The rest of the processes for initialization are lightning fast so primarily the gif is for the wait on the connection to the db. GIF animations will not animate while the engine is involved in a long process. If it is taking a while to connect to the database then the engine is in a revOpenDatabase call which would stop the GIF animation. I don't know that the GIF animation issue is something that can be addressed right now but you could submit a request to have revOpenDatabase be non-blocking. hostnametoaddress was recently update in 4.5 so a to be non-blocking if [callback] was provided: hostnameToAddress(hostname, [ callback ]) This is significant because now our applications don't have to lock up if there is a problem connecting to the internet.

Re: s it possible to access or set individual pixels of an image?
On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 6:50 PM, Marty Billingsley ma...@ucls.uchicago.eduwrote: Is it possible to read and set the color of individual pixels in an image? ImageData is a little incomprehensible. Basically, I'd like to be able to do something like: for each pixel in image x, set the color of that pixel to some calculated value (or a value pulled from a pixel of another image) Thanks for any pointers you can give me! Unfortunately there is no shortcut for looping over each pixel. It would be great to be able to do this: repeat with i = 1 to the number of pixels of theImageData put pixel i of theImageData into thePixelA put 20 into thePixelA[red] put 0 into thePixelA[green] put 255 into thePixelA[blue] set pixel i of theImageData to thePixelA end repeat But we can't :-) You will need to work with the imageData. It isn't too bad once you get your head around it. Here is one way you could loop through the imageData of an image, accessing individual pixels. This may not be the most efficient way but hopefully it illustrates how to access each pixel clearly enough so that the format of the imageData makes sense. put the imageData of img 1 into theImageBytes repeat with i = 1 to the number of bytes of theImageBytes put byte i of theImageBytes into theAlphaValue -- always 0 put byte (i+1) of theImageBytes into theRedValue put byte (i+2) of theImageBytes into theGreenValue put byte (i+3) of theImageBytes into theBlueValue ## Convert bytes to numbers that you can manipulate put charToNum(theRedValue) into theRedValue put charToNum(theGreenValue) into theGreenValue put charToNum(theBlueValue) into theBlueValue ## manipulate values as needed ... ## Convert back into binary data put numToChar(theRedValue) into theRedValue put numToChar(theGreenValue) into theGreenValue put numToChar(theBlueValue) into theBlueValue ## Store modified pixel in theImageBytes put theRedValue into byte (i+1) of theImageBytes put theGreenValue into byte (i+2) of theImageBytes put theBlueValue into byte (i+3) of theImageBytes ## You might be tempted to use step 4 in the repeat loop up above. ## The problem with this is that the engine will execute one last time when ## the counter steps to (the number of bytes + 1). This is no good as there ## will be no pixel starting at (the number of bytes + 1). ## Instead, we rely on the repeat loop incrementing i by 1 and we add on an ## additional 3 for the equivalent of step 4 add 3 to i end repeat set the imageData of img 1 to theImageBytes Hopefully this helps. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems ScreenSteps: http://www.screensteps.com Releasable Revolution Resources for Developers: http://revolution.bluemangolearning.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Bringing up the data for a different SQLite row used to be instantaneous, now takes 10 seconds or so. This is consistant across all the cards that handle data fro any table in my SQLite database. The 4.0 standalone still works just fine using the same database. I recall someone else having an issue with this and reporting it to RQCC but I can't find the report now. I think the problem was that a field being search on in the database was not indexed. For some reason there was a slow down using the newer SQLite driver included with 4.5.

