currentTimeChanged and player callbacks bug?

Hi again. My (video) player object's callbacks consists of 297 lines. Every line has the same command but a different index number. When called to, the player object uses that index number to retrieve and display a line of text. Now, to allow use of the player's control bar to skip forward or bac

Re: LockLocation of a group

Thanks everyone. It's not a big deal to change the size of the group - I was mainly wondering if I was misunderstanding what was in the dictionary. Pete Molly's Revenge On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 4:50 PM, Mark Schonewille < m.schonewi...@economy-x-talk.com> wrote:

Jerry, Yes, this is supposed to be this way and you can change it by setting the margins of the group to 0 (or any other positive number). -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkp

Pete - Just 'nudge' the group using the arrow keys after you resized the control. That should update the boundaries of the group. Terry... On 11/04/2011 09:41 AM, "Pete" wrote: > I vaguely remember a discussion about this once before but I need to ask > about this again. > > The dictionary sa

Re: LockLocation of a group

I also have been recently surprised to see that a group is 4 pixels bigger on all 4 sides than its parts. Make a new stack, drag in a label field, hit group and watch the handles grow. Is this supposed to be this way? --Jerry Jensen On Apr 10, 2011, at 4:50 PM, Mark Schonewille wrote: > Hi Pet

Re: LockLocation of a group

Hi Pete, I think this is a bug. AFAIK it only work when you move an object but not when you resize it. I'm not sure about hiding and showing, I guess this doesn't work either and I think I like it that way. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering H

LockLocation of a group

I vaguely remember a discussion about this once before but I need to ask about this again. The dictionary says "If the *lockLocation* of a group is false, the group is automatically resized when the objects in it are moved, resized, hidden, or shown." I'm not seeing that behavior. I have a combo

Re: socket handling/libURL changed between 4.0 and 4.6?

I copied the libURL from 4.0 and pasted it over the version in 4.6, and things work again. So it is the changes made to libURL between 4.0 and 4.6 that are the immediate cause of this problem. It would be helpful if libURL gave some error message rather than a socket timeout. Can someone tell me

For shell windows showing look at the property hideConsoleWindows If you're worried about shell blocking, could do your file management stuff as a process instead. Syntax: open process appName [for [text|binary] {read | write | update | neither}] Haven't done much with open process myself, but c

Re: revCopyFile slow?

Maarten, Whether using the shell blocks your interface depends on the size of your files. Copying one very big file is likely to be blocking, but copying many small files in a repeat loop should hardly interfere with user interaction. I really think you should give all options a try and choose

Re: revCopyFile slow?

I'll try the command shell, I hope the command window doesn't show. Blocking behavior is another fear ( why revCopyFile is unacceptable). Thanks for all the hints and advice everybody! --Maarten On Sunday, April 10, 2011, Jim Ault wrote: > On Apr 10, 2011, at 5:31 AM, Mark Schonewille wrote: >
