Today, Thierry allowed me to put the external from his text to speech app into
Augmented Earth. I was able to put in a paste button above the content field
and paste text into the app on my iPhone. It worked quite well.

I used "package" in the sense of npm. Most packages are modules

And yes, js is short for javascript, the usual file ending.

When a user clicks on a field to edit, that field could appear to start from
its location and grow to take up most of the screen.
It would actually be a mobi

"Low level binary data processing" means for me for example to invert
the color data of an image

Thanks Roger,
With the huge amount of LC/HTML work I have done over the last year, I feel
comfortable in saying that LC is vastly superior for all of the underlying text
processing and data manipulation that has to be done.
HTML/JS is all about presentation, but would be hard to use for the bac
No judgement here either. Just an involuntary gag reflex @ the thought of
my beloved LC being reduced to a l mere code-language traffic light.
Although I have always appreciated shell and do as applescript to get that
one little piece of data from the native OS, it's not the way I prefer to
use LC
LC is a perfect tool, for me also plays the role of a GUI when seeking for
speed. Javascript/HTML5 does a lot of low level binary data processing up to
100 times faster than LC Script (and no js-package needed for that).
To use javascript/HTML5 is not "bypassing" the LC language" but *extending*

No judgment from me on this. On the contrary, most development mixes
languages from time to time, and I think it can be instructive to
observe where the dividing lines of natural usage are found.
So I was kidding, of course, in referring to LC as a "JavaScript
packaging tool", but maybe only s
I am not trying to start a fuss - just find solutions for my particular problem.
This is what worked for me for this situation.
For situations where LC provides a full solution, it is MUCH faster to code in.

I just modified the texting part of Augmented Earth to use a browser widget for
texting - it was a huge pain. But - now it has inertial scrolling, copy and
paste, and works fine with all of the emojis.
I might wind up going that route on other text entry stuff. It is clean and
smooth that way.
For this case, though, it will have to be called up specially, not made to look
like it was already there.
The field in question also allows users to put in images - something I don't
think native fields can do. So the app would have an enter text button that
calls up the native field, where th

visible change can be seen - you might even be able to use the inputTextChanged

Hi Dave - I think that might help
I could give the user a button for opening up a pastable field. They could
paste into that and LC could process it and put it into the regular field. It's
not a bad idea.

Jonathan if you use a native field you can access it’s contents (which a user
could have pasted into it) via something like the inputEndEditing message, and
from there hide/delete the native field, reveal a LiveCode field, place the
relevant data into it etc etc - would this help your situation?
Thanks Richard,
This conversation has made me realize I am about to have a yak shaving
moment...
The most important field for submitting a report in Augmented Earth is the
Content field. Because it is an LC field, I use it to allow the user to
enter text, format the text, and upload images. The i

You don't need to. Write a loop that instantiates any editable fields
for you on preOpenCard and LiveCode will do the rest.

It would be very nice to be able to get and set the rawClipboardData on

Does that mean I could put the text to be copied into a native field, then put
into the clipboard from there?

The clipboard isn't supported in LC fields on mobile. To get full
clipboard support you need to use a native field.
