Re: JavaScript + LC HTML5 = LiveCode.js

Hello Roger, you need to remember almost 50% of web users are on a non-desktop OS, and almost none of them support plugins like you are describing. LC HTML5 is what it is...It is an App running in an HTML5 canvas. We will be limited that those restrictions. But I understand where you are coming

Re: JavaScript + LC HTML5 = LiveCode.js

I too never quite understood why the RevWeb Plugin was abandoned. The old issue that users resist such downloads, never, IMHO, really materialized… just look at the kJillion extensions for FireFox or Chrome, there is no end in sight. So the plugin was abandoned, but in the end, hasn't the team

Re: Draw an adjustable Trapezoid in Livecode - How to change x, y of the 4 corner points of a rect

Thanks every one for all the great answers/ideas. That said, @Mark… docs may need clarification 1) create 'regular polygon graphic" with 4 sides 2) name it "trapezoid" 3) make button "set the editMode of grc "trapezoid" to polygon result: nothing happens at all, no change, no option to add

Draw an adjustable Trapezoid in Livecode - How to change x, y of the 4 corner points of a rect

Maybe this could be useful: on mouseUp lock screen create grc set the style of it to polygon set the points of it to "3,0,0,10,10,10,7,0,3,0" -- a very small figure set the rect of it to "0,0,200,100" -- enlarge the figure set the loc of it to the screenloc -- position

Re: Draw an adjustable Trapezoid in Livecode - How to change x, y of the 4 corner points of a rect

I don’t know about you, but I got tired trying to figure out how to use the editMode of a polygon in Version 8, so I built what I think you need here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bbsfkorg9vm32um/PolywHandles.livecode?dl=0

Re: JavaScript + LC HTML5 = LiveCode.js

I disagree that you might as well be running a desktop app. The download of the helper would only be necessary once (like the old RevWeb plugin). Back when we had the RevWeb plugin, my browser based apps just worked. Being in a position where localized automation is primarily what I create for

Re: JavaScript + LC HTML5 = LiveCode.js

I should perhaps say that whilst what I'm saying above sounds somewhat doom and gloom, it isn't. Browsers have a huge responsibility to keep your computer safe from malicious attack (there are people who spend all their time trying to find holes to wriggle through and then exploit). Browser

Re: JavaScript + LC HTML5 = LiveCode.js

The connection could possibly be made by using web sockets I guess (someone correct me if I'm wrong). However, the user would have to download, install and run the helper process... At which point you might as well be running a desktop app I'd think. Browsers do not and will almost certainly

Re: JavaScript + LC HTML5 = LiveCode.js

Mark, Would it be possible to have a LC executable (something resembling LC Server) on a Desktop, allowing the browser to access the local machine by way of that backgrounded process? Could it be an out of the box capability only turned on by the machine's primary user, via the html5 application

Re: Draw an adjustable Trapezoid in Livecode - How to change x, y of the 4 corner points of a rect

The good news: Right click on the Polygon then choose 'Reshape Polygon' and the points that you require should appear. :-) BR: confirmed.. that works. Now the bad news: Sadly this also revealed the ghost trails seen before when you start to drag the points around. :-( BR:

Re: JavaScript + LC HTML5 = LiveCode.js

Indeed. Once we have JS which 'does a similar thing' to answer file (or any other OS related piece of syntax) - hooking it up to that command is relatively straightforward. The hard part is writing the JavaScript implementations of the various OS services we are so used to using directly in

Re: JavaScript + LC HTML5 = LiveCode.js

File picker should not have to be built in another language, in my opinion. Ask or Answer file SHOULD just work. Again, my opinion. This is LiveCode after all. ~Roger On Nov 24, 2016 10:49 AM, "Todd Fabacher" wrote: > Hello LiveCode community, > > At Digital Pomegranate

Hi Tiemo, If you search for 'PlatformKeyCode' in this file: https://github.com/livecode/livecode/blob/develop/engine/src/platform.h It should give you what you need. Warmest Regards, Mark. Sent from my iPhone > On 24 Nov 2016, at 16:31, Tiemo Hollmann TB wrote: > >

Hello, since keyUp doesn't works anymore as it should on windows in LC 7/8 (see my previous post) I have to workaround with rawKeyUp. Does anybody has a togo mapping table of the rawkeyup codes to the real chars? If not I have to build it myself by testing each char. Thanks Tiemo
