Re: variable storage

Thomas McGrath III — 2008-12-05T03:14:56

Mark, Yes except that the properties does not store ALL of the possible properties of an object. So it is not a perfect match to the original object. I actually started with the properties first and then started looking for other ways that might be better and include ALL of the possible properties. Still looking for a best case scenario.

Re: variable storage

Scott, thanks. seems a little complicated because I wanted to do this with dozens of objects. So this would mean dozens of stacks. For my needs I think it might be better to store them all in one separate stack.

Thanks Ken. It works when I set it *before* the ""open file" command. As for the file type it was good of you to mention that but I wanted it to be a Rev stack due to I was transferring a Rev stack with a communications program I wrote and I wanted to save it properly after it is transferred. -=>JB<=- On Dec 4, 2008, at 4:10 PM, Ken Ray wrote: _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution-1W37MKcQCpJ21N0xZs15Ng< at >public.gmane.org Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Hi Mark, Thanks for the info! It works good. I read the dictionary quite a few times and either it does not explain to use it before opening the file or I missed it. They should probably make it clear where to use it. The only other problem is after changing the file type it does not automatically change the file to display the Rev ICON but that is not a serious issue. -=>JB<=- On Dec 4, 2008, at 2:55 PM, Mark Schonewille wrote: _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution-1W37MKcQCpJ21N0xZs15Ng< at >public.gmane.org Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Sqlite remotely

Kee Nethery — 2008-12-05T00:31:44

sqlite is is a sql database but it is not a multi-user database. Think of it as a local file on your hard drive (in fact that is what it is). If you want to use it remotely, you have to mount that hard drive remotely, open the sqlite file, and then read and write to it. While you are doing that, no one else can. If you want multiple people to read and write from the same sqlite database file, you will need to build an app that accepts requests from remote users and it and only it opens and reads and writes to that data file. That connecter server is not a standard part of sqlite. You would have to build it yourself. sqlite is great for applications that need local data storage. For example, most (if not all) of the Apple apps running on a Mac store all their data in sqlite data files. It's not a multi-user database.

Yes - although it is currently "unsupported", you can ask for "the executionContexts" and get a series of lines that indicate the call stack of the messages. Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.

So close! when you open the file it is created. So set the fileType before opening (creating) the file.

Re: variable storage

Scott Rossi — 2008-12-04T22:09:35

I don't believe you can't store the object itself, but you can store the properties of the object and create it on the fly by setting the properties of the template object (in this case the templateGraphic) to the stored properties. Alternatively, you could store the object in a "holder" stack and store the holder stack itself as binary data in a custom property of your main stack. set the uBinaryStack of myCoolStack to url ("binfile:" & pathToHolderStack) When the time comes to access the object you use something like: go stack (the uBinaryStack of this stack) ...to open the binary-saved stack, copy your object, and close the binary-saved stack. As always, Rev offers a few options...

Re: snapshot problem 1

Richard Gaskin — 2008-12-04T21:28:48

It's curious that it doesn't when using "import snapshot". Ideally all commands that create a new object would put that object's descriptor in it. Have you filed an enhancement request for this? It would seem useful. I suspect sooner or later someone else will be caught by this inconsistency. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Revolution training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for Rev developers: http://www.revjournal.com _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution-1W37MKcQCpJ21N0xZs15Ng< at >public.gmane.org Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

""Opposite" is somewhat ambiguous when referring to a building on a corner" Yes, you are exactly right; that is the kind of feedback that is always useful. "And if you move your corner and junction gifs a bit further back in the layering then the buildings won't slide behind them when they're dragged." That one has a story behind it: when I made the original program (featuring 5 different road layouts) I made my junctions and corners by overlaying various angle gifs. It was only when I decided to upload my 'sampler' to revOnline I made the junction and corner gifs as single gifs: and, in my enthusiasm to get the thing finished overlooked the later order. Again, thanks for the feedback. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-
