Simple play videoclip question

[Peter Bogdanoff]

I'm doing this:

In a card script:

on openCard
   play videoclip "NWOpen.mov" at 400,300
   pass openCard
end openCard

on closeCard
   stop playing videoclip "NWOpen.mov"
   pass closeCard
end closeCard

The closeCard does not stop the videoclip. The closeCard message is received by 
this closeCard handler. ???

Also, when I do stop it, does it disappear?

revpdfprinter + RevServer?

[Richard Gaskin]

Does LC's revpdfprinter work with RevServer?

I would guess the answer is "no" since CGIs have no graphics 
environment, but it would be way cool if I could generate custom PDFs 
from card layouts on the server.

Re: Splash at the launching on android

[Takashi Yoshino]

Thank you, Ralph!

You script is very helpful for me.
I can show my splash screen at the launch time.

Thank you so much.

The following is the my script.
--
on OpenStack
   send "startMyStack" to me in 1 ticks
   pass OpenStack
end OpenStack

on startMyStack
   if the environment = "Mobile" 
   then
  if there is a file (engine folder & slash & "MyStack.livecode")
  then
 start using stack (engine folder & slash & "MyStack.livecode")
 go to stack "MyFirstStack"
  end if
   end if
end startMyStack

I prepare two LiveCode files, SplashScreen.livecode and MyStack.livecode.

SplashScreen.livecode is main stack.
MyStack.livecode has included by Copy files in Standalone application setting.

I wrote the above script in SplashScreen.livecode at the stack script.

Re: FYI: Mac trojan horse

[Peter M. Brigham, MD]

Right. I already had put a little addition similar to this in my frontscript 
openstack handler so that every time I open a stack it tests for the presence 
of *.so files and, if found, sends me to the website for the instructions on 
how to delete the thing. Obviously, I open stacks constantly during the day 
(and night!), and that way I don't have to remember to check, which I would 
rapidly forget to do. As one of my patients said to me once, I have a mind like 
a steel sieve.

This is the first time in a long time I've even had to *think* about malware. 
Now that I've automated it, I don't have to think about it any more. At least 
until something new comes along.

Re: FYI: Mac trojan horse

Hi,

Always when I read such articles, I can't help thinking that the antivirus 
software publishers have the most interest in the creation of such viruses. 
From the website: "You won’t be surprised to learn that Intego’s own 
VirusBarrier X6 software can detect Flashback if it’s installed, and even 
prevent it from installing in the first place." Doh. Also, this trojan only 
installs itself if... when... again if... and only if 

According to that website, this is how you can check for the trojan:

function virusCheck
 put "ls /Users/Shared/.*.so" into myShell
 return not (shell(myShell) contains "No such file or directory")
end virusCheck

The function returns true if the trojan is on your machine.

Re: [OT] HyperCard and the Interactive Web

[Bob Sneidar]

ALL technology/ tools are a "crutch" in some sense. It's just that with simple 
tools we don't give up much in the way of understanding to use them, in fact we 
may even understand things better. Also, without certain tools, some things 
become impossible to accomplish. The real question is where along the line of 
advancing technology do we begin to trade understanding for ease of use. 

I say that nothing is free. You always trade one thing for another, and in the 
case of technology, we seem to be willing to trade pains we were made to cope 
with for pains we were not. At the root of it all is the reprehensible notion 
that "newer" ALWAYS means "better". It's why some can use the word "change" and 
almost everyone not trained to think things through hear "change for the 
better".

My oinion is that at 18, all kids should be put through some kind of boot camp 
like training, just so that they can learn how to do exactly what they are 
told, no more, no less, in spite of what everyone else around them does. That 
would go a LONG way towards their future education in anything. I am still met 
with unbelief when I tell people that my first days in boot camp involved 
obeying simple orders like left face, and that more than half the squad got it 
wrong almost every time! Once one person does it wrong, others see them doing 
something other than what they themselves did, and they start second guessing 
themselves. Not wanting to be "different" they change their minds even though 
they know it to be the wrong thing!

iPhonePickMedia .m4p

[Todd Little]

Dear All,

We've encountered an issue with using iPhonePickMedia. We can play
purchased iTunes songs great except when we play a .m4p (FairPlay) song and
it promptly quits the app with no warning.
We've tried to intercept the result that contains a ".m4p" extension, but
it still quits.

We've submitted the iOS app for review and were rejected because in our
metadata, we stated that we had known issues that the app would quit when
using .m4p files.

