Re: Anyone using Livecode Server for sending PushNotifications?
Hi, Matthias. Here's an old message on the subject.. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user/175914/ the files mentioned in the post have been renamed to .lcx as LiveCode Server is now running on that machine.

Re: Usng an image to disable a group
Hi, Pete. Try setting the group's traversalOn property to false when you cover it with the image. Does that solve the problem? On 20/09/2014 17:20, Peter Haworth wrote: I have a stack with a series of groups on it. I need to control the order in which data is entered into the groups. The obvious/easy way is to enable/disable the groups as needed but I'm not happy with the way groups look when they are disabled. I vaguely remember a thread about using images to do this since clicks within the image don't make it through to the underlying controls. When I tried this, clicks on buttons that were under the image did not trigger any mouse events on them, as hoped, but field controls still get focus and I can type into them. It seems like this isn't going to work so looking for other ways to achieve this without having to go through every control in the group and adjusting their properties to disable them. Alternatively, is there a way to control how a group looks when it is disabled?

Re: Does LC Have A touchLoc() Function?
The last time I checked, a touchMove was always fired after a touchStart (so you can reliably pick up the initial position). TouchMove events can then track each individual touch id. I think mouseLoc always reported the position of the first touch. On 21/09/2014 21:09, Scott Rossi wrote: Does anyone know if LiveCode has touch-based function equivalent of mouseLoc? I'm thinking along the lines of touchLoc(id). I'm not seeing anything in dictionaries or release notes, but it's possible I'm missing it. Currently, there doesn't seem to be any way to poll the current active touches, which is something that has always been possible on desktop with the mouseLoc function. Using touchMove is not an option, because this only fires when there's movement of some kind. I'd like to open a feature request for a touchLoc(id) function that would return the loc of a touch id, and a touchLocs() function which would return all currently active touch ids and their locations. Unless this already exists, or there's some other way of getting this information and I'm just not seeing it.

Re: revDataFromQuery and DELETE FROM
Peter's correct - use revExecuteSQL since no records are returned On 17/08/2014 19:20, Peter Haworth wrote: Hi Dan, What is the text after revdberr? Strange that the row is being deleted but here's a couple of things that come to mind. You've probably already checked that tTableName and entryID contain valid information but one other thing to check is if the tablename includes any special characters or if entryID contains non-numeric data. In the first case, the table name would have to be enclosed in double quotes and in the second case, entryID would have to be enclosed in single quotes.

Re: Handlers for reading/writing image density info in PNG/JPEG?
Hi, Trevor. Check out http://splash21.com/downloads/sQuiRtGPL.zip There's a function in the library for creating PNG images and also the required functions for deflate compression and crc32 checksums - maybe those will help you getting started on the PNG side of things. :) On 12/06/2014 18:16, Trevor DeVore wrote: Hi everyone, Now that LiveCode has high-dpi support we can create images using export snapshot whose physical pixels dimensions are not the dimensions the image should be displayed at. For example, on an OS X retina computer with a screen pixel scale of 2 you could create an image that has 600x300 pixels of data but should be displayed at 300x150. Currently the engine does not provide a way to embed the pixel density information in the PNG/JPEG files that it can create. In addition, the engine cannot read pixel density information from images on the clipboard. This means we can't determine what dimensions the clipboard image should be displayed at. I'm wondering if anybody has already created handlers for reading and writing pixel density information to JPEG and PNG data that they would be willing to share? If not I'll take a look at the file formats and come up with something but if someone already did this that would be great.

Re: Learning about server
Don't be sad - the reason for posting the topics was for feedback :D The security topic would appear naturally when talking about logging in, etc. (but a dedicated topic would be possible). A few examples that work nicely with LC... SSL connections for encrypting all traffic to/from browser - (the easy option!) Javascript MD5 for sending encrypted data over non SSL connections. Using encrypt/decrypt to talk to your web app. from a standalone. Generating auth tokens from your standalone for non encrypted comms.

[ANN] MobGUI V1.26
MobGUI = 1.25 is now working with all versions of LC6/7 (community and commercial). The option to create an ipa file alongside the app when building for iOS has been added. This was in an old separate iOS plugin with some other useful functions, which should also make their way into MG shortly. The ability to automatically upload both iOS and android apps to the web for installation (already working in an old plugin) and signing of android apps is planned - I've just completed an android app recently, but the only way to get a valid signed apk seemed to be via the command line. If this gets fixed in LC's android package building, then this functionality may not be required.

