iOS initial orientation

I have an iOS app that I want to start up in the current device orientation. There is an initial orientation setting in the standalone builder, but depending on how the user is holding the device, that can be upside down in real life. If so, my app opens upside down and then swivels around 180

Thanks for the heads up Roger. I should know by now that most things that sound too good to be true are too good to be true! I plan on getting an Android tablet at some point, hoping a market leader will emerge. I'll check out the Viewsonic Pete Molly's Revenge

I would have a computer running locally in your office poll for uploaded transactions to your web server. Have the computer download the transaction and process it locally at the speed of Rev. Then upload the result to the web server and have the client poll for the result. You can do a turn

Re: LiveCode FTP Hanging in Some Instances

Hi Andy, Good points, all. isConnected() only checks for an Internet connection and is invoked by the OpenStack handler of a stack that represents the splash screen of the app. I will most definitely include a check for the library stack loading. I suspect it is the culprit. After posting m

Thanks Bob, Another good tip to add to my notebook! Unintended re-initialization can bring disastrous consequences. This, I have discovered. Sigh. Gregory On Mon, Sep 12, 2011, at 1:00 PM, use-livecode-requ...@lists.runrev.com wrote: > One of the things I do to prevent re-initialization

Re: Question About PreOpenStack

One of the things I do to prevent re-initialization of a card or stack is I create a global, and upon successful initialization I set it to true. I check it's value before initializing and only call the initialization handler if the global is not set to true. This has the benefit of being able t

Re: Feeling hemmed-in by the name space?

I like the idea of interacting with the editor like this. The period idea is pretty clever; I'm always having to adjust names. When I first started using Rev some years ago I used the question mark at the end of function names that returned a boolean. However, I read someplace that the use of

Hi Gregory, Your isConnected(), does this just check for an internet connection or does this check for a connection to the ftp server? If the later do you have a mechanism for logging the ftp server reponses? Does you ftp server have a low concurrent users limit?...are the users hitting a connec
