LiveCode Forums

It wasn’t slow for me, but the tree was much smaller than 100 keys. You can see it in a live app in the App Store if you download SivaSiva and go to the Stories module. Even though that project is in hiatus the code is all available.

I think I had this pretty much sorted out in SivaSiva. I have not looked at the code in over a year, but the stories module behavior script and the mobile controller behavior script are the two key places. I'll try to provide some more helpful code references this weekend. The key difference is that...

It is certainly possible to write a script that will export a stack into a script only form. Certain things would make the process more complex. If you count on object IDs being a certain value for example. Another issue is any binary objects (images…) - do you want to reference files or include the...

I worked with SivaSiva that had a similar issue (although mainly was reducing app size). The approach that was used there was the file based one. A zip file was prepared with the assets and it was downloaded after the app installed. Once downloaded, the files were extracted and the zip file deleted....

You are not missing anything. The sub-array is the value. You can’t have both a scalar value and a sub-array value.

Ok, I understand now. You want an equivalent to the LCB

Wouldn’t that just be calling the handler directly? Are you wanting to do some work in the widget before passing the message for possible additional work outside?

A while back I created a tool (DocEditorPlus) with Mark’s help (Widget Wizard) that let you parse the LCDOC files into a viewable format in your browser. It can also let you parse the docs out of your LCB files to check how they look without having to do a full build of the widget. https://github.co...

Does anyone know the relationship between these: https://livecode.com/resources/api/ https://milby.us/lc/docs/api.html and the inbuilt Dictionary inwith the IDE? Short answer is that it is static at the version I used to export the data. I’m hesitant to run the export on the commercial/licensed ver...

If Kindle can run Android apps then it should be able to run LC Android standalones. Can you sideload apps on a Kindle?

Have not tried recently but I did have an app I built loaded to my Kindle back at the San Jose conference.

Glad to hear you solved the issue. Did you stick with letterbox or change to none?

I’ve downloaded the stack and observed the issue. Hopefully I will get some time to work with it over the next few days. My initial solution didn’t pan out though (trying to figure out global coordinates for the scroller). I think you should be able to set the fullscreenmode upon arriving at the car...

There was a thread about this type of issue on the list a while back. I can't test right now, but this is what was used as part of the solution:

I can’t get on my computer to look right now but the problem that you are running into is that the mobile scroller uses the actual screen coordinates which becomes a math problem when using any fullscreenmode. Best way, in my opinion, is to write a resizeStack handler to adjust the layout.

Very correct. Internally, RETURN, LINEFEED, LF, and CR are synonyms that all evaluate to ASCII 10. It does not really matter when within LiveCode though (text in fields). When you import text into LC, the line delimiter is changed to 10 and that is what LC uses. When you save text, the value is chan...
