That may be something to do with LC as the Page Setup dialogue is a system wide dialogue and who knows if LC has done something that may corrupt it. Needs LC to pass comment really.

Bug in LC Page Setup Dialogue Box in LC 6.7.3 and 7.0.3 OSX
When you call on myPageSetup answer page setup as sheet if the result = cancel then exit myPageSetup end if end myPageSetup and select “Save As Default” from the “Settings” popup menu the selection does not stick and immediately reverts back to “Page Attributes”. Having checked the correct function of this in Apples Pages which does stick when selecting “Save As Default” I have concluded this is a Bug.

Re: Question re large project organization
Folks: Just a gripe about the standalone builder. The bug I reported still stands, though. This is my fault, though and it leaves me wishing there was a clear explanation of the standalone builder and where files get put for various configurations. This one was the checkbox on the “Copy Files” pane that said “Copy referenced files”, and gave a location that didn’t sound too bad. Well, I did want to copy the files, so I checked it. But then some of the referenced text files disappeared into the “great beyond”. Finally, after spending a couple of hours preparing a test file for a bug report, and I couldn’t get the problem to re-occur, I found that the checkbox “Copy Referenced Files”, if unchecked, was the solution. File Paths: I assume I need to modify the file paths to various included stacks and data files to fit where the standalone builder puts them. This means getting the main stack file path, and creating new paths to locations like “Content/Resources/_MacOS/….” I remember something about the system taking care of file path changes between the dev environment and the standalone environment, but I haven’t made that work. Anyway, just venting.

Bug in LC Menu when opening windows as a sheet LC 6.7.3 and 7.0.3 OS X?
I noticed this when moving Page Setup to the MenuBar of my project but it also applies to any other window that is attached as a sheet and opened from the MenuBar. When you select say the “File” menu from the menubar then it is highlighted in blue. If you then select say “Page Setup…” or any other window that will open as a sheet then once the sheet window is opened the “File” menu remains highlighted in blue. I believe that is incorrect, in that the menu should not be highlighted when the sheet window is displayed. Is their some other action I should take or is this indeed a bug as I suspect?

Re: Movie problems in LiveCode
Hi Stephen, I think Apple dropped support for QuickTime VR movies in AVKit - which is the current Movie framework for OS X. Apple deprecated QuickTime and QTKit in OS X 10.9 and you can't now sell apps in the app store that link against QuickTime. You're supposed to move to AVKit and AV Foundation. If you look at the Release Notes for the latest versions of LiveCode it gets a mention on the section on Cocoa Support.

What is the value of the result immediately after your play command? It may also help to add a call to sysError there, e.g.: play tSomeFile if the result is not empty then answer the result ( sysError() ) end if My hunch is that the result will say something about the media being non-initializable, and sysError will return 2, for file not found. You could double-check that the default directory is correct at the moment that call is made, but it may be that the newer APIs simply don't allow partial file paths anymore, that the developer is expected to resolve those to full paths before calling the OS routines that play them. I don't know for sure, but I've always been wary of shipping things that rely on relative paths, since any other script can change the default directory out from under me at any time.

Re: Question re large project organization
Phil: Tnx for the info. I did try the “password protect” checkbox and put in a password, but there must be something I’m missing because after making a standalone, the password checkbox and entered password has been set back to blank in the “Standalone Settings” “stacks” panel, and the stacks that I specified have not been password protected. I can open the source stack and compare it to one generated for the app, and they are the same (in a text editor) and still have the “.livecode” extension. Of course, the main “splash” stack has been encrypted, as expected. Is there some other setting I need to make, to enable this? When I create the standalone, only the “splash” stack is open, but ….

Are you finding you can access the scripts of objects in your standalone after building them with the password option? If so, I would suggest filing a bug report on that. Also, I’m exploring the ramifications of this approach and considering whether the apple store will not accept my standalones built this way, for desktop. Many apps have binary object files stored outside of the executable. I can't imagine Apple wouldn't single out LiveCode for prohibition on this. The only prohibition I'm aware of is against any app that downloads executable code not present with the app bundle when reviewed. The concern there seems legitimate, and not at all specific to LiveCode: they just want to make sure they don't review an app that claims to do one thing and later find its downloading code to do something entirely different. It is my understanding that substacks can be separated from mainstacks, but you can’t put a stack back as a substack once it’s out. TRUE?

Re: SQL lite adding records
Hi John, A few ideas for you. You should issue a BEGIN statement right before your repeat statement and move your revCommitDatabase to right after the end repeat. Better performance and guarantees db integrity. For some reason I don't understand, LC does not have a revxxx statement to issue a BEGIN so you will need to use revExecuteSQL gConID,BEGIN right before the repeat statement. Within the repeat, don't forget to check if revExecuteSQL resulted in any errors by checking the result right after it - it will be a numeric value if all worked OK, otherwise an error message. If an error occurs, issue a revRollBackDatabase command and exit the repeat. That will return your database to a consistent state before any of your INSERTs happened. I'm a little confused by your INSERT statement. You name 4 columns in the table but only supply 2 values, maybe tLine has comma separated values in it? If so, you will need to enclose each value in single quotes if they are not numeric. Also, if recID is the primary key, no need to include it in the list of columns to be updated or supply a value for it, SQL will take care of that for you. Hope that helps, On Tue, Mar 24, 2015 at 5:04 PM JB sund...@pacifier.com wrote: I am using MySql on a local host and creating a database then adding records.

