need QuickTime 7 as well in order t...
