Lingo to RevTalk - what is the on beginSprite equivalent

Hi there,

I'm trying to switch from Director to RunRev, but have hit a newbie problem!

I have a text field called EULA, which has HTML text in it.
I right clicked the field, edited script and used:

set the displayedFormat of field "EULA" to "HTML"

This does nothing.
In Director I would have used something like:

on beginSprite
set the displayedFormat of field "EULA" to "HTML"
end

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong and where I can get a list of all the handlers, on mouseUp, etc

Many thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,

First, read the first part of the manual that is included with the RunRev download as a PDF. Then have a look at the dictionary (Help menu) and try to read as much as you can. For example, if you search for "html" you will find something useful.

You might also want to read about the preOpenCard, openCard, preOpenStack and openStack messages.

Best regards,

Mark
