Re: Cache in Live Code

Hi Lupita,

If I recall correctly, the cache is part of the browser object so you don't need to create it. Have a look at cachedURL and cachedURLs in the dictionary, it should explain things for you.

Code: Select all

if myURL is not among the lines of the cachedURLs then load myURL

Re: MySQL equivalent to windows search for *

Hi DavJans, I was thinking about a loop through the fields but maybe I'm not really understang what you are trying to accomplish with your query. Quick, untested example below (assuming the fields are in a group called "columns" and the field names match the column names. local tQuery, tClauseCount,...

Re: MySQL equivalent to windows search for *

If I read what you are trying to do correctly, I believe you will have to build your query to reference the columns. Couldn't you just check each of the 12 fields to see if the user entered data into them and build the query based on that information? Maybe I'm missing something but, that way, it wo...

Re: data from web

Hi Michael,

The Open Movie Database has an api which would allow you to search on titles. I don't believe they have cover art but the do have poster images.

Have a look here http://www.omdbapi.com/ and check out their sample requests. Should be fairly simple to parse.

Re: How to use timer

You can also send a command after a preset time period like "send functionA to this card in 5 seconds"

Re: windows 7.5

Windows phone deployment was one of the stretch goals that was funded in the kickstarter campaign so it should be coming soon. I'm not certain which windows phone versions will be supported though.

I have not seen this while working with strings, do you have some code that demonstrates the problem?

Re: Difficulty finding problem in If, Else If repeat loop

I agree, that code works for me.

Could the addresses in "hiatus" also be in "optouts"?

My guess is you have the counts there to debug, if that is the case, you could combine those 2 statements as Mark suggests and it should work.

Re: How to upload a photo to a mysql database?

If you actually want to but the photo in the database, you would need to encode it as the others have suggested but most hosts will not allow direct access to a MYSQL instance for security reasons. Is there a reason you need to put the actual file in the database? Why wouldn't you upload the file vi...

Re: Worried about add-ons

Hi Alex, That really depends on what you are trying to do. Some "add-ons" are linking to external libraries that add additional functionality not currently available in Livecode while others are there to make things easier for the developer. Examples of the later type would be Animation Engine or Mo...

Re: RevBrowser focus issue

edit: apparently I spoke to soon, the workaround is fine until the user clicks something, then command keys no longer function. I came up with hackish workaround. It does work, but it doesn't make for the best UX so I would still be interested in any thoughts on a better way to handle it. What I did...
