Livecode 5.0 upgrade !

[Es124]

Why do we have no right to download the latest update for livecode 5.0 when we already have purchase 5.0 ?

And why are there all these problems to make a standalone app for the iPad ? ( missing pictures and no video ),
so if i want to resolve the problems i have to pay another 200 dollars to get the updates ?

Hi Enno,

Why do we have no right to download the latest update for livecode 5.0 when we already have purchase 5.0 ?

as you can read on the screenshot, you need to be part of the LiveCode Developer Programm to be allowed to download DPs (Developer Previews)
and Beta versions of LiveCode!

And why are there all these problems to make a standalone app for the iPad ? ( missing pictures and no video ),

Are you sure that this (missing pictures and no video) is LiveCodes fault?

Hi,

yes i know, 90 % possible it's my fault ... but what do i do wrong ?
When i test it on the iPad sim every picture is there, but when i send it trough Xcode to the iPad then the first 2 cards incl. pictures are there, but the pictures on the other cards are missing or at a differed place and size. ( size app. 45 mb.)

greetings,
Enno

Hi Enno,

In order to tell you what you're doing wrong, we need to know what you're doing. How did you include the pictures in your stack?

Btw what's with the latest 2 screenshots?

Kind regards,

Mark

Dag Enno,

Hi,
When i test it on the iPad sim every picture is there, but when i send it trough Xcode to the iPad then the first 2 cards incl. pictures are there...

So you should at first check what the differences are in the filenames of the images that DO show up and the ones the DO NOT show up!

... but the pictures on the other cards are missing or at a differed place and size. ( size app. 45 mb.)

What do you mean with "at a different place"?
And what do you mean with size: the dimensions or the filesize?


Hint regarding playing videos on iOS:
On the screenshot I see that your videos are in a subfolder named "Videos".
So you can play them on iOS with:
...
put specialfoolderpath("engine") & "/Videos/Name of your video.mp4" into tVideo
play tVideo
...

Important hint: the iOS filesystem is CASE SENSITIVE!
So take care to use the correct cases! Video.mp4 <> video.mp4

Hi,

Ok the pictures our all there, and on the right place ( but still slow loading of the next card ) But it's no good for the video... what do i do wrong ?

The mov. has to play on mouesup from the 'movie bord_icon copy.png' button , but i only have a mil.second black screen.

Hi,

Specialfolderpath("something") never has a trailing slash. You need to add this before the remainder of the path, i.e. if your path starts with "video/..." you have to write "/video/...".

Kind regards,

Hi Mark,

i did
on mouseup
play video specialFolderPath("engine") & "/Vidoes/Cover.mov"
end mouseup


and it works on the IPad sim... thanks ... now let's hope it works on the iPad .

...
on mouseup
play video specialFolderPath("engine") & "/Vidoes/Cover.mov"
end mouseup