SQL lite adding records
I am using MySql on a local host and creating a database then adding records. After creating the table I was using the handler below to add records. I was not using the revCommitDatabase gConID statement after each record and some times my database would be missing one or two records. After including the revCommitDatabase gConID statement it appears to be including them all. Is this the proper and fastest way to add records in a sql lite database or should I be using something else like a query to update instead? on fAddFiles set the itemDelimiter to tab put fld id 5246 of cd id 5187 into tList repeat for each line tLine in tList put INSERT INTO tFiles(recID,field2, field3, field4) VALUES(null, tLine ) into sqTable revExecuteSQL gConID,sqTable revCommitDatabase gConID end repeat fRefresh gConIDClose end fAddFiles Any information or ideas are helpful.

Hi Peter, Thank you so much for the detailed info! Each value has single quotes now but it would be nice to do it without quotes as adding them takes more time.

Your way will be a lot better and I will include the error checking too. I really do not know that much about using a database so if things look weird it is due to me not knowing what I am doing.

[OT] Problem with MySQL Insert
In a table in a MySQL database, I need a field displaying a time period
corresponding to the half hour period during which a record was posted. The
period is in the form HH:MM-HH:MM AM|PM. I have set the field type to
VARCHAR(10) and LiveCode is passing the string to the query handler. MySQL
is interpreting the incoming text as a date and converting it to my local
offset from server time.
In the Variable Watcher, before the revExecuteSQL, the pPeriod has the
correct time period; e.g., 11:00-11:30 PM. In the database, Sequel Pro
shows the period field with a value of 6:00-6:30 PM when Jacque in
Minnesota posts the record at 11:00 PM Minnesota time, and 4:00-4:30 PM
when I do it in California.
I'm surprised that MySQL is doing this interpretation of a character string
to a time value. How do I prevent that from happening?
In Sequel Pro, I entered this command:
INSERT INTO report
(`shortdate`,`period`,`dsp_id`, `dsp_name`, `client_id`,`client_name`,
`behavior_label`, `behavior_desc`, `observed`)
VALUES (3/15/2014,12:30-1:00
PM,22,fred,22,lucy,jumping,high,1)
and the period field correctly displayed 12:30-1:00 PM.
Here's the LiveCode handler:
on sendReport pShortDate,pPeriod,pDSPid,pDSPname,pClientID,pClientName,pRows
getConnected ## establishes the database connection
set the itemDel to tab
put INSERT INTO report (`shortdate`,`period`,`dsp_id`, `dsp_name`,
`client_id`,`client_name`, `behavior_label`, `behavior_desc`, `observed`)
\
VALUES into tSQL
repeat for each line thisRow in pRows
put (' pShortDate ', ' pPeriod ', ' pDSPid ', '
pDSPname ', ' pClientID ', ' pClientName ', ' \
item 1 of thisRow ', ' item 2 of thisRow ', ' item 3
of thisRow '), after tSQL
end repeat
put ; into last char of tSQL
revExecuteSQL gBTdbID,tSQL
...
Any ideas how to do this?

Are you finding you can access the scripts of objects in your standalone after building them with the password option? If so, I would suggest filing a bug report on that. Also, I’m exploring the ramifications of this approach and considering whether the apple store will not accept my standalones built this way, for desktop. Many apps have binary object files stored outside of the executable. I can't imagine Apple wouldn't single out LiveCode for prohibition on this. The only prohibition I'm aware of is against any app that downloads executable code not present with the app bundle when reviewed. The concern there seems legitimate, and not at all specific to LiveCode: they just want to make sure they don't review an app that claims to do one thing and later find its downloading code to do something entirely different. It is my understanding that substacks can be separated from mainstacks, but you can’t put a stack back as a substack once it’s out. TRUE? Stacks can be moved in both directions: set a stack's mainstack to the name of some other stack and it becomes a substack of that other stack. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.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 ___ 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

I want to also develop a method for use in Windows. But since Windows has no built in equivalent to Inter-Application Communications (IAC otherwise known as Applescript) I am wondering if there is a way to do this via a shell command. I can execute Javascript alright by using wscript.exe, but how to get the message to Acrobat or Reader?

Hi Bill, In the IDE, the 'Stacks' panel of the 'Standalone Application Settings' window lets you include them as stacks in your standalone.

RE: [OT] Pixar's Renderman
Yes, Unreal is free, but you owe them 5% of your royalties if you make over $3k. Unity 5 is free if you make less than $100k. Unity really kicked this off; I think Unreal's license is probably the least complex, but most of the other companies who are doing this sort of thing have some kind of limitation that will motivate you to buying a paid for commercial version. I am not sure about 5, but previous versions of Unity you needed to pay a fairly steep fee to distribute mobile games. We've been giving away free versions of Valentina Studio, and (limited license) free versions of Valentina Server for quite some time now. It is a very effective strategy as long as you have a way to get people to want to give you money for something more.

Re: Movie problems in LiveCode
Hi Stephen: As others have mentioned, QuickTime was deprecated by Apple a while back. See ³Deprecated Frameworks² on this page: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/releasenotes/MacOSX/WhatsNewInOSX/ Articles/MacOSX10_9.html In some simple tests, it looks like QuickTime Player 10 (on Mavericks) won¹t even open VR movies, but will hand them off to Player 7 if available. Doing a bit of searching, it seems some people have had success opening VR movies in VideoLan Player, but apparently without the interactivity (at least none occurs here). You¹d probably do well to stop using QTVR and look for an alternative. I don¹t know what types of VR movies you have, but there are some tools on this site that are able to output HTML5 panoramas and object movies (and possibly import QTVR): http://ggnome.com/ Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 3/24/15, 7:54 AM, stgoldb...@aol.com stgoldb...@aol.com wrote: Thanks for the suggestion Jacquie.

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.
