iOS iPhone Retina splash image
Hi folks My iPhone app uses a 960x640 .png as the splash screen image. In the standalone settings, I have the status bar set to visible, and the status bar style to default. The image appears but after a second or two it suddenly stretches vertically. What am I doing wrong?

Debug problem
Solved part of my problem, I had left a little bit of code from setting up a Windows standalone which put /system/ into the global, deleted the code and it OK now but I still can't set the breakpoint to debug the stack. I think this happened once before and I found a execution error with a handler on another card. Is there an easy way to check where? Any other ideas?

Re: Sort of OT: mysql and select from two tables...?
Bit late to the game on this but it sounds like you need an option menu populated with the teacher names to allow the teachers to select themselves or another teacher. You'd need to keep track of the teacher_id for each option menu entry so you could grab it in a menuPick handler and use it in a SELECT statement to find all the students with the teacher's ID. Pete Haworth On Mar 16, 2011, at 12:15 PM, John Patten wrote: Hi All... Thanks for the previous help on the on-rev php/mysql question. I have a question about the mysql select command, session_register, and selecting from two tables. I have one database with two tables. The tables are teacher_user and student_user. Each table has a unique teacher-id stored in a fields. So students with the teacher_id value of 0001 stored in their student_user record all belong to the same teacher. Teacher_tableStudent_table id - 0001 teacher_id = 0001 first first last last title grade I also have the teacher login with their username and password comparing what is stored in their db record for username and password. If they match, then their username and password is then session_register(username); session_register(password); . What i would like to be able to do is query the database and return a list of students to the individual teacher based on some unique information about the teacher's record, say their username. is there some way I can get at the session_register(username) and use it in my select query? Something like: select username from teacher_table and put id of table teacher_table into tTeacher_id then select tTeacher_id from student_table and loop through the student printing each record I suppose if the teacher new their id value I could just have them type that into a form and do a simple query the student_table and teacher_id field by that id value. But I was trying to make it a little more automatic and did not want teachers trying to guess other teachers' ids. Thanks in advance!

Re: SQL and other databases
So, I am really interested to know why so many folk seem interested in using Livecode to write database front-ends rather than using Livecode for the database as such. 1. We already have a multiuser database and several other light client systems that access it via web browsers. I have a heavy client in Livecode that we use internally to access and manipulate the data in ways that would be difficult in a browser. 2. If I anticipated 10 records, a real SQL database is probably going to be faster as the database grows. 3. If I anticipated the need to do joins between multiple tables, a real SQL query mechanism is probably going to be faster than Livecode. For example: imagine four stacks; one with product records, one with customer records, one with transaction records, one that ties countries to areas. Now envision selecting all transactions by customers who live in europe that contain products that are blue. In Livecode you could grab a list of all products that are blue, then see what transactions contain those products. Grab a list of countries that are in europe. For that list of transactions, look up every customer to see what country they live in. Toss out transactions from countries that are not in Europe. A SQL database does this very quickly. Livecode could do this but wow it would probably take a long time. Those are three reasons I would not use Livecode as the database.

Re: URLencode bug?
The project, called revShare, was commissioned by David Johnson, and as such, is his property. You may try and contact him directly to find out more. At the time it was created, things worked by updating changes via FTP to a server and reading them via HTTP. The idea was it should be able to accomodate synchronous and asynchronous communications. So, if someone made a change to a stack they were sharing with you, yours would update as soon as you came online, no matter if they were online or not. Sort of a cloud based stack sharing system.

Re: iOS iPhone Retina splash image
Tom Or is this the Apple start up splash image that gets bundled with the app? It's the Apple startup splash, as specified in the app settings window. When you run it in the emulator is the Status Bar visible? Not the setting in the Standalone Settings but the actual Status Bar? The status bar cuts in after the splash image shows, and just after the image stretches. This app is only for use in portrait orientation. Gerry I code the status bar myself after one time setting it in the Standalone settings and then it not working. After that I always code it myself. If this is the problem then the screen should only stretch by 40 pixels. The 960x640 is the right size for a horizontal view. With the Status Bar it would be 960x600 since the the iPhoneRetina is 2x the size. Dd you want the app to launch horizontal? If not then the size would be 640x960. Or is this the Apple start up splash image that gets bundled with the app? Or if this is in your app then do you/ are you using a resizeStack handler? Two resize stack handlers?

bullet chars in Linux?
On Mac and Win, using $#149; in htmlText produces a bullet char. In Linux, however, that gets rendered as a non-renderable character (the rectangle with numbers in it in Ubuntu). When I paste a block of text that has a bullet in it into a field and get the htmlText, the bullet is shown to be #8226; - BUT - When I set the htmlText of a field to a string which contains #8226; it gets rendered as a double-quote char. Whiskey tango? How do I get bullet chars in Linux, and why would reading htmlText behave so differently from setting it? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com LiveCode Journal blog: http://LiveCodejournal.com/blog.irv ___ 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: combobox
On 21/03/11 9:47 AM, Kee Nethery k...@kagi.com wrote: OK, comboboxes appear to be rather complicated and I'm stumped. As a user types into a combobox I use on rawKeyUp keyCode to notice that a new character has been added to the combobox. I then do a database search to see all the data that matches the characters currently in the combobox. I then replace all the data in the combobox with the data returned from the database. This puts the first alphabetical value as the combobox label (or whatever that is referred to). This all works fine. The thing I want to do next is to select the characters after what the user actually typed in the ?label? of the combobox so that the next character they type replaces all those. For example: user types: joe script returns joebill joebob joemammy joemomma The value displayed in the combobox is now joebill and what I want selected in the combobox is bill (if capital letters signify a selection ...) joeBILL so that if the user types m the combobox the script is now going to display joemAMMY and the selections presented will just be joemammy joemomma what script would select some of the characters within joemammy like for example characters ammy (aka characters 5 to 8)? Hi Kee, It seems like you need to target field 0 of the control so I'd... 1. get the length of line 1 of the text of the control (tLength) 2. update the control's text as you are already doing 3. do something like select char tLength+1 to -1 of fld 0 of me Hopefully that will work Terry...

Dial with USB modem
Back in the days when I was using a serial modem, I developed several stacks which included dialing phone numbers using write to file modem. How might Revolution write to a built in USB modem on a Mac G4 to dial phone numbers as is done in apps such as ABDialer and Dialetic? thanks, Philip Usher ___ 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
Loading files in iPad
I'm trying to get my app into iPad using revMobil. I load the plugin, put the folder of files into the directory but when the app comes up in the simulator none of the files are accessed. The buttons all work and the text not accessed by files show, but none of the images,audio or text files are found. It acts like they are not loaded in the IOS. The app loads successfully in the standalone. The documents mention using the specialFolderPath but I'm not sure how to use it to get the files loaded.
