Re: Trouble with export image

Since writing the query below, I realise that sometimes 'export' doesn't export: it produces an (undocumented) result "can't open file" which seems inappropriate. I had somehow messed up the file path and hadn't noticed. There was a different problem with the framing of the image - hard to track

Re: Oval Bug in iOS

Apparently there is little interest in this obscure behavior, but for the record, ovals with line sizes of about 30 or more show a small empty sector at about the 3 o’clock position in iOS. In previous posts, I thought this problem was related to my script used to incrementally grow rings. Not

Has anybody run into this problem?

I have a number of fields that I am using the closeField and exitField handlers to do calculations after the user enters numbers in the fields. The Problem I am running into is that the closeField and exitField handlers do not work on the very last field when the user clicks directly on a butto

Dean, I tried the traveralOn for the button but it did not work. I then substituted the new textChanged for a closeField handler and it worked! I am using LC 5.5.2 for the first time. Do you think it is wise to only use the textChanged handler and delete the closeField and exitField handlers for e

Yes this is "normal" behavior for a Mac. There is a workaround. In the button (or any button that the user might click) enter: focus on nothing You can even have a mouseUp handler in the frontscript that does it for you and passes the mouseUp message. Bob On Sep 25, 2012, at 10:32 AM, Charl

Show/Hide problem persists

Hi Again, In previous builds I had no trouble with this code but I do have a problem with my Mac and v5.5.2. It's really strange that after executing a show or hide in a button script it exits to the top. Nothing further is seen. Here's the strange part though. If I use a keyDown command to

According to the documentation http://developer.android.com/reference/android/inputmethodservice/Keyboard.html#getHeight() it doesn't looks like it should be that hard to implement... ...so maybe someone at Runrev could explain why they are "not able to resolve the bug at this point in time." :

Perhaps, but I like the fact that if there is a focus border on a field, focus on nothing turns it off. Seems cleaner to me. Bob On Sep 25, 2012, at 11:56 AM, Charles Szasz wrote: > Bob, > > Thanks! Can you also use select empty as well? > > Charles Szasz > csz...@mac.com > > > > > > _

Format Accented Characters for URL?

artificially causing a field to be left in a script

TO avoid pounding the database, my card full of data fields only saves data if any has changed. This is done by closeField setting a flag. However, if someone changes data in one field, but then clicks to go on to the next data, closefield is never reached. If I can send a tab to the field with

Thanks so much Dave -- that seems to work. I discovered I was also encoding a parameter along with the URL which was part of the problem, but your routine solved the character issue. Thanks & Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX Design On 9/25/12 4:26 PM, "Dave Cragg" wr

Hi. I have a nagging feeling I am missing what you want. When you say "clicks to go to the next data", what do you mean? I thought your issue was leaving a field without changing its contents, which would indicate the use of "exitField", whereas "closeField" is sent only when the field cont

Hi, again. But if you change the contents of a field, and then leave the card, closeField is sent. I made a field, and put this into its script: on closeField put random(99) && the target end closeField I typed into the field, and then left the card (via CMD-3). A number appears in the
