Movie problems in LiveCode
I confirm bug 14435 reported by Devin Asay regarding the current problem with creating movies on Macintosh using LiveCode versions in the LC6-7 series. This is a significant problem since it appears impossible at this point to create standalones on the Mac that will display player movies on Windows. This is because in the LC 6-7 versions for Mac (preliminary version 8, too) once a relative path is placed in the Property Inspector filename window of a movie player on Mac it immediately reverts to the absolute path on closing the Inspector. I could not assign a relative path by script either. This makes it impossible with LC 6-7 versions to create a standalone on a Macintosh for Windows that contains a functioning player movie, since there is no relative path in the player Property Inspector, and Windows therefore doesn’t recognize the movie. There an additional problem: The later Mac versions of LC apparently will not display a Quicktime VR movie on the Mac. Can anyone display a Quicktime VR movie in the Mac LC 6-7 series? I use a lot of movies, and therefore have stayed with Mac LC version 5.5.3, which works fine. Interestingly, these problems do not exist with LiveCode for Windows. The movie player in Windows (Vista) with LC 7.0 remembers the relative path. Also in the Windows version there is no difficulty in displaying a Quicktime VR movie. And yet another movie problem: Trying to change the loc of a movieClip in its Property Inspector does not work (for me) on Mac or Windows in Mac versions 5.5.3 or later or in Windows 7.0 (the only Windows version I have tested); the movieClip always appears in the same location on the screen regardless of where the loc is set in the movieClip inspector. There is thus a triple whammy regarding movies, involving Quicktime player movies, Quicktime VR movies, and videoClips. I hope these problems are corrected soon, as movies are an important feature of LiveCode, particularly for educators. Stephen Goldberg, President Medmaster Publishing Co.

Re: Toggling a Single Radio Button
I’ve seen radio buttons set up to work like checkboxes before, mostly in web browser built into appliances, and thought what an odd way to use a checkbox!

Re: printPaperRectangle LC7
Paul, I think I’ve figured out how to make the settings stick and with the correct dimensions: There is some poor dialogue box design from Apple involved so please be patient while I try to explain. Firstly open a Page Setup Dialogue Box. There is a pop up menu at the top titled Settings which has 2 items in it. 1. Page Attributes 2. Save as Default Select all the settings you require: Orientation Paper Size Scale and choose your printer in Format For: DO NOT PRESS OK YET Now go to the popup menu titled Settings and select “Save as Default” Now Press OK. You can now quit LiveCode. Reopen LiveCode and print using something like: on mouseUp answer printer as sheet if the result = cancel then exit mouseUp end if send printChart to group generalChart end mouseUp I have found that LC/Printer has maintained it’s settings from the previous session. I suspect that using the Page Setup Dialogue Box to apply settings to different printers will result in those being applied if you select a different printer in the answer printer dialogue box.

Re: API
Richmond, This maybe the blind leading the blind, but here is my take. Hopefully someone will correct me. Take a look at ~/livecode/libscript/src/foreign.mlc. Here is where foreign types are defined. Now take a look at ~/livecode/libscript/src/math.mlcNote that use com.livecode.foreign pulls in the type definitions Just after the use com.livecode.foreign statement you can see where the foreign handlers are being defined and their arguments are being associated with data types. I have not quite figured out the details of the bind directive, but I think it is providing direction to the compiler as to where to find the foreign code. So line 38 sets up the arguments and data types for MCMathEvalSinNumber. Now look at line 123. This looks like where the sin operator syntax is being defined for the LCB compiler. Line 129 looks like where the _LCS_ interface for the sin function is being defined. 131 is where the native binding is happening between LCS and the native function MCMathEvalSinNumber. Between all of these pieces is where the magic happen. So if you assume that i am even remotely close to being correct, let's go look at ~/livecode/tests/lcb/_testrunner.lcb line 20 is pulling in the type definitions line 44 is defining the mapping of the parameter for the __system function. Note that the binding is different. line 46 is defining the Shell command for LCS line 48 is where the magic is taking place. I am still trying to figure out how the bind to ... works. Some where there has to be a linkage between this bind step and the OS level library, So at run time, the library is loaded into memory and the final address resolution takes place. I hope that someone will confirm/correct/ or otherwise educate.

Hi LiveCoders Today I have updated all my externals to support building against the iOS 8.2 SDK in Xcode 6.2. mergAV has a few new features - the ability to list and choose other audio and video inputs rather than just the front and rear camera - mergAVPick will now save the image metadata if you are picking an image. This is something you can't do with the command in the engine for picking a photo. - mergAVPick now has an extra parameter so you can get the original file data. This uses the Photos framework so is iOS 8+ - There's a new command for saving an image to the image library so that it retains it's metadata. Also not possible with the command in the engine. There is also to new externals in the free section: - mergDevice - just one function to get the device name - mergScreen - get and set the screen brightness Cheers Monte -- M E R Goulding Software development services Bespoke application development for vertical markets mergExt - There's an external for that! ___ 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: printPaperRectangle LC7
Thank you for the notes, I have tried setting the defaults, but unfortunately it still can't do what I need, I have 5 different printers and all but two have very different paper margins. I realise now that it's not LC's fault when things go awry, but at least I found an odd workaround for the current problem by calling the Page Setup after the Print dialogue, it's a bit klunky, but at least everything lines up correctly that way. I've had notice today that the print card… 'into pageRect' should be fixed in LC7.0.4-rc-3 which is currently awaiting build.
