LiveCode Forums

Two items: 1. Can you use the message browserStartedLoading to look at the URL, pull out the information you need, and decide whether you want to reset the URL? I am sure it would be ugly, but maybe combined with a lock screen? 2. Doesn't your browserLoadRequest code example require a "pass browserL...

I found the answer over in this post . The basic answer is that Javascript cannot speak to Livecode because it appears to be out of its context, but it can speak to the browser. The browser in turn can communicate with Livecode through the event messages it passes to Livecode to handle. I had though...

This is great. I will have to try it out. One question though: where do I put the "icon.png" file? Or do I simply add it as a file in the Standalone Settings and the build puts it in the proper path?

Thanks again.

I found the example of Livecode calling a Javascript function with "do", but I was wondering if there is some way for Javascript to send a message to Livecode, where I could then write a handler to process it. Here is the background: Firebase has a REST API, which I have successfully accessed from L...

if this is what you mean let me know and I can share how I got it to work (BTW, didn't need an external from memory) Cool. Yes, that is exactly what I am looking for. I was hoping to email a game file to another iPad and when they tapped the file it would present a "Open In" [my app] menu item. If ...

Hmmm, the more I dig the more it looks like I need to mess with the plist.info, but this Apple document implies that your app has to handle a special event when asked to open the file. So maybe the question should be: has anyone done this sort of thing, and is an external required?

I looked at mergExt's mergDoc and it appears that it can present a popover for opening a file in another app, but I was wondering if mergExt (or anyone else's product) has an external that allows your app to register for file types that it can open, such as discussed on this page from Apple . I woul...

Right, but you can save a separate storage stack. I do that to save preferences frequently, for example. The more I think about it, the better I think Sparkout's idea is. That brings up an interesting point, but unfortunately reveals my bias. I started in Hypercard, dropped out of that world (and t...

It turns out I did post this to the wrong forum; there is a hidden forum I was supposed to use for the idea2app program, not this one. That said, this has been some good discussion, even if my original questions were not all answered. If I find the answers on the other forum, I will post them here. ...

My application has several arrays of data and I would like to write it out to a file and read it back in when I open the application back up. I understand the basics of encoding arrays with arrayEncode(), reading and writing binary files, and putting up dialogs to prompt the user to pick a file or p...

Not to detract from the interesting consideration of the task as described, but you may also store the arrays as properties of a stack which you then save. The file size and convenience of being able to read and write from and to your storage stack mean that it is a very useful way of storing data ...

I believe the other forum I posted to is one in which only a limited number of people have access to, and is for posting questions to a course I paid for (unless I was on the wrong forum). From that question I am hoping to get an official answer from RunRev, specifically in the Wednesday Q&A live se...

Have you looked at Quartum's blog? http://quartam.blogspot.com/ They have some sophisticated data analytics for Livecode developers. How about the Livecode apps blog? http://livecode1001.blogspot.com/ That gives you a better idea on just what people are showcasing. Only interested in the commercial ...

I realize this is not exactly a "Complete Beginners" question, but there is no "Intermediate" board (why is that?), so... My application has several arrays of data and I would like to write it out to a file and read it back in when I open the application back up. I understand the basics of encoding ...
