backscripts vs. libraries in 8 with .livecodescript

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

Aside from the libraryStack/releaseStack messages, is there any difference
between using a .livecodescript file as a backscript vs a library?

playloudness of audioclip ignored on Windows?

[David V Glasgow via use-livecode]

I have a ‘click' audio clip that typically is played once only in any one use 
of the software, as a sort of 'captured data’ indicator in response to an on 
screen button.  That meant that the slight delay in first playing an audio clip 
was always noticeable for users.

To get around this, I used this script to play silently once on opencard, and 
then the ‘real’ click would not be laggy.

On opencard
  set the playloudness of audioclip “click.aiff” to zero
  play audioclip “click.aiff”
  set the playloudness of audioclip “click.aiff” to 50
–– not sure this setting is retained, but hey ho.
end opencard

This works fine in the ide and in Mac standadalone.  No click, and no lag when 
the click is needed for real.

On Windows (10 and Vista tested so far) standalone the click is not muted, but 
plays at the OS volume setting.

I have looked through the docs and forums, but can’t see anything relevant.  
Any ideas?

Developing on Mac OS 10.12, LC 7.1.3


Best wishes,

David Glasgow

When you need to have a break from LiveCode how about popping
over here:

Of course, if that fills you will joy: then go back and do it all in 
LiveCode :)

Re: Help needed with scaleFactor and scaling

[Colin Holgate via use-livecode]

This seems to work (to make button 1 appear to be 100 pixels from the top and 
left, and to appear to be 200 wide and 150 tall):

on fixit
   put random(10)/10 + 1 into it
   set the scalefactor of this stack to it
   set the rect of btn 1 to 100/it,100/it,100/it+100/it,100/it+50/it
end fixit

Help needed with scaleFactor and scaling

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Can anyone figure out the math to resize a control so it appears to be 
unchanged when you set the scaleFactor of a stack?  For example… you have a 
button who’s rect is 100,100,400,400.  On the screen, it looks to be 300px 
wide.  Now, if you set the scaleFactor to 1.5, what rect do you have to set the 
button to get it to “appear” to remain 300px wide?  At first, I thought it 
would simply be each item of the rect/scaleFactor.  But, that doesn’t do it.  I 
feels like you have to get the DPI of the active display and somehow use that 
as part of the equation.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
-Dan
