Hi Paul,

here is another not too inuitive hint concerning tabbed buttons:
If you want to simulate a "mouseclick on one of the TABS" you can use:

set the menuhistory of btn "tabbed button" to 1
## or any other (tab) number

Hi Paul,

yes, this is a bit tricky

You can:
select line 1 of btn "Your tabbedbutton here..."
## Or any other line...

This will "hilite" the first TAB.

Hi all,

and again we proved that there are many rev-ways to skin a rev-cat

Wouldn't that be "repeat for each element" in this case"

Hi Mark,

can you retrieve the key with this? Don't think so.
Kai needs to get the "unknown" key from a "known" value.

Hi Kai,

since Rev introduced "repeat for each key tKey in tArray" in version 2.7.2,
maybe a repeat loop is a bit faster nevertheless?

Hi Ricklionhart (how was the last crusade? ;-)), I don't think that Rev should have the ability to change the screen resolution. I personally would NOT like if an app changes MY resolution automatically without asking me. Maybe it is possible with AppleScript but for Win you will have to use some th...

Hi Kai, sorry, no nifty function ;-) But you could use a nifty trick using the "combine" function to extract the "key" from the array like this: Given "tArry" is your array and "unique_value" is the value of the unknown key you are looking for. ... combine tArray by CR and TAB ## This will turn your...

Hi homer, please don't give up too soon, help is on its way! This is what you want, its not very efficient, but effiency will come to your code later after you understood all the basics :-) The basic syntax for writing contents to textfiles is like this: (If you use "write ... to file ..." then you ...

Hi proza,

use brackets and it will work

repeat with i=1 to whatever
put i into field ("f" & i)
end repeat

Rev will evaluate the string first to "f1", "f2" etc.

P.S.
But an array is a complete different animal

MetaCard stack = Rev stack!

The fileformat is identical, so yes, it will work with MC stacks

Hmm - what am I missing...?? ... Also, I gather from the docs that these menus are (can be?) stack specific. What if I just want a menu that's the same throughout my whole application? Where does it go? TIA Kai Please check the "defaultmenubar" property in the docs, that is what you are looking for...

Hi Derek,

you are looking for "clone" and "copy"!

...
clone this cd
## In the same stack

...
copy cd "My card" of stack "A" to stack "B"
## Between stacks

Hope that helps.

Hi Rick, hmmmm, setting the filename of a player to a MP3 files works without problem, so something else must go wrong here. Afer setting the filenmae you get "could not open movie file" in the result? Can you open that file with QuickTime Player? What exactly is in your script, could you post it pl...

Hi dalkin, the solution: Use a relative pathname for your video! Example: You have your standalone in a folder "Standalone folder" and in there is another folder named "Video" or whatever which contains your video file. Then you can use the relative (to the current folder!) pathname: "Video/your_vid...

Buongiorno Lestroso,

actually the correct syntax is:

-> play stop videoclip XYZ

See also the "dontrefresh" property in the docs!
