That's too bad. I briefly looked for an equivalent but couldn't find 
one. I did find this though, which applies to Linux-based systems:

I don't think you need any other software than Livecode if
RunRev GET A MOVE ON with HTML 5 . . .

. . . Then one should be able to make a virtual visit in exactly the same
way as I did with Hypercard in 1997 [and involving no more programming
than then] in Livecode and then export it as HTML 5 for rolling into a
website.

Come to think of things [ Richard Gaskin ] things have got AWFULLY QUIET
on the HTML 5 front recently 

A spot of where we are just now might not be a bad thing.

Re: Livecode 7 - Unicode - items not the same as pre-7?

2015-01-14 Thread kee nethery

To quote Gilda Radner’s Saturday Night Live character “Oh, nevermind.”

In my code I’m using the XML Xpath function to grab data out of a bunch of XML 
and insert it into items on a line. Problem is that the Xpath function either 
adds stuff to the end of the data it returns or that stuff is invisible when 
viewed in a browser. Either way, once I cleaned off characters from the Xpath 
function results, it did the right thing.

 In the pre-Unicode days, this code:

 with the blank spacing of a tab)
 
 tabtabtabjumbo
 
 In the Livecode 7 Unicode world, this is producing an output that looks like:

 tabjumbo
 
 In the IDE, when I use the magnify glass to examine theData, I can click in 
 “jumbo” and use the right arrow to go through theData but when I try to use 
 the left arrow to move back, it will move within “jumbo” but when it gets to 
 the left of “j” it halts. The left arrow ceases to move the insertion point.
 
 Why is each item on a separate line? How do I get Unicode Livecode to produce 
 the same output as pre-7?

Possible insanity, or is it LC 7.0.1?

I get true, as expected, but if I put

  put (1.884956 is a number)

put isNumber(tVar)

put 1.884956 into tVar

Re: How to solve can't find stack error

Would seem easy enough to test your theory. Insert the second line of code,
the one that reads the cprop, in a try statement. If it catches an error
wait 5 seconds (just to really test your theory) and issue the command
again. For those not having the problem they are not burdened with a wait,
those that are you'll soon know if it fixes the problem. If so you could
test various wait periods to see what is the shortest that consistently
solves the problem.

Thanks Mark.

What I mean is, if errors in the revxxx stack are ignored (I assume that
means runtime errors?), is there some other way that the stack can
determine that they happened so they can be handled more gracefully?  Kinda
like an error in a try/catch loop.

 is that this is just an abstraction of something that has arisen in the 
 middle of a loop that produces a table of values based on input parameters 
 which are all very similar: the loop suddenly hits an error only on this 
 particular value. It has worked in earlier versions of LC, but now I’m wedded 
 to Unicode, it’s got to work with LC 7.
 
 If I ever get an explanation, I’ll tell the list about it.

How to solve can't find stack error

2015-01-14 Thread tbodine

Hi all.

Looking for some insight here... I have a desktop program built in LC 6.5.1
that uses LC stacks as user files for storing user data in fields and
cprops. Mostly this works well. However, I get occasional Error Reports when
a few users have tried to reopen a file they created. Error type is Chunk:
can't find stack. I know the file exists because the user just picked it
with the answer file command.

The error occurs at a line where I first read a cprop from the stack. And
the line just prior to that loads the stack with go invisible to card 1 of
stack tFullFilePath

My theory is on some (slower?) machines the stack file is not entirely
loaded before the next line of my handler tries to read from it.

The error only happens to a few users, but tends to hit them repeatedly, and
I know one of them has an old machine. The typical stack file size is well
under 300k.

Does that theory sound feasible? I thought about inserting a wait for X ms
between the two lines of code, but I'd just be guessing at the duration.
Frankly, I've never understood the use of wait in LC... as it often seems
arbitrary. Feel free to school me on that or anything else!

Thanks for your thoughts.

Tom Bodine

Whereas these new Jersey's are gentle as lambs. Years ago we had one

How easy is this

You could patch the IDE. There's a handler in one of the frontscript
libraries (I forget the details off the top of my head) that
determines whether or not to pass the error on for handling.