Thanks to Dave Kilroy for sharing the work around and the generosity of Mark Stephens of Simulytics for donating the code back to the LiveCode community, a new function is available to fully justify LiveCode text fields. LiveCode version = 6.5 is required as it uses the measureText function which was introduced in 6.5. It doesn't work with the LC7 DP releases as the charIndex property seems to be missing - I assume it's down to the unicode changes that are underway.

Having taken all the posts into account and discussed it internally we are inclined to implement the following in LiveCode 7.0: 1) Add a 'trueWord' chunk type to provide access to the Unicode Standard's notion of word-breaking. 2) Add a 'sentence' chunk type to provide access to the Unicode Standard's notion of sentence-breaking. 3) Add a 'paragraph' chunk type to provide access to the Unicode Standard's notion of paragraph-breaking. 4) Add a synonym 'part' for the current 'word' chunk type. This will allow LiveCoders to update their scripts to use the newer syntax in anticipation of a future change to make the behaviour of the 'word' chunk match the new 'trueWord' behaviour. We would anticipate changing the meaning of 'word' with our 'Open Language' project. It requires us to create a highly accurate script translation system to allow old scripts to be rewritten in new revised and cleaner syntax. It is at this point we can seriously think about changing the meaning of existing tokens including word. Existing scripts will continue to run using the existing parser, and they can be converted (by the user) over time to use the 'newer' / 'more refined' syntax we are planning.

Re: [ANN] MobGUI V1.22 and SVG icon files
Hi, Ender - sorry for the confusion. Yes, V1.22 is available to download with the carousel control. The old plugin had an unlimited free trial to let you evaluate it - so you never had to buy a license unless it met your needs. Since the new plugin isn't password protected, it never had a free trial - until recently! The trial version is a chopped down version to try and give a feel of how the plugin works. I tagged the version number onto the trial just to reference which version it was created from - I'll add some text to the downloads to explain things better. If you want to test the carousel, it's already available from here; http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=9t=14747 It's the same carousel, so hopefully the demo stack will allow you to judge if it will work for your needs! --- You wrote --- But that carousel control is game changer :) It looks awesome.

Sound effects causing iOS apps to stutter
iOS sounds are an interesting case...
I've noticed in the past (experimenting with game apps) that playing
sound effects causes a very noticable stutter if you are animating
objects. There must be some kind of initialization being done when you
transition from having no sounds playing to a sound effect playing on a
channel - it seems to happen every time you play a sound. The animation
loop suffers and the nasty stutter becomes obvious.
Happily, there is a solution - which is to have a background track
playing. This seems to negate the need for whatever initialization was
required before : as long as the background track is playing on a
channel, any sound effects you play on other channels don't cause the
stutter. You can even play an empty background track - or something
set at volume 0. As long as the track isn't too short, things should be
OK - now and again there will be a short grey period where the
background track has to loop.

Why not?
It’ll be a nice add-on and definitely give a different depth feel.
Maybe you can update MobGüi with these features.
Giving an option for sound click
and another option for Rotating the images or Keeping them faced
towards user -as it is now-.
Won’t be easy, though; keeping the overall effect smooth will be
hardest part, I guess.
Even adding sounds slowed the carousel down and made it jumpy on the
iPod 4 {my weakest test device}.

Re: How to Reset ID's of Controls
Hi, Ender. The ID's will still increase as the app runs - same as in the development environment, but when the app is restarted, the original stack will be loaded and the ID's will start again from their original values. On 27/01/2014 13:18, Ender Nafi Elekcioglu wrote: Alan hi, About second part of your reply: no, I don’t use any stack as a datafile. For that purpose, I’m using a couple of simple text files and a big SQLite database. The app has a library substack which is static and don’t alter during runtime; the mainstack has 23 cards which have several hundreds of controls and the majority of those controls are created on the fly since the content is dynamic. It’s kind of a news app. About the first part of your reply: I’ve thought this, too, after sending that last post. This is a standalone and there is no way to alter a digitally signed app, right?

Re: Using sockets
Hi, Pete. If client A connects to server:10100 from 192.168.0.10:12345, then the server can send a response back to client A through 192.168.0.10:12345. Each client that connects to the server can be identified and communicated with in the same way : via the ip:port that they used to send the data. read from socket with messages doesn't block John.

I'm also interested in creating games with LiveCode and looking forward

massive difference having a physics engine taking care of collisions,
gravity, etc. I assume that box2d performance with LiveCode will be on
a par with other platforms using the same engine, so it will really open
up a lot of possibilities :D

All the clients can do is request a change of heading, target speed, fire, refuel, shield, etc. The server validates the requests, detects collisions, updates co-ordinates, etc. then sends the data to each client.

