LiveCode Forums

Hi All,

So we are used to the prefixes of t(temp), p(parameter), g(global), s(script-wide) and k(konstant) in Variables (or constants in the case of k). In Livecode builder scripts though I have notices the 'm' prefix. Just wondering what that symbolised.

Thanks

Hi,

Are there still no builds for iOS8.1 yet? My app still crashes on launch in 8.1 and clients now getting frustrated (close to irate).

Thanks bud

Thanks Monte
That's perfect. I'm just happy there is a message. I was trying to see if there were some catch-all-messages command/message that could help me track it down, but alas there is none I could find.
Well done on the ios8 builds too by the way.

Hi Is there any message returned that let you know when a socket has closed? Using the old rreSockets we had this message returned. I can't seem to get the same functionality out of MergSockets however. This means that if my Server drops or the iPad loses wifi connection then it doesn't know about i...

Hi Richard, Just heard back from him :) I missed somehow an email from him with beta-1a that was still in my gmail ether. I've downloaded that and it seems to work in LC6.6.3. He's told me he is currently working on an update to WordLib and will take another look at FieldTrip when WL goes into testi...

Actually, I remembered what it was. It was called FieldTrip and was being developed by CurryK.

I wonder what happened to it. I remember preordering now but never saw a return on it. Shame.

Hi All, I remember some time back someone had built a plugin or library (or something) that enabled via some controls to format text in a field. You could add M$Word style formatting controls like alignment, font, size etc and use them to control your text in a field. Does anyone else remember what ...

Hi all, I must be stupid or something. I've tried and tried but cannot seem to get lcVCS to work and I am definitely doing something wrong. The 'guide' doesn't really help a newbie work out how to use it so I have nothing to follow to work out where I'm going wrong. I've installed the plugin (some t...

Edit: Oh wait, have you tried the open file/read file/close file method? Reading the file until eof should block. Oooh, thought we had it then. But it has got me to a solution. The problem here is that while 'read from file' will block till EOF, 'write to file' doesn't necessarily. And you have no ...

Hi Jacque Great to hear your input. Unfortunately though 'load URL' only works with http and FTP but not for binfile: or file: which sucks a little. I understand why though, they're completely different protocols based around smb. So still no resolution on this one at the moment. Anyone able to come...

Hi Monte, Thanks for your response. I would have thought that too. However there then appears to be something else wrong, as when I set the filename it displays nothing the first time. If I leave it for a bit though it displays just fine. If URL is indeed 'blocking' then why would that happen? It's ...

Hi Simon Thanks for the idea. That's what I would have thought too but apparently, on a Mac anyway, it creates the file then starts putting the data into it. So as far as LC/standalone is concerned the file exists as soon as you start the copy, not just once it's finished. Does anyone have any other...

Hi all,
If I were to do this:
put url("binfile:defaultLogo.png") into url("binfile:logo.png")
How do I know when it's finished? So that I don't call a "set the filename of img "myPic" to "logo.png"" too soon

Thanks

Hi There, Looks like you didn't get a reply to these questions and that sucks so let me try. (1) What is the 'ideal' size of the application icon one uses for Mac (and then also Windows) deployment ? The starting point is 1024x1024. Use an app like 'Applicons' available on the Mac AppStore to create...

Hi there, Glad you like it. There are, as a v1.0, a few little teething issues and, when entitlements haven't been set, this is one of the little gotchas I've yet to allow for. Have you followed the guide? You need to first set the entitlements then click the 'update plist' button. This will save an...
