yes, the dg does have all of these properties. i'm replacing a dg with a pg. dg's work on mobile, too. the scrolling can sometimes be a little hairy and jerky, but it does work. until the pg, nearly every project we built for mobes had at least one dg in them. i'm doing this because this project

right - no updating the engine + runtime in this scenario, just the stacks + scripts, and perhaps plugins. we are going to continue to only privately distribute to our corporate clients, so the app store won't be part of the equation. that does not mean that apple won't object, though (but, i

Sideloading to iOS itself is fairly easy, even easier with Jacque’s wonderful tool AirLaunch (which allows you to post a link online for the end-user to visit and install from w/o being on-site). The biggest hurdle I have found is that you must first obtain the UDID of the specific device you

It’s because of the wait - ‘blocking’ waits (those which aren’t ‘with messages’) queue any (low level) events so they are handled at the next wait (in this case the global one the engine does implicitly when there are no handlers executing). Flushing events after the wait as Jacque suggests

That seems a little odd, I haven't noticed that. But one way to block the messages is to use flushEvents() in the button script: flushEvents("mouseDown") flushEvents("mouseUp") -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On February
