Thanks for the offer of help, Richard. I am rather far along on a workaround now, so let me see that through. If I remain stuck after that, I will contact you.

Thanks all.

I'm not coding in the past entirely. I have an Indy license and do build in 8.x on the Mac side, so I can deliver 64-bit standalones. But I put a high value on stability and I've found LC 7.1.4 on Windows will run my codebase with very few issues. One of these days, however, something is sure to com...

Richards and Bogs,

Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi Livecoders, I have a palette substack that often overlays and blocks the dialog windows created by calling the built-in answer command. When this happens, the answer dialog window cannot be brought forward and the palette window cannot be dragged out of the way. The only way out in many cases is ...

Hi, That dialog message is as bit misleading. It says look for the ~ backup file. But the ~ is actually added to the very end of the extension part of the file name, not at the front. And that trailing ~ can be easy to miss, especially since the file will probably no longer show the LC icon. So, tak...

Sorry, missed that detail.
Thanks for the stack.

Hi,

When I run the test, there is no change to the image. (Windows 10, LC 7.1.4). No errors. A processed image does appear, but it is not grayscale, blurred or otherwise changed.

Is there some other requirement to running this?

Thanks,
Tom B.

Hi,

Instead of "read from socket theIP until return" use some other character to mark the end of your message and read until that character appears.

Msg of Line 1 CR
LINE 2 CR
LINE 3*

And fetch that with "read from socket theIP until * with "newMessage"

Better?

Is the font included in the Copy Files pane of standalone settings? Yes, it is. I have confirmed the font loads and works because when the app is not in the Applications folder, the icons that use the font appear as expected. The only time the font fails to load and display is when the same app is ...

Hi Livecoders. I have an odd Mac standalone issue. I use FontAwesome for some icons, and those icons fail to appear only when the standalone is run from inside the Mac Applications folder. The app is codesigned as a third-party developer ID using AppWrapper and verified. It is not for App Store dist...

Thanks for that point, Hermann. I'll rollback to 9.0.0-dp7.

Tom Bodine

Right you are, Richard. That was in 9.0.0-dp11. For others interested in this, it now works to use Load URL "https://www.mysite.com/myfile.txt" with message "callBackHandler" Then load the file data with... on callBackHandler pURL, pStatus if pStatus is "cached" then put URL pURL into myVar else if ...

Hi Livecoders.

I need an HTML5 app to load a text file of questions from the same domain that hosts the app. I read in this forum that "get url" methods are not supported yet in HTML5.

Is there an alternative to "url" to load a simple text file?

Thanks,
Tom B.

Tom, thanks, are you referring to exporting as MP3? I resampled to 16 bit 44.1khz and then exported to MP3, still distorted.

I've "cured" the distortion in both wav and mp3 files using those settings. I am using a Player object in LC 7.x to play the audio. I'm on Windows (no QT installed).

Tom

Hi,
I have found these settings produce audio files that play without distortion for LC on desktop machines:
16-bit, 44100 Hz sample rate, mono.

Better?

Tried various settings, output from Audacity and other MP3s I have.
