Yes. You can assign it, but it does nothing.

Thanks Mark.  So it sounds like I could use the Post command along with
libURLFormData to send off the URL and then check the it variable to get
whatever comes back.

After some difficulty, I've been able to get Quit to work, but the

I don't wish to 'add the straw' on what clearly is a very large
undertaking, but from a recent thread here I would suggest a topic on
unicode and char sets. For anyone new to DBs, not just LC + DBs,
understanding what char set an old DB is using, or what char set to create
a new DB in and how to handle all the situations in between is a hurdle
that has to be crossed particularly if their intended stack is to be
cross-platform. Maybe:

XVIII. Handling Cross-Platform and non-ASCII characters

Good luck and look forward to it's completion.

Re: Vector Images and the SVGL stack

[Alejandro Tejada]

Hi All,

Just an update. I am building and testing a new parser (or importer)
for SVG files based in SVGL and new scripts to import gradients
that I used in the attached livecode stack inside a zip file.

This new svg parser (not available yet) will be more flexible 
about the expected SVG structure. After analizing and testing 
many SVG files generated by different applications, I noticed 
that a better strategy is to parse and validate whole tags, 
before creating graphics in the stack:


... followed by unpredictable/correct/wrong 
... content that needs validation...
 or maybe just this closing mark />

In the attached zip file, that you could download from:
http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=10=25612
I have included 4 small svg files with the stack
inside the Zip file. Import these small svg files
in first place.

Have a nice weekend!

Al

HTML5 licensing [was: Re: Indy doubles in price because of HTML5 export ?]

[Peter TB Brett]

Hi Rolf,

On 06/11/2015 09:23, Rolf Kocherhans wrote:

Do I read and interpret your announcement (Fireworks for HTML5) correctly ?

There are now two Indy license types, one with HTML5 and one without ?


There is only one Indy license type.  It costs $499 per year, and allows 
you to deploy proprietary ("closed-source") apps to Mac OS X, Linux, 
Windows, iOS and Android.


Optionally, customers can add on the ability to deploy to HTML5, for an 
extra $499 per year.



I had a (what was called Enterprise License) for many, many years with all
Deployment options intakt - this recently got converted to an Indy License.

You recently also introduced a new Business version which is very expensive.

Now you have an another new License type called "Indy - All Platforms“ for 998$


Once again, "Indy - All Platforms" is not a "new License type".  It's 
just the same Indy license, but with the HTML5 deployment option included.



What was once ease becomes complicated, and expensive.

I can’t afford to by Indy for all platforms at this price - sorry !

To double the price „if I read your announcement correctly“ seems to 
unreasonable to me.


HTML5 is a *very* different platform to any of the other ones that 
supported by LiveCode, and it is particularly challenging to maintain 
the HTML5 engine in ways that the other platforms are not.  iOS is a 
continually-moving target, but HTML5 is even more so -- iOS gets updated 
every few months, but web browsers get updated on a *weekly* basis.


Accordingly, commercial HTML5 deployment licenses cost extra, *exactly 
as we always promised*.  The crowdfunding campaign was quite clear about 
this:


"The commercial license for HTML5 will be priced the same as the current 
license pricing to build apps.


"It will be an entirely separate license.

"This output platform provides significant additional value for our 
customers and will require its own engineering team and ongoing 
maintenance thus the separate license."



Luckily I was a founder of the HTML5 feature - I hope that this qualifies me to 
get
HTML5 export with my current Indy licence for ever, or does it not ?


You pledged $99 to the "LiveCode To HTML5" campaign, which entitles you 
to a 3-month commercial HTML5 deployment license with a start date of 
your choosing.  We will be setting up a system that will let you to 
choose the start date of your license via your account page on the 
LiveCode website, and you'll get an e-mail when that's live.

Re: Indy doubles in price because of HTML5 export ?

[Matthias Rebbe | M-R-D]

It was stated before by Livecode/Runrev that HTML5 will be an extra for which 
you have to pay.

I had also an Enterprise license and if i remember right only Win/Mac/Linux 
deployment was included.
Mobile deployment and Livecode server were extras for which one had to pay for.

What i definitely know is, that the Lifetime Commercial License(now special 
Indy License without revenue limit) from the first Kickstarter campaign(the 
open source campaign) includes
all existing and all future platforms. So HTML5 is definitely included in that 
license.

Yes, that's absolutely correct.

Note that you might need to reactivate LiveCode in order for HTML5 
deployment entitlement to show up in the IDE.  If you're a lifetime 
license holder and your HTML5 entitlement doesn't appear within the next 
few days, please get in touch with the LiveCode support team

I agree that working with Multimedia in Livecode recently has been a struggle.  
That is why I was reluctant to contribute to the 64-Bit Feature Exchange.  I 
just hope that the period we will have to suffer through between the time they 
remove multimedia support and when they put it back in is short.

