Thanks Peter. What i am keen to get a grip on is how we can interface
Livecode exported Javascritp with existing Javascript in a web page.
Are we
going to be stuck with an isolated blob of all Livecode-Javascript in a
page? Or can I make Livecode-Javascript widget that talk to existing
pages?
My thought would be if the core Livecode C++ engine has now been
refactored
so that the language element - separate from all the GUI and even
message
stuff - and that this bit was easy and fast to get exported - then that
would be what we need to create interface independent Javascript
libraries
- let's say a library that takes some JSON and exports some JSON with
the
webpage handling all the rest of the interactions?
How well will these exported Livecode-Javascript apps play within a web
page - what sort of bi-directional communication is being looked at?
Hi David,
We're not actively working towards any of these things at the moment.
*In principle*, they're all ideas that we'd love to get working! In
practice, at the moment we're just trying to get stacks to run properly,
and we're going to think about branching out to these other exciting
possibilities once we get towards that point.
I'm personally quite keen on the idea of figuring out how to compile
LiveCode Builder programs directly to JavaScript, for example!
This is definitely the sort of thing that enthusiastic community members
could play with, once we release the Community edition of HTML5 support.
Peter
