Hello! :shock:

I'm about to begin a project where I'll have to construct forms (e.g., of text fields, buttons, drop-down menus, etc.), but haven't done this very seriously in the past. To jump-start my research and perhaps gain some direction or insight, I thought I'd ask around to see what ...

...I was not aware that "create group myGroup" set the group with the backgroundBehavior property enabled. Anyway, everything runs like a charm now.


After a bit of testing, I found this to be incorrect. I created the group with


create group myGroup


then added various graphics, fields ...

Hello. I found the problem. I was not properly deleting groups that I'm creating dynamically for temporary use, and a huge number of these was created with the "backgroundBehavior" property enabled. I deleted these and am in the process of reworking my code. I should have noticed this, but I was not ...

Are you using any 'effects' (e.g. wipe left, etc)?

Hello. I apologize for the delayed response. I do have images on the cards, but the largest image is 1024x768, which is the size of the card. This doesn't seem excessive. Is it?

Hmmm. If anyone else has any ideas, I'd really appreciate it. I've tried "lock screen" in the "on closeCard" messages and "unlock screen" in the "on openCard" messages for the cards, and this didn't help speed things up.

As a test, I removed all front scripts and then added only my custom front script. Things operated a speed that seemed normal when I did this. I created a completely new project and without adding anything, I opened up the Message Box and typed "put the frontScripts" and I was returned the following ...

Hi mokogobo,

any "preopencard/opencard/closecard" handler that might cause this?

I do use all of these messages, but not on all cards, and most of the work I do in them is very small (e.g., changing a variable value, clearing a form field).

I watched the messages as I switched between two of my ...

Hello.

I've got a single stack with about 20 cards in it, and when I switch from any card to any other card, there is an unusually long delay before the destination card is shown. The wait is approximately 2-4 seconds (always, it is this long).

I do not have any terribly large images in any card ...

I've put this in the repeat loop so that any
repeating number is discarded and the loop counter
set back by one. Works.


I'm not certain of the internal workings, but I'd imagine the method you describe (looping until something is found) would be generally less efficient than creating a list of ...

He's some code that works. Throw it in a button and try it out.


on mouseUp
-- List of integers to randomize
local integerList
repeat with i = 1 to 30
put i into integerList[i]
end repeat

-- Combine elements as comma separated list of integers.
-- Note that combine doesn't necessarily ...

And of course by "you all" I mean "bn". I appreciate it.

Thank you to both Janschenkel and trevordevore. I appreciate your support quite greatly! I'm finding that the Revolution community is generally very friendly and helpful--among the most so of any development communities I've been around.

Awesome. Thank you all for your help!

Please post the part of your script...

Here you go:


on dbQueryToArray a_queryString, a_connectionId
-- BEGIN: STRING PROBLEM WORKAROUND
if ((the paramCount > 1) and (param(the paramCount) is not an integer)) then
put param(1) into newQueryString
repeat with index = 2 to (the paramCount ...

Hello there.

I'm unable to figure out a way to pass a string containing a comma as an argument to a custom handler. I wrapped up some database code and pass the query as a parameter, and sometimes the query contains a comma. When I pass this, it splits the argument at the comma and treats it as ...
