[OT] Text analysis and author, anyone done it?
Has anyone implemented anything in LC which takes a passage of text and then does statistical analysis to see whether another passage was written by the same author? Or do you know of any implementation in any other language for that matter...?

Visual effect transition from a card to another with sound on iOS
Hello, does anybody know of an elegant solution to have this transition done simultaneously ? I'm using this : visual effect push left if environment() is not development then iphonePlaySoundOnChannel getSound(load), Transient, now go next In the development environment and in the simulator the transition with visual effect and sound playing behaves as expected but on my device (iPhone GS - iOS 4.3.3) it doesn't.

revVideograbber-iSight bug fixed in Mac OS X 10.6.8
Good news for those wanting to use revVIdeoGrabber for capturing video on the Mac. The newly released update to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 fixes a bug in Mac OS X that resulted in part of the preview window being covered by a coloured area when using the built in iSight camera. Bug report #9215. This bug appeared in 10.6.5 and remained in 10.6.6 and 10.6.7. This bug did not affect newer Macs with the FaceTime Camera. I have tested this on a Mac Book Pro with an iSight Camera and it works fine. I would like to hear from others if they are seeing the same thing. If anyone else who uses revVideograbber on the Mac can check this out and report back that would be great.

Re: force exit of mouseDown?
In what way? mouseStillDown, for example. When part of a script set as a behavior, mouseStillDown would not work. But that same script with the same mouseStillDown handler, when actually stored as a button's script, worked as expected. One other thing I noticed during development and had thought due to my uncertain knowledge about the various mouse-related handlers, was that I couldn't rely on me but had to be more specific. Something like put the short name of the owner of me into tGroup; if the flag of button theButton of group tGroup is..., rather than simply if the flag of me is Anyway. I doubt I will ever rely on behaviors again. And I don't feel confident enough with my programming skills to present this to LC as something like a bug. Cause I have been known to be wrong -- though not about mouseStillDown working now when it wasn't before.

Re: force exit of mouseDown?
Nicolas Cueto wrote: mouseStillDown, for example. When part of a script set as a behavior, mouseStillDown would not work. But that same script with the same mouseStillDown handler, when actually stored as a button's script, worked as expected. In a way that's kinda good news, as mouseStillDown is an anomaly among mouse messages. I think you'll find the other mouse messages quite reliable in behavior scripts, but mouseStillDown is an oddity as noted in the Dictionary: Usually, it is easier and more efficient to use the mouseMove message to track the movement of the mouse while the button is being held down. Note: If there is no mouseStillDown handler in the target object's script, no mouseStillDown message is sent, even if there is a mouseStillDown handler in an object that's further along the message path. Your behavior script should work if you add this to the target object: on mouseStillDown pass mouseStillDown end mouseStillDown Why is mouseStillDown so different from other mouse messages? Because it's uniquely inefficient, and the mouseMove message was provided to provide an alternative that's far more flexible and takes fewer system resources for many similar needs. Most OSes provide a message when the mouse first goes down, but not all of them provide a second message sent continuously while the mouse is being held down. So to provide mouseStillDown for us the engine needs to continually poll the OS for the state of the mouse button. It does this with a frequency defined in the idleRate, which is far less frequent than checking if the mouse is down in a repeat loop, but still not optimal. If the message was always sent into the message path whether or not it's needed, anytime the user holds the mouse down it would trigger a lot of messaging overhead that's never used. But what if you need it? Like the idle message (HyperCard's message-clogging workaround for not having timers), all you need to do is include a mouseStillDown handler in any target you want it to be sent to, and the engine will then know to trigger that seldom-used message. Seldom-used? Yes: Historically, mouseStillDown was most often used for dragging or other operations in which things need to be updated while the mouse is moving. In such cases, the developer probably doesn't need to update anything until the location of the mouse changes, but mouseStillDown is continually being sent anyway, requiring a lot of redundant processing for things which have no visible effect. So the mouseMove message was added, providing a way to update things only when the mouse is moved. MouseMove also works when the mouse is up, which can be useful for update mouse position indicators in a drawing program's rulers, for example. This additional flexibility requires us to use a few other handlers to substitute for mouseStillDown, but it well worth the few seconds it takes to set up. You'll need a mouseDown to set a flag so the mouseMove can know that the mouse is down without having to poll the OS (you can also use this flag for other useful info, as shown below), and you'll need mouseUp and mouseRelease messages to clear the flag. This example is for a splitter control that adjusts the groups on either side of it: local sXOffset on mouseDown -- Provide the info mouseMove will need later: put the mouseH - the left of me into sXOffset end mouseDown on mouseMove -- Is the flag still set? if sXOffset is not empty then -- If so, handle the splitter drag here: set the rect of grp LeftGroup to \ 0,0,the left of me, the height of this cd set the rect of grp RightGroup to \ the right of me, 0, the width of this cd, the height of this cd end if end mouseMove -- Clear the flag when the mouse is released over the control: on mouseUp put empty into sXOffset end mouseUp -- Clear the flag when the mouse is release when not over the control: on mouseRelease put empty into sXOffset end mouseRelease In addition to handling simple drags like a splitter, drag-and-drop operations can be handled using the messages provided for those (dragStart, dragMove, dragDrop, dragEnd) far more simply than emulating drag-and-drop behaviors with mouseStillDown. So once we use mouseMove for movement-related things and the drag-and-drop messages for those types of actions, the remaining subset of cases where mouseStillDown can be useful are relatively few. And for those, you can still use it so long as you provide a handler for it in the target object. One other thing I noticed during development and had thought due to my uncertain knowledge about the various mouse-related handlers, was that I couldn't rely on me but had to be more specific. Something like put the short name of the owner of me into tGroup; if the flag of button theButton of group tGroup is..., rather than simply if the flag of me is More

