Ah. Um. It's rather embarrassing to have to admit it, but I had screwed up editing the .plist file. :oops: I'd put the new data between a key and its associated string, which broke it, making the app never finish launching. It turns out that both those .plist additions work, although it's worth noti...

Wow, thanks Craig! I mourn slightly for the loss of the old inter-application communication method, but this does look pretty exciting. Thanks very much for the links, they looks very useful!

Hmm. Thanks! So that entry in the Dictionary should be marked as no longer supported. :-/

Anyone have tips on getting up to speed with sockets?

I've been tinkering with the 'send to program' command, but I'm getting precisely nowhere when I try to do this across a network. I know the odds are that I'm getting something wrong, but I'm starting to wonder if it's possible at all. In the Dictionary's details for this command it talks about Appl...

Heh. Great suggestions - stuff that'll keep my learning nice and curved too. ;) Sorry I didn't get back to y'all on this, I got distracted with a few other LC projects. I'll try this again shortly. It's an attempt to make the dice game "5000", largely as a learning exercise. So I'll try all the abov...

I'd like to make an app that runs on my Mac but doesn't add its icon to the Dock. I did this years ago using ResEdit in Mac OS 9 (told you it was years ago!), and I've found a couple of prompts for doing this in Mac OS X by editing an app's info.plist file and adding a couple of lines, but when I tr...

I have a string of numbers that I'd like to match against a list of different numbers. Currently the list is in a two-words-per-line form, with the first word being the 'thing to match' and the second word being a score that this combination gets, for example: 1111 1100 1115 1050 1155 300 1555 600 5...

So many oddities... When I open my stack I sometimes get a 'can't find handler' error, pointing at the libURLftpUploadFile line: libURLftpUploadFile tFileForUpload, tDestination, "uploadComplete" But other times it runs fine with no error, and uploads. The difference appears to be based on whether o...

Hmm. I have the release notes PDF open - "LiveCode 6.1.0-rc-1 Release Notes 6/24/13" - but there's nothing in here about video. I'm now wondering whether I should install 6.0.x instead of the RC1 build of 6.1.

Thanks again Klaus! Just to make sure, I put 'in 60' as the send delay. It's starting to send me spinning in circles: it seems to work, but not consistently. Which means I need to track down what the variable is that's causing this. Variable in the non-code sense of course...

Thanks Klaus – I seem to have forgotten a little more than I realised! It's been quite some time since I used Rev... I mean LiveCode. :) Unfortunately, I'm still stuck. After some efforts, I took a copy of the original Video Capture example stack, set its Standalone Application Settings to include t...

I've poked into the Video Capture example stack and want to make something that grabs a still image, uploads it to a predetermined FTP location, then launches the URL in a browser. I have this working fine in LiveCode, but I just can't figure out how to get it functioning in a standalone. In the Sta...

Hi, I've imported a short audio file (AIFF) as a control. On the Mac, when I play this either by name or audioClip number reference, it plays fine. When I test this in the simulator or on my iPhone the audio doesn't play. I'm probably missing something simple - could someone give me a nudge in the r...

1. I think "revVideoGrabSettings" will also contain the source of the video, so switching by script with "revSetVideoGrabSettings" should "restore" the input, too. Hmm. Well, it seems that, contrary to my surface-level attempts at logic, Rev/LiveCode doesn't play ball in this way; it doesn't let me...

I wondered whether that might be an issue. Two devious (and hence probably futile) ideas occured to me... (1) Can selecting the cam source be controlled by script? (2) Alternatively, could multiple copies of a standalone be made to work with different cam inputs at the same time, or is the input sel...
