Uploading to Dropbox

2011-10-18 Thread Terry Vogelaar
How can I upload a file from my LiveCode iOS app to my Dropbox folder? Dropbox accepts files sent via an HTTP POST submission. So the question could also be: How can I send a file via an HTTP POST submission? It is a very small plain .txt file (sub 100kB); no package or other weirdness.

Guys, I think Mint is moving to Gnome3... http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Linux-Mint-developers-make-GNOME-3-edition-plans-1362441.html It will retain 2.32 as well but I think many distros will start to converge to Gnome3. PS: LiveCode runs well on mint?

What's the best audio format to use for mobile apps? Is it best to stick with mp3, or is something else better? It must be compressed and must be compatible with both Android and iOS. The audio will consist of spoken word and possibly some sound effects here and there. Thanks, Chris -- Chris

I'm working on a stack that is nearly as tall as my screen. Every time I open the stack, the LC IDE resizes it (chops off the bottom) to fit nicely in between the Mac menu bar and the dock. I don't want this to happen. I need it to be the actual size, even if it's partially obscured by

Could you move your resizing code to the first card instead? This might allow the magic to happen, and then add your own. Or perhaps send a command in half a second or so after the stack opens. Then you are guaranteed to work your magic after the IDE does its own. Craig Newman
