True, works here also, sorry all for the wrong info.
[Looked at my earlier tests. The problem there was the msgbox (kept hidden).]

an up-to-date browser widget/libbrowser,
'set my rectangle',
basic keyboard support,
base64Encode/Decode (this is nearly done),
call JS from LCB without using a browser widget.

Indeed it does.  And I stand corrected: callbacks apparently work in 
v9.5 under Catalina as well.


Man, sure would be nice to be able to do that on Linux

That callbacks are working in 9.5 explains why I wasn't able to find a 
bug report against them. :)

What do you need from LCB that's missing?

Richard, 9.0.5 WORKS, also its standalones (check 64 bit), on Catalina...
Even 8.1.10 can build (experimental) 64bit standalones.

I gave up to report all the regressions I suffer from with 9.5 on Catalina ...
I'm not a beta tester. At least as long as not even my tiniest wishes for HTML5
and LCB (incl. Browser widget) are fulfilled.

It would be easy to do that in a HTML5 standalone, even if you need webRTC/
getUserMedia. But the rest of your shining layout is probably rather unfinished
in the HTML5 standalone builder.

Thanks.  Unfortunately the reason I'm looking into this is to replace an 
old component dependent on 32-bit macOS, now that many are "upgrading" 
to Catalina.


::sigh::

I searched the bug DB, but couldn't find the report for this.  Do you 
know offhand what it's titled?


If we can't find a way to do video callbacks in LC our plan is to 
rewrite the app in HTML for the web.




I hear FileMaker users think video callbacks are really important

Yes. But they don't. Use 8.1.10 or 9.0.5.
TMHO 9.5.0 has effectively "beta" status.
