Re: Multiple Images on Card

Graham Pearson — 2013-05-21T17:32:24

Thanks for that info as I will investigate. I think I have my slices of
images aligned enough to make a run at this application. As I work
through the script to take each of these images an change the color upon
mouseOver, the ultimate goal is to have this application in a web page.
In search the Forums it looks like messages within the Server Component
stopped in 2012. I saw messages referencing the server part in RunRev
Store but I have not been able to get logged in as I have been getting
Browser Loop Errors all day.

Does anyone have insight to the Server Piece. I hope that it is still in
production as it would make my transition from Flex/Flash/Air to
Livecode so much easier.

Graphic effects parms

Peter Haworth — 2013-05-21T17:30:57

There are a couple of graphic effects parms in the Inspector that aren't
documented in the dictionary.

The dropShadow effect has a "knockout" parm which is a checkbox in the IDE
inspector.  The innerGlow effect has a "source" parm which is an option
menu in the IDE inspector but always seems to be disabled.  Looking at the
array for innerGlow, it has a value of "edge"

Any clues as to what these mystery parms might be?

I'm also having problems with the Inspecotr Graphic Effects tab in that the
parameters for all the effects except dropshadow are always disabled, even
though the effect is applied.  A good reason to use Scott's recent
tmEffects palette I guess!

Hi Richmond,

Open the standalone in a text editor and copy the scripts, 
particularlythe license checking routines. Then use those scripts to 
create your own key. I think that's enough difference.

Graham,

There are many tools or plugins that you can get for better alignment and positioning in LiveCode. 

There is Dar's Tiny Loupe and also Guides Picker 2.0
And outside of LiveCode xScope for the Mac is an awesome tool which also has support for layouts for Mobile.

Get down here to Bulgaria where we are currently running at about 32 C 
in day 10 of a Summer
which will last until about 1 October, maxing out at about 43-4 C in August.

Or, count yourself lucky!

Frankly I'd rather have some sort of wind blowing up Leith Walk with a 
smell of bad fish than
the 4-5 months of baking, humid Summer we get in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

Folk may remember my turning up sopping wet at the RunRev offices having 
walked from
Pollok Halls in the rain - and, as a person from near Elgin, that felt 
just fine to me.

Richmond.

Password protection?

Richmond — 2013-05-21T15:10:20

So, I made a stack containing 1 button containing the script:

on mouseUp
    put "Wotcha"
end mouseUp

then made Linux, Mac and Windows standalones using LC 4.5 with a password
protecting the stack.

then made Linux, Mac and Windows standalones using LC 6.0.1 OSS (with NO 
password protection).

this all done on a box running Ubuntu 12.04.

The standalones for each OS from the 2 LC versions look functionally the 
same.

What I want to do is learn how I can "crack" the non-password protected 
standalones
so that I am actually convinced there is a REAL difference between them 
and those
that, supposedly, contain password protected stacks.

Even the Macintosh standalone, which is not a monolithic file but a 
series of nested directories and folders,
does not have anything obviously different in either of the standalones, 
nor anything that looks like a
raw stack.

Richmond.

Re: Multiple Images on Card

Colin Holgate — 2013-05-21T14:08:27

There is no zooming of the card's contents like you can in Flash Pro. There are alignment tools you can use, and there is a grid, that you can set in preferences. Between those things you can get most things lined up nicely.

LiveCode also doesn't have sub-pixel placement, which means that unlike Flash you can't get into the situation where two images are a fraction of a pixel misaligned, which is one of the reasons you then have to zoom in. You should easily be able to see when two objects are aligned, even without zooming.

Multiple Images on Card

Graham Pearson — 2013-05-21T13:39:04

As part of my learning LiveCode and moving an application from Adobe Air
I have come up with something that I have not been able to find in the
IDE. Does anyone know if it is possible to Zoom a card so that lines can
be matched up on different images.

I have inserted as control 20 images that make an entire picture and
have done it this way so that when a user hovers over a section of the
picture, it would change colors and upon clicking a section of the
picture it would display a new card with detailed information of the
section of the image selected.

The images started as Vector Images which I converted to a Symbol then
imported as a control in LiveCode. Once the lines have lined up then I
can reduce zoom back to 100% for the project.

ziperr,illegal variable

Martin Baxter — 2013-05-21T11:56:42

When I run this in version 4.5.0:

on mouseUp

   put "/var/www/htdocs/ug/testarchive.zip" into tobjpath
   revZipOpenArchive tobjpath, "write"
   put "1) " & the result & return after msg

   put "doodah" into tdataxxx
   put "mimetype" into tparamxxx

   revZipAddUncompressedItemWithData tobjpath, tparamxxx, tdataxxx
   put "2) " & the result & return after msg

   revZipCloseArchive tobjpath

end mouseUp

No archive is created and the message box ends up with this in it:

1)
2) ziperr,illegal variable

The problem seems to be tdataxxx. If I comment out the line:
# put "doodah" into tdataxxx

the archive is created successfully containing a file called mimetype
but which contains the literal string "tdataxxx"

Can anyone shed any light on this?

