Re: Augmented reality with LiveCode ?
Hi. Did I hear you say you were a Director user? (I think I recognise your name for Direct-L list). You can do this type of AR in Director using a Flash object to handle video input and map a 3d object into a scene using Valentin's AR library. I've only messed with the demos - never done anything to ship. New iOS export in v12 should be able to handle the Xtras - no 3rd party. But a common approach is Unity - should be lots of examples. But you'll need an iOS export license.

LC 5.5.5 and Android test - broken...
Hi. Another observation. The 5.5.5 update for commercial version to resolve iOS submission problem seems unable to build a test deployment for Android. Works fine 5.5.4. I have hardware connected via USB, recognised as a Test Target in Development, builds, tries to launch on hardware, and fails (returns to desktop). Same for any phone I try. Annoying that something in Android has become broken in the updating from 5.5.4 to 5.5.5.

Re: [OT] What's happening here in Turkey...
I just deleted an almighty response after remembering that I was to beware the troll. Instead, I'd like to consider the interesting cultural phenomenon of 'internet gentlemanly language eccentricity'. It's something I am witnessing more an more, every day. The basic gist is that many people seem to be using a heady mixture of Victorian English crossed with medievalism - Doctor Who-style. What I am encountering is lots of expressions like 'methinks', 'jolly good', 'good sir', 'spiffing', 'kind gentleman' etc. etc. It's rife and viral. It runs in parallel with the fashion for beards, brogue shoes, flicky public-school haircuts, tweed, and names that sound like parts of middle England. It's like Monty Python meets Blackadder. And it must be stopped. Clearly not as disturbing as what is happening in Turkey and the responses of certain LC list members methinks. ___ 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

Re: Android custom fonts in web scroller native control...
Hi Ralph. I have a Media folder which contains all assets including fonts. This folder is included in standalone settings. It works under iOS - the Livecode UI displays fonts and native web scroller using CSS displays fonts. In Android, fonts appear in UI but not in scroller. I think this is to do with the path I have set up in the CSS - it works differently on different platforms. I think I need to make the path to the fonts relative to the temp HTML file I am writing out - I can't test until Monday though. Thanks for your advice - will feed back any results.

Android custom fonts in web scroller native control...
Hi all.
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've posted this (and
other Android-related issues) to the Android forum, but no replies and I can't
seem to resolve it or find out any more info.
I am porting an iOS app to Android. I have many issues (of course). The first
of these is the use of custom fonts in HTML used in a web scroller native
control. I have successfully embedded the font in the app - it is .ttf - and it
displays properly when used in the Livecode UI I have set up. Only in the web
scroller does it fail.
Of course it works fine in iOS (sigh). I have tried the following in the styles
in the HTML:
@font-face
{
font-family: GROBOLD;
src: url('fonts/GROBOLD.ttf');
}
... but fails too. It seems I have a pathname issue with Android. I'm using
specialFolderPath(engine) eg.:
put (specialFolderPath(engine) slash Media/footer.png) into tImageURL
put pimg src = QUOTE tImageURLQUOTE width =
QUOTE50QUOTE/p into tS
... but this fails to display too, so the pathname is wrong. I don't
understand! I notice from the Android .apk file structure that all my assets
(including fonts) are contained in a folder called 'assets' - which doesn't
exist in the iOS .app file, but adding this to the URL fails too.
Can anyone elucidate?
Kind regards, Paul.

What about Director (cue sound of crickets...)? ;-) Diss Adobe but not the venerable Director :-) Adobe had an opportunity to make Director the industry standard creative multimedia authoring tool (as it used to be), but through lumbering monolithic bureaucracy so far have failed to do so. I can have a multi-display, cross-platform real time interactive 3D application with Ageia physics built and deployed in 15 mins using Director. No other tool out there comes close to Director in being able to rapidly develop creative desktop applications. Recent update to 12 offers iOS support... I'm a newcomer to LC. The only ingredient missing from it for me is the ability to use accelerated 3D. Other than this, it's my new friend.

Re: Finding orphaned put
This was a good thread - ta! My simple question is - does putting stuff slowdown runtime performance? In my first bit of iOS/Android development I'm putting stuff all the time and checking it in Console to help debug...

It shouldn't make a dent in the speed, it's just pushing thing to stdout. The engine is very fast. One of the (relatively) slowest things to do is read/write to fields, and you aren't doing that. Thanks for this. Putting stuff in Director (my other life) has an impact on engine speed, especially if it is a large string.

Dare I point out that I neither have an Intel Mac, nor can I afford one; so, dare I point out that if that comment was aimed at me it was pointless. Impossible to aim a message when using a mailing list - more like a blunderbuss than a rifle. So no - no aiming at you involved. I was trying to help mankind in general. I used the word 'dare' because I've been lurking here a few weeks, seen that there are many smart people here, and that was my very firstest postest. I wasn't being facetious, silly. I do run Mac 10.6 using VMware on a Linux box, just as I also run Windows XP. Interesting... But that is beside the point. Aw! My message was aimed at those programmers who do not have large amounts of moolah to spare. Well I own an Intel mac - but I'm paying it up over 2 years. I would definitely count myself as being a proud member of the above group. And your comment, Paul, makes me thing of Marie Antoinette; and she ended up as a headless server - LOL. insert pun about 'revolution' here If you want to eat cake with guillotined shadows don't mind me. Now this has to be the most interesting phrase I've read in some time. I have no real idea what it means as such, but it exhibits such poesis...

Re: CEO's Open Source Beard Documented
Hah! Excellent. Those are my students. (I'm that guy in the second shot lurking behind a seated Kevin) As well as being bearded, Kevin was very courageous that evening - he was in a pretty bad way health-wise (with the 4-day bug currently sweeping the uk) but the dude pulled through and delivered another inspiring talk for all. Thanks again RunRev team!

Re: Moving controls smoothly around the screen
Hi. My first post here - been lurking a whole 48 hours :-) I recognise a couple if names here from the Director DIRECT-L list... Anyways hello world! I'm reasonably new to Livecode. I'm intrigued by the Animation Engine - I'd like to know more but can't find any demos or examples or trial versions. Moving UI elements is enormously tedious whatever the platform - and writing animation wrapper routines from scratch is time-consuming. If the Animation Engine was robust and simple I'd be up for it. Anybody got any pointers to any info, advice, gotchas or examples? Regards, Paul. On 14 Apr 2013, at 04:47, Gerry Orkin gerry.or...@gmail.com wrote: I use Animation Engine to smoothly move things.

Re: Moving controls smoothly around the screen
Great! Thanks for the prompt response. I'll check it out. Regards, Paul. On 14 Apr 2013, at 10:38, Malte Brill revolut...@derbrill.de wrote: Hi Paul, welcome to the list. I am the author of said library. :-) You can find animationEngine (the dual licensed version) on my server: http://derbrill.de/animationEngine5.0.2.zip It comes with a PDF and a few example stacks. It will take a little while before this is moved to github and the marketplace site. There is a forum for animationEngine here: http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=27 Of course I will be answering questions everywhere I see them pop up. Also there are quite a few users that also might jump in to answer questions that may be arising. :-) Hope that helps.
