Sample stack demonstrating how to obtain all properties and custom properties of a stack?
Hi All, Does anyone know of a sample stack demonstrating how to pull all of the properties and custom properties out of a stack, putting them into a file, and then demonstrating how to put the file of data back into the stack (or into another copy or clone of the original stack)?

Re: Sample stack demonstrating how to obtain all properties and custom properties of a stack?
Get the customProperties of a stack. It is an array. Get the properties of a stack. It is (almost) all of the properties of the stack as an array. at this point the easiest thing to do to save them as a file on disk is to arrayEncode() them and write them to a low level file. Not sure if you need to base64 encode them too. Only way to tell is to try. See open file, read from file, and write to file in the dictionary. Putting the standard properties back is a bit trickier though. I don't think you can set the properties of a stack. I think you have to loop through them. repeat for each element pProp in theStackProps;set the pProp of this stack to theStackProps[pProp] off the top of my head. You may however be able to just set the customProperties of a stack.

Initial Orientation
Greetings! I have a iPad project I am working on... in the resizeStack routine, I am resizing all the controls on all the cards so when they rotate the iPad, everything will update and look pretty. This is working great! My problem is when the app launches, apparently no resizeStack message is sent. So, if the user has the devise rotated differently that when I saved the stack, the app appears in the wrong rotation. If you then rotate the device, everything updates correctly. I have put resizeStack messages in preOpenStack and openStack. I also tried a send resizeStack to this stack in 0 ticks which did not fix the problem. If I send it in 1 second, it works but yuck! I am sure there is a proper way to handle this situation... anyone know how to deal with this issue? Thank you in advance! -Dan ___ 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

Richard, How would you rate your experience/satisfaction level so far, as it applies to actual LC development using Unity? Pretty much as with any other distro I've worked with: under-the-hood operations (string manipulation, calculations) perform on par with other platforms, but some aspects of text rendering are noticeably slower. And of course there's the lack of feature parity with other platforms RunRev supports, like missing externals, video playback as weak as on Windows, weak drag-and-drop support, and a few others. These weaknesses in the Linux engine are especially ironic since MetaCard was born on Unix and historically maintained good parity as new platforms were added, and moreover the Linux engine costs twice as much as other platforms while delivering less. :\ That said, overall few of these affect my work (except video playback, which also also hinders opportunities for my Windows apps), so for most projects I'm able to do what I need to do on whatever platform I happen to be using that day. -- 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

[OT] LIve Video Streaming
I'm involved in a project to stream a music concert live over the internet. I've used streaming services before (not the least livecode tv with ustream) but this is a bit different. The main difference is that I need to use an external camera, not a built in one. I just don;t think the image quality will be good enough to use a typical webcam. The issue that arises is finding a video camera that is capable of sending what it's seeing in real time to a laptop via Firewire or USB, whether or not it is recording it to whatever medium it uses. Most of the streaming services have camera recommendations, but they are all miniDV cameras and, as far as I can tell, that technology is old enough that nobody makes cameras that use it any longer. I know it's a long shot but does anyone have any knowledge in this area?

Logitech has a great new webcam for about 100 bucks. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/webcam-communications/webcams/devices/hd-pro-webcam-c910 1080p and so sharp it hurts. Get the audio off of the PA separately, however. Distant mics always suck for music, no matter the quality. However, it has no zoom and no mount for a tripod. MAY I SUGGEST though, for the comfort of your viewers and the quality of the presentation that you plan for a video input through firewire, using a camera you can move around, and even switch views using multiple cameras and hardware or software video switchers. like BOINXTVhttp://www.boinx.com/boinxtv/overview/ (I use it and like it) You can serve or bounce to your streaming provider using quicktime Broadcaster (free), although the provider often supplies that part. Expecting viewers to sit though a long musical presentation with no shot variety is really a lot to ask, and if the camera doesn't move it's like a security camera. So if you have just one camera, dedicate a dedicated person that has no other task but to point it appropriately, with variety. Keep the camera moving.

Re: Sample stack demonstrating how to obtain all properties and custom properties of a stack?
well if one were setting all of the properties of a stack, they'd have to be set to another stack. set the properties of stack b to the properties of stack a Easier to copy the stack.Can all the properties be placed into a variable? I think some props will be left out by design, otherwise objects would blow up. A while ago I experimented with saving complete descriptions of livecode objects as text with some success. It was possible to get most, but not all properties in repeat loops, however I found that the recursive code needed to bury within groups of groups was just too time consuming to be worth it. It was pointless to continue, the packaging I desired was much more easily handled and portable with the Livecode containers.

Re: [OT] LIve Video Streaming
Ho Stepehn, Thanks a lot for all this info. Unfortunately, my budget isn;t going to allow me to do some for the things you mentioned, much as I would like to have multiple cameras going. Since I sent the original post, I discovered that a friend of mine has a Canon XHA1S HDV camera which I am almost certain will do the job. I hope so because it looks like a very high end camera. Thanks for the tip on changing camera angles, that makes perfect sense. I think I can find someone to operate the camera during the concert, although it will be tethered to a laptop with a firewire cable so probably not much movement available. But at least, he will be able to do some zooming in/out and left/right panning to make things a little less boring.

Most of the streaming services have camera recommendations, but they are all miniDV cameras and, as far as I can tell, that technology is old enough that nobody makes cameras that use it any longer. I know it's a long shot but does anyone have any knowledge in this area?

Re: [OT] LIve Video Streaming
The problem we've always had with board mixes, especially in smaller venues, is that we have a bagpiper. The pipes are so loud that the sound engineer generally has very little, if any, of them in the mix so when you play back the board mix, they sound like they're not there! Which some might say is a good thing! However, I think the idea of adding some house mics and putting them into the mix that goes to the camera (but not the house mix) will help with that. Depending on the board capabilites, it might also be possible to mix in the bagpipe channel to the camera mix but not the house mix.

Distant mics always suck for music, no matter the quality. I'll defer to Stephen's comments here (and I'm off to check out that webcam) but I'll add my vote to this. If you can use the soundboard feed (and especially if you can optionally use a different mix from the house mix) you'll have a much happier web audience. You can add an audience mic to the mix for the ambience if desired. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net ___ 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 -- 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
Re: Launcher stacks on iOS etc.
I do, because my apps have to to go to different stacks depending on the running environment. My launcher handles that and also initialises SQLite databases. Using a launcher also lets me store files that need to be copied to the device in one place, rather than in multiple places, given that the app can run in multiple environments.
