Price Rising and a hard decision
Well, I’ve thought long and hard about this decision and have put it off time and again struggling to hang on for the last few years while watching my commercial licenses run out. With the push towards doubling the price of LiveCode by the end of the year I can no longer afford to keep up with these ‘improvements' that I thought would be so awesome way back before the start of the original Kickstart campaign. I’m done. I’ve got no more to give. It’s been a great fun ride this past decade or so and the people! WOW the people I’ve met along the way are just awesome and have been the heart and soul of this experience for me. I wish I could hang on and see the promise of a truly great product come true but it’s just too expensive for me. Time to rethink what role the Community version can play, if any, in my plans.

Re: Open Source Kickstarter Report Card
I haven’t posted in a long long time and I have a question. I just reread the entire Kickstarter Campaign promises and they state very clearly that IOS deployment is included in the open source edition It will run on every popular platform and device.” and “...running on six platforms - Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and Server” but on the new livecode pricing page it states that “Note: IOS deployment is not included in the open source edition”. I am really confused by this and was wondering which is true. I have always paid for and had the biggest commercial version available and will probably buy into the Indie version once they are up, but I convinced a lot of people to contribute to the Campaign and am wondering if I owe them all apologies.

Re: RELEASE LiveCode 6.6.2 RC4
Hello all, I have been away for a little while and am just getting back into LC again. Andre coming back and finishing the fbAuth library sparked my creative juices again. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone noticed arrowkey or keyDown not working correctly in this build. I downloaded this tetris stack http://livecodegamedeveloper.com/blog/2014-02-10/livecode-tetris.lc from a previous thread and noticed that it was not working on my Mac OSX machine. So I put in a couple of answer commands but no luck. I then put in a rawKeyDown and got it to work using the arrow keys that way. on arrowKey pKey put pKey into sKeyPress -- answer sKeyPress pass arrowKey end arrowKey on keyDown pKey if pKey = space then put space into sKeyPress -- answer sKeyPress pass keyDown end keyDown on rawKeyDown pKey if pKey is 65361 then put left into sKeyPress if pKey is 65363 then put right into sKeyPress if pKey is 65362 then put up into sKeyPress if pKey is 65364 then put space into sKeyPress --answer pKey end rawKeyDown Thanks Tom -- Tom McGrath III http://lazyriver.on-rev.com mcgra...@mac.com O ___ 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: Hacking the GUI
Jim, No, I was referring to rotate around a 2d point on a flat plane not 3D.

Vaughn. Also, you should just use a rectangle for the browser 'rect' instead of a group, you have: iphoneControlSet browserID, rect, the rect of group browser Instead of using a group browser -- delete that group and instead put a rectangle on the card named browser and then replace the line above with this in your script as well as adding the on closeCard handler from my other email: iphoneControlSet browserID, rect, the rect of control browser Do both of these and that should solve your problems.

My understanding is that the main stack objects needed to have the acts like a background in order to create new cards in the main stack. Likewise the new card where I added the browser group where the map was to appear did not need to be treated as a background because it was called by a script. I turned off all of the group objects in the main stack with acts like a background and retested the sim. The map group object stilled appeared in the main stack group objects even after adding the closeCard close handler. The map also appeared in the calling screen object area in the main stack on top of the controls in the hide show item. Actually it was still in all of the main card hide show objects.

I tired everything I could think of to close the iPhone control when leaving the card with the group. Nothing seems to work. I tried iPhoneControlDelete and it had no effect. I read the tutorials and tried anything that looked like it might work. Has anyone had this issue?

dispatch usage versus send
I am trying to figure out the 'correct' use of dispatch: I first set up a lot of details in an iOS app on launch. I load some text files and populate some custom props for use throughout the app. After that I want to load the appropriate fields and other aspects of the app from those custom props BUT only if everything else loaded. I won't know what the data is so I can't check that, I can only tell wether or not something was loaded. I was trying to determine if I should use send or dispatch. I am using this code now: on openstack loadCustomPropsFromFile dispatch loadAllUsers to card Users of this stack if it is handled then dispatch loadCurrentUser to card Users of this stack if it is handled then dispatch loadCurrentUserForm to card Users of this stack end if end if end openstack But I could use: send loadAllUsers to card Users of this stack send loadCurrentUser to card Users of this stack send loadCurrentUserForm to card Users of this stack My question is Is the right usage of dispatch? Is there another 'better' way to accomplish this?

