Re: Exporting SVG images?

So is this worth an enhancement request, to add a sixth format to the "export" command?

Re: Palettising a main stack.

Well, more complicated than I thought.

If your handler is in the stack script, it does not work. The openStack handler fires but nothing happens. But if it is this in the stack script:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   palette me
end mouseUp
it work fine if you click on the card window.

Re: Palettising a main stack.

Richmond.

"Me" really cannot be used that way. It only refers to the object that contains a running handler. So you could make this work if you put your original handler in the stack script.

Re: Exporting SVG images?

They are xml files. I assume that they present their vector graphic data in a certain format. The issue, I guess, is that the SVG data is not exportable by LC in its "SVG" format.

The dictionary does not seem to include that format in the five it mentions.

Re: Problems using camera on iPhone

Hi.

I do not do mobile, but reading the dictionary about that command, what do you get in "the result" after the command executes?

Re: Force the script editor to update?

Is there a way to exclude certain messages from being passed?
You can always trap whatever messages you want in a backScript.

But is this really a problem?

Obviously it was stolen, and is now in private hands. Offer a reward.

Re: Force the script editor to update?

Hi. So I understand, is it that the tabs stay alive when messages are locked? And you believe these tabs are now valueless? If so, I get what you are saying, but also say that everything is working as advertised. After, all, even with the stack closed, you can still edit the scripts, and even save t...

Re: Open PDF once created

Brudders. Glad it worked out. Most of my issues are forehead-slappers, and only after making myself believe that it could not possibly be me. But I am still interested in finding out about the original postulate, that is, does this: The problem is sometimes the PDF is still in the process of being c...

Re: Open PDF once created

The problem is sometimes the PDF is still in the process of being created after the Browser substack is opened I am not sure, but this does not make sense to me. Someone like Richard will pipe in about whether LC, being single-threaded, can go off creating something like a PDF, at the same time it ...

Re: Saving as LiveCodeScript

I am not sure that even a control-less stack can be "reduced" to being script-only. Such a stack has properties, for example its rect, that a script only stack does not, and aren't there conservation laws such as:
"rects can neither be created not destroyed"?
