Hi All

Today I have released mergZXing my iOS Barcode Reader External for sale via my website http://goulding.ws/mergzxing for US$49.

The external will also be available on the LiveCode marketplace ASAP.

mergZXing currently supports reading barcodes in these formats:

UPC-A and UPC-E
EAN-8 and EAN-13
Code 39
Code 128
QR Code
ITF
Data Matrix
As an added bonus I have also included mergAnswerColor which is a modal color picker external for iOS.

Thanks Jellicle

There's also another bonus now called mergBanner which is an iAd external. Early bird pricing of US$49 is for a short time only.

Cheers

Hi All

I have just updated mergZXing with a new bonus external mergMessage all still for the early bird price of US$49. With mergMessage you can send sms from livecode. There's one command:
mergMessage [pNumbers],[pBody]

and one function:
mergMessageCanSendText()

Cheers

Monte
