[ANN] video picking and editing added to mergExt

Post by monte » Mon Feb 27, 2012 1:37 am

Hi LiveCoders

The mergExt suite of externals has grown again! The top pick on our poll was movie picking, recording, editing and saving and so we have added a new external (mergAV) to our lineup. More details on mergAV and a fresh poll with the highest ranked and new user contributed external ideas are available at http://mergext.com. Vote now for what you want next!

Regards

Monte Goulding

How about a modal pick-wheel that allows you to select a couple dozen RGB colors from the pick-wheel. Like shown in the attached photo on my earlier post.

Also how about some type of external that would allow web pages opened up in IOS safari to execute java script embed in their HTML. Simple stuff like set the scroll top of the web page to an HTML anchor embed in the HTML when the page loads.

Thanks,
Dave

I think that may be too specific a use case for me to justify the development time on. I do have mergAnswerColor already but it looks like you only want the user to have a limited color selection. It might be possible to emulate using livecode controls alternatively you could contact me off list and we could discuss some consulting.

I'm not really clear here on what you want that uiwebview isnt giving you. Do you want to be able to execute JavaScript or interact with the Dom from livecode? If so its probably going to be quickest to push runrev to implement stringbyevaluatingjavascript as externals have no way to find the webview by name or Id. In other words if this were done as an external then it would need to implement the whole uiwebview control just so we could add this one line command. It gives me an idea though. I think I'll ask on the dev list if we can have a function to return the native control by name or Id.
