Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 98, Issue 4
Hi Mark Very nice to see your additions. One comment on the DPI If you want a ruler that match your printer you should use 72. Also if you fx want to calculate a perimeter or area of a square you should use 72. At least on a Mac To have the ruler appear lifelike I use 72/2.54 * 1.52 on an iMac 27 I have experimentet in a drawing app and found 152% to be lifelike on the screen So in my case at 152% I see exactly what comes out of the printer.

Leonardo Bezier. How to bring your own Bezier in
How to bring your own Bezier drawing in! As far as I know the drawing app Canvas is the only program that lets you export the Bezier Control Points of a Bezier as a textlist. Mac Trail: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/1924/canvas Not working on OSX 10.7 PC Trail: http://www.acdsee.com/en/products/canvas-12 Open the Canvas Trail ( I have nothing to do with that company) Use the pentool to draw your Bezier. Make sure you are using pixel as your Unit When you have finished your drawing go to: MENU: Object / Object Path Editor / PopupMenu / Copy Now you have all the Bezier Control Points in memory Use this script to parse the data in memory in Livecode on ClipToBezier put the clipBoardData[text] into xxx replace , with . in xxx set the itemDel to tab repeat with i = 1 to number of lines of xxx put trunc(item 1 of line i of xxx) into item 1 of line i of xxx put trunc(item 2 of line i of xxx) into item 2 of line i of xxx end repeat replace tab with , in xxx put xxx end ClipToBezier Now you have a pointList that LiveCode can work with. You can then replace the points in Custom Prop LeoPoints with your own.

Re: text size and HTMLtext
Hi 吉野 孝, You will have to set the text size of the text chunks inside the field, rather than the field itself. It can be a little tricky. You can try: set the textSize of line 1 of fld ja to nn Or you can try modifying the htmlText of the field: replace size= quote nn in fld ja with size= quote xx You have to experiment a little bit, but you can make it work.

[OT] Excessive Wireless Traffic from iPhone running iOS5
A couple of weeks ago, I noticed an occasional huge slowdown in internet access from home. Whenever this occurred, it was obvious from the lights on my wireless router that a huge amount of wireless traffic was happening. In true old-fashioned trouble shooting mode, I tried to figure out what might have changed in any computer setups in my home. The only thing that I could come up with was that my wife upgraded her iPhone to ios5 round about the time this started happening. From the circumstances, I believe this is happening when the iPhone is syncing wirelessly with iTunes on my wife's Mac laptop. That only happens over WiFi and when the phone is charging, both of which are the case when this wireless traffic problem occurs. I verified this by switching off WiFi on the iuPhone last time this happened and sure enough, the wireless traffic stopped. Have any of you iPhone users experienced anything similar to this? Obviously there has to be WiFi traffic for the iPhone to sync, but there isn't that much data on my wife's iPhone so I'm not understanding the extreme wireless activity. Meantime my Android phone has been wireless syncing perfectly for months.

Re: Automatic object resizing on card changes
on opencard revUpdateGeometry end opencard Note: it is generally saver to write your own resize handlers. The geometry manger will sooner or later mess up, and strew your objects into random locations (negative or huge numbers, offscreen, huge mess!). I suggest to instead write your own resize code. That is a bit more upfront, but at least you know what goes wrong when it doesn't look as it should. For example: --in the card script on openCard resizeStack the width of this card, the height of this card end openCard --resizeStack is a built in handler --it also happens when the user uses the OS-given resize capabilities of a window on resizeStack theWidth theHeight set the rect of field example to 0,64,theWidth,theHeight --fills whole card, leaves space for controls at top set the right of button example to (theWidth - 16) -- right align a button end resizeStack On 3 Nov 2011, at 18:46, John Brozycki wrote: Hello, Given a resizable stack with, say, two cards that both have objects that have their geometry set to scale on resize (like a text field) what is the best way to get objects on card 2 to automatically resize when card one is resized and then a button is selected to go to card 2?

