Hi All, I am trying to convert Hex to ASCII, similar to the Hex to ASCII Text Converter at: http://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/hex-to-ascii.htm When I enter 57612be9 and click on the "Convert" button, I get the following value: Wa+é Using the binaryEncode function in LiveCode... answer binary...

Gotcha; thanks Hermann.

Hi -hh, Yeppers, I believe I read some of that. However, I am working locally (i.e., the files are on my computer, not on a Web server). I am experimenting locally because I have a project that will require such. Perhaps even using url/binfile to save a file locally entails "wait," albeit it would n...

Thanks Richard and -hh.

Hi All, I am still playing with HTML5 in LiveCode and can see the potential. Another question... I am able to put text into a variable, within the .js file that is included with the distribution, by putting the following code at the top of the file: var myVar = "Hello world!"; alert (myVar); When I ...

Hi -hh, Thanks for your prompt reply. Yep, I was aware of that, but I was hoping for a solution by which users could select an image on their own systems. (Not images distributed with the app.) Yesterday I checked out some of your examples, including "GifCinema." Nice work; nice work indeed. (Thanks...

Hi Again,

I presume LiveCode HTML5 apps only have access to the /boot/standalone folder?

Hi All, I have just started to experiment with HTML5 in LiveCode and have a quick question. When I save my test stack as an HTML5 standalone, and run it from the output folder on my computer, all works well. Is there a way to load an image file (i.e., that's located locally in the same output folder...

Thanks Ron! I will check it out.

Hi Ron,

I just came across your post. Very neat stuff! Is there a place we can down the stacks for this project?

Hi Neil,

No problemo. Feel free to do so...

Thanks,

Hi Ron, Unfortunately, I haven't worked much on that app since I posted the last version. (Although months ago, I did add a few additional bits of code.) Due to a family illness, I wasn't very active during the latter part of the course (although I did check in a few times). I look forward to explor...

Solved! You can utilize the following command to optimize an SQLite database:

Hi All, I am currently working on an app with an SQLite database. I am able to add images as blobs without any issues. However, upon removing an image from the database, I notice that the size of the database remains large. Is there a way to optimize (i.e., remove blank space, etc.) an SQLite databa...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the kind words--much appreciated. This stack provides an excellent example of just how easy it is create an application with LiveCode. (I put that stack together in a few hours... Imagine what you can do if you spend a few days/weeks working on an app?!) Have fun, and I look forw...
