Re: Grab Me Fails on snapshot Images of fields which are transparent (opaque false)

2016-02-05 Thread Randy Hengst

"grab me" works on any part of transparent fields .. even when clicking on the 
transparent part of the field… can you just use all fields?

If you haven't had any success with the Virtualmin/Webmin guys, another
thing to look at is the Apache error log for your domain when calling

The error log will often reveal more information about the actual error,
than what you see displayed in the browser.

If you have other sites working under Virtualmin, you could also compare
the Apache config for a domain that is working to one that isn't - in
particular the ScriptAlias lines and the config in the /home/xxx/cgi-bin> section for your site. You can find the Apache
config for the domain in Virtualmin under "Services" - "Configure

[BUG] Standalone Application Settings

2016-02-05 Thread Kay C Lan

OS X 10.9.5 LC 8.0 dp 14

Building a Windows app I get a message saying that the generic app icon
isn't available and the path is this:

LiveCode Indy 8.0 (dp
13).app/Contents/Tools/Runtime/Windows/x86-32/Support/Sample
Icons/genericapp.ico

Note the mention of dp 13. If I retrieve my copy of dp 13 out of the Trash
and build the app again in dp 14 everything proceeds without the message.
Clearly the path needs updating.

Related to this, but probably due to my own lack of knowledge as I've only
ever used generic icons before. In dp 14 if I select OS X and Windows App
and Doc icons (.icns and .ico of appropriate size) my app is not built
using these icons. Also, when I return to the Standalone Application
Setting the 2 selections for OS X have returned to blank and the 2
selections for Windows have returned to their generic file paths. Is that
normal?

I'll submit a bug report once someone confirms it's not just me.

Maybe snapshot with a file type that doesn't have an alpha channel?

Re: Grab Me Fails on snapshot Images of fields which are transparent (opaque false)

2016-02-05 Thread Scott Rossi

You're correct -- anywhere the image is 100% transparent will not respond
to click/touch.  Here are a couple of workarounds:

1) Export your tile images from a group that includes a graphic behind the
field set to 1% opacity of the main color that appears where your tiles
will be placed (white is fine as well).  The 1% opacity included in the
snapshot will make the images respond to clicks.

2) Instead of dragging the image tiles around the card, use graphics.
Create an opaque graphic for each tile image, and set the backPattern of
each graphic to the id of each tile.  The graphics will take on the
transparency of the images, but will remain clickable.

Other folks here may have additional options.

Grab Me Fails on snapshot Images of fields which are transparent (opaque false)

2016-02-05 Thread Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami

 
I have a puzzle widget that is made by importing a snapshot of a field with 
words in it, then we make a copy of that images and repeatedly crop to each 
word.

Now we have small image tiles.  Works great BUT

Problem: The original field has a transparent background. which I am hoping to 
keep. And unexpectedly, the snapshot of the field seems to include the alpha 
channel for the background which is set to transparent… so you *can* see 
through the images.

 If you put “grab me” into the 

on mousedown 
   grab me
end mousedown

script of the image tiles created by this method… you cannot grab the image — 
either with the pointer mouse tool on desktop or your finger on mobile— unless 
you are in contact with the pixels of the letters of the word. Even though the 
rect of the image includes areas above, below beyond and obviously in between 
the letters… if you contact any of those areas, you cannot drag, the image tile 
 

Am I wrong in thinking that the grab me message should be sent if you mousedown 
anywhere in the rect of the image?

I confirmed this by setting the field with a colored background, then making 
the tiles… now you can move them around by  easily no matter where your finger 
or mouse contacts the image.

work around of course is to set the background to the same color as the tiles… 
but what I really want is to be able to see through the tiles. 

If I wanted to test how would you do this: set the alpha channel of the 
background of these images to just a small value… they would still be 
semi-tranparent, but perhaps grabme would see them as “grabbable” throughout 
the entire rect?  How would you do that 

??

You'll get a list of all currently open stacks, and you can use the

IDE stack names

2016-02-05 Thread Matt Maier

What are the names of the IDE stacks? I'm trying to get the script editor
back onto the screen because sometimes it randomly decides it doesn't want
to be on the screen. I tried stack "script editor" and stack "code editor"
in the message bar but neither can be found.

This isn't the first time I've had to address one of the IDE's stacks in
script. I think the last time was trying to set the colors of the
ask/answer popups, which I think I might have found in a tutorial, or just
guessed at based on what they were probably called.

Is there a way to lookup that information?

Re: Visual Effect and Initial Commands "disappear" on card transition

2016-02-05 Thread Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami

I solved the problem myself.

