Free Scribe Assist made in Rev
Got to talking with my buddy Floyd Wray today, and he's got a new video scribe out which is just marvelous. Hopefully he'll YouTube it and share. As always, the subject ended up turning to tools, and we started chatting about some of the problems creating video scribes. He has way more experience than I, and he mentioned how tedious it is to create the animations where it looks like you're drawing something. So, I promised him I'd sit down and knock out a quick program to do this for him. And-- here it is! All in all, about 5 hours of programming (plus some nice strategic phone help from Richard Gaskin-- thanks Richard!). All programmed in LiveCode. It really is amazing how fast you can program in Rev (LiveCode)-- fun too! Here's a video showing it in action: http://www.screencast.com/t/9uWjs9GtTn So, if you want to try it out, here are the links.

RE: Geometry settings...
Hi Dixie, It is not possible easily with the LiveCode geometry manager. (I do not know even how to do it). But NativeGeometry, that is a geometry manager for LiveCode works like that, all geometry relations are scripts and the GUI is just here to help you working faster. Sample: Set the nGeometry of button toto to set the bottom of me to the bottomPadding of this stack; set the left of me to the rightPadding of button 'titi' - Resize the stack - Open the NativeGeometry geometry inspector, then you will see the script that you have designed. http://www.nativesoft.fr/nativegeometry Kind Regards, Damien Girard NativeSoft, France. -Message d'origine- De : use-revolution-boun...@lists.runrev.com [mailto:use-revolution-boun...@lists.runrev.com] De la part de John Dixon Envoyé : samedi 16 octobre 2010 00:39 À : use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Objet : RE: Geometry settings... Hi Devin... Thanks for the reply.. I have not explained what I want to do too well. What I would like to be able to do is set the 'geometry' in the geometry pane that are in the objects' inspector so, if I create a field by script, I can also set its geometry in the geometry pane...

Is it possible to set the geometry of an object by script so that the settings are then reflected in that objects' inspector ? be well Yes. There are many properties that can be set, like height, width, rectangle, left, right, etc. Usually after you've set them by script you have to force the property inspector to update itself before the new settings are shown. For example, you could close and reopen the inspector, or switch to another pane of the inspector then switch back.

Re: Geometry settings...
Hi Dixie, This really is a big hassle. You'd have to set several cRevGeneral, cRevGeometry and cRevGeometryCache proprties by script. It is possible but really compliated. Alternatively, you might try to create a copy of an existing field, which has its geometry settings already. After creating is, call the revUpdateGeometry and revCacheGeometry commands. I can't guarantee that it works, but you might give it a try. I'm pretty much an opponent of using the geometry manager. In more complicated projects, there is always a moment when it breaks. I always write my own script to manage object sizes and locations. It is faster, more reliable and easier to maintain in the end. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker plugin for Runtime Revolution at http://qurl.tk/ce Create installers for Mac and Windows on *every* Rev-compatible platform.

