Inaccurate Android Setup Steps in Livecode's Tutorial
I'm attempting to follow these steps to set up my system for some Android dev work: http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/2571/l/27385-how-do-i-become-an-android-developer-on-a-pc#!prettyPhoto The first is this link to install the Java SDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html but there's no way to click the first button in a row of four since there's no row of four buttons. Evidently the web page has changed. There's an icon of a coffee cup but no icon of only the word Java as per the Livecode tutorial steps. I guessed and went with the Java Platform (JDK) 7u40 download and on the following screen I chose the Windows x64 variant of Java SE Development Kit 7u40 for my 64 bit machine. This download did not give me an installer or a wizzard as Livecode's steps detail. It simply gave me compressed files. I decompressed them and continued 'guessing around' on my own. In doing so I was able to create a virtual Android, but when I try to set the Location of my Android development SDK root in Livecode's preferences it complains the folder I've chosen is not a valid Android SDK folder regardless of which folder in that area I choose. Any suggestions?

Re: Inaccurate Android Setup Steps in Livecode's Tutorial
Vaughn, Thanks for your response, although I'm sorry to hear you too are having trouble with this. Since my post I did find a different link to the Java SDK. Instead of using this link from Livecode's tutorial: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html I tried this link: www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and had better luck in that at least I got an installer. However, after running it I still get the invalid Java SDK root folder error from Livecode's preferences regardless as to which folder in that area I select. Anybody else?

PDF's to PNG's on Windows 8
Sorry to bring this topic back up again but it seems there's no solution for this. Installing QuickTime on Windows does not display PDF's in a player object. This is odd since this works wonderfully on a Mac. Yrying to display PDF's in a browser object opens Adobe's Reader which, in Windows' very blunt way, hogs the entire screen burdening the user with lots of work just to get back to LiveCode. Even if this worked I'm not sure how I'd determine the number of pages and move through them to get the snapshots. Quartam Software has a nice PDF package but it only does the opposite by creating PDF files in Livecode. So there's apparently no solution to this seemingly common need to be able to view and convert PDF files to single PNG's or JPEG's in Livecode.

Re: Is Snapshot Possible with Two Monitors?
I'm using Livecode 5.5.4 on a Mac running 10.7.5 and I get pretty weird results. If I create a new main stack, put a single button on the one and only card which issues import snapshot on mouseUp I can click it and get the crosshair cursor. But no matter where I drag open a rectangle nothing happens and I continue to have the crosshair cursor as I drag open one rectangle after another. If I type a keyboard shortcut such as command-S I then get a snapshot from some random area on the monitors imported as an image.

Re: Drag and Drop
Very interesting point Jacqueline. In my case my image control displays nothing. I use it as a template, ultimately to make images out of what users drag and drops. It's the same dimensions as the stack itself. Since the image control displays nothing as it isn't linked (the FileName of it) to any file I'm not sure whether the whole thing is consider transparent pixels or not. Livecode doesn't seem to have a setting of transparent or opaque for image controls. So I've experimented with buttons giving them the same script as the image has: on dragEnter set the dragAction to copy pass dragEnter end dragEnter The new thing I've discovered is I can consistently break Livecode's accepting the drop, evidenced by the cursor turning into a circle with a line through it instead of a plus sign, if I drag extremely slowly right at the point where I stop dragging across the desktop and start dragging over the stack window. This happens even if I let the button overlap off the stack window. If I continue dragging around on top of the stack to another button with the same script I do get the plus sign for a cursor. Weird isn't it? On May 9, 2013, at 9:14 PM, J. Landman Gay wrote: On 5/9/13 7:03 PM, Ray Horsley wrote: At the end of the day I'm wondering if this should be reported as a bug.

Then, simply continuing to drag off the stack window and right back on it fixes it. I wonder if it is because you are dropping onto an image. Images don't register mouse events unless you click (or presumably release) on an opaque pixel. It may be that sometimes you're dropping onto a transparent area and then nothing will happen. You could test the theory by putting a big button over the card and seeing if the drop is reliable there, or by always consciously dropping exactly on an opaque area. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Drag and Drop
Well I haven't tried Linux but this behavior happens on both Mac and Windows. And Paul, thanks for the card script idea. I started out trying things in the card script but when I got the sporadic behavior I decided it was because a card is technically not a control. Not sure about that. In any event I'm sorry to report the script you've given me still isn't stopping the cursor from remaining a circle with a line through it without changing to the plus sign. I'll continue to experiment.

