Re: LC makes my stack a substack

I am going to trash it all as I feel somehow I have corrupted it. My intention now is simple to remake them both and copy every script and object to make another pair of stacks and try the build again.
Thank you all for your suggestions!

Re: LC makes my stack a substack

The jukebox and jukebox 2 issue was just me experimenting with saving the stack as a different name and then exchanging it with the existing stack with a change in the go stack script. That did not work either. I believe I've tried adding the .livecode to the name but I will try it to make sure. Tha...

LC makes my stack a substack

This problem harkens back to the problem I encountered earlier that still exists, but if someone here can help me I believe if someone here can explain this to me, it will fix my original issue. I have two stacks residing in the same folder. One is destined to be the application stack. It is simply ...

Re: Empty application folder upon build

First,thanks for the reply. The app folder that was empty was just named jukebox, no .exe or app in the name, No windows reserved folder name either,( had an experience with that problem). It turned out you were right again. There was a substack listed with in there. I deleted it and all should work...

Empty application folder upon build

I have been modifying my stack a little, and somewhere along the line I have inadvertently misclicked and added something to my stackfiles that has the caused the app builder to create an empty folder when I try to build it. I evidently click something wrong on the tools pallette. on the standalone ...

Re: Problem generating random numbers

I just tried your script in LC and it worked just fine.Thanks. I may go back and see if my old script may work differently if I use a field rather than the message box.
Thanks again.

Problem generating random numbers

on mouseup Livecode 9.6 Community I have a little stack in which I need a few (1 to 3) random numbers inserted before some text. I have came up with the following. This is just the initial experiment to generate the needed numbers at random. When I step it through the debugger, it works correctly. C...

Backdrops

Hello again! I have a question concerning backdrops. Every time I open LC, there is a backdrop and I either have to set the backdrop to none in the message box, or go to preferences and click the "Reset Default settings. The only options I see concerning backdrops in preferences is to choose which c...

Re: getting filenames

I only just now saw your post Jaque.
Thank you Jaque. You've read my mind. That was the next issue I was going to deal with. Those fields I have will now be a lot more narrow!

getting filenames

The music player I am working on has a limitation that I cannot seem to work around. In the playlist it will only play the music from the defaultfolder, so I cannot mix various artists in the playlist as the defaultfolder changes from artist to artist. I've made some spectacularly awful attempts so ...

Re: Player repeat loop

I thank you both for the your help with this. And I really appreciate your album stack jmk. I'm afraid it was a little too far over my head at this time, but I intend to use it to learn about callbacks, as I know nothing about them yet. I did use KI did use klaus's suggestion and went with the plays...

I have a list field with music files in it.
