Sending email with enclosures on Android

Is anyone able to include multiple enclosures in an email on Android using file references? I'm getting zero byte enclosures. It works if I send all the text as a "data" type but then on some phones the email client crashes (I suspect memory issues.) I'm hoping if I change to referenced files

Re: Animations on iOS

Hi Ben, If you are trying to do a background animation with a looped movie, I found the smoothest way was to put one image on each card, and then loop through the cards. This eliminates the load time problem when going to the card because it’s just one image that’s loading, not a bunch, and they

Re: Animations on iOS

I think it was Scott Rossi that figured out a way to play an animation by storing images as text in custom properties, then load each image in turn into an image object. I would imagine this may be limited to smaller less complex animations, but up until now I hadn’t tried it myself, so I had a

Re: LC 7.1 possible bug

Not an answer to your issue, but instead a construction suggestion. It sounds like you're creating the numbered ovals as groups. If so, you can instead use oval graphics by themselves to accomplish the same result, by setting the showName of the oval to true and setting the label property of the

Hi Richmond, There's no explicit limitation on the number of objects beyond 'available memory' so it won't be anything like that. Things to check: Does the problem happen in 6.7? Does the problem happen in 8? What are the names of the images you have generated? How many images are needed to bre

If you have an animation made in Flash, you can export it as HTML5 Canvas, and then the animation would play in a browser object. If you do have to do video, dig out your old copy of QuickTime Player 7, then you can have any aspect ratio you like. ___
