Find image symbol on Web App Canvas Blockly

Post by IdeasVacuum »

So this is a very tricky one. I need to find the occurrences of a small image symbol on a Web app that is using Google's "Blockly". Having found them, I need to auto-scroll to each one. Sounds simple but it isn't! For starters, there is no .html page to download and search.

It might be that SpiderBasic would be the better tool for the job, I really don't know. Has anyone done something similar? Ideas?

Hi Kiffi

It isn't pertinent to what I need to do unfortunately.

- But what a great job you have done there to make Blockly work in SpiderBasic!

I see falsam is "not a fan" but Blockly does have many virtues that mostly offset the not-so-good bits. It's one of the not-so-goods that I'm trying to improve but I do not have access to the Blockly code, the find image symbol util ideally needs to be a seperate, desktop solution.

Going back to some brilliant stuff by Wilbert: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 1&start=45

I realise that I don't actually have to find the symbol, it uses colours that are deliberately unique to stand-out. So in fact, I can search for matching pixels. Of course, testing pixel-by-pixel would give a perfect result, but it would take too much time to be remotely useful. Still, however small, some progress....
