Hi,

The command "wait 1 seconds" doesn't do anything. This will probably be more effective:

Code: Select all

on preOpencard
      # quit if we are not on a mobile device
     if the environment is not "mobile" then exit preopencard
     send "continuePreOpencard" to me in 0 millisecs
end preOpenCard

on continuePreOpenCard
  -- remainder of your script
end continuePreOpenCard

If you think you need to wait a second to update the location for instance, then use

send "continuePreOpencard" to me in 1000 millisecs

There's a good chance that you can use less than 1000 millisecs, e.g. 250 millisecs, which would probably improve user experience.

You script doesn't contain a delete file command. Use the following syntax to delete your HTML file:

Code: Select all

delete file documentFilePath

Note that you can delete files from the documents folder but not from the engine folder.

Kind regards,

the results after Mark

Code: Select all

delete URL("file:" & thehtmlFile)

Hi,

I don't understand what you want with your last message.

Earlier I wrote you can't delete a URL, but actually you can. The problem was that your original script didn't contain a delete file or delete URL command, while it contained a delete variable command.

Has your problem been solved now?

Kind regards,

Mark