There is a caveat with animationEngine… I don’t understand it completely  

but  

on aeMoveDone  
nextEvent
end aeMoveDone

will fire too soon or “cuts out” part of the actions of the subsequent commands 
being invoked on the card we go to, as well as the visual effects of the 
handler in the stack script that drives the presentation from one card to the 
next.

BUT, all he wants is just a little time:

on aeMoveDone
   send "nextEvent" to this card in 500 milliseconds
end aeMoveDone

and everything runs as expected.

Visual Effect and Initial Commands "disappear" on card transition

2016-02-05 Thread Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami

 

For LC mystery forensics experts.  

I will attempt to send sweet dreams from Hawaii to anyone who can solve this 
problem.  

go stack url 
"http://dev.himalayanacademy.com/stacks/SivasHawaiiRevels/SivasHawaiiRevels.livecode”


Disclaimer: if you are appalled by my architecture, its’ because I don’t know 
what I’m doing…this world of animiation/presentation etc all new.  

I want users to drive events from a button on screen (on the right), so I set 
some custom prop flags and then this handler in the stack script does the work: 
 

on nextEvent  
put the uNextEvent of this card into tEvent
switch tEvent
case "nextStage" # set/called when all scenes are done on a card
put the uNextStage of this stack into tNextCard
visual effect dissolve very fast
go to card tNextCard
break
case "scene2"
send "scene2" to this card # almost always is one
break
case "scene3"
send "scene3" to this card # may not be one
break
case "scene4"
send "scene4" to this card # may not be one
break
end switch
end nextEvent

In the case of card 1, this is a title card… so I have the script drive the 
event, which is to go to the next card (s) after Animation Engine finishes some 
moves like this, the “nextEvent” command issue issued automatically:  

local tHALogo, tCompanyTitle  

on preOpenCard  
setStage
end preOpenCard

on opencard  
scene1
end opencard

command setStage  
put the long id of fld "companyTitle" into tCompanyTitle
put the long id of img "HaLogo" into tHaLogo

set the rect of tHALogo to 0,0,500,500
set the loc of tHALogo to the loc of this card
set the loc of tCompanyTitle to 1170,-123
hide grp "Navigators"
end setStage


command scene1  
set the uNextStage of this stack to "Stage1"
set the uNextEvent of this card to "nextStage"
aeLockMoves
aeChangeRect tHALogo, 40,40,220,220,1500,"overshoot"
aeMoveTo tCompanyTitle, the loc of this card, 1500, "inOut"
aeUnlockMoves
end scene1


on aeMoveDone  
nextEvent

end aeMoveDone

———  

This should cause LC to open Card 2 with a dissolve and run the preopen and 
open card scripts  

SetStage runs as expect, but  
scene1 does not (when coming from cd 1 only)

local tStage1Layer1, tModuleTitle  

on preopencard  
setStage
end preopencard

on openCard  
scene1
end openCard

# all objects:  

command setStage  
put the long id of img "stage-1_layer-1" into tStage1Layer1
put the long id of fld "moduletitle" into tModuleTitle
hide tStage1Layer1
hide tModuleTitle
hide grp "Navigators"
set the rect of tStage1Layer1 to the uMyEffects["startsizelocation"] of 
tStage1Layer1
end setStage

command scene1  
# first scenario
show img "stage-1_layer-1" with visual effect dissolve slowly

#second scenario
wait 2 seconds
put the uMyEffects["move1sizelocation"] of tStage1Layer1 into tNewLocation
put the uMyEffects["move1speed"] of tStage1Layer1 into tMove1Speed
aeChangeRect tStage1Layer1, tNewLocation,tMove1Speed,"out"
set the uNextEvent of this card to "Scene2"
show grp "navigators"

end scene1

command scene2 # this works  
show tModuleTitle


#only one scenario and then we are done... move on to next card/stage
set the uNextEvent of this card to "nextStage"

# next stage will be a puzzle:
set the uNextStage of this stack to "word-puzzle"

# we need to set the next puzzle number ahead of time
set the uPuzzleNo of card "word-puzzle" to 1


end scene2

This works fine for every transtion from card 2 to card 3, card 3 to card 4  

you can do go to card 3 (the puzzle) and do cmd 2 to go back and the script on 
Card 2 performs as expected  

BUT: when the script on card 1 runs. LC sticks on card 1 where I have my “wait 
2 seconds” (in the cd 2, scene1 handler) and does not go to card 2 until those 
2 seconds pass and then it ignores this completely  

# first scenario  
show img "stage-1_layer-1" with visual effect dissolve slowly

“For the life of me” I can figure out why….  

BR  

p.s. any advice on the approach one should talk to solving this kind of problem 
will help me… I tend to spin wheels… should one turn on the message watch, set 
a break point and step through… How do you do debugging, when there is no 
actual error, but things don’t perform as expected?
