Thank you, shaosean. That little parameter fix does it! Works like a charm. Your assistance and that of others who chimed in is greatly appreciated!

shaosean, Actually, your thought to simply embed the html code rather than to fuss with files seems to be the most elegant solution, although a decrypt/encrypt method of exyernal files would nevertheless be good to know, e.g., for running more involved html files with associated files such as graphi...

User guide for encrypt refers to Rev Online which provides the synax: encrypt source using cipher with [password|key] passorkey[and salt saltvalue] [and IV IVvalue] [at bit ] I've tried this syntax in various ways and cannot get it to work on an external file. I would want to encrypt the external ht...

I've tried about everything suggested but can't seem to get it to work. Writing to temp folder still leaves files exposed; use of htaccess appears to involve some server side component which I do not want or need for a local standalone application; couldn't develop working code to encrypt, run and d...

Thanks everyone. The suggestions and what was found in the dictionary for encrypt / decrypt look very promising and I’m reasonable optimistic that I’ll be able to develop a solution. Will report back with it when I do, however, got called away and won’t be able to get back to this for a week or two....

I'll have to research how to code your suggestion but will give it a try. For now, at least you've provided me with hope that what I'm looking to do can be done -- at least to some extent. If I'm understanding your suggestion correctly, utilization of temporary folders during runtime would, I think,...

I’m at a crossroad in development of an application that I would ideally like to roll out muti-platform in order to broaden the market. The application includes several calculating html files that are called by the LiveCode application and run in revBrowser stacks therein. I don’t know of a way to c...

As a final follow-up to this post, I wish to clarify the intent and use of use of a simplified revBrowser for displaying local html files and to submit simplified code for us in that intent. I want to embed complex spreadsheets made from Excel and converted to calculating Html files via ExcelEverywh...

All, Got it to work using suggestion from Klaus. Following is the code, albeit very old code except for the modifications made in on openstack, Thank you Klaus. Note: The local html file being opened is in a folder named "Called Files" in the directory containing the .rev file. The file name is "HTM...

Klaus, Thank you very much! I'll play around with those suggestions and report back for the benefit of all. Meanwhile, since you indicated that the code I was using is outdated from when the Browser external was not yet part of LiveCode, can you post or send me directly at mebtrek@yahoo.com a more c...

I want to use rev Browser and call and open within a stack various html files that reside on the local computer, not on the Internet. I’ve been able to do this only by hard coding the exact file path / filename in the Custom Properties of the browser stack. I’m looking for code that can be used to o...

That wraps it up. Thanks to all of you!

That's not quite what I was describing. The "lanch" command does work to run the executable but the run occurs outside of the LiveCode app. I was looking for a way for the run to occur within a LiveCode card, similar to how an html file can run within a card using RevBrowser.

I got local html files to open in a card using RevBrowser (see LiveCode sample app "Browser Sampler) and adjusting the button code for the address & file name. This will provide the nifty functionality of displaying calculating html fils made by Spreadsheet Converter frm within a card. Still no joy ...

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my lack of specificity. I would like to display local html files selected from a pick list one at a time in a web browser region (or better multiple instances in regions) inside a card or cards. I played around with revBrowser but couldn't get anything to work rig...
