Loading files in iPad

I'm trying to get my app into iPad using revMobil. I load the plugin, put the folder of files into the directory but when the app comes up in the simulator none of the files are accessed. The buttons all work and the text not accessed by files show, but none of the images,audio or text files are

Dial with USB modem

Back in the days when I was using a serial modem, I developed several stacks which included dialing phone numbers using write to file modem. How might Revolution write to a built in USB modem on a Mac G4 to dial phone numbers as is done in apps such as ABDialer and Dialetic? thanks, Phil

Re: [OT] Post Conference Fun Stuff

Also... As if you didn't already have enough to do, 30 April 2011 is the 24th annual Tech Challenge day at The Tech Museum in San Jose. Even if there weren't a special event happening it's an easy place to spend a whole day wandering around getting lost among all the exhibits. http://www.thetech.

Re: combobox

My experience with combo boxes is that they are weird beasts and the documentation is, as you say, sadly lacking. In scripts they sometimes report themselves as fields and sometimes as buttons and of course they are both but I had a hell of a time figuring out when they reported themselves as o

Re: bullet chars in Linux?

Yes. When I do this in OO under Linux, nothing happens. But if you make an html file in linux with the entries shown and then display it in a browser, you do get bullets. Dunno. There is something about unicode in wikipedia, and it also claims you can press control + shift in Gtk+ apps. Doesn'

bullet chars in Linux?

On Mac and Win, using $#149; in htmlText produces a bullet char. In Linux, however, that gets rendered as a non-renderable character (the rectangle with numbers in it in Ubuntu). When I paste a block of text that has a bullet in it into a field and get the htmlText, the bullet is shown to be "•"

combobox

OK, comboboxes appear to be rather complicated and I'm stumped. As a user types into a combobox I use on rawKeyUp keyCode to notice that a new character has been added to the combobox. I then do a database search to see all the data that matches the characters currently in the combobox. I t

The project, called revShare, was commissioned by David Johnson, and as such, is his property. You may try and contact him directly to find out more.

Re: SQL and other databases

Ditto to all that. The Rev manual section 2.2.8 talks about when to use a database. Their rule of thumb is to go database when you have more than 2000 records or need to allow multiple users to access/update information at the same time. Pete Haworth On Mar 20, 2011, at 1:57 PM, Kee Nethery

Maybe I'm a bit naive when it comes to databases, but I have all the children and their parents and so on, in a database that consists of a Livecode stack and nothing else. But then, in 1989 I had all the kids at Madrasa Emirat al-Khasa school, Al Ain, UAE in a database written and run on my BBC

Re: Sort of OT: mysql and select from two tables...?

Bit late to the game on this but it sounds like you need an option menu populated with the teacher names to allow the teachers to select themselves or another teacher. You'd need to keep track of the teacher_id for each option menu entry so you could grab it in a menuPick handler and use it in

iOS iPhone Retina splash image

Hi folks My iPhone app uses a 960x640 .png as the splash screen image. In the standalone settings, I have the status bar set to visible, and the status bar style to default. The image appears but after a second or two it suddenly stretches vertically. What am I doing wrong? Cheers Gerry -