Re: revHookBuildScriptEditorContextMenu
I just double checked with community 6.0.2 and it works fine. Set up 2 frontscripts with something like the foloowing code. Stick a slightly different message in each one for identification of which is which. When right clicking in the editor, you'll see both customizations are there and they both work as expected. HTH John. on revHookBuildScriptEditorContextMenu pObject, pSelectedText, @pText, pModifiedText put Script Editor Customization LF - LF before pText pass revHookBuildScriptEditorContextMenu end revHookBuildScriptEditorContextMenu on revHookScriptEditorContextMenuPick pItem if pItem = Script Editor Customization then answer Run your custom code! exit to top end if pass revHookScriptEditorContextMenuPick end revHookScriptEditorContextMenuPick On 28/06/2013 22:48, Peter Haworth wrote: Hi John, I was hoping that would work too, but it doesn't seem to in my testing.

NavBar glitch fixed, iOS native scroller added.

When you are happy with the placement, you can lock the group, delete the dummy contents and add the real contents for the scroller. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7960211/MGLIB-iOS-GPL-2013-04-25.zip ___ 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

[ANN] Open source MobGUI iOS controls - first draft
A while ago I started rewriting some controls to use the new before and after behavior handlers. The results are custom controls with no library code in their scripts - I think it's a lot cleaner. The link below is to the first draft. The library is a one button palette. Just use the button to attach a copy of the library to your stack. After that you can close the original palette as it's not needed any more. The palette now attached to the stack is the one that you use to drag custom controls from. Any time you open your stack in the future, you still just use the attached palette. I've added a few iOS controls to this palette - if feedback is good and everything works as expected, the other controls can be added. My tests showed the controls to scale for normal/retina with no problems. Thanks to Dixie who also gave it a test on 5.5.3 and community. There is a slight glitch on the NavBar - after initially dragged on to your stack, you can double click to snap it to the top of the stack, but it's height is slightly too small - dragging a resize handle solves the problem for now. Each control has an 'mg' custom property set. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7960211/MGLIB-iOS.zip ___ 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

My script creates several groups, let's call them grp1, grp2,grp3, and after creating them, uses a group command to group all those groups into one outer group. After the group command, I set the name of the last group to grpA. The group that gets renamed is not the outer group but grp3. The group command, unlike just about any other command that creates an object does not return an ID in it so I have to use the last group construct, as recommended in the dictionary actually. I guess I will have to search through the groups and find the one with the highest ID to identify the outer group but before I do that, any ideas about how else to do this?

Re: What's the best way to store data that one iOS app sends to another?
I don't rely on SSL - to avoid any potential hassles with Apple's app store - Does your application use encryption?. The scheme I did use will work happily with SSL, if the data is sensitive, and without, for routine app data, game data, etc. As an example, my requests to the server contain; 1/ a uuid 2/ current time 3/ md5 hash of user credentials + uuid + time 4/ any other data The client first synchronizes it's time with the server. Each request is only valid for 30 seconds (the server checks the time built into the request). The server also temporarily stores the uuid, so it can only be used once (auto deleted after 60 seconds - by which time the request is no longer valid). The important user credentials are never sent as plain text and each request is only valid once - anyone snooping can't send the same request as the uuid will be rejected. The reason for sending the uuid and time (which are also built into the md5 hash) is so that the server can rebuild the same hash from the user credentials in the database and verify a 'login'.

Re: What's the best way to store data that one iOS app sends to another?
In my case, the user credentials are an app id and a password. They are set up manually, beforehand, to allow any number of app instances running on users' devices to connect and share data. If you want to create actual user accounts through your app and don't want to send plain text then you're going to have to use encryption.

(Also posted on the forums) sQuiRt is a LiveCode library for creating QR codes (2d bar codes). I've posted an open source, GPL version to complement the imminent release of open source LC. Hopefully you'll find the source interesting - there's code for PNG image creation, crc32 checksums and deflate compression as well as the QR code itself. I'm no mathematician and don't have previous QR experience, so there will no doubt be numerous ways to tweak the code, etc - have fun!!

Re: Proportionally Scale A Field?
Check out http://mobgui.com/morph.php In particular, the coments in the morph.rescale handler of the MorphLib stack. I was surprised to find that ignoring the margins for field objects worked for the tests I was doing. I'm not sure if it will work for your particular set up, but worth a go. :) On 24/02/2013 08:32, Scott Rossi wrote: Hi All: Has anyone been able to figure out how to proportionally scale a basic field in LiveCode? I'm not talking about the text size (obvious), but rather the margin offsets. Specifically, the top margin is the problem. Contrary to what you would expect, doubling or tripling the top margin when doubling or tripling the size of the field doesn't result in proportional results: the top margin value increases correctly, but the actual number of pixels the text is offset is incorrect. I've spent days trying to figure out some rhyme or reason behind the numbers, and even broke down and tried to chart the results with the hope of finding a pattern/formula, but I can't figure out anything. Things get even more convoluted when changing the field's textSize or textHeight. I've bug reported this and asked RunRev for assistance but they have not been able to help. How do folks scale fields for different resolutions on mobile? What's the formula?