Re: Automatic object resizing on card changes
Hi John, This really depends on the situation. Here's a very simple example: on resizeStack put the rect if this cd into myRect add 16 to item 1 of myRect add 16 to item 2 of myRect subtract 16 from item 3 of myRect subtract 16 from item 4 of myRect set the rect of fld 1 to myRect end resizeStack By setting object sizes and positions relative to the card rect, you avoid many problems. If e.g. you calculate the new points based on the current points relative to the card rect, your objects will slowly change location: // wrong on resizeStack theOldW,theOldH,theNewW,theNewH put the loc of fld 1 into myLoc put item 1 of fld myLoc / theOldW into myRatio put myRatio * theNewW comma item 2 of myLoc into myNewLoc set the loc of fld 1 to myNewLoc end resizeStack The script above will eventually round off the loc of the object and the location may be off by one pixel. Instead, try to find a way to set the location directly: // correct on resizeStack set the loc of fld 1 to item 1 of the loc of this cd comma item 2 of the loc of fld 1 end resizeStack The second (quite obvious) approach will never cause rounding problems. Btw, the second and third script change the location of a field horizontally, relative to the right side of a card, keeping the field horizontally centered. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Become our partner in sales http://qery.us/16r Start selling Color Converter today. 20% commission!

looking for a co-presenter...
On November 12th I'm going to present at the weekly Live LiveCode Code meeting, showing off Director. When I showed Unity and Flash I had a co-presenter who showed LiveCode doing some of the features those other tools are known for. Those meetings went well. For a partner to show LiveCode doing Director's string points, I was hoping to find someone who can show LiveCode handling some of the media types that Director can handle. Some are easy enough, others are not. Here are the media types Director can play, that LiveCode isn't known for handling: Custom color palettes. Byte Arrays Flash movies 3D RealMedia Windows Media MP4 FLV F4V Fonts DVD-Video Animated GIFs There are several other things it handles, but that LiveCode can also use. So, would anyone be interested in trying to show LiveCode using any of those kinds of media?

Re: looking for a co-presenter...
Hi Colin, I think playing those media types in LiveCode is a big PITA. MP4 can be played with QT. Some others in the browser plugin, if some requirements are met. If your main goal is to display different media types, rather than user interaction, text manipulation, database querying etc, then Director probably has a big advantage over LiveCode. Maybe that's why it is difficult to find a co-presenter? -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Become our partner in sales http://qery.us/16r Start selling Color Converter today. 20% commission!

Re: needs saving
Right. Then I have to figure out what to hash, which is do-able. But it doesn't answer the most important question: I need to trap a general message to trigger this so as to set the dirty flag on the window. I suppose the backup plan would be a send-in-time handler to check the hash periodically -- this means the hashing test would have to be very fast so as not to interrupt user input perceptibly. To be really complete, I'd probably want to get the hash of the whole stack, but I can't find a way to do that. The sha1digest() and md5digest() functions both expect a string input. I'd hate to have to script a concatenation of all fields and customprops, and I'd have to comb through a bunch of scripts to make sure that that would capture all the possible changes a user could make anyway. Even if I solve those problems, I'm still looking for a message to trigger the thing, though. -- Peter Peter M.

Re: Automatic object resizing on card changes
A big thanks to BvG and Mark for your replies. Not only did BvG provide the quick and dirty answer: on opencard revUpdateGeometry end opencard ...but both BvG and Mark provided sample code code for handling resizing on your own. Thanks! I really appreciate it, guys! -John On Nov 4, 2011, at 7:44 AM, Mark Schonewille wrote: Hi John, This really depends on the situation. Here's a very simple example: on resizeStack put the rect if this cd into myRect add 16 to item 1 of myRect add 16 to item 2 of myRect subtract 16 from item 3 of myRect subtract 16 from item 4 of myRect set the rect of fld 1 to myRect end resizeStack By setting object sizes and positions relative to the card rect, you avoid many problems. If e.g. you calculate the new points based on the current points relative to the card rect, your objects will slowly change location: // wrong on resizeStack theOldW,theOldH,theNewW,theNewH put the loc of fld 1 into myLoc put item 1 of fld myLoc / theOldW into myRatio put myRatio * theNewW comma item 2 of myLoc into myNewLoc set the loc of fld 1 to myNewLoc end resizeStack The script above will eventually round off the loc of the object and the location may be off by one pixel. Instead, try to find a way to set the location directly: // correct on resizeStack set the loc of fld 1 to item 1 of the loc of this cd comma item 2 of the loc of fld 1 end resizeStack The second (quite obvious) approach will never cause rounding problems. Btw, the second and third script change the location of a field horizontally, relative to the right side of a card, keeping the field horizontally centered. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Become our partner in sales http://qery.us/16r Start selling Color Converter today. 20% commission!

