Re: [ANN] Rel 33 of MasterLibrary is available

Michael: This is a wonderful assortment of handlers and functions. I may have missed some of the intentions for the library. Is this also a personal handler management library also? Do we add our own commonly used handlers? Are these ultimately incorporated into the library, which I imagine woul

Re: If you don't read the forums

Folks: When Director added new code styles, it used a property called “scriptExecutionStyle” which you could set to maintain some older statements. One of the problems with just using older versions is that there may be critical unfixed bugs and the dev team wouldn’t want to be required to spend

Speaking of XML, what about KML?

I’m about to build a parse to retrieve country outline data from a KML file. This seems straightforward, but just wondering if there is a handler posted someplace for this. Basically, I’ll parse out the lat/lon outlines, then render it onto a map using my own methods. If there is none, then I’l

Long KML text file with no return chars

Folks: Just wondering. I am reading in a very long text file (2.6Mb and 2.6 million chars) and it has no carriage returns. The “read file until end” statement hangs and goes into the spinning pizza of death on Mac OS Yosemite and LC 7,0,4 and 7.0.3. I used textWrangler to insert hard line breaks

Re: Long KML text file with no return chars

Thanks for the ideas, folks. It seems that the problem was getting breakpoints and the IDE mixed up in this. Without any breakpoints, it reads in the file and processes it into an array using Trevor’s code, in a couple of seconds. It works equally well with both of the ways of reading, the the

Question re large project organization

I have a bunch of stacks that make up a larger application that I’m setting up to be easily expandable. There is a splash stack that loads an index stack, which then loads various other stacks as needed. When I make the standalone, it only encrypts the splash stack. The other stacks are in raw
