Re: Update on Android and OpenGL in Froyo
Jacque, Thank you very much for the heads up. Do you know if we can set minimum version on the Android Market? For games, the software renderer might not be enough. It may be better not to allow software on 2.2.1 then allow it and have bad performance. Cheers andre On Mon, Dec 26, 2011 at 4:27 AM, J. Landman Gay jac...@hyperactivesw.comwrote: Just a heads-up to those developing for Android. I've been trying to solve an issue on my 2.2.1 tablet for some time. When I set dynamic rendering to use OpenGL, my app launches to a black screen and hangs indefinitely. It is always repeatable. I'm grateful to Ralph DiMola who offered to help test. He's running Android 2.2.1 on his phone, and had exactly the same result, so it looks like a problem with Froyo. Several people had run my app with no problems, but everyone else was on 2.3 or 3.x. I'll let RR know so they can work on a fix. In the mean time, if you are developing for Android and using the new rendering features, be aware that if you set rendering to use OpenGL it may fail on devices running Froyo 2.2.1 (and maybe below.) Software rendering works fine, though a bit slower, so a work-around is to check the system version and if it's below 2.3, use software rendering. The last I heard, about 30% of the Android population was still on Froyo, so failure in a released app could have repercussions. It would be best to use the work-around if you need to release soon. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com __**_ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/**mailman/listinfo/use-livecodehttp://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode -- http://www.andregarzia.com -- All We Do Is Code. http://fon.nu -- minimalist url shortening service. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

I can't wait until move our site over to RevIgniter; I think it will be much more secure! Well, at least with injection attacks from buffer overruns, according to Dr. Raney the LC engine is far more secure than most alternatives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/msg02659.html I've been giving this subject a lot of thought recently, since a friend of mine had a site that was compromised using a similar exposure in Drupal. The Drupal folks have since closed that particular hole, but this raises two key points: 1. If you're using any third-party CMS, you really need to be prepared to stay on top of updates. A powerful CMS is also a complex one, and as complexity grows the range of potential entry points grows along with it. 2. If you write your own CMS, it may be helpful to change some coding habits to write more defensively. Here's one example of this latter point: For many years I've been in the habit of using put url... to get local file data, but if a system provides any way in which the name of the file being read is affected by inputs from the browser, it can be possible for that local URL reference to be a remote URL to some nefarious site. So now, when writing CGIs I take the time to use open.../read.../close... instead. While it takes a few more lines to write, it obviates the possibility that such code can be misused to inject remote URLs. Of course even better is to monitor incoming params to eliminate the use of undesirable remote URLs, and that should be done too. But as a system grows you may add features down the road which open up such possibilities, and if you've adopted defensive coding habits up front the implications are not so severe. So at a minimum, these days when writing CGIs I make an effort to: 1. Never use put url... for local file access 2. Carefully error-check incoming params to avoid unwanted data What other practices might we consider to make our CGIs more secure? For example, SQL injection is a common vulnerability, and PHP provides a function to sanitize data going into the DB. Any of you have a similar LiveCode function to sanitize data? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com LiveCode Journal blog: http://LiveCodejournal.com/blog.irv ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Keeping stacks on-screen
Here's a fairly Quick-n-Dirty script which will do the magic if pasted into the stack script of any stack that is going wandering: on moveStack put the short name of this stack into THSTK if the left of stack THSTK (item 1 of the screenRect) then set loc of stack THSTK to the screenLoc end if if the top of stack THSTK (item 2 of the screenRect) then set loc of stack THSTK to the screenLoc end if if the right of stack THSTK (item 3 of the screenRect) then set loc of stack THSTK to the screenLoc end if if the bottom of stack THSTK (item 4 of the screenRect) then set loc of stack THSTK to the screenLoc end if end moveStack on preOpenStack put the short name of this stack into THSTK if the left of stack THSTK (item 1 of the screenRect) then set loc of stack THSTK to the screenLoc end if if the top of stack THSTK (item 2 of the screenRect) then set loc of stack THSTK to the screenLoc end if if the right of stack THSTK (item 3 of the screenRect) then set loc of stack THSTK to the screenLoc end if if the bottom of stack THSTK (item 4 of the screenRect) then set loc of stack THSTK to the screenLoc end if end preOpenStack Not rocket science, but it does the trick.

HI Jacque, Just one more follow up to this. When the standalone is built, does it include all the images in the library or just the ones that are referenced in the application?

