Thanks!

Sorry for the typos. Posting at 3:00 am in the morning is not always best practice...

While I've been using my mac for 6 years, I only briefly tried Applescript as a workaround late last year, while waiting for Atelier beta 1.1 to be released. After looking at several books on Applescript and Apple's own Applescript website, it was clear that the only acceptable file naming protocol was the the colon-delimited protocol, of which I posted a working example and has worked several Apple apps.

It was new to me, too, but to my knowledge, this is what mac apps operating in OS X require.

Thanks for the tips.

Because I'm developing using Atelier on mac, rather than Studio in Windows.

As I import projects from Windows/Studio into mac/Atelier, it's not clear where differences might be. I looked through the documentation, but found no examples for this.

In Applescript, and presumably, in Swift, you have to use the colon notation. The documentation I found said this was the standard for OS X applications. This suggests to me that if file is being read by Atelier as an OS X app, you need to use the colon notation. On the other hand, if the file is being read by Atelier at the Apple UNIX level, you need to use UNIX file system notation.

You might be interested to know that not all UNIX commands are available to the apple user, even when signed in as root. Since I don't know which paths the Atelier developers took to make things work, I posted my question.

Hi Joyce,

Thanks for your response. I think I'll be okay on Terminal.

Perhaps my question should be stated as, does one use Launch Configuration or something else to run CSP/Zen apps? If plugins are needed, which one of the plugins offer similar functionality to Studio?

The saw the video, "Concepts of Modern Web Application Design", pointed to many possible new alternatives now available to Cache developers through the use of Eclipse/Atelier. But, those options are far more than I would need, at this time.

I guess I'm looking for the equivalent procedure of pressing function key (<F5>?) in Studio that I can use to immediately run my compiled CSP/Zen code as a browser web page for debugging.

Is there a different video that explains the Atelier version of that <F5> key? I didn't recognize anything like that in the Studio-Atelier equivalent chart.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,

Bob Harris

Much thanks for your responses, though I don't if they apply to the stand-alone version of Atelier, since that has been discontinued. Still, I look forward to checking out the documentation links.

On the other hand, I may just bite the bullet and get the latest Eclipse.

Thanks.

Hi Pravin,

Thanks for your help.

I got the code working and can print out a single line caption on a sprite.

My last question: Do you happen to know if it is possible to print out more than one line of text on a sprite? I've been looking into displaying multiple lines of text in a <svgFrame> and multiple data fields, but I'm not sure how extensively Cache supports the <text> tab from the svg specifications in Zen, at this time, even in a custom component.

I know how to reformat text to fit a given space, but getting the <svgFrame> to auto-expand...if you happen to already know of some ways to do this, that would be great, but you've already been quite helpful, so thanks.

Best,

Bob Harris

Hi Pravin,

When I tried:

I got the following error msg:

The controller seems to be defined. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Hi Pravin,

Thanks for your example code.

For some reason I'm haven't been getting all of the community posts, so that's why the delay in my responses. I'm looking forward to checking this out this weekend.

Best,