Has anyone else had similar issues or have recommendations?

I absolutely agree, and it is because I agree that I think that when it comes 
down to the command line or Bleak House, the command line should go.

I don't think we need to worry about that. Those who want to lighten 
their In Box and enjoy platform-specific discussion will find the forums 
an excellent choice.


LiveCode supports so many platforms it's rare that everything it can do 
will appeal to any single developer.  Still, much to be learned from 
every supported platform, and this list is an excellent venue for such 
learning.

When that day comes it seems you'll be in good hands:  While the nearest 
Ubuntu group is more than four hours from you in Paris, there's a Linux 
user group right in Toulouse which seems very friendly and welcoming of 
newcomers:




Linux is just another OS in a world where such things are becoming 
increasingly commoditized so it barely matters which one you use, esp. 
for us LiveCoders who've been making Windows apps on Macs for so many years.


But the secret charm with Linux is the people.  As I've written before, 
there's something quite nice about a group of people who get together 
for the primary purpose of freely sharing things.


If you make it to any local LUG meetings I'd be surprised if you didn't 
walk away with a few new friends.  Extra bonus points that you'll 
probably find Linux a lot of fun to play with as well.  :)

RE: Splash at the launching on android

[Ralph DiMola]

T,

I think you correct. I tried to add my library stack as a stack to be
included in the standalone setting and it was not available. I had to
include it as a copy file in standalone setting and do this in the
preopenstack





if the environment = "Mobile" then

  if there is a file (engine folder & slash & "My_Library.livecode")
then

 start using stack (engine folder & slash & "My_Library.livecode")

  end if

   end if


*

I don't know if this will help you. This was the only way I could use my
library on mobile.

Too bad...

That did it for the POP accounts -- but no cure (or so little) for the

The accounts are not completely blocked, some work, other not...

Re: Advantages of LC as high level language--examples

[Bernard Devlin]

Sorry to resurrect a threat that lived so long ago, but I thought this
study might be of use to Devin (although it is not specifically
focusing on Livecode, it does contrast the productivity of  scripting
languages with compiled languages).

http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/prechelt/Biblio/jccpprtTR.pdf

Since the report is from an academic enviornment, it might be quite
appropriate for Devin's students.

Re: Automating Javascript Web Form Input

[Kay C Lan]

Dave,

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Absolutely brilliant.

Took me about 10 min to sort out - would have taken 5 sec if I knew what I
was doing.

Had a little trouble with a '500' error message from the server, but once I
actually bothered to look at your code and check the dictionary for stuff I
didn't understand, I realised I had to set the httpHeaders to empty before
I did my straight put URL fileToDownload.

I probably should delve a little deeper into all the libURL stuff, but that
would be sensible.

A little knowledge is dangerous, so I'm good to go ;-)

And if I didn't say it... thank you!

Make a separate stack containing only the splash image (so it loads
quickly), and from there, lock screen so the splash remains, and go to the
larger stack, then unlock screen.

I just took a look at the resulting text file. It was full of "weird stuff" and 
no readable text. I'm not sure what that signifies. The pdf file I sent 
consisted mainly of formatted text. I hope you have better luck.

You'll need to use libURLMultipartFormData for this. Try something like this:

on mouseUp
   
   answer file ""  ## select the pdf file
   put it into tFilePath
   if tFilePath is empty then exit mouseUp
   
   put "http://www.fileformat.info/convert/doc/pdf2txt.htm"; into tUrl
   
   put empty into tForm
   put "" & tFilePath into tFile
   
   if libURLMultipartFormData(tForm, "stdin", tFile) is not empty then
  answer it ##error
   else
  set the httpHeaders to line 1 of tForm
  post line 2 to -1 of tForm to url tUrl
  put it into field 1 -- or whatever
  if the result is not empty then
 answer the result
  end if
  set the httpHeaders to empty
   end if
end mouseUp

I tried it and it seems to work, but it returns an html page from which you 
need to extract the url which will download the text file.

Cheers
Dave

There's a world of difference between "Kids today" and "computer

programmers to use a command line because of the .1% who will is like
forcing every kid to butcher a hog before they are allowed to eat bacon.


"Kids today" is the phrase used in Britain to justify NOT teaching 
literature written before 1945, history before 1914,

and the general dumbing down of most things.

Apart from any other considerations, while slide-rules  and command 
lines may not be all that useful nowadays


[mind you, you'd be hard put to quite a few things on a computer without

we should think about what the words "cultured" and "educated" mean. If

saying that
