Re: Asking a little help with datagrid or file locations
Hi Valiant. The datagrid form is the most complex object in LiveCode. New coders seem drawn to it like moth to flame, get burned and quickly lose interest. There's lots of LiveCode to explore without ever going near a datagrid. Here's a few links you might find helpful. An essential Datagrid PDF: ht...

Re: Printing delivery note
Hi cbarbal. An alternative to paper invoicing is PDF invoicing using a simple table field. Attached is a demo stack. PDF each invoice separately and email to the client for payment saving print & postage costs, or PDF all invoices each week for business records. Scripts for both methods are included...

Spanish Voice Install
My Summer project was to make a Mexican Spanish tutorial stack. There are free SAPI5 Spanish voices to download. If you'd like to try some Spanish, I would be interested in your experience installing a text to speech voice and suggestions for the stack. Terry WINDOWS 7-10: Neuber has a free utility ...

Re: Tips for the newbie in livecode
Hi lemodizon. Yet another Calendar or Date Picker. Self-contained group of three fields and two buttons. Group objects refer to the group's script to update calendar. Option for auto-update on preOpenCard. An often overlooked feature when working with groups is Edit > Select Group Controls. Check to...

Re: FullScreenMode For Mobile
--Hi bwmilby. The LC thread you linked was interesting. Looks like mobile GM & profile bugs fixed in 9.0 RC1. I'll analyze your demo stack. Thanks. --Hi Richard. Thank you for the detailed answers. I tried your suggestion of a resizeStack handler on a test stack of one scrolling field and three push...

FullScreenMode For Mobile
Jacque & Richard. I've been following with interest your recent posts about fullScreenMode vs manual resizing objects in mobile. I have a few lingering questions. 1) Stacks have their resizable property "true" by default. I suspect they must remain true for either method of resizing. I've often acci...

Re: How To Play Video On Google Drive With A Player Object?
Hi Jacque & [-hh]. Thank you for your help. I tried the direct address link but couldn't get it to work. Yes I included the last space. Could Google be creating a temporary file path that expires after a period of time? If you download the video again and with your method check the video's file path...

Re: How To Play Video On Google Drive With A Player Object?
Thanks Jacque for responding. Yes, that's the shareable link, but the LC forum doesn't extend the link underline all the way across to include the last space. That's the code I was assigned. I can't change it. I tried with quotes but no improvement. I didn't add the underscores, that was done by the...

How To Play Video On Google Drive With A Player Object?
I've been trying to play a video uploaded to Google Drive with a player object. I can't get a valid file path. Here's the Google Drive shareable link to video "sampleMPG.mpg". It's the default LiveCode sample video. Note the spaces within and at the end of the link. https://drive.google.com/open?id=...

Re: Audio & Video Lesson .txt
Thanks Bogs for Linux details on mPlayer, very helpful. I'm favoring VLC (user preferred) over mPlayer (LiveCode Ltd suggested) as the Linux default multi-media player & codec.

I finished writing the first draft of an audio & video lesson with examples taken from the forum, thanks Klaus and Jacque. I'd like any comments, errors, omissions for improvement.

Re: Updating Footnoted Text
Hi MontyMay. I came up with a solution using wordOffset(). Turns out not so easy. There must be a space after the sentence's period to make the placeholder "FN" a word. Existing text formatting is preserved using the htmlText property. There's an option for renumbering a footnote list at the end of ...
