Re: Livecode for Digital Signage

I tested mine on Windows and a Mac, and it is SO much smoother on my Mac. No tearing/shearing, and I tweeked the script a bit more so even at your required speed there's no stuttering. There was a small miscalculation in my script that only showed up with a stutter at high rates of speed. I put th

Thanks Bill! For the first one, that may be a good alternative. I have not tested it but I do appreciate the idea. I'll try it. It complicates the process of updating the text a bit but I may have to figure out a way to automate that part if i can not get the text scrolling smooth. I've had som

Re: OT: why can't I use "tasklist" in the Windows XP Cmd window?

Hi Graham, Try the "qprocess" shell command. I struggled with a similar issue in '09 and discovered this. "tasklist" and "qprocess" should cover most if not all versions of Windows. To kill a task, I believe "tskill" and "taskkill" are your choices for killing a process on Windows. I did so

Re: OT] how to update 2 values in each of 3000 records in MySQL

OK, sounds like you have to update each record individually based on a product code of some sort which I'd guess is probably the primary key. If that's the case, updating should be very fast. Don't know if updating 1 record at a time would be faster than batching the updates into 10/20/30 at a ti

There shouldn't be any problem accessing a mysql database over a network if the administrator has allowed you access to it. Hard to say whether that's "the right way". Updating values in 3000 records shouldn't be a very time consuming activity but as Terry said, it's hard to say without knowing a

I was under the impression you could only update one record at a time in SQL. Sure you can stack queries together and send them all at once (I guess that would be quicker). Is there a limit on the size of a SQL statement? Bob On May 17, 2011, at 11:56 PM, Terry Vogelaar wrote: > Whether you

Re: Livecode for Digital Signage

I see your problem then. In my sample stack, the text display area is 800 pixels wide. Going by the speed you set it to, that means the text is moving 1 pixel every 4 milliseconds. No WONDER you're getting jerky motion. With the 300 speed setting change you made, I could make it smooth by setting

Hi Jim, you might have a look at Jim Hamlyn's autoCue in RevOnline. http://revonline2.runrev.com/stack/489/AutoCue In my experience setting the syncrate below about 8 does not improve movement anymore though this depends on hardware. The cited example has settings for speed and syncrate. Kind r
