Well, I am no expert on .htaccess, but it does seem to be powerful, so . Instead of simply having ,htaccess use LCS for all htm/html files, can it not rewrite the URL to run a particular LC script, and pass the original URL name as a parameter? Then the LCS script can simply output the

Hi Jerry mergSocket is iOS only (so it won’t function in the IDE) and is only really maintained for legacy reasons because the engine now supports mobile sockets so I would recommend just using the engine commands. Cheers Monte > On 9 Jun 2016, at 8:20 AM, Jerry Daniels

So, yes, I know there are a zillion work around. Boolean flags being the most classic method. I already has such a work-around in place. That said, it seems the consensus - so far - is that 'startup' only executing in the Standalone is a "feature" that people have come to use and expect, so I

I like the way it works now. I usually have a startup handler in the first card of an app which gets things going, loads libraries etc. When I want to test the app in the IDE, I just execute send "startup" to cd "startcard" of stack "myinitialstack" from the message box. That way the test run

In LiveCode 6.7.11 and 8.1.0rc1 the startup message is send to your main stack when the mainstack is built as a standalone. However, if you open your stack in the IDE, the startup message is never received You can test this by making a new stack with the following script in the stack script: on

Re: Effective allowed orientation?

It may be debatable. If you have an app that does different things in portrait an landscape, it’s handy if LiveCode ignores the device settings. If you have a landscape-only app that swings around to the upside-down view, then that would be wrong. > On Jun 8, 2016, at 1:20 PM, Richard Gaskin

Mostly guessing here, but turning off auto rotation shouldn’t disable the accelerometer. You ought to be able to deduce if the device is now portrait, and that you haven’t had an orientation message. > On Jun 8, 2016, at 12:45 PM, Richard Gaskin > wrote: > >
