Hi Charles,
Since the iPhone scroller is invisible, you can always set the hScroll and the
vScroll to 0 whenever your card opens. Use the regular LiveCode properties to
reset the scroll values and positions of your objects whenever your card opens.
If you set both the scroll of the iPhone objec

Here is the problem I am trying to solve:
1) the user takes a picture where the picture is larger than the screen.
2) the user needs to both scroll the picture and resize it with pinch to zoom
3) once the correct pa
Hi Mark,
I thought that if you ran a headless version of livecode that normal put
statements go to stdout. This seems to be what is happening when I look at

I may not be understanding your question properly.

If you don't have cat, you can pipe it to 'more' as well, and that works

Hmm ok, first run its low, after that it seems to be reliably fast (and

Hi Graham,

alternative rather than answering your question.

Many thanks Thomas. This is a big help.
Did you do any experiments with doing pinch to zoom and scrolling? I am
wondering the relationship between the scroller messages and the touch

delayTouches and scrollingEnable

Hi Bill,
What happens if you get the file using "binfile" instead of "file"? And then you
might have to monkey with unidecode() or something. I bet Devin Asay can tell

Seems to me "binfile" would prevent any char translation, though it would also

Who needs it if you have LiveCode? You would not need to be tied to Apple ULA

What would be great is if LiveCode of a LiveCode developer turned around and
