Re: I Hate the New Color Picker
What I want is a one-stop place where I can record and manage the color palettes of each and every one of my projects. A subset of the OS picker, as you note. I’m working on it.

Often this happens very late in the process, just after building the standalone to test out the work they've been doing, and suddenly everything that worked so well in the IDE stops working, with no readily discernible cause. So they come into the forums or this list, and folks mention everything from refactoring their work to use an anchor window (or splash screen) pattern, or completely rewrite everything to use an external text file or database or what have you. The LiveCode User Guide's section on building standalones includes a bold purple callout box explaining this (p 299), but it's a testament to the usability of LiveCode that apparently a great many people can use it productively for many weeks without ever cracking the User Guide. Clearly something more is needed. What should that be? Putting a note in the Standalone Builder might help, but if they've gotten that far it's too late, they probably have to start rewriting things.

OpenCard and preOpenCard Odd Behavior
I have a stack of 6 cards, the first card of which has both a preOpenCard and an openCard script. These scripts execute properly when the stack is first opened, but they fail to execute if the first card is revisited (after the stack is open). Other cards in this stack have preOpenCard and OpenCard scripts that always execute when the card is visited. Can someone please suggest what might be going on here?

Re: OpenCard and preOpenCard Odd Behavior
I'm so sorry folks, I had to run an errand and came back to realize I misspoke!! I DO NOT have openCard and PreOpenCard scripts at the stack level. Jacque, I am merely navigating between cards in my problem stack that gives me this grief Craig, I'm checking the Message Watcher, but so far I'm not seeing what's causing my problem. Sure enough the MessageWatcher confirms that OpenCard and PreOpenCard are not executing when revisiting the first card, but are when first opening the stack. Dar, I don't think there are any front scripts . . . certainly none of my own. Could there be others not of my doing?

If the handler might be in the message path several times, then either detect the repeat or make the operation short and harmless, that is, ending up with the same state. For example if the script handers do general card set up and the card handler does card specific setup, then the card specific one could pass to the stack handler.

I've written my own screen snapshot and video recording code on iOS and this doesn't capture the contents of a view/window drawn directly with OpenGL - for that you need to read back the pixels from the hardware graphics accelerator directly. So if my understanding of accelerated rendering is correct, then this shouldn't work - if LiveCode didn't block you making the call in that mode, you should get back a black image. I'm hoping to find out how to trace my way down from a command to the code that implements it in a workshop on Thursday. Curious to look at this one some more when I understand the code better.

Very clever, Ender. Thanks!

Yepp :)
*import from object* works fine.
The problem is *import from rect* notation.
@Roger,
for now the only solution seems this piece of code:
_set the acceleratedRendering of this stack to false
_import snapshot from rect tRect
_set the acceleratedRendering of this stack to true
My sample stack in the forum post works without a glitch with this update.
So, the code in that stack does 3 things:
* Prohibits the black snapshot {turning off the a-R temporarily}
* Prohibits the transparent blank snapshot {excluding the iPhone status bar}
* Places the final snapshot into the visible portion of the screen
Best,

Re: Oval framed photo

To be used as a fully cross-platform pattern, both an image's dimensions should be one of 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128. I didn't read the docs, so I didn't know I couldn't do what I am, in fact, doing. However it works nicely on OSX now. I'm keeping the technique below as it allows me to reposition the image within the oval by dragging it around - but then when I want to keep it I will export the snapshot and then set the backgroundpattern of the graphic. By the way I can't get the new syntax to work: 1. New variants of the import snapshot and export snapshot commands have been added: import snapshot ... at size width, height export snapshot ... at size width, height The script editor does not like the syntax? I just use import snapshot from rect. Seems to work every time for me . In fact, I don't even see this option of at size width, height in the dictionaries of 5.5.4 and 6.0.

If I have a lot and I want to keep them all in a central location in the same stack, I sometimes use an unplaced group. Substacks are a good option too, since you can always see what's in there without having to fiddle with invisible groups. If navigation isn't an issue and an extra card won't get in the way, I sometimes just put a resources card in the back of the stack somewhere. In my current project we're using a splash stack for the app and it loads a lot of other document stacks. Since all the loose stacks use the same icons, I'm storing them all in the splash.

[OT] My First iPad App
Hello Folks! I am very pleased and proud to announce that my first iPad app is now available on iTunes. SETIsyncProb was created by me and donated to (and published by) the SETI Institute so that all proceeds would go to them. (This was a long and painful process compared to actually building the app.) Please have a look, download a copy and please give it a great review. It will cost you less than a buck, and you'll be supporting a worthy non-profit scientific institution! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/seti-sync-problem/id602368776?mt=8 BTW, It is available only as an iPad app because I needed the pixel real estate to accurately scale the simulation. But, for anyone on this list, I'll give you a Mac or Windows (untested) version for free. Just let me know. And, I would love to get your honest feedback via email.

Hello Scott, This is exactly the kind of distribution I want. You solved my problem and you managed to make a piece of art in the process. You are so clever!!

I'm pretty sure you'd need a logarithmic function for this, and while I'm not hip to the right way to do it, I cobbled together an option for fun that seems to come close (via your message box): go url http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/random_position.livecode; Pressing the button creates 200 graphics of random shape/size/translucency, and positions them radially near the center of the card. For me, this looks acceptable (and like modern art), but as I said, it may not be the result you're looking for. You can play with the randomCardPosition function to change the results.

Would your described method do this for me? Sorry for being slow... You need to devise a simple mathematical function that translates the range of the basic random number generator into the appropriate range, with a curve that has a greater slope at the extremes than in the middle. First, generate a random number with a reasonably big range, subtract the midpoint of the range to get a bipolar value, and then compute a third-order polynomial. The zeroth-order coefficient should be the middle pixel value of the screen, the second-order coefficient should be zero to make it symmetric, the first-order should be small enough that by itself you'd get a range that covers only a small portion of the screen, then the third-order should be sufficient to cover the full width of the screen. You can fiddle the first- and third-order coefficients to adjust the weighting. -- Ciao, Paul D.
