Re: Behavior changes in LC 10 ?

Thanks guys.

The issue was that the behavior wasn't yet in the message path so only stack shows up in the dialog.

Still immediately placing buttons into a "script only" stack that contain buttons seems a misnomer.

It's just me being away from LC for some years. Case closed.

Re: Behavior changes in LC 10 ?

Gender concerns aside, I feel like this has changed. For instance, the behaviors tab of the property inspector offers to create a new script stack for the behavior, and doesn't seem to allow the selection of a button object - just stacks. It does work... if I put behaviors in the stack script of the...

Behavior changes in LC 10 ?

Hey all, I'm back tackling a new utility in LC 10. I notice behaviors seem to have changed in how they are assigned, and used? Are behaviors in external stacks still the recommended approach for scripting? The new system seems to imply a single stack script per object - am I inferring that correctly...

Re: PNG not Printing on Windows

Thanks for asking... The PNG image prints both the PDF and from the web browser on the same system. Further info... the PNG WAS 2800x4000 pixels. Replacing the whole thing with a smaller PNG ends up printing OK. The new one is only about 1kx2k. It prints, and the alpha overlay works. Is this a resol...

PNG not Printing on Windows

I have a stack which builds up a few layers of images and text in another (hidden) stack. That stack is high resolution for printing. The layers from top to bottom are: 1. Some Text 2. A PNG image (with alpha showing layers beneath) 3. A background image (JPG) I use snapshots of this stack to show p...

CameraControl selecting from multiple cameras

I've got a project which uses cameraControl on Windows and Mac desktops. It seems to work pretty well so far, but when a system has multiple cameras connected, how does one create a control from a specific camera? For instance, I have a laptop with a second USB camera connected. How can I get the US...

Deploy HTML5 App with Ajax to Windows

I have an HTML5 web application which heavily uses ajax requests - no server-side code, just ajax. Now, I need to package the whole thing to a USB stick. On OSX, this isn't a problem... In Livecode, I bundle the site, and the embeddable webkit browser, tie them together, and I have a double-clickabl...

RevBrowser Webkit status

I noticed that the 6.7DP series mentions having updated to webkit browser, but I don't see any changes in the rev dictionary. It still indicates that IE is used on Windows, and specifies platform differences relating to that.

Can anyone clarify the multi-platform status of RevBrowser?

Re: Update of RegEx library (libpcre) done

@Troy: what sort of "stumpers" are you running into? I believe the 6.5 LC releases have access to the entire capabilities of the latest pcre library. Is this just a matter of LC text parsing? Well.. I guess. Yeah. ;-) We just can't seem to find any "magic" combination of matchChunk and filter and o...

Re: Update of RegEx library (libpcre) done

Hi, sorry to step in to this thread, but our search for back referencing capture groups in LiveCode landed me here. It sounds like this updated library was being rolled into the distribution? Does that change anything about the way we can use RegEx in LiveCode? Because we're hitting some real stumpe...

Re: Invisible browser

Thanks, at least I know it isn't Safari 6.

Depending how thing go, I may request a check... but the stack is completely basic... a single button that opens a browser. Maybe 10 lines of code total. And it works on my other machines.

Very strange...

Invisible browser

On my primary development Mac, the RevBrowser does not show up. The same stack displays it fine on my other Macs. Interestingly, the tooltips for the browser do show up, so the browser instance IS loading, and navigating to the URL correctly, and in the correct location on the stack, it just has no ...

Re: One addition...

While images are not getting placed in the stand alone, the small aiff audio files I also imported as controls are. This pretty much seems to happen if you use "copy referenced files" in the standalone builder. In my case, I had to manually copy referenced files, and script the paths to them. Note ...