Re: How to manage file name containing a date with /
André I don't know how to make windows recognize the / but you are in luck that the Mac can see them.

Re: How to manage file name containing a date with /
Andre, You are not answering the proper questions to come up with a solution for this. Questions: 1. Where are the files located when using the Mac version of your app? (same computer? different computer?) 2. Where are the filed located when using the Windows version of your app? (same computer? different computer?) 3. Are they on a server? 4. Are they included with the app when passed on to a Windows machine? 5. What happens when you -- answer file Choose a file: -- do they show up? 6. If so what happens when you -- put url (file: it) into tFile -- does tFile hold the correct full path or does it just say 2013.pdf ? 7. Please post the code that you are trying to use so that we can see it and help you. Suggestions: 1. Stop the process of naming files with a / -- instruct the client how to change this in the scanner software. 2. If the files exist on the Mac then why not run a batch on them and rename them all with a correctly formatted name -- then ship those to the Windows users. Do this with LC. 3. If there are many files 'and' many Mac and Windows users are to access them then suggest a server -- that way all of the clients can use the same code to access them. 4. If the answer file shows them then use 'it' to choose them. 5. If put URL (file: it) shows the correct file path then use 'it' to choose them. 6. If not THEN you need to deal with the file name issue as suggested previously. I know we can solve this one if we know enough about the workflow.

The user receives paper documents. He digitizes the paper documents and saves them as PDF; if he receives the document by email he saves them as PDF. Anyway he saves this PDF files on his disk in a unique folder (say DOCS BASE) giving a name to each document an informative name. In a lot of these names he is including a date with slash as separator. such as Joe PATIENT - bio checkup - 09/2013.pdf I just discovered last week that he should have choose another separator. As I am developing on Mac and he is using a Mac we had no problem.The problem arises because he needs to pass the app to colleagues the majority of which are working on Windows.

What I would like to do is delete group Index3 and then rename the the rest so that they are in order again. I was planning on using a repeat loop on the number of groups: repeat with x = 1 to the number of groups of group MainGroup set the name of group x of group MainGroup to (Index x) end repeat Then when I want to add a group I can just clone the first group and rename it. I would like to name it 1 + the number of groups like: clone group Index1 of group MainGroup set the name of it to (Index (the number of groups of group MainGroup + 1)) The problem is that because some of the groups have groups in them I am not getting the right number back from using the number of.

I have tried twice now to change my password in cPanel for my on-rev account and have been unsuccessful both times. The first time it locked me out and I had to get support to reset it for me. This time it just didn't do anything and my old password still worked. Has anyone else had trouble setting a new password on on-rev???

The printPaperSize won't change unless the user changes the paper feed setting in the print setup (or a script changes it) -- it's the physical size of the paper. If they change from letterhead to envelope, the printPaperSize will change, otherwise it won't. Every printer has a hard, physical limitation on how far from the edges it will print. If you get a half-inch unprintable margin at 100% scale, it will still be the same at any other scale. The print head won't travel any closer to the edge than half an inch. The printRectangle represents the largest available printing area for the paper that's currently loaded, and takes the unprintable area into account. The scale of the printout doesn't change that available area, though it will be filled with more or fewer pixels depending on the print scale. I'm not sure if you're trying to print outside the available print region (you can't), or if you're trying to scale your card to fit it. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.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
imageData and resizing

As soon as I try to set the imageData of a group of images about half way through the images start to screw up. set the resizeQuality of image x of group images to best set the lockLoc of image x of group images to true set the width of image x of group images to (the width of image x of group images * 2) set the height of image x of group images to (the height of image x of group images * 2) set the imageData of image x to tempimage Any ideas or workarounds???

