It may just be a mobile problem (or maybe just Android) because on desktop an SVG widget responds when you click in a transparent area. But to get a larger hit area you still have to make a group, because SVG widgets don't have margins and they always grow to fill their rectangle. It would be

AW: HD Windows Video Formats

Hi Jeff, I am working with H.264 mp4 videos for both Windows (directShow) and Mac (AVFoundation), compressed with Sorensons squeeze. The drawback is, that Windows 10 doesn't comes with a H.264 codec by default, so my users have to install the codec. I made good experiences with the LAV-Filter

First 1000 characters without loop?

I have a string variable which contains over 2500 characters. I only want to grab the first 1000 characters of that string. Rather than looping 1000 times to grab each character is there a way to just grab the first 1000 efficiently in one big chunk? Thanks, Rick

Hi Devin & Mark, Thanks for this solution. Does that statement create an implied loop? It’s great for a one liner though! Rick > On Jun 22, 2017, at 2:17 PM, Mark Talluto via use-livecode > wrote: > > On Jun 22, 2017, at 11:03 AM, Rick Harrison via

The DataGrid 2 fund raiser is interesting, not so much for the DataGrid; which I don't use; (Instantiating a small group template multiple times to make a longer grouped control is easy enough and scrolling list fields do the rest, so far there hasn't been a use case yet where Datagrid

I am so sorry to hear about Dan passing. I met him at a Rev conference in Monterey, California, which he organized. I also purchased three of his Rev PDF books. I still use them when I need help. Dan certainly was great promoter of Rev and would be in a Rev hall of fame if there was one.
