Re: Non-dispatching wait and event handling

Well I read two questions here: First if the engine should be able to block stuff in the future, as it does now (considering that's hard to do in all of the current OSes and intervaces it's suppose to work with), and second if yes, how to do that without being unpredictably or running into weird thr...

Re: 'Send in x millisecs' performance hit with user interact

one way to avoid slowdown is, not to poll messages at all, but use a game loop repeating handler instead, and check user input in there. For example: on startGame send "eventLoop" to me in 20 miliseconds end startGame on eventLoop if the mouse is down then --flap the bird end if --update gui, move b...

Re: Please help me to consolidate the status of socket suppo

I remember Mark from RunRev talking about getting sockets into the mobile engines... Causing several people to stop trying to get sockets for andriod working. Maybe you ought to ask RunRev how far along they are?

Re: Trying to register chartsengine

Hi It seems to me that you're mixing up a few things, so bear with me for this short excurse on substacks, before we get to the actual chartsEngine problem :) A stack can be several things, so here's a short summary: Stacks are files Stacks are part of files when they're called mainstacks and substa...

Re: Radar Chart

Hi I'm maintaining ChartsEngine, and am glad you like it. :) Sadly, currently ChartsEngine is not capable of doing Radar/Spider type charts. Of course it's possible to do it yourself, all you need is a bit of trigonometry and radian/degree calculations. If you don't want to do it yourself, maybe you...

Re: Integrate OLARK into Livecode App

Yeah, using IE to run a Jscript chat that connects to a server that you not control. That's too many things that can go wrong for my comfort. That's probably why I made my own. Just to clarify, you can use chatrev without doing (almost) any coding. Just make sure that in the client you set the serve...

Re: Changing Scrollbar Colors in a Field

I don't think there's any way to change those, they'll always look like whatever the lookandfeel is set to. Said that, they do react to some of the color settings when you set the lookandfeel to motiv (which is the default on mobile platforms). If you want custom themed scrollbars for fields, you ha...

Re: Duplicate Object IDs with Sub Stack

Ah i see, an image library substack. One way that I made work before is to set the id of the substack to a high value, for example I tend to use 300000. That way, all id's of new objects will start from there, which reduces the likeliness of conflicts.

Re: Duplicate Object IDs with Sub Stack

I suggest to not use ID's in all places where you have a choice. I think the only places where you have to use id's are icons and behaviors.

Re: 'Server' without Apache etc. - basic nOOb question

I think you might run into problems when trying to run LC as a Windows service, but I don't really have any experience with that. LC is either a command line application, or a full fledged app that has a full GUI. If you can incorporate either of those into a Windows service, then you're golden :) P...

Re: Peer to Peer Networking Stack

Sadly, I'm not sure what you are asking about. As I said, step 1-4 where working for me easily, my router is doing sub-option 2, so i add one to port 2 for the "next" port. my problem is in the last step even when using known and forwarded ports . In other words, when I leave out the complexity of s...
