Newbie Hi...

Hello, I'm a newbie just flown in. The Forum seems a friendly, polite and most helpful place; I look forward to being gratefully enlightened, with hopefully many "pennies dropping" over the months and years to come; and eventually have enough confidence to add my suggestions or opinions as well as help other people (but that might be quite a way off at the moment!). I've certainly learned much by reading a lot of the posts here.
I purchased Revolution Studio 2.9 Mac in January but have only been using it seriously for the last two weeks, running through the tutorials, documentation, etc. My programming experience isn't vast (I'm a graphic designer by trade and that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
): a few months trying to teach myself Basic on a Commodore 64 all of those moons ago; a jump of many years trying to get to grips with Macromind (as it was called then) Director's Lingo then another jump to last year, when I tried out a demo of RealBasic. Then I discovered RR, and the more I use it and learn, the more I'm beginning to lurve this prog! (Steady on, me...) I've already got so much further with my three projects in a quarter of the time compared with RB.
For me, RR's masterstrokes include multiple property inspectors (floating), a separate script window and of course, the ability to change property values and scripting while in Run mode, lots of tutorials and examples to get you kickstarted, etc; all excellent stuff!
I've quite a few first base general questions as well as one or two possible bugs that I think I've discovered, but this first post is getting rather long already, and so I'll post these at another time.
Best regards all