Re: OT: Announce -- Himalayan Academy's First LiveCode Mobile App is Up

[Brahmanathaswami]

Alejandro:

Did you download the app from the Google Play... you can see it, better 
than screen shots.


How does it work?  Except for one item... design to run without internet 
access.


Quite simple really

gurudeva.livecode (app)

cd 1 - splash screen with rotating gear GIF
cd 2 - "main-card" shows photos... random selection, gets quotes, random 
selection
cd 3-4 - img resources, not shown to user... all icon etc we apply to 
buttons
cd 5 "Reader Card" single text field dynamically loads sets of quotes or 
html files, search results
cd 6 Other options card: a basic navigation screen to the other 
"features" text, read quotes by category.
cd 7 audio card: buttons for 8 audio, a player object, and a "surprise 
Me" button that fetches a random audio from our server.


   /data

  / * a few static html files here: biography.html, 
about-this-app.html, help.html, release-notes.html
  / gurudeva-quotes.txt # 670K file with unicode, one quote per 
line, separated by "pipes" with tabs and assigned categories  in item 3 
of each line ~2570 quotes/lines


 /img

  /gurudeva

   # ~ 270 images (jpg) optimized with imageMagic and mozcjpeg. 
uncropped (most are bigger than screen rect)


  /audio
8 .mp3 files packaged with the app
audio.json  has the metadata for the 8 audio files.

That's it --  very simple.

 Had it not been for all the bugs we uncovered (media display on 
Android mostly) it would have been done even sooner.







Could you post screenshots and explain us how this app works? I am sure that
your experience could be really helpful for many of us, LiveCode developers.

Alejandro

Livecode REST Server

How do I set the httpheaders for a server side script written in Livecode -
that is before using "put" to send data back to the server. set the

Problem reading 'inbox' (launched-with) files on iOS 5.1?

[Ben Rubinstein]

I'm developing an iOS app that accepts files from other apps.  When it 
receives the 'urlWakeUp' message with a suitable URL, it reads in the file, 
checks it's the right kind of file, and then stores it in the user data folder 
for subsequent viewing.


This works fine on my iPhone 4s under iOS 8.4; and on an iPad 2 under iOS 
7.1.1; but on an iPad 1 under iOS 5.1.1, it fails.


Specifically, attempting to load the data using
  put URL tSrcURL into tData

yields empty and the result is "can't open file".

The app can list the 'Inbox' folder and see the details of the incoming files, 
complete with their size etc; but can't read them.


Was there a known issue in relation to iOS 5.1?  Is there a workaround?

Many thanks,

Ben

Hi,

Try

on mouseUp
   set the filename of player "myplayer" to "/Users/klaus/Movies/IMG_0008.mp4"
   play player "myplayer"
end mouseUp

Have a look at *player* and *videoClip* in the dictionary.

Also applies to LC 7x and LC 8x.

Re: play vc xyz, still stuck in the 80s?

Hi Klaus,

Indeed, the play audioClip/videoClip command is a bit outdated. These
commands will be updated when we redo multimedia on all platforms. However,
we'll have a look at this bug to try at least get functionality back to
where it was pre-6.7.

Best,
Panos

To be clear:  thesis not on ode execution, compiling, or even saving.

This happens when I change a few characters in a script.

For example, I cut three lines, paste them in a different section, and
before it reformats them to the new indentation, it simply heads off to
la-la land with the beachball for several seconds

Re: garbage collection run amok again in 7.1.1Rc2?

[Mike Bonner]

I've seen similar, to the point where keystrokes are dropped in the script
editor, and I must type RELY slow to get things going.  Unfortunately,
while it happens often enough to notice, I haven't managed to nail down a
recipe.  Sometimes it goes away when I shut the dictionary, other times I
turn off messages for a moment (as if there was a runaway handler, that
wasn't actually cpu locking, but was close..)  Mostly in various 7
versions, once or twice in 8.

How to interface with third party API using URLs

[Peter Haworth]

I'm working on a project that requires I learn about using URLs to
interface to a third party API.  I have been given php code that does what
I need so I could just execute the php scrips from LC and grab the output.
But should I ever need to make changes to the php code, I wouldn't know
where to start so would prefer to implement this with Livecode.

I have all the necessary URLs and they return "a REST-compliant XML feed" .
Can someone point me to a lesson of some sort that would point me in the
right direction?

Overriding system shortcuts in OSX

[Howard Bornstein]

I want to command-H for a menu item in my standalone, but it doesn't work
because the system uses command-H for Hide Application. Even though I've
assigned this shortcut to a menu item, it is ignored and the system command
is used instead.

It seems like this should be simple but I can't figure out how to get
around this problem. Is there a way to override system shortcuts in an OSX
standalone application?

For simple REST services you can probably get by with GET and POST. For 
anything more robust I shell out to httpie. And for testing REST 
functions, the Postman plugin/app for Chrome is great.
