Re: "browserLoadRequest" for Android???

Two items: 1. Can you use the message browserStartedLoading to look at the URL, pull out the information you need, and decide whether you want to reset the URL? I am sure it would be ugly, but maybe combined with a lock screen? 2. Doesn't your browserLoadRequest code example require a "pass browserL...

Re: Javascript sending message to Livecode

I found the answer over in this post . The basic answer is that Javascript cannot speak to Livecode because it appears to be out of its context, but it can speak to the browser. The browser in turn can communicate with Livecode through the event messages it passes to Livecode to handle. I had though...

Javascript sending message to Livecode

I found the example of Livecode calling a Javascript function with "do", but I was wondering if there is some way for Javascript to send a message to Livecode, where I could then write a handler to process it. Here is the background: Firebase has a REST API, which I have successfully accessed from L...

Re: Writing Multiple Encoded Arrays to a File

I believe the other forum I posted to is one in which only a limited number of people have access to, and is for posting questions to a course I paid for (unless I was on the wrong forum). From that question I am hoping to get an official answer from RunRev, specifically in the Wednesday Q&A live se...

Re: Whaat is Livecode realy good for besides mobile apps???

Have you looked at Quartum's blog? http://quartam.blogspot.com/ They have some sophisticated data analytics for Livecode developers. How about the Livecode apps blog? http://livecode1001.blogspot.com/ That gives you a better idea on just what people are showcasing. Only interested in the commercial ...

Writing Multiple Encoded Arrays to a File

I realize this is not exactly a "Complete Beginners" question, but there is no "Intermediate" board (why is that?), so... My application has several arrays of data and I would like to write it out to a file and read it back in when I open the application back up. I understand the basics of encoding ...

Re: How does one monetise LC apps ?

Not sure I should reply to this as I am not one of the Livecoders that is actually making money by selling my software ... That caveat aside, I still don't understand what Livecode has to do with this (or how you perceive it does). How do you market your app? It really depends on the market segment ...

Did my order make it through? After paying Paypal would not return to your site. My email is dale underscore hurtt at yahoo dot com. If not, I need to back out the transaction and try again.

Thanks in advance.

Re: variable declarations and scope

if a variable declaration has an assignment and it's in a loop to my mind it would make more sense if the engine re-assigned the value each iteration repeat local tIndex = 1 -- should reset tIndex to 1 each iteration repeat add 1 to tIndex end repeat end repeat Wow! I did not realize that it didn't.

Re: Lost some color highlighting

Thanks. I reset the defaults and it came back. I changed one option that I forgot I had previously: I changed the script editor's font. Apparently some fonts (like Lucida Console) do not do black bold for the keywords while others do (Courier New works fine).

Re: How does one monetise LC apps ?

How does one / what do you people think is the best way / how have you people managed to ... monetise a LiveCode app ? Good question. One in which I am also exploring. I guess the question back is why do you think monetizing an application developed with Livecode is any different than, say, develop...

Re: Lost some color highlighting

Even reinstalling did not help. I am beginning to suspect this is an issue with 6.5, or at least the Commercial version. Can anyone verify whether the words "on", "if", "else", etc. are highlighted with bold and black for either Community version 6.5 or Commercial version 6.5?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have noticed this too. I have been creating all of my content down the necessary size to display the status bar. The "shorter" card method does not appear to work.

Lost some color highlighting

I have noticed that a lot of the keywords are no longer colored, specifically "on", "if", "then", "else", etc. but other keywords are fine. I have the Preferences for the Script Editor set to "Default" in the Colorization option and I see the yellows, greens, and purples, I just no longer see the ke...

Re: revMobile: built in?

The code in that stack breaks. As soon as you load it, it dumps you into the debugger. By "doesn't work" I meant the field did not appear. So I started simpler still. I created a new stack with a Create button and a field placeholder (a graphic so I would know where the rectangle would be). I put "a...
