Wow, just got bitten by this long id reference again -- twice in 24 hours! I've been trying to call a function of another object using the old routine: get value("specialFunction()",remoteObject) And once again, this handler was failing for me when passing the long id of a control within the f

Alex, I'm sure you'll eventually take advantage of all that LC comes to offer, and they love you for your outside the box thinking and doing; but you're far more imaginative than the average "potential" LC user. Frankly, I'd love to be in your boots. (smile) Joe Wilkins On Oct 17, 2011, at 4:

Another drag/drop issue

I'm trying to drag and drop a column from a datagrid onto another datagrid on the same card. Everything works fine when I'm testing (the stack is toplevel), but when I use it for real (the stack is modal), none of the dragxxx handlers are being called. I'm really hoping the reason is that LC does

Re: SqLite to MySQL and back or ?

Sounds like what you want to is sync the databases accounting for any inserts, deletes, updates on either database. That gets pretty complicated! I think I'd probably take the route of accessing the remote mySQL db all the time if it's at all feasible and i not, then using ftp to upload/download

Re: SqLite to MySQL and back or ?

It's my belief that SqLite databases tend to be small enough that you can just copy the entire file back to a main server and not bother doing a sync of the data it contains. Probably be heck-a faster than a whole bunch of selects and updates and inserts from sqLite on a desktop to MySQL on a se

Re: SqLite to MySQL and back or ?

Typically what most do is issue a dump of the sql database. If it is not too large then this is workable. It produces a text file that can then be imported into other databases. But why not have your app access the mySQL database online to begin with? You would need to modify the table structu

Re: A Nit Nuisance

Hi Roger: What you're seeing is the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the player being swapped for some reason (seems like a bug in 4.6.4). If you set the width/height of the player to its formatted dimensions, you should be OK. set the width of player 1 to the formattedWidth of player 1 se

This is not a big deal but if anyone has a ready solution, I would appreciate it. Running 4.6.4 in Mac OS 10.7.2. As I am dragging a new Quicktime Player from the Toolbar to a stack, it appears to be square. But when it is dropped onto a stack it narrows down to 244 pixels in width and maintai

Re: Handling Long ID in Params?

Thanks Ken, you got me on the right path. I lost so many hours on this dumb thing, but I think it's a valid concept worth using. Again, the idea is to be able to execute any private command of a script using a single "router" command, with any number of parameters. The caveat, as Ken pointed out