Re: First App rejected for odd reasons
Mark, At first I wanted to object to the need for JPEG only for large images as all of the research that I have done (especially concerning transparency issues) has told me to never use JPEG (except for the web) in most of my apps but then I realized that I have not tested those same results for iOS and Android engines, so I will need to do those tests again to verify/reject my findings. That said, using 2048 png's with transparency layers on fourteen cards with special visual effects and playing song files on one channel and a voice over on another channel did not slow down either the logic code or the effects code. I created a Ken Burns effect in LC and it runs as smoothly with the larger images as it does with smaller variations. So I'm not sure what would constitute a stack being 'much larger' than it needs to be - in my first case it was the main stack that was large and now it is the images folder that is large - either way the download is going to be the same size and be too big for cellular download (which is why I believe Apple has that warning in the first place.) I would not think that 14 retina sized images on 14 different cards is too large for a mobile app and that instead they must be referenced and that that would be a requirement. Normally I think if it was like 50 images it should be referenced but not just 14. Most LC projects I have seen all use lower quality images or regular 1024 images enlarged for retina via code, but they are definitely not retina images. All of that said, I think what you stated is spot on and should be included in a best practices type document somewhere for mobile development. Maybe with some recommendations for audio and compression comparisons.

Yes, this is correct and a good idea - the iPhone 3G was the last device to have an ARMv6 processor and that can only run iOS 4.3 or earlier - that's why Apple has dropped support for armv6 builds from the more recent Xcode versions. I expect (really hope) that LiveCode only duplicates the engine code within the Universal binary and puts the main stack in a data section that is shared by both code variants - if that's the case, this might only save you a few megabytes of engine code, but you should do it anyway - iOS5+ with armv6 is pure waste. I'd not seen the main executable size issue before and a quick Google suggests both this and the not yet mandatory PIE warning are new. This is either a subtle crackdown on low quality apps produced by tools other than XCode or there are some new products or tools on the way which will care about this in the future. I'll bring it up on the engine forum. As I understand it, only the main stack is actually bundled inside the executable in a standalone, so a simple fix would be to create a launcher stack as your main stack which simply loads the previous main stack which you can include in the bundle separately. However, creating apps much, much larger than they need to be is not friendly to your users. Large images should be JPEG compressed - if they contain text that loses quality due to JPEG compression then split the images up (or if it's all text, store it as text not an image!). Audio should also be in a suitable compressed format (i.e. not WAV). In this case it sounds like LiveCode 6's application browser might be handy for finding out what's actually inside the stack easily, then removing all the media and referencing it externally. Otherwise it might be easier to rebuild the stack by copying the scripts across into a new one that only references external media from the start?

In the standalone settings, are you building a universal binary? I may be wrong about this (can anyone verify?), but if you're building for iOS 5 or later, you should be perfectly safe selecting armv7 only and building for that, since any devices capable of running iOS 5 and above are armv7 devices only. This may also reduce the size of your executable. ___ 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 ___

That said, using 2048 png's with transparency layers on fourteen cards with special visual effects and playing song files on one channel and a voice over on another channel did not slow down either the logic code or the effects code. I created a Ken Burns effect in LC and it runs as smoothly with the larger images as it does with smaller variations. So I'm not sure what would constitute a stack being 'much larger' than it needs to be - in my first case it was the main stack that was large and now it is the images folder that is large - either way the download is going to be the same size and be too big for cellular download (which is why I believe Apple has that warning in the first place.) I would not think that 14 retina sized images on 14 different cards is too large for a mobile app and that instead they must be referenced and that that would be a requirement. Normally I think if it was like 50 images it should be referenced but not just 14. Most LC projects I have seen all use lower quality images or regular 1024 images enlarged for retina via code, but they are definitely not retina images. All of that said, I think what you stated is spot on and should be included in a best practices type document somewhere for mobile development. Maybe with some recommendations for audio and compression comparisons.

You just need to create a regular LiveCode array (none of that

had to change those but it might depend on the server.
Something like this off the top of my head:
put Tom_iPad into tArray[data][appuser_details][name]
put i...@gmail.com into tArray[data][appuser_details][email]
...etc
put jsonFromArray(tArray) into tJSON
post tJSON to http://xxx.xxx;
You might have to twiddle that a bit.
Ah... how is that library working out if something is a number or a
string? If it's doing it's just using is a number then given you have
numbers that you need to send as strings you're going to have a problem.
You might need to look at the api and find out if it has a way to force
elements to be a string. Alternatively... seeing as it's really not a big
document and you don't need to do JSONToArray you could just put a template
in a custom property and use merge...