OT: Invitation to some groovy LiveCode based co-learning!
Anyone out there interested in learning how to build upon their Rev ? LiveCode experience and learn how to integrate this with modern web frameworks? I'm taking the plunge, and have forked out silly amounts of money to buy a bunch of books, and think that there may be some other people on the list that would be interested in learning this stuff too? It will be a lot more fun in a group of a few of us - and well that's a lot more Live coding style isn't it :) I'm proposing taking a subject that I know very little about, learning a few steps and making some quick videos and LiveCode based example code, available each week, and supporting this with the option to take part in a Live Coding event via small live video conferencing. The live events will be limited to no more than 20 people. As a starting subject, I'm going to take a look at something which will be both useful to the community as a tool, and a little geeky so that well to be honest we don;t get too many people wanting to do it while we iron out the kinks on how to do this properly. *Groovy* The topic is going to be integrating LiveCode with Ruby on Rails like frameworks. To be even more geeky, I'm choosing the Java based version of Rails - Grails http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grails_%28framework%29, which in turn is based on Groovy. We'll learn how to use LiveCode to script the command line tools that come with these frameworks and mix and match LiveCode front ends, and even server side code written in LiveCode. Anyone interested in accompanying me on my journey to learn more about these modern web frameworks and how they use object relational mapping, MVC, closures, naming conventions, and all sorts of other goodies (like integrating LiveCode with Java - Jan are you out there :) - feel free to join in. *What we will make* The practical part of the project is going to be to build an online database of open source handlers using these modern tools. That is we will get up a quick and dirty web site that is based on the LiveCode object model we are all familiar with - stacks, cards, groups and so forth to create a search-able repository of open source handlers. Grails, will allow us to create simple web services, around this database, one in which we can ad all sorts of cool things like folksonomy tagging, dependency graphing and the like. We'll start simple, frankly we will have to because this is not my field at all - but will I think end up with a useful community service and a shed load of groovy learning. *No teachers, no guarantees. We are all in this together!* So this is not going to be a course in any traditional sense. The aim is we learn from each other, in a bit more of a visual and fun way than we can do on an email list. I'm going to experiment with a number of features including live screen casting, that make this possible, but that won't be an essential part of the gig. That is turning up for the live events - is going to be an optional but fun part of the experience. I'll send an invite out for the first one in a follow up email. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

on-rev database help
I'm not even sure if I'm asking the question correctly. I've made a simple time tracking database for my colleagues. Dates, fill-ins, drop downs etc. I'm not using any of the sophisticated Rev DB tools or SQL. I am just saving each collection of responses in separate fields. I also have a button that exports as a text file all info with records on separate lines, commas between items. Each teacher keeps their own stack on their laptop. When our supervisor needs to do a report for the school districts, each of the 13 teacher/consultants will generate the data-text file and send it to her. She will then import each text file into excel to do her sorts and reports. Every time she needs to do an update, she'll need to ask us to send our latest data and create a new excel to keep the data correct. I do have an on-rev server account. I did attend and have the dvds for rev-live Las Vegas. I do own the DVDs from the On-Rev Edinburgh conference, but haven't had time to watch them yet. I know RunRev/Live Code fairly well. I do not know SQL. Questions 1. Can I put my existing stack on my on-rev server account for multiple people to use at one time? 2. Can I put my existing stack on our school server for multiple people to use at one time? 3. Am i up-that-creek for not knowing SQL? 4. If (I) and (2) are possible with or without SQL what's my best option to learn how to do whatever I'll need to do.

Re: [OT] First Mobile App Released
It's pretty good, and one of the most slick looking GameSalad apps. You might have risked splashing out for Pro to avoid the GameSalad promo screen! As you may know, things are changing over there at the moment, so keep an eye on that. I've done five of the stages, working on the sixth. The triangle's one has a clear button that I thought would clear the highlighted triangles, but it really clears your entire progress. Fortunately I hadn't gone too far when I discovered that! It took 22 minutes to complete that stage. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: [OT] First Mobile App Released
Hi Scott, Wife still not back but I managed to find the iPad and crack her iTunes account password even without Dar's help! So one of the numbers in today's sales is me :) Graphics look very nice. The load time with GameSalad logo is a little of a bummer, but I know you took that into account in the tradeoffs one has to make as a dev in ease and time to launch, etc. Is the RevMobile platform going to require a similar splash screen? I hope not but if anyone knows for sure, I am curious.

