Editable page

2011-04-02 Thread Maarten Koopmans
Hi,

I have a stack where I want the user to be able to add objects ((e.g.
images, lines, text). I can set the tool to [ ... ]. Think an
editable page. But my problem then is (let's take an image for
example):

- how do I make it so that the user can add an image to the placeholder
- move the image
- resize it

Same for lines, texts, ... any ui element, really - I am trying to
create a mock-up tool.

My thoughts were be that I:

a) have the user add the object to the the stack
b) dynamically attach handlers to the newly created object that
implement any desired object-specific behavior (i.e. move. (reset
image source, crop, ...)

How do I add the handlers dynamically (I really haven't been able to
find it), and moreover, where do I store these templates in the
overall stack.

I think I haven't wrapped my head around the LiveCode model to do
these more dynamic things, *any* help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks, Maarten

2011-04-02 Thread Colin Holgate
As was mentioned last week, I'm a mentor on a robotics team. There are regional 
competitions and then a national finals. My tea (Stuyvesant High School, team 
694) are playing in a a regional today. They have made it through to the 
quarter finals, and those matches are starting up again soon.

Here's the timetable for the matches:

 Dear LiveCode fans,
 
 I'm happy to announce another Live LiveCode Code Event with two interesting 
 presentations. This weekend's event is scheduled for Saturday, 2 April 2011 
 at 19:00h GMT (Sat. 22:00 in Moscow, Sat. 20:00 in Paris, Sat. 14:00 in New

 be the 17th edition of the Live LiveCode Code Event.
 
 Claudi will be exploring the interaction/integration with the Arduino micro 
 controller. His project involves accelerometers and gyroscopes, which is also 
 of interest to iOS developers.
 
 Mario will present a Message driven programming style, which means that he 
 is using messages to simplify and rationalize LC programming. He will explain 
 the concept during his presentation.
 
 eHUG will be raffling off the e-book Take Control of Easy Mac Backups 
 courtesy of TidBITS, http://www.tidbits.com/ .
 
 During the event, Economy-x-Talk offers a 25% discount on their Installer 
 Maker, which can be found at http://installermaker.economy-x-talk.com . A 
 license at 25% discount will be obtainable at http://livetalk.us/im .

Re: Code Documentation

2011-04-02 Thread Pete
Hi Stewart,
I downloaded your stack but having problems getting it to work.  I select a
stack file then I get the beach ball cursor (not even spinning) and nothing
appears to happen - I end up having to do a Force Quit.  This is on a Mac
with OSX 10.6 and LC 4.6.

Any ideas?

Pete

Re: Code Documentation

2011-04-02 Thread Jim Ault

Works for me using Rev 4.5 dp 3

You need to be aware of the version the author used when creating the  
stack.

Some users are still using 2.7.2 (especially school districts)
others 2.9
and I use 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 dp 3

Sometimes I forget when I distribute stacks that I need to save by  
choosing 'Legacy' to make them backward compatible. You might be  
experiencing the author's use of command that is no longer supported


You can use Ken Ray's free Stack Runner to open and run legacy stacks,  
even though you cannot do any editing or 'save as...' a newer version.


You can also install every version of Rev  LC on the same computer.   
You do may have to manage the different Plugins folders, however.   
Each version will use its own IDE.  For example, 2.7.2 did not support  
viewing array element values in the Variable Watcher, nor multi- 
dimensional arrays.


Of course, the answer in your case may simply be a corrupted download.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jim,
I tried it with 4.5.3 and 4.5.2 on newer format stack files and older ones
and same result so not sure what's happening.
