Re: Widget TurnImage89_v100
Bill, the installer button should work, did you use an earlier stack? The widget is not downloaded by the installer button but is a custom property of the downloaded stack: ** You have to download the sample stack for each new version. ** Sorry, as soon as the "widgets store" works I'll use that.

Hermann: I’m trying to install your turnImage sample stack. When I click on the “Install the turnImage widget for LC 8+9” button, I get an error message: “extension missing from “…/community.livecode.hermann.turnimage.1.0.0” So, I can’t install the widget. I’m on MacOS, 10.14.2, LC 9.0.2. I downloaded the sample stack, nothing else. Is there something else to download? Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Widget TurnImage89_v100
The widget has a huge background or transparency, needed for the turns and rotation. So I added a "clickedInTransparency" message that you can use, see tab "Custom" of the property inspector for an example script.

Re: Widget TurnImage89_v100
I tested now more intensive the widget with LC 9.0.2 on Win 7-10 and linux (Xubuntu 1604). It works as it should but I changed the (only partially working) sample stack: I had to rewrite the video grabbing loop so that the browser widget has no problems on windows and linux. Especially on Xubuntu1604 it works here now also OK with the video. (New feature) Additionally I also changed the video loop such that you can turn also around diagonal axes, change turnH or turnV while the image is rotating for that. There is a new button "Reset" for returning to the ordinary rotation axes. Note. The widget is not changed, only the sample stack. So if you already have installed the widget just download the new sample stack (which of course has still the installer button) and you are ready to try.

Fantastic Herman! Thanks for the contributions. Now, if I could only figure out how to use a series of images instead of just two? I am digging through the scripts to see what I can find. But it is good to know that LCB can do "smooth" transitions/animation (well, the video was a bit jerky but the circles are smooth).

Widget TurnImage89_v100
TurnImage is a pure LiveCode Builder widget, there is no essential script access and no use of JavaScript. The widgets lets you = turn an image horizontally or vertically with a 2D-perspective view, = switch from an image to a second image while turning or rotating. Thus it is essentially an animation tool for displaying LC objects. For example two groups of same size that make up the front and back of a turning "card". Just try the demo in the sample stack. The widget is fast enough to "turn" a video by grabbing frames from it. For this we need to use a browser widget to play the video (just play, nothing else) because the LC player object is essentially blocking. TurnImage is a "fat" widget that works with LC 8 and LC 9 identically and also in all LC editions, from community up to business. This sample stack includes buttons to install (or remove) the widget to/from both LC 8 and 9. And it containes several examples for scripting the widget's properties. Download it from "Sample Stacks" or http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/929/ The widget is free for non-commercial use. For commercial use please give a (small) fee to the LC developer help fund.
