Scripting

[steveRedMinnow]

Has the Scripting Privilege been removed in version 6 of Signage Studio? This was a HUGE reason we moved to this platform!

The scripting will be back soon as we are re-factoring the feature.
However I believe most can now be achieved with events and conditional statements in 6.0.
You using the scripting already? And what are you trying to achieve so we can assist.

Thanks for responding. That is good to hear that it will be back. Is there a timeframe for this?

After an extensive review of yours and other services, we made the decision last week to use your system. So I do not have any code in use at the moment. However, I have been an AS3 programmer since it came out and was very excited about the possibilities of adding functionality with it. I will definitely use scripting for timers but have wilder thoughts as well, including connecting to a local SQLite database. I have done no testing in that regards, and it may be outside of the capabilities of the system.

We were also excited about the possibility of creating custom components that integrate with the system, but it appears that you removed that capability a while back, correct? It is sometimes difficult to understand what is still within the system and what is not, since you have a tremendous amount of legacy posts in the forum. Do you have a roadmap available for the system? It would be great to see where you are headed as well as what items have been deprecated.

Thanks!

so I spoke to the dev team, what we have done in release 6.0 is make custom dev a lot more powerful.

option 1: removed the scripting and instead introduced a custom module with full access to the entire API in AS3, we will have a sample project that you can use to create any application or component you like with this new feature, all in AS3

option 2: new HTML5 based dev env based on the latest Google node web kit engine and we will provide a sample project built on top of the new latest version of Google's Angular framework

Both of these features will be introduced at the final release stage of mediaCLOUD 6.0

hope this helps

Has this functionality been implemented yet, now that we have 6.0 release candidate? If not, is there a timeframe for this?

Thanks in advance!

scripting will be part of a new engine that will be introduced via StudioLite API.
I do not have an ETA as we are still working to get 6.0 to final release.

[steveRedMinnow]

StudioLite and not StudioPro? That seems interesting, since there is so much more available in Pro. Will it eventually be available in Pro as well?

[admin]

you mean in Lite? slowly we will be adding more features... but the idea is to keep Lite... well lite and simple!

[steveRedMinnow]

you are the one that mentioned that it would be in the StudioLite API:

<Your post> scripting will be part of a new engine that will be introduced via StudioLite API.

 I was kind of stunned that it would be added in StudioLite and not StudioPro since Lite is supposed to be just that.

[admin]

well not lite really, but just pure API