Now I wonder: Can I lock messages before going to said card and avoid the lagging and still being able to populate may data? Malte, zryip is correct in that the Data Grid will be initialized later on if preopenControl is never received. If you want to see exactly what is going on check out the private command _Initialize in the script of btn Data Grid of stack revdatagridlibrary. Given that persistent data is set to false and you don't have any data in the grids then I think the most time intensive operation would be when the table columns are created in the call to _table.CreateColumns. You could experiment with commenting out some of the code in _Initialize to determine where the bottle neck is. If you can locate it then perhaps we can determine how to address the speed issue. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems ScreenSteps: http://www.screensteps.com Releasable Revolution Resources for Developers: http://revolution.bluemangolearning.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I am unable to create custom column behaviors for any columns using the recommended method. I click the plus sign for the column, the card with the row template is displayed, I select the row template group but the Edit Group button in the toolbar or on the Object menu is greyed out and doesn't function. If I select the card containing the template for the datagrid, then select the Row Template group, the Edit Group command is available to me. Hi Peter, Are you sure you are selecting the row template group? By chance do you have Select Grouped active in the toolbar? If it is then you are selecting one of the controls in the group and not the group itself. I have a default column behavior script which I use for all my datagrids. Those created under 4.0 correctly execute the various handlers in that script but any created under 4.5 never execute any of the handlers in that script (the default column behavior is set to the correct button). Hard to say without knowing more details. What troubleshooting steps have you taken thus far? I see two new handlers in the default column behavior supplied with LiveCode - PreFillinData and ResetData. What are some uses for these handlers? These two messages are for advanced use cases where you need to know that data is being unloaded from a row/column. For example, let's say you dynamically create player objects in rows of a data grid when the user clicks a play button to sample a song. If the user then scrolls that row out of view you might want to do something with the player object you created dynamically. PreFillinData would allow you to do that. I also saw a recent post to this list regarding some new built in drag and drop reordering handlers in the default script - they don't appear in my default script. There is no code that goes in the default script. I haven't documented the drag/drop routines officially but I have posted examples of using it to the list. I have yet to go through the routines and ensure that I'm completely happy with the API so they remain undocumented until I do so. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems ScreenSteps: http://www.screensteps.com Releasable Revolution Resources for Developers: http://revolution.bluemangolearning.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

If I were to go back and rewrite the internal column naming scheme I would probably add a prefix to the internal column controls (e.g. dgcol1 for a column the developer named 1). I think this would get around the issue. For now stay away from numeric column names. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems ScreenSteps: http://www.screensteps.com Releasable Revolution Resources for Developers: http://revolution.bluemangolearning.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Like how do you take an array from sqlquery_X and use it with sqlrecord_ You don't :-) sqlquery_ calls directly convert results from a query to an array in Rev. All columns returned are stored in the second dimensions of the array. sqlrecord_ calls store meta information about the table the data comes from, etc. Query results will also be converted to nested arrays depending on the relationships of the tables in the query. You can also use callbacks and custom table properties with SQL Records. SQL Record objects carry more overhead. If you ever want to look inside the arrays just use printKeys(), a helper function included with SQL Yoga. put printkeys(theRecordA) Finally in the example below: put sqlrecord_createObject(projects) into theRecordA ## Fill in primary key field for 'projects' sqlrecord_set theRecordA, id, theProjectID ## Delete record sqlrecord_delete theRecordA put the result into theError does - sqlrecord_set theRecordA, id, theProjectID really set the primary key - it is not in the API documentation, or is it something specific to the record object? sqlrecord_set is in the API docs: http://www.bluemangolearning.com/revolution/docs/sql_yoga/api_docs/Documents/stack_libSQLYoga_command_sqlrecord_set.htm It just fills in the value for the id property in the SQL Record object (theRecordA). It is similar to a line of revTalk that sets the property of a button object (just not as pretty): set the hilite of button MyButton to true Although theRecordA is just an array in Rev, you use sqlrecord_get/set because meta information is stored in the array as well. That meta information is updated whenever you set a property (like 'id'). -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems ScreenSteps: http://www.screensteps.com Releasable Revolution Resources for Developers: http://revolution.bluemangolearning.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

If you just update your stacks when you automatically install an update then your version numbers will always be out of sync. For this reason I always update both stacks and executables now. You will notice that the build button is included with the IDE plugin rather than the application packager.

Is there some way to get both colors AND row separator lines? I noticed that the alternating row colors kind of does this for you but it's not quite the visual effect I was after.
