Hi Guys

I've been lurking for a few weeks now as part of getting up to speed with a project I've been handed, which is to create a sockets 'layer' for our company's hard disk audio player, and have hit a small issue.

I was going to package up the classes I've produced in label (panel) controls and use an eval call to stick them into an activity script. Now, the classes I've created are somewhat large and I've hit a limit that in PEP2 a label can only contain just under 32k of data. My main R&D state machine class and related classes are about 50k in size. I tend to comment pretty heavily :)

I realise that I can stick each seperate class into a label, but I was wondering if this is a PEP2 IDE limitation, or an actual limitation of the Pronto's panel controls ?

Cheers

PS - Many many thanks to Barry Gordon for the base modification instructions. Without that modification my face would be black and blue after repeatedly bashing it against my screen.

See Post 8 at:
Script Question posting.

According to Lydell;
"All this is great unless your script is larger than 32KB (PEPV2) or 64KB (PEPV1). If this is the case, then your only option is to use eval() to compile the content of panel labels."

One thing I have done is eliminate all possible white space to reduce the size of the label script. I use Aptana IDE and it has a selection to compact the javascript. Be careful that some things can't be compacted such as indexes of arrays with an increment in them but these are few in number.

Thanks for the response. I guess I should have used the search.

Given that the label size has changed since PEP1 it looks like its an IDE limitation rather than a Pronto limitation.

I am glad I was able to help you save face.

If you'd like to really speed up your sockets based development, have a look at this thread:
[Link: remotecentral.com] .

You can test your socket scripts in the simulator without downloading to the Pronto.

I'd just like to say that Jon's simulator program is the best thing that has happened for the Pronto in a long time - it is simply great.

Seconded... It's an [almost] requirement if you're wanting to do serious IP Prontoscript development. I only wish it were possible to enable RFX9600/RS232 development the same way... :-(

Is anyone using the tcp debugging now that had problems with dropped data before? The version of the tcp dll that I'm using drops tcp data. The native tsu9600 is fine