Crashing Ubuntu 11.10 with LC 4.5
I suppose I had better start with a confession: Having been in dependency hell for about 2 months I have installed UBUNTU 11.10 on my main machine and am running Unity 2D on it. If one uses Avant Window Navigator one can very nearly avoid all the bumf that comes along with Unity. Still fairly cheesed-off with Unity, GNOME 3 and the fact that there has been no consideration for those who like GNOME 2 (after all, why not just keep it in the repositiories as an option?). Now, re my last post about keeping LC windows on-screen: having posted the script that I made first of all, I decided that putting the stack slap-bang, dead-centre everytime it strayed slightly off-screen was pretty awful, so I changed the code to this: on moveStack put the short name of this stack into THSTK if the left of stack THSTK (item 1 of the screenRect) then set the left of stack THSTK to (item 1 of the screenRect) end if snip end moveStack and when I dragged my stack it froze the Ubuntu 11.10 interface completely, disabled the mouse and so forth; the only way out of this was either to jump on the button on the front of the computer or yank the power cable out from the back: neither what one might choose in an ideal situation. I don't have a desperate urge to try this out on either my PPC macMini or the Windows XP running in a Virtual Box setup; however, I do wonder whether the same sort of thing would happen. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Point at which speaking is stopped?
The only way I can think of is to speak individual words rather than a block of text. This way you can cycle through words, each with its own revspeak and can monitor where in the text you are at every moment. This also obviates the need for a stop. Just quit sending words to revspeak. Since revspeak will overrun itself you will also need to check revIsSpeaking() to determine when the next word should be sent.

Re: Crashing Ubuntu 11.10 with LC 4.5
Stay with Ubuntu for now, but install fluxbox and see if it still happens. At least you'll know if its Ubuntu or Gnome3. Once you have got used to Fluxbox, its astonishing how little use you have for a window manager, desktop, all that bloat. I preferr flux to openbox mainly because the virtual desktop function is easier and quicker, but either one is quick and minimal and stable and keeps out of the way. I agree with Mark about Xfce, its the closest thing to Gnome2. Thunar is a very nice, very simple file manager. xfe is also quite nice. Gnome seems to have totally lost its way. Funnily enough KDE in the latest incarnation seems to be getting back to KDE 3.5, and that was quite the equal of Gnome2 The more things change -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Crashing-Ubuntu-11-10-with-LC-4-5-tp4235217p4235548.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Trouble with button icon images
On 12/26/11 11:35 AM, Pete wrote: HI Jacque, Just one more follow up to this. When the standalone is built, does it include all the images in the library or just the ones that are referenced in the application? The library I created has around 700 icons in it and I only use perhaps a dozen or so in any one application. I'm not sure how that would work, I always place the images so that the library isn't used at all. I suppose the easiest thing would be for the standalone builder to just include the whole library as a substack of your mainstack. Copying them individually would change the IDs of the images. You could find out by building a small standalone with a button that uses a referenced icon, and whose script answers the names of the substacks. I'm a little curious myself what you'll find. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: revOpenDatabase Problem
Pete,
Try the following query:
SELECT name FROM sqlite_master
WHERE type IN ('table','view') AND name NOT LIKE 'sqlite_%'
UNION ALL
SELECT name FROM sqlite_temp_master
WHERE type IN ('table','view')
ORDER BY 1
It should return the tables in the database, if there are no tables,
then, there is something wrong.
Cheers
andre

Strange Datagrid Behavior
I have two datagrids on a card. When the user clicks on an option menu on the card, the datagrids are populated with information in two different formats, at least that's what's supposed to happen. I do this by setting the dgText of each datagrid to the value of a variable. When I set the dgText of the first datagrid (stepping through in debug), I see the correct data show up. When I set the dgText of the second datagrid, it appears in the first datagrid and the second datagrid remains empty!! The datagrids have different names. I have checked the row template property to make sure it has not somehow been set to the wrong datagrid but they are both correct. I have checked the value of the dgContorl property of each datagrid and it is correct also. I will say that these datagrids have have a somewhat checkered past. They originally existed on a different card than they reside on now, and all worked fine back in those good old days. For application design reasons, I copied them (and a few other controls) from the original card to a different card and put them all into a group. That's when the problems started. Any ideas on how I might track down this strange behavior? -- Pete Molly's Revenge http://www.mollysrevenge.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