Re: Put URL and garbage in result from PHP

Hi,
I'm downloading a list of words of 9 characters from a MySQL database using a

approximately 1 lines in my list, with one word on each line.
Both the PHP script and the LiveCode script run on Mac OS X. I use a put URL
command in my LiveCode script, such as
put url http://localhost/~user/list.php;
The relevant part of the PHP script is:
$q=SELECT xword FROM ydatabase;
$r=mysql_query($q);
if (!$r) {
echo 'An error occurred: '.mysql_error();
}
else {
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($r)) {

Exactly every 8001 bytes (or 889 words, which are all different), I get some
garbage:
1f41
A
B

C
1f41
P
Q

R
etc etc etc
X

The garbage is often the same but not always and it appears before the first
line and after the last line. I have tried several combinations of the
content-type and content-transfer-encoding headers in PHP. I have also tried
changing the encoding of the PHP script itself.
If I call the same URL from CURL and pipe the output to a text file or if I
open the URL in a browser, I don't see any garbage:
A

Does anyone have an idea what causes LiveCode to add garbage to my list?

Re: Finally found one.
Hi, Craig. There's no message build up : every time you send a 'showRandoms tSecs', you schedule another 'showRandoms tSecs' if your time check is true, so there's one pending. Pressing the stop button just makes another call to the handler, it doesn't cancel the scheduled message - it's still there and will still fire. When you send 'showRandoms 0', the existing scheduled message is still 'showRandoms x' - it still has it's random number as the tSecs parameter. On 03/10/2012 02:15, dunb...@aol.com wrote: John. Just read your post. I came to the same conclusion. See the last entry in the thread in the forums.

Re: Logging Device Tokens
Hi, Dan. The following info will hopefully help, or at least give you some ideas. I wrote a 'draw something' style app at the beginning of the year and although it's never been released, it's delivered thousands of push notifications on the test service. The scripts run on an on-rev server. The links below are on another server that doesn't parse .lc scripts, so they should show up fine in your browser. Script that runs on LiveCode server and is successfully delivering push notifications in a test app; http://splash21.com/info/notify.lc I'm also using Mark Smith's libJson 1.0.1b (you'll see it referenced in the above); http://splash21.com/info/json.lc I've used this script since LC server's been around for MySQL - basic, but it does what I need it to do ;) http://splash21.com/info/mysql.lc Here's the MySQL structure of the table I use to record device info; http://splash21.com/info/devices.sql On 06/08/2012 22:29, Dan Friedman wrote: Mike, THANK YOU for the information. I am wondering what you use to log the Tokens? Do you have the app fire a PHP script on your server that writes it down? What are you using to store the data? Flat files, like XML? Or a database? Thanks for the advise! -Dan Nope, you aren't crazy. There is a reason you have to do this - because you have to know who wants to receive push and who does not - and since different users may have different settings, you need to be able to customize those messages. Think about a weather app that uses push - the users are from all over. You need to be able to push custom alerts/forecasts/etc. It is a lot easier than you might think, and thousands/millions of records are just numbers. Yes, you need to have a server somewhere that you can talk to from your app to send the custom settings. You also need to check with APNS to make sure that user x is still on the push list, since they can manually disable push in the Notifications preferences, which you are then expected to respect (read the notes from Apple on this). It works great, and I just want to thank RR for implementing push/local notifications, and for John Craig for putting up the example that made coding it easier when I was still trying to make it work. ___ 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

Submitted apps have a publish date that you can set when you submit (and I believe you can change this on the fly as well) you could simply prevent the app from being published in the App store but still be able to give promotional codes for it. - Would that be workable for your app? What version of LC are you using? I've not managed to get in-app purchasing working yet - I've tried with 5.5, but always get an error Cannot connect to iTunes Store John.

Seems to me the only way around this is to submit to Apple 3 separate versions of my app: - Free version, containing in-app purchase options to upgrade - Standard version, containing an in-app purchase option to upgrade to the Premium version - Premium version With this approach, I can give reviewers promo codes for the Premium version. Is this the best way to go? Thanks.

Did you do these two things (from an earlier email I posted): I made sure the iphone on which I am doing the testing has been logged out (in Settings--Store) I logged out of iTunesConnect.