I happen to have the Galactic Gauntlet project files (from the Academy DVD). When I compile and load it on my iPhone and iPad (both iOS 6.1.3) it runs very herky-jerky (especially as the rocket ship descends) and usually crashes within a few moments. So does the commercial version as uploaded to iTunes. I showed this to David Williams at the conference in Edinburgh - and have not yet heard back. When I raised these questions he seemed unaware of these issues. Judging from his furrowed brow (he was having a very long week) it seemed to me there might be some effort in his resurrecting his old code and getting to the bottom of this. Here's what troubles me (rant ahead): This was an absolutely wonderful course, and is spectacular demo code - less so if it does not run. Actually - it's very poor as a demo if it can't run smoothly and well. The lousy reviews are stacking up on iTunes. Not good for the LiveCode Brand. So - hasn't this community dug into this code? It's the largest, best demo of the language in action that I know of - especially for teaching. There's no discussion on the boards - have I missed something? It seems to crash for no good reason. It is not a great thing if straight LiveCode processes cause a crash under iOS (nothing fancy going on here). Have people moved away from iPad development in preference to Android (and so no critical mass of users has noticed)? Has anyone got this running under Android smoothly? I just feel this is a critical element of the public relations / school integration / new user outreach stuff that's got to shine now more than ever. Just sayin.

Re: AnimationEngine pending messages
Malte, All I can say is that when I was working on this project it seemed to be a natural thing to look for. Every time I would go to a new card the same scripts would run and animate image 1 but If I went to the next card before the current card animation was done it would then build up on top of the new cards animation of image 1. So when I specifically targeted the name of image 1 (which was different on each card) then it no longer built up. In this case it would have been a no brainer that when I wanted to skip quickly through the cards that I could clear the messages from the previous cards animation sequence.

Re: AnimationEngine pending messages
Actually, I did see the note in the dictionary and tried that. But I think since I was using AE to generate effects using image 1 that each card was somehow newly stacking commands for image 1 of each card. When I changed it to the name of image 1 then they no longer stacked for each card. Weird. So in the end I avoided having to cancel the pending messages.

Re: [Topic][Dumbfounded] Is there a way to resize and move a group without touching the inside objects
Geoff, What you state here about the rounding is exactly what I have been seeing and your suggestion that one should always start from the stored original sizes and attributes when cumulative resizes or back to back resizes are needed is the only solution so far that I believe will work for this. I will be testing your script tomorrow. tom -- Tom McGrath III http://lazyriver.on-rev.com mcgra...@mac.com On May 10, 2013, at 4:23 PM, Geoff Canyon gcan...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Scott, I tried to simplify this and make it so that each control is adjusted in one step. This also optionally take different scaling factors for horizontal and vertical. Let me know if I missed anything. I'm not sure what everyone was seeing with resizing the group affecting the objects in it -- I'm not seeing that as far as I can tell. All the implementations shown so far are losing fidelity due to rounding. If anyone is going to repeatedly resize groups/objects like this, it would make sense to store the original rects as a separate property, and always start from there. If the resizing needs to be cumulative, then I'd store the cumulative resizing factor as a property of the group, then when resizing multiply that by the new/additional factor before applying that to the stored rects to set the sizes. Once we have open language, I'm so looking forward to being able to say something like: set the rect of every control of G to integerRect(shiftRect(scaleRect(shiftRect((the rect of it),-L,-T),H,V),L,T)) gc command scaleGroup G,H,V if V is empty then put H into V put the left of G into L put the top of G into T put shiftRect(scaleRect(shiftRect((the rect of G),-L,-T),H,V),L,T) into R repeat with N = 1 to number of controls of G set the rect of control N of G to integerRect(shiftRect(scaleRect(shiftRect((the rect of control N of G),-L,-T),H,V),L,T)) end repeat set the margins of G to scaleRect((the margins of G),H,V) set the rect of G to R end scaleGroup function scaleRect R,H,V if V is empty then put H into V return (H * item 1 of R),(V * item 2 of R),(H * item 3 of R),(V * item 4 of R) end scaleRect function shiftRect R,H,V if V is empty then put H into V return (H + item 1 of R),(V + item 2 of R),(H + item 3 of R),(V + item 4 of R) end shiftRect function integerRect R return round(item 1 of R),round(item 2 of R),round(item 3 of R),round(item 4 of R) end integerRect On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 7:00 AM, Thomas McGrath III mcgra...@mac.comwrote: Monte, I won't be attending this year but I will be on the simulcast so I'll sort of be there in spirit at the conference…..
