Yeah I like to use Call too but in this instance, I needed the context to go back to the object that the handler was found on.

It seems like adding the parentheses to the send command is getting me a result! Or at least, further than I was getting. Nice one!!!

Thanks all.

Linenumber is sent from the card script. The UI element button (using the behaviour script) is supposed to call the main card script to register itself on button_playlis t and then report and store what line in the playlist the button is registered on. --- on the card script on register_button butto...

Ahhhh ok - that's good to know re: the long name and button button. Ok thanks I'll try that. And I'll look into long ID, which I was unaware of as an option. RE: linenumber - it is definitely assigned as a script local at the top of the behaviour script and I was counting on "of me" resolving to the...

I really like the concept of Behaviour scripts - being able to have a bunch of routines shared that other UI elements can make use of. For the most part it's working a treat. I'm getting weird results with script locals though and was wondering if anyone had come across the same issue? I thought I m...

Hi All, Someone with more skills would likely do this better but I think this is kind of working ok enough to share: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kbu0ckgcrgxqdwq/DynamicUIUX_engine_00.livecode?dl=0 Scripts that allow you to import .png (with alpha if required) image sequences rendered out of your fave ...

Thanks for the link I'll take a look. I thought there might be someone (maybe from Livecode even) who had pushed the envelop beyond button icon flipbook and what's working for me isn't working 100% to be honest. If icon cycling is still the "best practice" :P for cycling through a sprite animation ,...

Hi all, long time hypertal- sorry Livecode hobbyist. Deep love for the language and development environment. Currently coding a point and click adventure game for more daughter (she drew all the drawings and and was the 'Chris Roberts' behind the game's scope. I call her that because as she worked o...

thanks for these suggestions. Not new to hypertalk/rev media but this is my first datagrid effort I had caught the FillInData pData handler and changed it as per the tutorial but I see the difference in your code is that "NameOfMyColumn" is where I went wrong :oops: great stuff and thanks for such p...

hello all, I am hoping someone has advice on this as I've tried a few ways and not got it working but am sure there must be a way. I am making an bespoke app for our small business invoicing needs. I originally had it in Excel The end game for the project is to export it as an app - and for the app ...
