Thanks and Happy New Year -- Jose If the Mac is PPC rather than intel, then I wouldn't recommend virtialization as it would be 'emulation', which is unproductively slow. You would be better off buying a low-end PC. However, if the Mac has an intel cpu, then start with the FREE Virtualbox, and see if it meets your needs. If not, VMware Fusion is very good, and also Parallels Desktop for Mac. If intel, and your OS is at least Leopard, SnowLeo, or Lion, you could install Windows using BootCamp (in Utililies). This would allow you to boot natively in Windows, and would be as close to the real thing as you can get while using Apple hardware. https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/ http://www.parallels.com/download/ http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3986 ˜Roger ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: OFF TOPIC virtualize windows on mac
If not, VMware Fusion is very good, and also Parallels Desktop for Mac. Just FYI, I've read a ton of comparisons on these two, and own both, and over the last year or two, Parallels has always come out ahead of VMWare in the published reviews. I can back that up with personal experience, too. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if VMWare jumps ahead of Parallels this year and the two get into a leap frog contest, but either one is great for virtualization, IMHO.

Visible text calculation
Has anyone figured out how to convert pageHeights into the equivalent character offsets of a field with variable lineHeights (e.g. char 1 to 174, char 175 to 315, char 316 to 420)? Put another way, using pageHeights to print a scrolling field, list the first and last chars of each printed page. Reason is to implement text flow (imagine virtual printing).

I was using metaphor in my own head of messages raining down on your stacks. I don't like this metaphor any more. I don't think it fits. If I am getting this right now. All messages have an explicit initial target, which is the point at which they enter the message path. A frontscipt is inserted *before* that target ( and all targets ). If it doesn't handle the message or if it passes it, that message continues on to its original target and then down through the normal message path. LiveCode out of the box doesn't have Event Listerners that can hear events from anywhere. Objects can only hear messages that are directed at them or have been passed down through the message path. Part of what got me into this was trying to create Event Listeners. Trevor does this in GLX and calls it broadcasting. I have some Flex and JavaScript experience which leads me to favor calling it Event Listeners. This turns out to be startling easy with LiveCode. Its less than 50 lines of code. Maybe 55 lines if you include the lines needed to load the frontscript. Objects can Listen for events and Object can Send events. Neither side needs to know anything about the other. I chose to do it with a FrontScript, because I felt it would be faster then using a library at the end of the message path.

What am I doing wrong? Should the last url reference, that is, the location on the local machine, be binfile rather than file? Regards, Gregory Have you tried binfile: instead of file: to prevent alteration?

Re: Ways to get the IDs of two already scripted buttons?
I put this into the card. It doesn't account for LOTS of things (such as multiple copies of the line if you just keep alt-clicking buttons) but does demonstrate a way to draw lines between 2 consecutively chosen buttons. If there are scripts in the button, they must pass mouseUp to work. If they're empty then its a non-issue. This script goes in the card script. Don't know if it'll help or if its too simplistic but perhaps it's a start. local sLastClick on mouseUp if the altkey is down then if the name of the target contains button then if sLastClick is empty then put the id of the target into sLastClick answer information first button chosesn else create grc connectLine set the style of grc connectLine to line set the points of grc connectLine to (the loc of the target) return (the loc of button id sLastClick) put the id of the target into sLastClick end if end if end if end mouseUp On Mon, Jan 2, 2012 at 3:45 PM, Kresten Bjerg kresten.bj...@psy.ku.dkwrote: Thanks for replies John: if a mouseenter can do the job, I guess that would be OK, -does this suggestion imply, that Altclick cannot be used ?

Re: Scripting a text to binary digits converter
More fun with LC's binaryEncode functions (see the card script): http://www.kkef.org/MIDIBuilder031212.rev It must be pretty quick to accept from user input an ascii representation of a musical note, convert it to binary from which a MIDI file is constructed and played, then add the input to an as-yet open-ended MIDI sequence (whose current length must be properly specified before attempting to update or play)- all in a fraction of a second. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Ways to get the IDs of two already scripted buttons?
Why is modifying button scripts out of the question? You have good instincts, but need work learning the language. (wait until the object is selected) This can work out. Keep posting. You will be amazed how much help will come.

Re: Another Gotcha
Why not do this in a mouseDown handler for the menu? On Thu, Dec 29, 2011 at 5:18 PM, Bob Sneidar b...@twft.com wrote: S'not. ;-) It's the handler that builds contextual menus.
