LiveCode Forums

Je t'en prie Stewart, c'était un plaisir. Thanks Stewart, you're welcome. It's allways a pleasure to help (and i learn a lot in the process). It's also nice i was able to reproduce the issue and fix it... on windows. If i wanted to make a (very unfair) joke i would say that it helps a lot that live...

Thanks for all the information/stack/movie. I gave a look at it, and i suspected the problem came from a lack of "metadata" about the cropped image stored in the DB. Somehow, the standalone could not figure out what to do with the retrieved data : If i saved the main image in the cropped field of th...

It could be interesting to know if the problem comes from writing or reading. Can you read, with the standalone, images stored by the live environment ? Can you read, in the live environment, images stored by the standalone ? And with an other app (a DB manager, for example, there are some free for ...

You can also try to base64Encode your data before storing them, and use base64Decode to restore the original (binary) data.

Thanks Panos, good to know.

Thanks. I had a look. I tested the culprit loop repeat with x = -1 to -30 , and as expected it didn't work. In fact, repeat with x = A to B have two ways of "not working". - It could hang for a while if LC did naively increment A until it reach B (=) - It could return immediatly if LC check that A >...

I tested the browser widget a few days ago, and didn't notice anything abnormal at the time. I can't recall anything changed, bu now, everytime i use the browser widget i have these symptoms: everything is normal and works well in livecode, but when i make a standalone 1/ the standalone takes 2-3 mi...

Nice catch Ross... maybe next time you'll realy outsmart the debugger. Keep trying!

@Klaus: I'm allready used to it... and i love it! I gave a short try to LC in 2014, but i'm just learning it "seriously" now. Trying to answer questions helps me to learnderstand better... and you helped me too, by giving me the idea to put two setProp handlers to see how such "layering" works. It's...

Klaus beat be while i was investigating the subject ;-) Here is the stack a made to learn how to do it. There is two setProp handlers for myProperty : one on the stack, and one on the top button. The one on the button would get fired only when setting myProperty for this object, but the one on the s...

I did some tests to understand, and this works : on mouseUp find string "a string" put the foundChunk into sc if sc is not empty then set the backgroundColor of sc to "yellow" end if end mouseUp So, you can use foundChunk to style the found text as you wish. EDIT: updated the code to check for sc em...

For that sort of things, Google is your friend. You can try a query like this one, then tweek it: site:forums.livecode.com find box For the other question, i' don't know enough livecode to answer, but i would try (after checking the result ) to " set the whateverProperty of last object to ... ". For...

Yes, it looks weird :shock: So, the test is not the problem... now, what do we have left? :roll: I suspect the call order of these functions is important and you're relying on side effects, but : - do the 2 last functions gets called if you put them higher on the list ? - do they get called if you c...

I understand. You said the test is true... but have you actualy put a breakpoint at the test site to be sure the result is as expected? Have you tried to put other function call before and after the elusive function, in the same block "under" the test? You certainly have a lot more experience that m...

So, usefull it is not... Fine!