Re: Possible insanity, or is it LC 7.0.1?

2015-01-14 Thread Peter W A Wood

I experimented a little further and found that, on my set up, I got the same 
results as Roger.

I ran this in the multi-line message box:

put version:  the version  return into tReport
put os:  the platform  the systemVersion  return after tReport
put isNumber(1.884956)  return after tReport
put 1.884956 into tVar
put Is tVar a number?  isNumber(tVar)  return after tReport 
put 1.884956 into tVar
put tVar / 1 into tVar2
put Is tVar a number?  isNumber(tVar)  return after tReport
put Is tVar2 a number?   isNumber(tVar2)  return after tReport
put tReport

These are the results:
version: 7.0.1
os: MacOS10.10.1
true
Is tVar a number? true
Is tVar a number? false
Is tVar2 a number? false

It seems dividing the number was sufficient to stop it being one!

From playing in the message box, I noticed that dividing 1.12345 by 1 results 
in a number but dividing 1.123456 doesn’t. If I remove the last digit from 
Graham’s magic 1.884956, the multiline script works correctly. So it would seem 
the problem is related to the number of significant digits. (If I change the 
number to 1.884955, the multiline script still gives incorrect results.)

Livecode 7 - Unicode - items not the same as pre-7?

2015-01-14 Thread kee nethery

In the pre-Unicode days, this code:

set the itemdelimiter to tab
put empty into theData
put “jumbo” into item 4 of theData

would produce something that looked like this (in your mind replace “tab” 
with the blank spacing of a tab)

tabtabtabjumbo

In the Livecode 7 Unicode world, this is producing an output that looks like:

tab

tab

tabjumbo

In the IDE, when I use the magnify glass to examine theData, I can click in 
“jumbo” and use the right arrow to go through theData but when I try to use the 
left arrow to move back, it will move within “jumbo” but when it gets to the 
left of “j” it halts. The left arrow ceases to move the insertion point.

Why is each item on a separate line? How do I get Unicode Livecode to produce 
the same output as pre-7?

Yeah. What Jacque said.
The downside of setting gRevDevelopment to true is that bugs in the
IDE stacks are no longer ignored.

How to show the Windows 8 on screen keyboard in LiveCode?

2015-01-14 Thread Ralf Bitter


Shouldn't the on screen keyboard of Windows 8 tablets pop up automatically
on touching a text input control?
A client who installed a standalone built with LiveCode 6.7.1 on a Toshiba 
tablet
reports that the soft keyboard doesn't show up tapping a text input field.

Thought that, as a workaround, one possibly could start the keyboard exe
using launch or shell() like:

launch C:/Program Files/Common Files/microsoft shared/ink/TabTip.exe
yields not opened

or

get shell(start C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\TabTip.exe)
yields The file C:/Program could not be found.

or

get shell(start tabtip.exe)
yields The file tabtip.exe could not be found.


Double checked the paths but all this fails, though start tabtip.exe definitely 
works from
the Windows command shell in contrast to
start C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\TabTip.exe.

So, how do others show the on screen keyboard on Windows 8 tablets from
LiveCode standalones? Any insights appreciated.

Re: Player object

Been searching for libITS without any luck.  The URL in some older forum
posts doesn't work any longer.  It's also on rev Online I believe however
rev Online seems to be broken - when I open it, it hangs with a message
retrieving stack data.

Anyone have another location to find it?

The simplest thing might be to temporarily rename your plugin without

Re: Debugging plugins

If I understand this correctly, if a stack name begins with rev and
gRevDevelopment is false, any runtime errors in it are ignored? That's any
stack, not just IDE stacks?

I don't suppose this would also enable some way to trap runtime errors and
report info about them, would it?

Hello,
I read in LiveCode 6.7.2-rc-1 Release Notes 1/8/15, page # 4 :

The Mac engine supports:
10.6.x (Snow Leopard) on Intel
10.7.x (Lion) on Intel
10.8.x (Mountain Lion) on Intel
10.9.x (Mavericks) on Intel

What about Yosemite ? No compatible ?
