And yes: It works with Photoshop Elements 2.x Thanks again, Malte From malte.brill at t-online.de Mon Nov 1 04:41:24 2004 From: malte.brill at t-online.de (Malte Brill) Date: Mon, 01 Nov 2004 10:41:24 +0100 Subject: How to make My application Trial ware In-Reply-To: <20041031170014.95AC393011F@mail.runrev.com> Message-ID: Hi Niva, I?ll make this mail short, as I?m in a hurry. My strategy is the following: Create a Preferences stack for your app. Have a handler that generates a password string in your app. You might look at the following demo: http://www.derbrill.de/revstack/passwort.rev.zip Don?t use it without modifying to make it unique for your app. In your registration dialogue you need three fields. Take a few chars from the first and the second field, put them into a var, add some numbers here and there. Add some chars here and there (look at the demo stack mentioned above). Nothing but basic string manipulation. This string will need to be entered in the 3rd field ofyour registration dialogue. If it is the password you sent to your users, set a custom property in your preferences stack and save it. Enable or disable the features of your app. in a preOpenstack or openstack handler and after entering the registration data, if the customproperty of your preferences stack is set accordingly. Password protect the script of your stack before building your distribution, that one cannot see how you generated the unlock string. If anything I wrote here is not clear, feel free to ask.

When I tried accessing the "Learning Center" directly from the revOnline browser, it generated a "learning_center.rvc.gz" document - BUT does not tell you anything else? i.e. that you must them open the "learning_center.rvc.gz" document with the browsar Revolution Logo Button. An unnecessarily complicated procedure to say the least IMHO. Surely Revolution should and will make accessing their Learning Centermore direct and easier for us Newbies. I trust the above is helpful. Thanks Again for your help and interest. TAKE CARE, Ralph From ralf at dol.net Mon Nov 1 10:41:11 2004 From: ralf at dol.net (Ralph R.

Message-ID: <20041101162435.7F3D53D9F@xprdmailfe6.nwk.excite.com> I posted the below some days ago. I have further questions and further infomation. In my testing of "wait for X seconds with message": Example code: global gblA global gblB [Button A] on mouseUp repeat forever put "Waiting A" & return after field "status" if gblA is true then return true wait for 1 seconds with messages end repeat put "A completed" & return after field "status" end mouseUp [Button SignalA] on mouseUp put "Signaled A" & return into field "status" put true into gblA end mouseUp [Button SignalB] on mouseUp put "Signaled B" & return into field "status" put true into gblB end mouseUp [Button B] on mouseUp repeat forever put "Waiting B" & return after field "status" if gblB is true then return true wait for 1 seconds with messages end repeat put "B Completed" & return after field "status" end mouseUp Event Output [Clicked A] Waiting A [Clicked B] Waiting B [Clicked SignalA] [Clicked SignalB] B completed A completed This is not the case on Win32 is different. How is this supposed to work? The documentation does not refer to any dependency for "wait
