AE3 and revlets

[niconiko]

Malte,

Any advise on getting AE3 and revlets working together?

Here's what I tried for my stack.


In the preOpenstack:

Code: Select all

    if "animationengine" is not in the stacksinuse then 
        start using stack "animationengine"
    end if

In the standalone settings:

- checked on "Select inclusions for the standalone settings"

- clicked "Add stack files" to add "animationEngine"

- under the "Web" tab...
(i) I first tried checking on "Auto-detect". But during the standalone build process, got a series of errors results
(ii) I instead checked on "Use these settings" and then guessed/selected "Disk", "Network", and "Stack"


After the revlet was created and it started, the first card of my stack appears and that's it. The revlet seems to just hang. The standalone works fine, though.

Thank you.

Oops! Ignore my last message.

The revlet does work! I think what happened was my browser cached a previous version of the revlet. I restarted the browser and the newer version of my revlet worked.

Hi,

you indeed have to go the (ii) way. As animationengine is password protected, rev can not search it for inclusins or required permissions. Thus the error you see. However there is nothing in ae3 that requires any permissions or externals or rev libs. I have asked a couple of times to have a property that tells the standalone builder to look elsewher (and thus skip the protected stack), this has not yet happened and maybe might not happen any time soon, unless there will be enough people requesting it. i believe Jaque has created a bugzilla entry about the same issue. Maybe it is worth digging that up and adding some votes there.

All the best,

Malte

A few months later...

For "Use these settings", had to also select "Process" and "Shell" (as well as "Disk", "Network", and "Stack").

Hi,

well, this has nothing to do with AE. This should have to do with other features in your stack. AE does not depend on any of the security settings.

Cheers,

How do we get animationEngine 4 to work with Livecode >= 4, when LiveCode no longer allows you to select "Stack" in the Web security Settings?

Thanks

Duh! Nevermind. I always forget that we have to make our revlet stack the MAINSTACK of animationEngine.
Choosing "Stack" in the web security settings is no longer needed or possible.

Thanks
