Are iOS push notifications needed for this use case?
Hi folks, I'm considering LiveCode for an iOS app but I think I need push notification support. The use case is to alert users of app-specific messages waiting (even when the application is not active) and set the little 'messages waiting' counter on the app's icon. I'm looking for on-device behaviour much like with the Mail app. Is this use case supportable with LiveCode as-is or do I need to look elsewhere unless/until RunRev implement support for push notifications?

Hi Nicolas, I went through the Sara's Stacks: BarcodeTester A very simple stack that reads data from a keyboard wedge barcode scanner.

You will need a Code128 font to display and print the codes when generated. There are plenty available but I use Riversedge fonts.

And look at some of the apps. But I hope other people will do those things too. When asking the question what can you achieve with the current state of LiveCode for mobile? these published apps represent real data points - they may not show everything that can be achieved, they may not show how much pain and sweat was required; but they represent some indisputable evidence to put alongside the documentation. *Even longer answer* To be very explicit: my company have put something over a dozen apps into the iOS store (mostly for clients, not under our own name). None of those were built with LiveCode, they're all in Objective-C (with our own framework that we've invested heavily in). Some are trivial, but some are really substantial commercial projects, for clients with a massive reputation to defend. We've used LiveCode for prototyping elements of some of these; and for a commissioned proof of concept for a client, that was never intended for publishing; but never for anything that went beyond that. We're getting (some, not many) requests for projects to be delivered on both iOS and Android; it's going to be expensive to port our framework to Android. We're interested in whether to use LiveCode for a complete app project; but nervous about whether (a) the fit and finish will be adequate, compared with a project in native code where we can always access the native controls; (b) about hitting a roadblock or serious bug, which we can't get past because we can't go to native code. To date these fears (along with other issues) have stopped us deciding to commit to LiveCode for any projects, even when with a following wind doing so should allow us to build the app a lot cheaper; and in some cases have led to us turning down a project that would be possible within the constraints only by using LiveCode; because once we commit to the client that we'll produce an app, in a given timeframe, we want to be in control of our own destiny in terms of being able to meet that commitment. To defend our own reputation, we'd rather turn down the work than take it on and find that we can't deliver. In this respect, being able to look at apps that others have successfully completed may help alleviate some of those fears. So I want to see some apps that other people have created using LiveCode; I can't find a list anywhere; so I decided to try compiling one.

Re: Confirming an FTP Upload
Just a method to get the uploads (and exposed password/user) to a place that isn't your public website. Most web providers will allow unlimited or many FTP accounts, and you can use completely different user/passwords. Some providers (not On-Rev) will allow an account to have multiple users that can own websites and/or ftp sites. Then I give that site a sub-domain name and use that for uploads. There are also ways to do uploads safely that involve using server-side PHP or Livecode solutions which have been discussed here before. Many examples abound for that.

Re: Tab Order Property?
Good points. But the selectedObjects will contain a list of objects in the order they were selected (very dammed handy), not in the order they appear on the screen, nor the order they were in before calling the command. So by selecting objects in the order you want them to be, calling this command will order them properly, and at the topmost layer, preventing me from burying them behind other objects. Also I discovered a bit of a flaw in my code. If I click on a field that is a part of a group then I will likely throw an error, because you cannot set a fields layer to something higher than the layer of the highest layered object in the group. In other words, you have to change the layer of the entire group, not just the field itself. Hence the following update: on clickOrder put the selectedobjects into theObjectList repeat for each line theObject in theObjectList if of group is in theObject then put wordoffset(group, theObject) into firstWord put word firstWord to -1 of theObject into theNewObject set the layer of theNewObject to top else set the layer of theObject to top end if end repeat end clickOrder On Dec 6, 2011, at 12:09 PM, Mark Wieder wrote: Bob Sneidar bobs@... writes: Belay my last.

Re: Set the color of text for a disabled field
If you set the foregroundColor of text, that color persists after disabling. Is this what you meant?

clone problem
Hell All, I have a script that does not always work as expected. From the student's point of the view, the script allows them to click and drag an alphabet letter for release onto a writing area. That way, there's two images visible : the image they clicked on originally apparently at its original location, and the new image apparently now in the new location. The problem visually is that it seems like the original image becomes draggable, and the cloned image gets left behind. What the script is actually doing in the background is on mouseDown the original image is cloned, the clone gets the original image's name, and the original image gets a new name. Similarly, their layering is switched too. That was the only way I could think of to allow an image to become draggable and cloned at the same time, i.e., without mouseUp Also, instead of mouseDown, I'm using AnimationEngine's constrainRectangularInit. The problem with my script is that sometimes the image that's supposed to stay in place becomes the image that's supposed to be draggable. I assume the problem happens in the renaming my script does. Here is the actual script: on constrainRectangularInit deleteClonedHilites -- deletes unneeded graphic objects put the short name of me into tGrabbedImg if _ is not among the chars of tGrabbedImg then ## the char _ is added by my script when renaming clone invisible image tGrabbedImg put word 3 of it into tNewImgID put tGrabbedImg _ the milliseconds into tNewImgName set the name of me to tNewImgName put the cpCloned_Letters of this card into tTemp put tNewImgName cr after tTemp set the cpCloned_Letters of this card to tTemp set the name of image id tNewImgID to tGrabbedImg set the loc of image id tNewImgID to the loc of me set the layer of image id tNewImgID to the layer of me show image id tNewImgID end if set the layer of me to top put item 1 of the clickLoc into sX put the milliseconds into sLastTime put true into sMove play letter_pickup.au end constrainRectangularInit If anyone understands and can help, I'd much appreciate it.

Autotab has always used the layering number to determine the next field, so you can use that with confidence. It's not a bug, it is designed behavior.

Re: autoTab affects automatic text selection?
Aye but we were talking about the fact that text will either be entirely selected or else the cursor will be placed at the beginning of the text, depending on the setting of autoTab. Apparently it controls more than just tabbing to the next field if a user hits return. It's actually way cooler than trying to kludge a way for text to be selected yourself, if that is what you want.

Re: Are iOS push notifications needed for this use case?
Keith, The one that I am looking into is Urban Airship http://urbanairship.com/pricing/ but it is not free but does cover iOS Android and Blackberry… Basic Free is a pay per message version that I am looking into.

Re: Mobile devices and barcodes
Hi Nicolas, I went through the Sara's Stacks: BarcodeTester A very simple stack that reads data from a keyboard wedge barcode scanner. It allows you to check the raw data transmitted by the scanner as well as the ASCII data. Category: UtilityLast Updated: Wed, Apr 29, 2009 Barcodes A utility that converts text into the ASCII codes to generate Code128 subset A barcodes. You will need a Code128 font to display and print the codes when generated. There are plenty available but I use Riversedge fonts. Actually what I am looking for is a piece of software to scan the image (from the camera) of a barcode and import the barcode data into an iOS application. All the best, Paolo ___ 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
