Re: Scripting Calendars tutorial stack
John, If the file is not saving to your Downloads folder, you could try (Win) Right-Click on the link and choose Save Target As… or (Mac) Ctrl-Click the link and choose Save Linked File As…, then you should have full control over where the file is downloaded to.

Scripting Calendars tutorial stack
LiveCoders, I just uploaded a tutorial stack to RevOnline/Sample Stacks that shows how to script popular calendar applications Apple’s Calendar and Microsoft’s Outlook on the Macintosh using AppleScript. I couldn’t find a simple way to do this so I created one. As you can see if you look at the stack the amount of code is really very little Create new event Modify the event Delete the event The information, AppleScripts, and LiveCode code and stack are free to use. I invite others to contribute with other calendar applications and platforms. Thanks to Zryip theSlug for contributing the initial Outlook for Macintosh code.

Thanks, Paul! I didn’t know that. Now I have a bunch of files to save.

Movie Problems in LiveCode
Thanks to Richard Gaskin and Jacqueline Gay for their thoughts on the current problem in creating standalones with referenced QT movies using LiveCode 6-7 on Mac. Richard and Jacqueline have through the years been helpful and generous in providing their expertise. Here is a summary of what I find with trying to create standalones with referenced QT movies: CREATING REFERENCED MOVIES USING LC ON MACINTOSH: 1. LiveCode 5 will show referenced Quicktime movies, including the ability to maintain relative paths in the LC movie player, so that the standalone can be distributed to other computers, whether Mac or Windows. 2. LC versions 6 and above, however, will not allow relative paths, when creating with Mac. E.g. consider this hierarchy in a Mac stack that you want to convert to a standalone for distribution: FOLDER MyMainstack.rev MEDIA MyMovie.mov If you want to refer to the movie in the LC Quicktime player, with the idea of creating a standalone for distribution to other platforms, you would want to change the movie player’s absolute path to a relative path: Media/MyMovie.mov However LC versions on Mac above LC 5 will not allow this. There, if you open the LC movie player and change the absolute path in the LC movie player to the relative path in the filename field, then close the Property Inspector and immediately open it up again, you will find that LC has reverted to the absolute path! Thus, you can’t create a standalone with a referenced QT movie for distribution in the LC 6-7 series, since the movie path always resets the relative path to an absolute path. This problem is not resolved by unchecking “Always use absolute file paths for images” in the LC Preferences, or by putting the relative path into the “non-stack files” section of the Copy files sections of the Standalone Application Settings, or by setting the DontUseQT global property to false. I also don’t see how setting the defaultFolder to the Documents folder would help in this situation either, where a person to whom the standalone is distributed would be unlikely to use the Documents folder. THE BOTTOM LINE: To created standalones with referenced movies on the Mac for distribution, you would do best, until the LiveCode team resolves the problem, to use a LC version not greater than 5. CREATING REFERENCED MOVIES USING LC ON WINDOWS: On Windows, LiveCode version 7.0 WILL maintain the relative path in its stacks and standalones, so you could create the standalone on Windows with LC 5 and transfer the standalone to a Mac, where the movie will play.

Or you could just include a line of script that sets the filename of the movie in a preOpenCard handler. That's what I usually do and why I've never noticed any problems. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ 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
