Hi all
I've already used Revolution for some little applications, but this if
my first time using it as a multimedia authoring tool
( No intention to upgade my Director licenses anymore... :)
I played a little with all the stuff I will need and quite satisfyed.
Well, missing a little the Director timeline fot this kind of job, but
just a little.
Now I have two problems:
1) Can't find a way to imitate the Director "Full screen" option.
I tryed this way:
on preopenstack
set the rect of this stack to the screenrect
end preopenstack
using the geometry manager i have set all the objects on the form with
a location relative to the image i use as background
using the geometry manager i have set the image i use as background
with a location relative to the card, exactly 0 pixel from the center
of the card, both horizontal and vertical.
Nothing to do: the backgroud and all the controls stay always on the
topleft corner of the screen.
2) I would like to keep all the images I use(Backgrounds, photos, etc.)
on an external folder, let's say "media", on the same level of the
application.
I can't find a way to set the filename on the properties of an Image as
a relative path (i mean on the IDE, not from transcript), using the
browse button i have always an absolute path that is mantaind on the
compiled app, so moving the app with its folder on another location
will not work, and obviously will not work moving to a windows
environment.
thanks in advance,
Giulio
