"Web Deployment Pack", can I see an example of online app?

Post by calvax » Fri Dec 30, 2011 6:31 pm

Hi,
I am complete beginner and going to buy personal pack of windows-linux and Web Deployment Pack.
Do you know if anywhere online I can play any working application made with livecode in Web Deployment Pack format, just to see how it plays (speed, compatibility with browser, etc).
Just an example application to see it.
I don't need to see source code, only to play application.
Thanks

If you already have the plugin installed, give this a try:

To the bottom left of the screen, you can grab desktop versions and there may even be the stack file I used to build it in the zip archive. If it doesn't work for ya, try a different browser. As of writing this, I verified that it's working on Firefox and Safari in Windows 7. ;)

Thanks for the info, Dixie!

...seems like the browser outfits are finally fixing some issues with their 64bit offerings. :)

Best regards,

Very nice app. I am amazed you could do something like that in 45 mins. BTW, I didn't find a zip archive but would love to browse the source sometime if you make it available. Also, if you don't have the plugin installed (I don't seem to) then it loads a web page with a frame but does not display anything or prompt you. I'll have to go see if I can find the current plugin somewhere. The Mac desktop version worked fine however.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the kind remarks, Mark.

Well to be sure, the original version -did- only take around 45 minutes to build. If I remember correctly, it actually took longer to find the usable images than it did to put the app together. :)

Since then, there have been some improvements on a couple of different occasions... first, the late Eric Chatonet was kind enough to show me how to streamline the workings of the button code (referenced in the card script comments), then back when I decided to turn it into a web app, I added the phrase and "ReturnInField" capabilities along with the little"x" button to clear the field. That was pretty much it.

Keep in mind that the whole thing was originally done -only- as a learning exercise (trying to help a friend) and that the images are not of my own designs... I found them on the net (have no idea where) which is what gave me the idea in the first place. Sorry, but I was unable to locate the source in order to ask for permission after the fact.

I've attached the source file to this message and anyone who wants to use it are more than welcome.

P.S. - The images are hidden down below the bottom of the app, so you will have to make the stack resizeable and un-hide them before they become apparent.

Doc, very nice... thanks for sharing. I like the way the card script handles all of the buttons (with a single handler). I'm just learning that kind of programming in LC and I always find it amazing how efficient some programmers can be. Its an inspiration.