Re: force exit of mouseDown?
That would make a good LiveCode article. Bob On Jun 24, 2011, at 10:39 AM, Richard Gaskin wrote: Nicolas Cueto wrote: mouseStillDown, for example. When part of a script set as a behavior, mouseStillDown would not work. But that same script with the same mouseStillDown handler, when actually stored as a button's script, worked as expected. In a way that's kinda good news, as mouseStillDown is an anomaly among mouse messages. I think you'll find the other mouse messages quite reliable in behavior scripts, but mouseStillDown is an oddity as noted in the Dictionary: Usually, it is easier and more efficient to use the mouseMove message to track the movement of the mouse while the button is being held down. Note: If there is no mouseStillDown handler in the target object's script, no mouseStillDown message is sent, even if there is a mouseStillDown handler in an object that's further along the message path. Your behavior script should work if you add this to the target object: on mouseStillDown pass mouseStillDown end mouseStillDown Why is mouseStillDown so different from other mouse messages? Because it's uniquely inefficient, and the mouseMove message was provided to provide an alternative that's far more flexible and takes fewer system resources for many similar needs. Most OSes provide a message when the mouse first goes down, but not all of them provide a second message sent continuously while the mouse is being held down. So to provide mouseStillDown for us the engine needs to continually poll the OS for the state of the mouse button. It does this with a frequency defined in the idleRate, which is far less frequent than checking if the mouse is down in a repeat loop, but still not optimal. If the message was always sent into the message path whether or not it's needed, anytime the user holds the mouse down it would trigger a lot of messaging overhead that's never used. But what if you need it? Like the idle message (HyperCard's message-clogging workaround for not having timers), all you need to do is include a mouseStillDown handler in any target you want it to be sent to, and the engine will then know to trigger that seldom-used message. Seldom-used? Yes: Historically, mouseStillDown was most often used for dragging or other operations in which things need to be updated while the mouse is moving. In such cases, the developer probably doesn't need to update anything until the location of the mouse changes, but mouseStillDown is continually being sent anyway, requiring a lot of redundant processing for things which have no visible effect. So the mouseMove message was added, providing a way to update things only when the mouse is moved. MouseMove also works when the mouse is up, which can be useful for update mouse position indicators in a drawing program's rulers, for example. This additional flexibility requires us to use a few other handlers to substitute for mouseStillDown, but it well worth the few seconds it takes to set up. You'll need a mouseDown to set a flag so the mouseMove can know that the mouse is down without having to poll the OS (you can also use this flag for other useful info, as shown below), and you'll need mouseUp and mouseRelease messages to clear the flag.

Re: The Wait command
Hi Bob, This is definitely new territory for me but I think perhaps the with messages option of the wait command does what you want. The dictionary indicates that with messages allows the user to carry on doing other things in LC while it is waiting for suspended handler to to resume.

It can be done statistically. Various methods have been proposed and used. One general kind of measure is the probability of another word coming, as a function of the past n words.

It's been in beta test for over a year, and I am deeply appreciative for all the feedback the beta testers have provided over that time - this thing has only gotten better and better. I think it's now just about everything I want in a tools palette. Why bother? The tools palette has grown long in the tooth. The only change to it over the last ten years has been the addition of the datagrid. I always wanted to add my own controls to the tools palette but never could (I think Ken Ray has done something along this line as well g). And the graphics tools needed an update. For instance, each graphic and paint tool now remembers its settings - you can have different colors or patterns or gradients settings for each tool. PowerTools widgets are mostly DropTools-compatible. Properly formed DropTools can be used with PowerTools, and properly formed widgets can be used with DropTools. Ken Ray and I have worked to ensure maximum compatibility with few differences - the main idea here is to provide a platform for the exchange of custom controls with other users. In addition you can organize your widgets into folders, and turning your custom controls into usable and sharable widgets is very easy. A trial version has been posted to revOnline. It is fully functional, but will annoyingly revert back to the standard tools palette at random intervals and prompt you to purchase a real copy. RevOnline won't allow me to post a widgets archive, just a stack, so you can pick up sample widgets at http://www.ahsoftware.net/files/PowerToolsWidgets.zip Place both the plugin and the PowerTools Widgets folder in your user plugins directory and you're good to go. ...and some documentation is starting to appear at http://mwieder.on-rev.com/WordPress/?cat=7 Did I mention that the introductory price is way too low?
