Re: hhPDFViewer v086 issues with local PDFs

Thanks for looking into it! I just tested on Windows and the filename change didn't make a difference there (because of case insensitivity on the filesystem?). But I did find one issue using the debug feature and stepping through line by line looking at the variables. The pdfdata was never populated...

hhPDFViewer v086 issues with local PDFs

I have tried to get the hhpdfviewer stack from http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/916/ to work with local PDFs from both Windows and Linux using both 9.0.1 and 9.0.2 without success. It works with pulling PDFs from online as in the example PDF URL when the stack is opened. When I try to open a lo...

Re: Tools Palette likes to disappear

Thanks all. I will try it with the backdrop disabled and on a separate desktop on Linux. It was driving me NUTS!

Tools Palette likes to disappear

I am using LiveCode on ArchLinux (Plasma) and on Windows 7 Pro x64. On Arch, the tools palette hides itself constantly. For instance, if I pop open the code or inspector dialogs, there is a 50% chance that the Tools palette will go away. Then I have to go to Tools->Project Browser or Message Box or ...

Re: LiveCode Lessons question

So, my LiveCode Lesson for this week is "look in the Dictionary or Help for the answer before posting" :-) Thanks for your responses. Many, many, many moons ago, I bought Visual Basic 2.0 (on floppies of course) and LiveCode lessons bring back memories of going through its programming guide that cam...

Re: LiveCode Lessons question

Thanks for the clarification. I do name my fields (probably poorly but consistently :D ). I can't say I like the way the number is used for the lessons without an explanation of it. I wonder if the numbers correspond to the object layer list for the stack. Oh well... LiveCode is SO different from Py...

LiveCode Lessons question

While going through the lessons, I see in a few places a line referencing "field 1" such as: set the visible of field 1 to true Is "field 1" to mean the name of the field is actually "1" or does that reference the first field on the card? I know it isn't the field id but want to clarify in my mind t...

Re: QRCode and updating image on compiled application

And.... that was my problem. I didn't realize that the openstack code was needed. :roll:

Re: QRCode and updating image on compiled application

The field is indeed named "txtField". I added an extra 'answer' to your code below the debug so that it looks like below: #<debug> answer "About to create the image" set the clipboardData to "About to create the image from:"&CR&field "txtField" #</debug> qrCreate "fldImage",field "txtField","M","3" ...

Re: QRCode and updating image on compiled application

Thanks for the welcome! I am looking forward to the process and am working a bit every day on it. I wasn't going directly to the image for one main reason - I didn't realize I could... I was basing the "!" from example code :-) I tried your debug code and it works fine in the IDE but doesn't popup a...

QRCode and updating image on compiled application

I am new to LiveCode and using the sQuiRt library to generate a QR code image. When I run the code in the development environment, it runs correctly (Windows and Linux both) and updates the image on screen. When I run the executable created (Windows or Linux) it doesn't appear that qrCreate works pr...
