Re: Player Control and focus

[Paul Hibbert]

In a quick test on Mac, you can still trap the rawKeyDown in the player control 
and respond to the result so…

on rawKeyDown pKey

if pKey = "65363" then go next card

if pKey = "65361" then go prev card

pass rawKeyDown

end rawKeyDown


…Should work.

Player Control and focus

[Peter Bogdanoff]

I’m seeing:

LC 6: click on a player control to give it focus and the keyboard spacebar 
pauses and resumes the player.

LC 8.1.2 rc2: click on a player to give it focus and the keyboard spacebar 
pauses and resumes the player, the left arrow key moves the playhead backwards, 
and the right arrow key tries to move it forward.

Is there a property that turns this behavior off and on?

This behavior is a challenge when I want the spacebar to pause/resume, but the 
arrow keys to navigate cards.

These are all standard interface conventions, but the implementation in LC 8 
seems, well, undocumented.

Bundling an External into a Windows EXE?

[Paul Dupuis]

Does anyone have any tricks to bundle an external (revZip in my case)
into the EXE built by the Standalone maker?

Once really nice thing about the OSX app bundle (a special folder the OS
treats as a bundle) is that if a use drags an app somewhere, everything
that belongs to it moves with it. Certain resources, like icons, can be
bundled into the EXE, using various Windows resource editor tools, so
that has led me to wonder if there are any tricks to folding the dll of
an external into the exe in a way that the LiveCode engine can find it?

Re: Can the new player work with YouTube in 8.1.1?

[Roger Eller]

 For some reason, I never received the replies to my question, and it
wasn't in spam either.

Thank you Paul Hibbert, and Peter Bogdanoff for your suggestions!

It might be the codec that YouTube is using. See:

One way that does work with YouTube is to use a browser widget instead of the
player control, then set the URL to the “embed” link provided by YouTube, but
first, remove all of the iFrame tags and parameters, so in this case the URL
would be, https://www.youtube.com/embed/K033kBr3C6c

Thanks for your reply, Jan. I just found your reply in SPAM, lol.  Anyhow,
the team decided that black text is just fine.  :)

Hi Tiemo,

You can always revert to the 'emulated' look and feel by changing the theme
of the stack from "native" to "legacy".
There's no drop-down in the property inspector, so you'll have to use the
message box.

 Hello,
 
 I am migrating an old LC 2-6 stack to LC 8.1.1 In this stack  I resize and
arrange all objects by script when resizing the window.
 
 First experience was, that on Windows everything worked the  same as in LC
6,  all objects looked fine and aligned when resizing.
 
 On OS X 10.11 I am still fiddling around since some days to  get all
objects  aligned. The nasty thing is, that I now have lots of code,  which I
have to  differentiate between Win and Mac, where I had all the same  code
for  resizing up to now in LC 6.
 
 One of the tiny, nasty things is, that the rect of an option  button now
can  be different, as the visible rect of the button. Only at the  default
button  height of 22 both are congruent. I know, this is a new thing  of the
underlying OS X drawing routines. But since I can't test it,  I have no
idea,  what happens going back on a 10.8 system or to Sierra, are  there the
same  graphic objects, or do I have to differentiate for  10.8,10.9,..?
 
 What is more annoying is that the height of the stack isn't  anymore the
same  as the parameter newHeight of the resizeStack handler (what  it was
before on  OS X and still is on Windows). Again lots more of code
differentiation.
 
 Another weird issue is that the video appears 26 pixel lower  as the player
object is located (26 is the height of my stack menubar).
 Now I have to
 place the player object more to top by the height of the  menubar. Since I
couldn't create a recipie in a test stack for this strange  issue, I didn't
reported this as a bug. Again here I feel very unsafe if  this hard coded
workaround to place the player object more to top, as the  video has to
appear, works on all OS X platforms.
 
 Now I feel very uncomfortable with LC 8.1.1 shortly before  release.
 (Unfortunatly I discovered these resizing anomalies on OS X  pretty late in
my project) 
 
 Do you have any similar experiences? Any recommendations?
 
 Tiemo

I am following the livecode instructions for "Signing an application for

When I run this in terminal:

   codesign -s "Developer ID Application: My Company" 
/Path/To/My/Application.app

 I get back this error message: "resource fork, Finder information, or

I am trying to sign a LC app built in LC 8.0.0 dp16 running under OS Sierra

Thoughts?