BTW revZipAddItemWithData behaves the same

"any comments" was indeed a bit open.
But you have answered my question, that the keys in an array are indeed not
sorted like the source list and thanks for the appropriate workaround.

Re: order of array is different after split

Hi Tiemo,

Since you're just asking for comments, I'm not sure what kind of answer 
you're looking for but I'll try.

To process an array in sorted order, you can put the keys into a variable:

put the keys of myArray into myKeys
sort the lines of myKeys ascending international
repeat for each line myKey in myKeys
   // do something with myArray[myKey]
end repeat

This processes the array in internationally sorted order.

order of array is different after split

Tiemo Hollmann TB — 2013-05-21T09:46:00

Hi,

when splitting a plain list into an array, the order of the array is
different to the source list. E.g. if the list was sorted international, the
array is sorted standard. Is this a standard behavior of split, or do I have
any options on the array order.

I know, as far as you access the array by its keys, the order isn't
relevant, but sometimes it might by suitable to process the array in
sequence and then it could be valuable if the sequence is the same as the
origin.

 

Any comments?

Tiemo

Re: postgresql bytea (blob?)

Björnke von Gierke — 2013-05-21T06:53:07

Hmm maybe "x7" could indicate it's base15? They used to store ascii in that encoding, because it's "shorter" then 8 bits (base16)... Nope, it's not that, and it'd be (number)x or something like that anyway... fumbling around... what if there's a 0 missing at the start (0x is used for octal, base16, 8 bit)? Of course!

So what I did was encode the base16 codes to numbers and then chars, in a repeat loop (ignoring the x) and in the end i got: "{\rtf1\ansi\a" So that looks about right.

Here's the code:
--
on mouseUp
   put "x7b5c727466315c616e73695c616" into theData
   repeat for each char theChar in char 2 to -1 of theData
      put theChar after twoChars
      if the length of twoChars = 2 then
         put baseconvert(twoChars,16,10) into twoChars
         put numtochar(twoChars) after theResult
         put "" into twoChars
      end if
   end repeat
   put theResult -- {\rtf1\ansi\a
end mouseUp
--

cheers
Björnke

Re: Dictionary Server nonsense.

Try finding the "user extensions" folder of LiveCode. Sometimes it's not set correctly, or set to a weird place. You can see what LC 6.0.1 thinks it should be in the preferences, under "files & memory". If you navigate to that folder, there should be a copy of my stack, and a folder containing the SQLite files for each version that BvG Docu 2 ran under. Also, make sure you have write privileges on the folder, so BvG Docu 2 can "remember" that it already built the entries.

One other user has reported that this preference was not set correctly by 6.0.1, and in his case by running 5.5.4 he was able to make LC "see" the folder.

Also, please note that version 1.8 of BvG Docu is discontinued, and does not receive any updates anymore... not that such a thing ever discouraged you xD

postgresql bytea (blob?)

Jose Damaso — 2013-05-21T02:11:10

Hi - a legacy database at work contains a bytea field that I want to get
the information out of. It's rich text that was for whatever reason, was
stored as a blob to keep the formatting codes intact -- I'm not even sure
what that means since no one here knows much about it and there is no
documentation on the system. Does anyone know how to convert the returned
query contents of this bytea field to text (or richtext?) with livecode? It
looks like this

x7b5c727466315c616e73695c616... etc.
when my basic query is
put "SELECT c.reportnumber, c.reportblob from cases c WHERE c.ID = " &
tCaseID into tQuery

Thanks!

I'm a layer2 guy at work but am planning to use Livecode as my programming
gateway drug =)

Re: start using stack

Mike Bonner — 2013-05-20T23:25:12

Hmm interesting. My dictionary shows it works on IOS, and I just tested it
in the simulator.  It worked!  Would still get kicked by apple, but
interesting nonetheless.

I set up a simple stack with 1 button.

This code in the button (minus the mangling caused by my email client):

*on* mouseUp x,y

   *go* url "http://192.168.254.4/libtest.livecode"

   *wait* 2 seconds with messages

   *close* stack "libtest"

*end* mouseUp

the address and stack are on my local net.


Click the button, the stack opens, waits 2 seconds and then closes
returning control to the main stack.


tested with both 5.5.4 and 6.0.1 community in the simulator (ipad 5.0 +)

Re: start using stack

Mike Bonner — 2013-05-20T23:09:21

Ah. That would probably be because it would be "running arbitrary code.."
which is against the terms.  There might be a sneaky workaround, but if
you're wanting to submit it to the app store rather than self/internal use
it would probably not be a good idea.

Heres the idea though.

Copy the stack to the clipboard (from your desktop machine)  save the
clipboard data to your web server.. in a database or whatever.

Then on IOS, grab the data gain, push it into the clipboarddata["objects"]
and "paste".

Haven't tried it, no clue if it will work, no clue if you can "paste" a
second stack in on IOS, but maybe it will work.
