Re: text to speech for iOS and Android

I asked about this at a meetup and the LC crew looked it up in the Dictionary and told me it wasn't supported on mobile.

Nor can I see it listed at http://livecode.com/community/roadmap/

But I'd also be interested in it on mobile platforms for an app I have in mind.

Re: Participant Introductions

Hello, I'm Gary and I live in Edinburgh, Scotland. Back in the 90s I was a fan of HyperCard but somehow lost sight of it when the web came along. It's nice to see RunRev bringing it into the mobile apps world of the 21st Century. I am currently working on my first commercial mobile app and I have to...

Re: DataGrid LayoutControl

Hi Klaus, I am following Academy tutorial 50 so am expecting two rows alternately coloured, but where each row is the same height. Attached is a png of my row template, and an image of what I get if I comment out the lines in the layoutControl handler. As you can see I only get one row. I would have...

Re: DataGrid LayoutControl

Hi Klaus, Well you are quite right and that is why my text is overlaid as in the png. It is in fact a Form. I have two fields set up in the template. No matter what I try I cannot get them to appear as you'd expect. I get one or either of them at a time, or they overlap. Are the items of pControlRec...

Re: drag: bad end location expression

Hi Klaus, I changed it to openCard and now the message box has the word 'form' in it. I don't think it is a problem with preOpenCard because as I say it was working previously. Also if I choose to make the datagrid a Table instead of a Form I can see my data in columns. One other thing when I do cho...

Re: drag: bad end location expression

Basically I'm trying to render XML as a datagrid so that my script copies the tutorial Advanced XML Rendering using the Data Grid. This function gets the XML and uses revXMLNodeContents to extract the data I'm interested in rendering: function webService.GetAllTeams pApiKey local tResult local tDocI...

I didn't get that for the required path you would put /root/node/child_2 say but thought it would have to include all prior child nodes so /root/node/child_1/child_2. Of course now I feel a bit silly.

Thanks again for responding and pointing out the obvious to me.
