Motion Graphic in LiveCode
If one wanted to do some very short, but high quality motion graphics in LifeCode, what are the options? I assume that all we have is the ability to play small video clips in a player object. But then Quicktime is required -- or have we gone beyond Quicktime now... I'm not sure where media playback stands in the current releases. Swasti Astu, Be Well!

Back to Stacks! New Text Properties

Sparkles at the end of a pencil point
I was looking at some apps for Kids with a lady who may assist with creating functional specifications for edutainment apps. A lot of the do all kinds of swirly stuff with amazing colors. I haven't the faintest idea how to being to doing something like this in LiveCode and even if you create that kind of graphic effect that would actually run at a decent speed. i would settle for starters for sparkly stuff coming off the end of a pencil point that kid might use to draw... or her own finger on a tablet app. Is this kind of runtime motion effect even doable? If so, does anyone have any code they can share?

The G5 is now set up as dual-boot: 10.4.11 10.5.8. I am posting this to the Use-List as well as a G5 is a d*mn fine machine which can be used extremely constructively, and if people have G5s lying around not being used they really need to consider that that is one of the ways of keeping Grannies, Granddads, and other inconvenient and penurious relatives happy and occupied.

I would suppose one of the very simple ways (?) to do this sort of thing would be to have one's puzzle pieces saved as either PNG or GIF images with rather large transparent borders. Each of your puzzle pieces could overlay an animated GIF which would consist of all the frames to produce the airy-fairies: the two images would then be grouped. So it would be the group [consisting of the puzzle piece and an underlying companion GIF] that would be dropped on the target. The group would contain code so that when it was dropped on the target the animated GIF would play once or twice and then stop. --- Two problems here: 1. Controlling when the animated GIF plays [the first and last frame would have to be completely transparent]: But, as far as I recall, this has been documented either on the Use-List or in the Forums. 2. Making the animated GIF images to do the sparkles. If I can get my mitts on a sparkly animated GIF [not much enthusiasm about trying to make one] I will give this a go, as it sound both fun and potentially useful in my own Elementary school endeavours.

Use 'the short name' property to get just the name of the card (or whatever object you’re referring to), without getting the object type information.

Re: Why doesn't menupick work
Hi, card is part of the name, but not of the short name. A correct card reference is card The short name This would be the complete name of the card and you can use it directly in a script: go card The short name put (there is a card The short name) There are a few things I would not do: 1) starting card names with numbers 2) starting card names with spaces 3) including any special characters such as / or # or non-printable characters in card names 4) starting the short name of a card with card References such as go card 1 go cd 1 go card card 1 bla would be either incorrect or a source of confusion. Depending on which version you're using, the combobox might be returning unicode. I don't really expect his, but it is easy to check, using the lenght function: on menuPick theItem put len(theItem) end menuPick and see if the number is what you expect. Did you make the list of cards in the combobox manually? Perhaps you can use this syntax: put the cardNames of this stack into btn Your Combobox -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Installer Maker for LiveCode: http://qery.us/468 Buy my new book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://qery.us/3fi LiveCode on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/runrev/ On 8/21/2014 13:02, revolut...@duncansoftware.on-rev.com wrote: On 8/20/2014, 8:08 PM, revolut...@duncansoftware.on-rev.com wrote: Why doesn't this code work? on menuPick pItemName go card pItemName end menuPick where the comboBox has a list of card names.

Re: Motion Graphic in LiveCode
One of the Kickstarter goals was Upgraded Player control using latest native video libraries on all platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android). The first step in implementing that goal is happening in LiveCode 6.7.0 and 7.0 here is a new player object for the Mac Platform which is based on AVFoundation. This means it will basically play .mov, .mp4 and .m4v movies which use the .h264 codec. The player is not using the AVkit controller since that is only available for Mavericks and beyond so RunRev is rolling their own. There has been lots of work by the team in ensuring the features available in the old controller are present in the new controller. There are some differences and some enhancements however. if you search the quality for LiveCode 6.7.0 DPs you can see reports of enhancements or comments about what differences their will be. Most of the reports related to the player have their description prefaced with [[Player]]. Most of the [[Player]] bugs reported have been fixed but there are still some outstanding that have been confirmed and are in various stages of being fixed. My understanding is that this new player controller will be the basis for the native controllers on other platforms so getting it right at this stage is important. If you haven't tried it out yet you should do it while it is still in the DP stage. I have been testing in my use cases which cover most of the features of the current player but there are some features that I don't currently use like chapters and I am sure a couple others that would be good for someone who uses that to do some testing on it.

Linux (Ubuntu mainly) Installer
Does anyone have any suggestions for packaging an app for Linux release. Im a total Linux newbie, I have it on a couple of machines and my app runs fine but I wouldn’t have a clue where to look for the best installer, or how to package it up so it can use the software manager. Does anyone here deploy their app to the public running Linux, and if you don’t mind sharing how do you do it? ___ 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: Back to Stacks! New Text Properties
Very useful stack. One thing that's missing is that you can now define tabstops for a paragraph as well as for a field, although I'm guessing that's part of the simple table example.

speed
A while ago I did a test for speed with 'repeat for'. It turned out that with items it worked the fasted. Chars were slower and words even more so. Now I redid the test with 'LineOffset'. To my surprise: with chars was considerably faster. A long list with lines like 'aabcbcax' (chars) OR a,a,b,c,b,ca,x, (items) and finding a specific line gave the following time results in ticks (depending on how deep down the wanted line was in the list ) : items chars 57 42 45302871 29082087 24 15 I did the lineOffset for 1 specific string and repeated the lineOffset 10 times. The variation with the chars was about 1.35 to 1.6 times as fast as the variation with items. Can anybody confirm this from experience and maybe explain why the LineOffset works faster with strings of chars, while the repeat for works faster with items? I would also appreciate any other insights in how to speed up routines, as I am working a a program with Evolutionary Algorithms and I need to do hundred of thousands of calculations in each run, so speed is quite important.

Re: speed
It'll be hard to give specific guidance without seeing your current code you tested with, and a representative data sample. There are many ways to parse text in LC, and some are better with certain types of data than others. Total line length, number of items in each line, average length of each item, etc. can each effect outcomes somewhat differently using different methods. If you have an opportunity to bundle up some data and a sample stack with your test code, I'm sure at least a couple of us may find time to see what can be suggested for it. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com Beat Cornaz wrote: A while ago I did a test for speed with 'repeat for'.

iOS option button with cancel like mobilePick
To create a pickwheel in iOS that supports unicode I am using (rather than mobilePick) a button with the style of “menu” and menuMode set to “option”. This works well but I was wondering if there was any way to include the standard “Cancel” button feature with this method like can be done using mobilePick.