Drag and Drop
I've never used this feature before and no matter how I set it up it seems kind of sporadic. The goal is to drag an image file (jpg, jpeg, png, etc.) from the desktop onto a card, get the path to it and ultimately import it into the stack. I've place an image control on the card which is the same dimensions as the stack itself and scripted the following: on dragEnter set the dragAction to copy -- this is the sporadic part which only sometimes turns the cursor into a plus thus allowing dragDrop to catch the drop pass dragEnter end dragEnter on dragDrop put the dragData into curFilePath -- continue to import the file end dragDrop This works 'some of the time' but I'm still often unable to drop what I'm dragging since the cursor doesn't always turn into the plus sign. Each time this happens I try dragging the file again, immediately, and it suddenly works when I didn't change a thing. What am I missing to get drag/drop working consistently? Ray Horsley LinkIt!

Re: Drag and Drop
Many thanks to you all who responded to this thread I started earlier today. Unfortunately I still haven't resolved this issue so any other thought are appreciated. Here's a few responses to some of the ideas which were presented: - The mouseDown and mouseStillDown unfortunately don't work since I'm dragging a file from the desktop to a Livecode stack (not beginning the drag action in Livecode) although that's kind of cool to know that mouseMove messages get sent during a grab. I didn't know that. - Doing anything with on dragStart also does not work since I'm starting the drag operation outside of Livecode (on a desktop file) - Setting the dragAction to copy instead of move works better in my case since it adds a plus sign to the cursor (when it works) but still does not solve the intermittent failure of Livecode to accept the drop consistently. - Thanks for the link to the article Pinning Drag-and-Drop to the Mat but I had actually read through it yesterday when I began wrestling with this. It, too, does not address dragging files from the desktop into Livecode. At the end of the day I'm wondering if this should be reported as a bug. It seems like something is getting hooked in memory. It's weird that I can drag a file onto my Livecode stack (which is one large image control with the drag handlers in it) and get nothing. Then, simply continuing to drag off the stack window and right back on it fixes it. I'll continue to wrestle and post any solutions I find. Thanks!

Re: LiveCode Player for 5.5
Thanks Richard for these thoughts. I believe I fall into a variant of the camp A which you've mentioned, working with organizations run by really dumb and most of all lazy IT staff. Not all of our clients are like this, but frequently we'll run into IT guys who are simply too lazy too download anything to all the machines in their schools. This is a sales block and my hope was that Rev's browser plugin would get us past that, even though that, too, must be downloaded. I couldn't agree more with the technical case you've made here but who was that shoe salesman in New York who made the famous comment Give the lady what she wants? We've got to make sales and if the client wants software that runs in a browser we can either argue with her or make the sale and move on. Obviously the latter of these is by far preferable.

I had hoped it had been cleaned up since I last worked with it, not abandoned. If it's gone someone should let RunRev know: http://www.runrev.com/products/web/ From what I see the education industry is not the only area moving rapidly toward doing everything in a browser. Healthcare, finance, you name it, everybody spends most of the day in browsers today. Does this mean the majority of us Livecoders are doing nothing more than writing mobile apps? Ironically, a mobile app is very much like the most viable, flexible, and cost-effective alternative to RevWeb: net-savvy standalones. Whether the LiveCode engine is wrapped as a browser plugin or your own standalone, either way it'll need institutional buy-in to get your stacks distributed. Any org that will allow a third-party binary browser plugin should also allow a standalone. Like the browser plugin, a standalone can easily download stacks from a server, even compressed stacks for quick delivery. But unlike a browser you have far more options: Your users can enjoy the flexibility any desktop app has in terms of a UI dedicated for its workflow, along with local file access and other traditional app features, which can be used to provide an offline mode, smart caching, and more. And if needed, a standalone can be more secure than a browser: just turn on the secureMode as the first line in your startup handler, and your app will be prevented from many any changes at all on the local machine. I suspect that most of the laments from not being able to use RevWeb for deployment fall into two camps: a) Devs who've had to work with orgs run by dumb really dumb IT staff who somehow think that a proprietary binary executable that's called a browser plugin is somehow inherently safer than an application b) Devs who haven't really pursued such conversations with their clients seriously, so the issue is largely just theoretical for them. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Reverting to 5.0.2
I've saved a stack in 5.5 but now I'd like to open it in 5.0.2 which doesn't recognize it as a stack. I can open it in 5.5 and save it in legacy but that takes me all the way back to 2.7 with an unknown number of feature losses. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ray Horsley LinkIt!

Re: LiveCode Player for 5.5
I'm in the K-12 education field. Teachers are quickly moving away from downloading anything and their IT guys are even worse, sometimes setting up systems which disallow downloading a desktop app. I hadn't looked at building for Web in a while but this is very discouraging to find it's gone. I had hoped it had been cleaned up since I last worked with it, not abandoned. From what I see the education industry is not the only area moving rapidly toward doing everything in a browser.

