Funny, I was thinking the same thing. :)

But Howard would still need to install the developer profiles via XCode. 
It's a one-time task though.

Re: detect keyboard height on mobile

2012-09-21 Thread ha...@exformedia.se
What I do is to place every form control in a group and then when a control 
gets the focus you scroll the group so the field is visible, then when the 
keyboard is dismissed you scroll the group back to its original position. You 
can also add user scrolling to the group so the user can scroll up and down.

 It would be much simpler to have a cross platform modal for text editing.
 Perhaps single and multiline options.
 
 
 Except sometimes you wish your editing was not modal... A client complained
 about the modal editing, he wanted me to provide in-place editing for the
 apps forms but since they were complex forms that went below the the middle
 of the card, I could not provide in-place editing because the keyboard
 would launch on top of the fields.
 
 My solution was to hard code some modal inputs which is not bad but still I
 need to figure out where to place the controls on the modal input card. For
 example is my ok button too far down that it will overlap with the
 keyboard? This is a hard question to answer. Not all inputs are single
 line. Sometimes you have a text area input, how tall can this text area be
 before it overlaps with the keyboard?
 
 I want the working screenrect to tell me that information. =)

SNAFU...

2012-09-21 Thread John Dixon

Err... a problem

I have some apps in the iTunes store... When they are downloaded onto an iphone 
running iOS 6 they crash !...

Anyone seeing the same ?... All my apps were built using Snow Leopard 10.6.8, 
LC 5.5.1, xCode 4.2.. the settings in standalone settings were for 'ipod 
iphone', '3.1.3 or later' and 'Universal'... looking quickly through the Apple 
stuff it seems that I am going to have to resubmit these apps.

So, right now am installing Mountain Lion and xCode 4.5... 

But until I can do that, jump through all the 'bloody' hoops again and get 
things back to some semblance of normality, has anyone any idea how I can take 
my apps down from the iTunes store ?... as one of them is still selling quite 
well, but I think that it will be better to take them all down rather than 
having people download them and watch them crash !...

Is all this a liveCode problem ?

Help...:-)

Hi Dixie,

This is a Livecode problem.
The same thing happened last year with iOS 5.
My apps crash on iOS 6 as well. last night I installed Xcode 4.5 and the
Simulators 5.0 and 5.1.
I will test tonight if the apps compiled from LC 5.5.2 will work with iOS 6.

Otherwise Runrev needs to make an update.

 And there's not much advantage to tracking all that when the engine does it 
 for you anyway.
 
 At present (as I'm sure 99% of the readers of this Use-List already
 know) each lockscreen
 is initiated like this:
 
 set the lockscreen to true
 
 and, as we have all recently become, almost painfully, aware, you can do
 that as many times
 as you like, but then have to do
 
 set the lockscreen to false
 
 just as many times to reverse the process
 
 Not really. You don't have to track it at all. There are several ways to 
 handle it:
 
 1. Just ignore it. When the handlers are done the screen will unlock 
 automatically.
 
 2. If you always pair locks and unlocks in each handler, the situation will 
 never arise.
 
 3. If you do feel that you simply must make sure the screen is unlocked, the 
 method is three lines of code:
 
 repeat until the lockscreen is false
  unlock screen
 end repeat
 
 But I can't remember ever needing to do that. Have you ever run up against a 
 problem with it?

Re: SNAFU...

2012-09-21 Thread Matthias Rebbe
Hi John,

use xCode 4.4 instead of 4.2 and it will work.

I would not recommend to use 4.5 at the moment.

Here´s a posting from Runrev in the dev list about using xCode 4.5.
I think it is okay to post it here:

After some testing and discussions with the team I can confirm that LiveCode 
5.5.2 with xCode 4.5 will only allow you to simulate.
in order to build for device, please use LiveCode 5.5.2 with xCode 4.4. The 
reason for this is that xCode 4.4 has the iOS 5.0/5.1 SDK included. xCode 4.5 
only has the iOS 6.0 SDK which is not supported in LiveCode 5.5.2. 


Regards,

Matthias

Re: Oval Bug in iOS

2012-09-21 Thread Bob Earp
Roger, I noticed your post previously and wondered why you did not get any 
responses.  Pity...

I can't check what you are experiencing not having messed around with an iOS 
delivery yet, but it sounds like it is a bug tied to a refresh problem.  
Remember we used to get these issues going back to SuperCard days and ended up 
redrawing a new grc and deleting the old one.  If you can isolate when it 
happens exactly, i.e. you can repeat it, then maybe you can try reading the 
properties of the oval, then draw a new oval based on that, and see if the new 
one has the same gaps.  It's a kluge, but maybe something that'll keep you 
going while Rev fixes the bug which I would hope you will post.  If you do, 
please let me know and I'll vote for it.

best, Bob...


 Greetings!
 
 If you grow an oval with a repeat loop that incrementally increases its width 
 and height, it works fine in the IDE and standalone Mac app. But, if you run 
 the same code in the iOS simulator or an iPad, there is a small sector 
 missing at 3 o'clock. It looks like the oval has settings of a startAngle of 
 about 1 or 2, with an arcAngle of about 358 or 359. Any ideas?
 
 Thanks very much!

Re: Show/hide problem

2012-09-21 Thread Peter Haworth
Hi Jacque,
It is the stack you're thinking of.  I had the same thought regarding the
front script and did move it to be the very last thing in the script but
still no joy.  I'm wondering whether the problem is also causing the issue
we discussed regarding your license checking software.

