Codea 3.2.6 (242)

Beta
41

@dave1707 - quick query for you, tried to get an asset list from a folder in my Dropbox storage and Codea, this line crashed Codea - error report posted.


flist = assetList("asset.documents.Dropbox.images",SPRITES)

What I am trying to do is create lists of several directories on Dropbox - of SPRITES. So that I can select them with parameters - folder and file, using the new asset addressing.

The rest of the code just tried to display the selected sprite.

@Bri_G Are you trying to do something like this.

viewer.mode=STANDARD

function setup()   
    file={  asset.documents.all,
            asset.documents.Craft.all,
            asset.documents.Examples.all,
            asset.documents.Templates.all,
            asset.builtin.all,
            asset.documents.Craft.Voxel_Editor.all,
            asset.documents.Craft.Froggy.all,
            asset.documents.Dropbox.all,
        }
    str={   "asset.documents.all",
            "asset.documents.Craft.all",
            "asset.documents.Examples.all",
            "asset.documents.Templates.all",
            "asset.builtin.all",

end

function touched(t)
    if t.state==MOVING then
        dy=dy+t.deltaY
        if dy<-30 then
            dy=-30

        if dx>0 then
            dx=0
        end
    end
end

function nameOnly(name)
    st=string.find(name,".",1,true)
    if st then
        return string.sub(name,1,st-1)
    end
    return name

@dave1707 - not exactly, something not too far removed and much simpler. Seems like I always try to make things far too complicated. Thanks for the prompt reply - I’ll start again using your example. Thanks again.