Re: on-rev database help
Hello Bill,
I'm not even sure if I'm asking the question correctly.
I've made a simple time tracking database for my colleagues. Dates, fill-ins,
drop downs etc. I'm not using any of the sophisticated Rev DB tools or SQL. I
am just saving each collection of responses in separate fields. I also have a
button that exports as a text file all info with records on separate lines,
commas between items. Each teacher keeps their own stack on their laptop.
When our supervisor needs to do a report for the school districts, each of
the 13 teacher/consultants will generate the data-text file and send it to
her. She will then import each text file into excel to do her sorts and
reports.
Every time she needs to do an update, she'll need to ask us to send our
latest data and create a new excel to keep the data correct. I do have an
on-rev server account. I did attend and have the dvds for rev-live Las Vegas.
I do own the DVDs from the On-Rev Edinburgh conference, but haven't had time
to watch them yet. I know RunRev/Live Code fairly well. I do not know SQL.
Questions
1. Can I put my existing stack on my on-rev server account for multiple
people to use at one time?
2. Can I put my existing stack on our school server for multiple people to
use at one time?
3. Am i up-that-creek for not knowing SQL?
4. If (I) and (2) are possible with or without SQL what's my best option to
learn how to do whatever I'll need to do.
SQL is not hard to learn at all when it's used in the LiveCode+On-Rev
environment. In fact, if you figure it's just a special subset of LiveCode and
spend some hours to test the main revDB commands/functions, you will be happy
to discover how easy it is. If you do so, choose directly PostgreSQL as the db
target. RevDB is full db agnostic (MySQL and PostgreSQL, at least) but
PostgreSQL is lots more transparent (stability, BSD license, etc...) than MySQL.
The advantages of using an SQL backend in a n-tier server-side environment :
- SQL db are from ground build to handle in the best ways multi-users accesses
in write-mode where LiveCode is't (out of the box, at least !)
- SQL db are storing data in text files too but in a lots more sophisticated
way we can do in storing data in LiveCode objects or text files (concurrency in
read and write modes, journalised transactions, db dump, etc...
- the best db back-ends don't require a more heavy learning curve than the less
solid's ones but they are ACID-complient (PostgreSQL, FireBird, Oracle,...)
witch means you will never lost data in using them
- To the end, it will always be more reliable to store big amount of data in
SQL backends than in LiveCode in about speed of use in a n-tier server-sided
environment and this will always be good for both your data, the server's
response time average to your requests and the mutualised on-rev LiveCode
server engine (top use of it in % of processor's time).
...
The main revDB to explore to become OK with SQL over LiveCode :
put revOpenDatabase (DbTarget,localhost,DbName,DbUser,DBPasswd) into
myDatabaseID
if myDatabaseID is not a number
then return myDatabaseID
else
...
put SELECT * FROM yourTable WHERE yourColumn LIKE ' trim(tparam2)
' into sqlStatement
put revQueryDatabase(myDatabaseID,sqlStatement) into dbCursorID
if dbCursorID is not a number
then return dbCursorID
else
repeat until revQueryIsAtEnd(dbCursorID)
put trim(revDatabaseColumnNamed(dbCursorID,oneOfYourColumns))
into article_titre
put SELECT column1,column2 FROM yourTable WHERE column3 =
current_date AND column4 LIKE ' toUpper(tparam2) \|%' AND column5 = 'Y'
ORDER BY column6 DESC into sqlStatement
...
put UPDATE yourTable SET column3 = ' active_record \
' WHERE column1 = '
tparam1 ' AND column4 = ' anonymousclt[wsanonymousclt] ' into
sqlStatement3
revExecuteSQL myDatabaseID,sqlStatement3
if the result is not a number
then return the result
...
put INSERT INTO yourTable (column1, column2,column3,column4) \
VALUES (' tparam1 ', 'record_activation', ' tparam2 ',
'anonymous') into sqlStatement4 ###
revExecuteSQL myDatabaseID,sqlStatement4
if the result is not a number
then return the result
...
put DELETE FROMyourTable WHERE tparam1 ' the seconds - 10800 ' into
sqlStatement
revExecuteSQL myDatabaseID,sqlStatement
if the result is not a number
then return the result
else return
...
revCloseDatabase(myDatabaseID)