It doesn't do this automatically- you have to resize the second card. Make the second card much larger than the first was, and when you go back the objects on the first card are all off. With each card, you have to manually resize for the objects to adjust properly. Shouldn't this happen automatically when you configure the geometry settings? I've tried using revWChangeWindowSize on my button to the next card, but it doesn't appear to do anything for object sizing. Sorry if this is a basic question, but I can't find how to do this.

Re: [OT] Excessive Wireless Traffic from iPhone running iOS5
BigBrother is watching you! Your IPhone is sending to Apple the localisation data recorded by your phone the previous days. This happens only when you have WIFI access. Jacques Clavel 2011/11/3 Pete p...@mollysrevenge.com A couple of weeks ago, I noticed an occasional huge slowdown in internet access from home. Whenever this occurred, it was obvious from the lights on my wireless router that a huge amount of wireless traffic was happening. In true old-fashioned trouble shooting mode, I tried to figure out what might have changed in any computer setups in my home. The only thing that I could come up with was that my wife upgraded her iPhone to ios5 round about the time this started happening. From the circumstances, I believe this is happening when the iPhone is syncing wirelessly with iTunes on my wife's Mac laptop. That only happens over WiFi and when the phone is charging, both of which are the case when this wireless traffic problem occurs. I verified this by switching off WiFi on the iuPhone last time this happened and sure enough, the wireless traffic stopped. Have any of you iPhone users experienced anything similar to this? Obviously there has to be WiFi traffic for the iPhone to sync, but there isn't that much data on my wife's iPhone so I'm not understanding the extreme wireless activity. Meantime my Android phone has been wireless syncing perfectly for months.

Correction to myself. If you try the stack in LiveCode, then make an app, it doesn't work. If you make an app without trying the stack, then the app does download and open the stack. There is code in the stack, but it's trying to put MobGUI into use, which I don't have. So whether the code is trying to work and then failing, or failing to work altogether, I'm not sure. I'll change it to point to a different stack. Ok, it does definitely work in a local test.

'#PHONE_NO', '#CREATED_ON', after tSQLQuery
Put '#ENTRY_POINT', '#COMMENT', '#AMOUNT', '#MONETRA_USER',
'#MONETRA_MSG', '#CC_NO'); after tSQLQuery
the poke it like this:
replace #FIRST_NAME with gFormData[first_name] in tSQLQuery
replace #COMMENT with gFormData[comment] in tSQLQuery
replace #EMAIL_ADDRESS with gFormData[email_address] in tSQLQuery
when the data in the array values contain certain characters, the
insertion query fails.
I have been able to definitively diagnose at least two cases (there are
probably more)
if the data contains an ampersand or a dot, the query fails e.g these
will all cause the insertion to fail:
First Name: Ravi Sheela # ampersand
Comment: All the books audio [etc.] # ampersand
email address: gail.w...@verizon.com # dot in the email address.
so, I'm not sure what to do.
I need to escape all the special chars (I don't even have a list of what
they are) in the gFormData array values that will break the SQL query. And
we also have to block SQL injection attempts at the same time
My baby xTalk method would be tortuous: for each key/value in the
gFormData array
put gFormData[first_name] in tFirstName
put fixBadChars(tFirstName) into tFirstName
replace #FIRST_NAME with tFirstName in tSQLQuery
function fixBadChars pString
replace with and in pString
# and more of these which I don't even know what they would be
# and replacing the dot in the email will mean the email is wrong
after insertion
return pString
end fixBadChars
I'm sure this has been dealt with already... Does anyone have a escape
input data for SQL insertion library they can share?
