Hi Guys, I am looking for a way to have a process (video cut) to happen when the "a" key is pressed but a different process (video fade) to happen if the "a" key is held down for a period of time (say 50ms.) I have been looking at the keysdown function and making a repeat loop but I can't get anythi...

Hi Guys,

that fixed the problem... thanks FourthWorld... your a champ...
Any reason that this works with LiveCode when developing and testing but not when it is stand alone?

I tried to use code to open port 443 (https port)
Still did not work. Is this a bug in LiveCode?

OK it looks like I am getting an error

error socket is not open.

Any ideas how to fix?

Hi Guys, I have built a scoreboard controller that pulls statistics from a Google Docs Stats Sheet url. The game it is intended for starts in 10 minutes. My code works fine in my livecode installation that I programmed it in: test code: field T2StatURL on mouseUp put 2 into myVar answer url field "T...

Yeah... go it working.. More info on CasparCG forum here: http://casparcg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1467

Hi Guys,

Still looking for a solution for this... any wiser heads than me can see if this is a bug or something I am doing?

If I can't fix this I will have to look for other Program language to use and potentially leave the livecode family

I am back trying to slay this dragon of a serial problem... I am starting to think it is a LiveCode bug / fault... Using RS232 DataLogger http://www.eltima.com/products/rs232-data-logger/ I get really clean serial data: Ú22 00A12200 Þ Ú23 00A12300 Þ Û 41 00B 4100 Þ Û 42 00B 4200 Þ Ü2049T20.9 Ü2048T2...

Anyone? We cannot have this. Carriage returns rampaging....

I agree... well said Craig!

Hi Craig, Thanks again for your help... I understand what you mean... I guess I am having trouble breaking up the lines of the data coming in correctly... I have been using "read from file thePort until CR" as far as I can see this is the problem as LiveCode (or my serial data) is occasionally putti...

Hi Craig, Thank you for your input! The number of characters will always be the same... the time is always TXX:XX or T56.3 The score is always AXXX or B101... Unfortunately the serial data is not always in the same line structure... I get a time update every 1/2 a second with the lines: Ì»Ü19<09T19:...

OK... I seem to have something working: on readPort if the hilite of btn "Port open" = true then put the label of btn "Port" into thePort read from file thePort until CRLF if it contains "A" then put offset ("A", it) into myVar put char myVAR + 1 to myVar + 3 it into field "_ScoreA" else if it conta...

I have tried putting three different functions looking for the different key characters I need to locate... Unfortunately the blocks change depending on when a score is recorded and during the last minute of the game when time goes every 0.1 of a second. I need to find the 3 characters after "A" and...

Hi Guys, I have been able to get the serial data into my LiveCode app. Now I need to extract the actual data that I need from the Serial information. I imagine the way to do this is by manipulating the text and specifying the "char" that I want to take from the string... The info is from a Basketbal...

Hi Guys...

Adding the ":" got me the data... I now need some kind of read loop as the application crashes if I try to bring in the whole feed at once...

Thank you!