Re: [OT] First Mobile App Released
I have a question for Scott: After the coloring by numbers last level (which has a strange thing about it, in that you have to select the black color even though it doesn't change the appearance of those triangles), you get to a screen where it says transmitting data to SCIUP. After that the app crashes. I went back in afresh and tried again, and it crashed again. Does something worthwhile happen, that is worth trying over and over until it doesn't crash? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Posting to a web page
I'm trying to create a value added front end to a web site. What I need to do first is login to my account. I suspect the the entire site is created in the same style so once I get past logging in, I should be able to scrape the rest of the data I need to present in LiveCode locally. The login page is a simple html form with 4 fields: auth_vars[username] auth_vars[password] auth_vars[submit] Value=Login auth_vars[action] Value=login The form will be submitted to /login.php using POST My question is how can I create this login sequence and send it to login.php followed by the variables? I know with the GET method you have varname=value separated by commas. LiveCode will let me do something like: post myDataString to URL http://mywebsite.com/login.php; but I don't know how to format myDataString in order to have it accepted. Any help or pointers to web sites that might enlighten me are appreciated. len morgan ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Q) Did you initially play the app all the way though without exiting? What you've run into is GameSalad's joy-inducing memory leaks. I actually pulled stuff out of the app to deal with this as best I could, and it still happens in some cases (most notably playing through the entire game non-stop). There's just no way to get around it, other than to dumb down or replace the entire level, and still without any guarantee that it would work. Guess how enthusiastic I was about doing that after working on it for over a half a year...

I wouldn't worry too much, the Pad likes to crash in general. I have Flash apps that work fine even on the original iPhone, but will crash after a short time on my iPad.

Re: Posting to a web page
Len you need to pair up the variable names with their values. Something like this: put username= URLencode(tUserName) into myDataString put password= URLencode(tPassword) after myDataString etc, etc. Then you can use the post command as you have it below.

Re: [OT] First Mobile App Released
On Sun, Oct 17, 2010 at 3:28 AM, Scott Rossi sc...@tactilemedia.com wrote: Hello List: Just sharing a little excitement on the release of my first mobile app: PLEXXR -- a stylish puzzle game for Apple's iPad. As mentioned previously, this app was about 7 months in the making, and I got some helpful feedback from folks here on the list -- thanks guys! Site with trailer (no gameplay vid yet but it's coming): http://www.plexxr.com App Store link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/plexxr/id397208452?mt=8 For folks that don't have an iPad, there's also a desktop version available on the PLEXXR site. As one of those who tested Scott's app (I was the annoying one whose iPad kept crashing), I would like to recommend this app to you all. If anything, the graphics are even better than we expect from Scott, and the music sound effects are also great. The puzzles are varied and interesting and having to work out what each puzzle is about makes it even more fun. I too have recently had an app accepted in the App Store, and as revMobile (or whatever it is called now) is approaching that stage, I thought people might be interested in hearing some more details of the process. My app was an Xcode app, not a LiveCode app, but all lot of the administration will be the same. Firstly, as you all probably know by now, you have to pay your $99 to Apple to get a developer's license. Then you can create a developer certificate and a provisioning profile for your app. Use the wizard on Apple's Provisioning Portal page for this. You need to download the Apple developer tools, so that you get the simulators and the Xcode app which includes the Organizer for installing stuff on your iPad/iPhone. Now you can create your stack and run it in the Simulator. If you link in your Provisioning Profile, then you can run it on your iP* devices. If you want to send the app to anyone else for testing, you need to get the ID of their device (this appears in iTunes if you click the serial number of the device - then Command-C to copy it) and add them to your Provisioning Profile. Send then the app and the profile and they can drag both into iTunes and install it that way. Once the app is ready, you have to get a deployment certificate and a deployment provisioning profile. There are several steps to this, but the documentation on the Apple site is very good, so just follow along. Then re-build the app with this new profile. For me the freakiest thing was that this gives you the app to submit, but you cannot run this app on your device, so you are sending Apple an app that you haven't seen run. Anyway, once you submit, there is an immediate binary check. I presume this is an automated test for non-approved APIs etc, but when using revMobile, that's all RunRev's responsibility and I am sure they wouldn't include any of those. Then it only took about 5 days for us to get approval. We got an email saying it was approved and would appear in the App Store within 24 hours, but actually, it was there in just under an hour. So it appears that Apple has really streamlined the process. Basic advice: read all the instructions in the Provisioning Portal, and follow all the steps. And since you can't test the final distribution app, make sure the app is thoroughly tested using your development profile.

So it's no different than a GET except that it doesn't go in the URL? That's easy!
