I am taking pictures with the USER MEDIA plugin and I am finding that I need to

add an option to my project that allows a user to rotate the camera picture within

sprite object.

The cell phone camera will take a picture in landscape mode when held sideways and

in portrait mode when held vertical.

However, I would like to give the user the option to rotate the image inside the sprite.

Note: Rotating the sprite object itself is not what I am looking for.

Within the image editor, I can rotate the image within the sprite object, but I need to

do this at runtime.

Literally, everything you helped me with has WORKED PERF !!!

Thank you very much...

Any idea how to separate every two digits of a string?

If I have a string "112233445566", how do I read every (2) digits to

separate the values? These represent individual BYTES

I need to pull this string apart (2) characters at a time.

Byte # 1 = 11

Byte # 2 = 22

Byte # 3 = 33

Byte # 4 = 44

Byte # 5 = 55

Byte # 6 = 66

GREAT !!! Thank you very much...

I'm not that familiar with how to sort and parse within the Construct environment.

I see that you used "Compare Two Values"..

left(line, 1)

Equal to =

"[" This identifies the "Group" section? Then, you use an "else" statement assuming any other lines are "Parameters"? Since these INI files will always be structured in the exact same order, I should be able to sort by line number, (Example: the first (9) lines are always "Global Settings" and the TOP line will always be the group name "[GLOBAL_PARAMETERS]".

The 2nd line will always be the "Name" variable, and so on.

All I need from each line is the VALUE "after" the "=" ?

While the loop reads a single line in, I just retrieve the VALUE "after" the "=".

Do, you know of a technique to READ the VALUE "after" the "=" ???

Thank you so much...

That works GREAT !!!

So, to write an INI, I need to use NWJS, but will that work to the local PC?

I have an application that requires reading and writing to existing "INI" file types.

[GLOBAL_PARAMETERS]

Name=Gary

Address=1234 Elm St.

City=Los Angeles

State=Ca.

Zip=90210

[GAME_1_SCORE]

Points=12112

Levels=3

Bonus=5

I am seriously confused as to how this is done.

Hey MatrixReal,

Do you have any information on that "cordova flashlight plugin" you mentioned?

I am running into major roadblocks trying to find it, or get anything else working.

At this point, I am getting desperate..

Hello Skymen,

I have an important Construct 2 project going that requires the use of a cell phone or tablet

camera. In many cases, poor lighting requires the use of the cell phone or tablet FLASHLIGHT.

The Construct 2 "User Media" plugin works great, except, when I go to my cell phone menu and

activate the built in FLASHLIGHT feature within the cell phone, this turns OFF the Construct 2

"User Media" camera itself. I am not able to get BOTH working together.

This has been very frustrating and I have posted several forum requests for help, without a real

solution. Including to Scirra direct, asking them to ADD the FLASHLIGHT FLASH ON and OFF function

to the existing "User Media" plug in.

What I need is ANY solution, including script I can run using the "Browser" plugin, which will allow

my project to TUNR ON and OFF the cell phone or tablet FLASHLIGHT without conflicting with the Construct 2 "User Media" camera plugin.

construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/how-do-i-8/user-media-camera-flash-on-off-157001

I found java script which works to turn on the camera FLASH, but always turns OFF the Construct 2

"User Media" camera itself..

I am hoping to find someone who can create script that can DETECT if a camera FLASHLIGHT is available

and then turn it ON and OFF without turning OFF the Construct 2 "User Media" camera.

My preferred solution would be if someone could ADD the FLASHLIGHT functions to the existing Construct 2

"User Media" plugin itself, so as to simply it for myself and many other users.

I am willing to pay for this service..

Please contact me or reply to this posting...

I am wondering if the problem is caused by the fact that the example code

I am using uses "Constants" instead of variables?

"const photoCapabilities"

The only way I can turn OFF the light is to RELOAD the HTML page..

THANK YOU dop2000,

That works GREAT !!!

I didn't know how to get rid of the BTN within the java script.

QUESTION: How do I turn OFF the light once it is ON?

I created (2) buttons on a test Construct project:

ON Button:

On Click = Browser RUN Java Script: "The script you helped me with"

WORKS LIGHT ON

OFF Button

I tried changing the the java script to

torch: false

However, that did not work for some reason.

Is there something else I am missing>
