full justification in a text field

Peter, that works really well. Looks like it does require a monospaced font (I tried it with Monaco, looks good), so I'm not sure if my current client will want this approach, but it's nice to have a relatively simple native solution. Thanks so much! Curt -- Sent from Postbox

full justification in a text field

This seems like an awfully basic question, but is it possible to have text with full justification in a field? I've looked at using WordLib, but this client's text has lots of fussy formatting (background colors, different colors for individual characters) that didn't come through well.

Livecode and interactive video

I can't help with a LiveCode implementation, but if web delivery is an option, I've had good results using the free H5P technology for videos that include embedded quizzes of various kinds; I think it does image hotspots and branching as well. https://h5p.org -Curt -- Sent from Postbox

video formats for Windows in LC 9.6.5? *solved*

Thanks Klaus, Curry, Paul – just changing the suffix didn't help, but fortunately, converting the videos to divX format (.avi) with a free converter seems to have done the trick. The target audience is creative/theater types so the simplest solution is best here, but that's helpful to know

video formats for Windows in LC 9.6.5?

A client has asked me to update a project from a few years ago that includes a few videos. In the previous version we used clips in MP4 format with the suffix .m4v;  the codecs (judging from Get Info on a Mac) are H.264, AAC. These worked well on both platforms before. With LiveCode 9.6.5 on

Symantec quarantining LiveCode standalone on client's machine

Guess it's time to finally look into this. I just visited https://comodosslstore.com but am not sure of the differences between Comodo code signing, Microsoft Authenticode, etc... Any suggestions on best practices with LiveCode/Inno Setup are appreciated! -- Sent from Postbox

Symantec quarantining LiveCode standalone on client's machine

A client has reported that a small utility I've made for him is being blocked by Symantec on his Windows machine. We haven't had this issue before with an earlier version of the same utility, but now he gets this report: "Threat type: Insight Network Threat. There are many indications that

Using community to update text of a project distributed with Indy license?

Dear Heather, Thanks for the clarification. This is the answer I'd basically expected, but it'll be easier for me to steer the client in a different direction with the official word from you at LiveCode, so this is helpful. (They had originally suggested using Splashtop to try and make the

Using community to update text of a project distributed with Indy license?

A client needs to make minor updates to the text in a number of modules I've created over several years. To eliminate the back-and-forth of corrections and proofs, he's asked about making the changes himself in LiveCode. (He's never used LiveCode and doesn't have a copy.) The question has

how to load a local file into the browser widget?

Thanks Klaus, those are great tips! While I'm at it... some of the folders in the file path will be in Russian, which is breaking my current handler. Is there a way to run them through some unicode-type function to make them work in a file path? I can run those items of the file path through

how to load a local file into the browser widget?

Ah, thanks, Tore, that was it! Using two slashes in the handler *put*"file://"& thedefaultFolder& slash& "Future.html"intotFile produced the filePath with three slashes, file:///Users/cford/Desktop/BrowserTryout/Future.html which is now working fine. :) -- Sent from Postbox

how to load a local file into the browser widget?

You must make sure that the filePath to the html file you would like to see does not contain any invalid characters like spaces, which you will find is OK by the file system but not with the browser. I had wondered about this; I renamed the file to "Browsertryout" and moved it to the desktop

players misplaced & not functional on Windows 10

Those grey player bars look like you are using Quicktime for Windows vs DirectShow? What version of LiveCode are you using? Hm, these modules were done in LiveCode 7 or 8, I'd need to check. I dragged out Player objects for these sounds. Since they still run fine on my machine (and no other

players misplaced & not functional on Windows 10

I've done a series of modules for a client that involve lots of sound files in scrolling groups. To make layout consistent across platforms I have a handler that sets the location of the sounds above certain paragraphs. One user on Windows 10 is reporting that the sounds don't play; the

problem with revZipOpenArchive in a Mac app bundle?

I'm working on updating a client's project for 64bit compatibility on the Mac side. The project is a menu app that downloads and unzips a number of modules from a server. The previous version, done in LiveCode 7, saved & unzipped the modules in the app bundle, at

updating to 64bit for Macs: standalones vs stacks opened by a standalone

A few years ago I did a project for a client that involved a standalone that was basically just a menu of modules. When you clicked on an item, it downloaded the module, which was a Livecode stack (not standalone); after downloading, clicking on an item in the menu app would open the