Thanks, Ray On Feb 22, 2012, at 5:03 PM, Dar Scott wrote: I got to thinking that was not very helpful. Here are some more details. The runtime mentioned is the Visual Studio C runtime library, not the LiveCode runtime. Even then, the sentence is goofy It essentially means that abort() has been called using an older runtime library, probably in a DLL. I suspect this is related to externals. The C runtime can be compiled into an external or the external can use a DLL. This might be a problem with an old external, an old OS, or a conflict among externals. Check with your external suppliers. If you build the external, consider rebuilding it, perhaps compiling the library into the external if that does not blow up the size. I have tripped up on getting the libraries right, so it takes some consideration. I wonder if this could be caused by some error down in the library that is not caught. It might be some problems with some version of LiveCode on some platform, but I doubt that. Dar On Feb 22, 2012, at 3:41 PM, Dar Scott wrote: I can think of a couple causes: 1.

Approach #1 means running it under a different instance of the engine (e.g. as a standalone that communicates with instance #1 via sockets for example), which could be pretty complex depending on what your stack is doing. Approach #2 means running your stuff inside a repeat loop that has a 'wait x seconds with messages' inside the loop. Seems like that would be impervious to flushEvents() but I haven't tested it.

2. Do something with Livecode {such as a rawkeyDown routine] so that end-users

Colin, I'm impressed you'd remember this. Very good! It seemed to me when I posted this question (today) that I had posted it a few years ago but I wasn't sure. The answer is I didn't get very far with it a few years ago and I'm still struggling with it today. I've used QuickKeys on the Mac to create my own keyboard shortcuts for frequently used menu choices but for some reason QuickKeys doesn't like having the shift and the command key together for this one particular command, Run, in the script Editor window. Anyway, where on the Mac keyboard is the Play button you're referring to? Thanks, Ray Horsley LinkIT!

Not that I would use it anyway, that nice friendly Play button is an easy way to proceed. On Sep 18, 2011, at 11:38 AM, Ray Horsley wrote: Anybody know how to change these? For example, Run, F5 on Windows, is command-shift-period on the Mac. That's kind of inconvenient for a frequently used choice, but it seems nearly impossible to change it. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Script Editor Keyboard Shortcuts
Ahh! Gotcha. I'm one of those users who likes to pass the mouse over variables to see what's in them, so that would mean a lot of extra moving the mouse around. But this discussion has given me a few new ideas and I appreciate you bringing my attention to those buttons at the top of the script editor window (which I never use and could possibly begin to like). Honestly though, wouldn't it be nice if there were a section in the Script Editor Preferences area of the IDE which allowed for the personalization of keyboard shortcuts? What do you think?

Re: UTF-8
Mark, Many thanks for this help. I believe my challenge is that my encoded text is actually wrapped in html. For example, after setting the htmlText of a field, this: divobject type=text/html data=passages/3167.htm//divspan class=class1bRead the following line from the poem.br/br//b/spanspan class=class1span class=class1You#x2019;ve udisturbed/u a mighty river just by dropping in a stone./spanbr/br//spanspan class=class1bWhat does the Latin root iturbare/i mean as used in the word udisturbed/u?/b/span produces this: Read the following line from the poem.You#x2019;ve disturbed a mighty river just by dropping in a stone.What does the Latin root turbare mean as used in the word disturbed? Can I operate on this entire chunk of html text or do I need to dig out pieces like You#x2019;ve and uniDecode them? Many thanks, Ray Horsley LinkIt!

In some cases the stack file itself becomes coruppted and can not be re-opened. (I'd love to share this tiny stack with anybody who's interested. Please let me know.) Any ideas anybody?

Editing a Cell in a Datagrid
Greetings, LiveCode's datagrid seems kind of sticky to me. I'm simply trying to open up any given cell for editing without obligating the user to double-click it. I'm not having any luck with the commands from the tutorials such as EditFieldText, EditValue, EditKey and EditKeyOfIndex. EditFieldText seems most likely but it never likes the parameters I send it. EditCell seems pretty straight forward by simply passing the column name and line number but this produces an error that no such handler exists. Any ideas?

Open the Application Browser by using the Tools menu then choose Revolution UI Elements in Lists in the View menu ( LiveCode may have changed this menu entry) Now you should see all the Integrated Dev Environ stacks (IDE) that all begin with 'rev', with the exception of the stack called Home You can now open these stacks and cards, scripts and settings.
