Great suggestion [-hh]. I will work on it today and get it posted.

Thanks peter-b and AndyP! I've updated the demonstration to fix the Ace's bug. To Peter (or whomever at Livecode Central), THANK YOU for adding this ability to get to Javascript. For me, I was missing the goes-inta and goes-outa capability of HTML5 and now that is SOLVED!. I'm sure you've already go...

The new do as JavaScript command adds a whole WORLD of opportunity. I've put together a demonstration of an LC stack making external Javascript calls. The stack is Blackjack. The decks and cards are determined from a REST API call to deckofcardsapi.com. The API calls are Javascript functions. The Li...

I'm having a senior moment... Can someone outline for me what I need to do to be able to use mergJSON on a Mac based LC Server v8.1.0? I can't get it to work. :? Found a mention of needing to include the .dylib in the extensions folder of the server but I can't find the .dylib file anywhere. Thanks ...

I'm in need of guidance regarding the use of script only stacks in closed source applications (I have an Indy license). How do I include a closed source version of a script only stack in an standalone? Do I need to create a standalone builder pre-processor where I loop through each of the script onl...

I'm curious what you might be using for your custom script buttons for in Devolution. I'll share what I'm doing with 3 of the 4 buttons in my setup. I use these buttons to copy object references to the clipboard. This is great especially getting references for front and back scripts (among other thi...

While searching for methods to implement non-blocking Post requests in LC8, I stumbled across what appears to be a very nice libURL replacement library in the GLX App Framework. I'm surprised that I've not seen any information about this so I'm a little skeptical on the library. I'll be spending my ...

I've been doing a lot of work with Livecode and APIs. Here's what I'd suggest doing. Get the API calls working outside of Livecode in a tool designed to let you exercise the API calls. My tool of choice is Postman. Look it up on Google and have at it. There's a bit of a learning curve but once you f...

I have been able to get the GLX framework working again in LC8. Turns out the issue was that I didn't copy the new resources of LC8 into my application's resources for data grid and database. Just posting this incase someone else runs into an issue with move from LC7 to LC8.

I had been using LC 7.1.3 and recently decided to start my move to LC8 series. First step was to take a few of my apps and go to LC 7.1.4. I am running into an issue with an app that "failed to copy" the database bundles to the Mac standalone creating a warning at the end of the standalone process. ...

I'm happy to announce that version 1.1.0 of the fastJSON library is now available. This version cleans up some of the commenting that I had in the code, plus adds in some nice improvements from "madpink" and "mwieder". You will also see the library is now LC8 friendly as a script only stack. I have ...

I will and I will post the reply that I receive.

It's been more than a year since the start of the Create It with Livecode course, 1 App in the past 6 (or more?) months and a continued LACK OF COMMUNICATION by the Livecode Team on an expected completion path for the course materials. For how important this course appears to be to Livecode the comp...

I decided to have a look at LC8 dp15 to see how the progress has been since I last used it (some time ago). First thing I thought I'd try was to make a Datagrid table. Didn't get too far as it's very different than prior versions. Is there any documentation on how Datagrids work in LC8? What I was h...

I'm curious what everyone is using for their code snippets. Personally I am looking for something to handle Livecode, Revigniter, JS, HTML, CSS and PHP based code. I'm currently using a Google Drive/Docs directory and file structure (not perfect but it does keep me a little organized) but I'm curiou...