Trying to come up with scenarios that would fit the symptoms, I believe the
problem is all centered around the creation/writing/reading of files.
 Maybe the LC mechanisms for those activities aren't yet fully loaded
during preOpenCard for the main stack?

I'm about to go check all this out with Mark's PowerDebug installed,
hopefully it will reveal all!

 In this particular case, I'd suspect the frontscript. If it's the one I'm
 thinking of, it duplicates some of LiveCode's frontscript (which I
 understand is necessary for what you want to do.) I'd guess that moving it
 down the message path avoids some conflict. That might be why any type of
 delay fixes it too; the IDE's script gets a chance to run first.

 Just a guess.

Thanks for your reply, Scott. Coincidentally, I upgraded my Xcode to version 
4.5, and now my simulator is not working, and I am not yet able to investigate 
why your stack seems to work and mine doesn't. Would you know about this new 
problem? My LiveCode shows only grayed out simulators under the Development

developer root for iOS 4.0 and above: is blank and I can't find anything that 
sticks there.

Your dev profiles need to be installed on your Mac. You probably already 
will have done that, actually, since LiveCode needs you to specify one 
before it can build an app. So basically if your laptop is set up 
correctly to build iOS apps then AirLaunch will work. You won't need 
XCode or iTunes. You won't need a cable either, but you will need wi-fi. 
If you won't have wi-fi where you're going then Monte's solution may be 
better because his uses a physical cable between the devices.

Creating Audio Files

2012-09-21 Thread Peter Bogdanoff
Hi,

I'm wanting to create a QuickTime file from a portion of another QT file.

I have a player with the playSelection set to play a portion of a file. I'd 
like to be able to save that portion to a new file.

Is this possible?

thanks,

Peter Bogdanoff

[ANN] lcStackBrowser V1.0.3

2012-09-21 Thread Peter Haworth
Version 1.0.3 of lcStackBrowser, an alternative to the IDE Application
Browser, is now available at www.lcsql.com. You can find full details of
the bug fixes and enhancements in this release
herehttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1gPK6EQ1qXxr_-g9zLkRDa7thmV62jW_5_ylgkpKAOAc/edit
.

I'm pleased to announce that this version of lcStackBrowser provides an
interface to Richard Gaskin's 4WProps plugin, a great tool for viewing and
editing all the properties of an object.  Thanks to Richard for allowing me
to make a small change to his code to enable the integration.

In order for this feature to work, you must be using version 1.6.2 of
4WProps, included in the zip file of this release, and it must be installed
in your user plugins folder.  To access 4WProps, hold down the option key
while clicking an object's icon in lcStackBrowser.

I'm hoping that this will be the first of several integrations with other
IDE-related plugins.  There are so many great plugins available that
operate on an individual basis and it would be great to have a central
point to access them from.  If you have a plugin you think would benefit
from integration with lcStackBrowser, please contact me off list.

Re: Oval Bug in iOS

2012-09-21 Thread Roger Guay
Scott, you are absolutely right . . . your stack works just fine in iOS, but 
mine does not. And the reason? my script is something like the following:

on growOval
put the loc of grc OvalThing into theloc
lock screen
add 2 to the width of grc Ovalthing
add 2 to the height of grc OvalThing
set the lock of grc OvalTHing to theloc
unlock screen
end growOval

Whereas your script did the following:

put the rect of grc ovalThing into theRect
decrease the first 2 items of theRect and increase the second 2 items of theRect
set the rect of grc ovalThing to theRect

I've determined that locking the screen has no effect, so I have to assume my 
method of adjusting width, height and then the loc, results in the small sector 
missing problem. 

So, bottom line: your method is superior, but I wonder if my method should work 
as well, and is this therefore a bug?  

BTW, my other problem with mobile not working was that I had been trying to use 
iPad Simulator 6.0. Selecting simulator 5.0 works. And apparently with LiveCode 
5.5.2 and Xcode 4.5,
the Location of developer root for iOS 4.0 and above is empty in the Mobile 
Support Preferences. So now my remaining problem is why does simulator 6.0 not 
work.

Thanks very much for your help, Scott.

Re: Oval Bug in iOS

2012-09-21 Thread Scott Rossi
Roger:

It really shouldn't make any difference how the oval is scaled, unless
there's some newly introduced bug in LC or some incompatibility in the
latest Xcode.  Asking the obvious: are you sure the settings on your oval
are startAngle of 0 and arcAngle of 360?

Drag/Drop in modal dialogs

2012-09-21 Thread Peter Haworth
I think I've run into this before but it seems that drag/Drop operations in
a modal stack don't work, basically nothing happens.  This is drag/drop
from one control to another within the modal stack.

Pretty sure RunRev support told me this couldn't be done a few months back
but before I accept that, I thought I would check the collective knowledge
of the list.

Thanks

Re: lock/unlock screen

If you can't sleep at night because you're worried about multiple lock
screen, or keeping track of pairs, why not:

if the lockScreen is false then lock screen

If you only ever use this, when you absolutely need the screen to be
locked, then the count will only ever be 1. For those instances where you
absolutely need the screen to be unlocked:

if the lockScreen is true then unlock screen

Then you don't have to bother about keeping track of pairs and can rest
easy at nights knowing that if left to the engine it only has to unlock
once when it goes idle - rather than having to wait a millisecond longer if
you had dozens piled up.
