OK. So I decided to bypass revBrowser altogether and just use an rtf version of the text in a Livecode field. Thanks for the help, sturgis.

Mac's OK. Windows no go.

Many thanks, sturgis. I benefit from your experience.

I'm finding this reference to "the system" interesting (e.g., a copyKey not handled by the app will be handled by the system). Shouldn't the simple statement "send copyKey in 0 milliseconds" achieve the same result as calling the AppleScript?

OK. I was able to copy selected PDF text to the clipboard using the menu in a compiled app (no need to go the AppleScript route), but wondered whether I could achieve this using code, bypassing the menu. I imagined that the menu was trapping the copyKey command and (as it should) copying the selecti...

OK. So, given I need an edit menu, is there a way I can "trigger" the copy item of that menu using code? That way, I would have a cross-platform solution that wouldn't require applescript or the Windows equivalent.

I'm getting this to work in the IDE (Mac), but not in a standalone. Any thoughts?

Many thanks, sturgis. I wish I'd known I couldn't access it directly before I started down this road, but a workaround is just that - it works, and that's OK.

Does anyone know whether revBrowserGet(id, "selected") will get selected text from a pdf? It keeps coming up "no selection" for me.

Live Code's "multimedia" page online says "Visual transition effects include QuickTime effects, Core Image Effects (e.g. page curl on OS X machines) and built-in transitions." However, the 5.5.1 documentation on page curls (under "visual" in the dictionary), seems to limit the page curl effect to io...

Klaus and Dave,

Many thanks!

I'm using an html form (via revBrowser) to request a user name and password, which I then POST to a server-side script to verify an account. That script echoes "verified" back to the html form in my Livecode app. Is there an easy way to determine what was echoed back to the revBrowser?

OK. I got it, now. The php script on the server contains all the "hard-coded" info, and the app calls that with the user's values.

There still remain "hard-coded" values, though, right (i.e., the "http://www.myserver.com/connect.php" files and such-like)?

Many thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I'm still a bit at sea, though. Are you saying doesn't there have to be, somewhere in my app, the name of the external database, the username, and the password?
