I'm using LiveCode 7.1.4 as suggested on Ubuntu 16, and Mint Cinnamon 18.2

I attached an example stack. Thank you MaxV, your stack is working. However there are few problems : 1. MPlayer can't play very well. It get's stuck. Same thing on the terminal: "audio device got stuck" errors while playing. This issue can be addressed (see here http://alsa.opensrc.org/Mplayer .) 2...

I managed to workaround the sound limitation on Linux using informations I've gathered here and there. It's not ideal but it will suffice for my purpose. There are two parts: Livecode and Linux 1. On Linux, I have installed vlc and I have a bash file installed in the stack folder. The sound files ar...

As for installing LiveCode 7.1.4 on Linux, it failed on Ubuntu 16 with an error: "Installer slave quit unexpectedly.". I'm replying to myself to share the solution. I've installed Ubuntu 16 64 bits and got the error "Installer slave quit unexpectedly" again with : sudo ./LiveCodeCommunityInstaller-...

Well, following my post below this one, I started off by downloading and installing Ubuntu 16 (found out later you changed up on editions heh heh) and Lc 64 bit. Hi Bogs Thank you for the testing and sorry for the typo. I've indeed installed 16.04 LTS 32 bits. I have done what you said with sudo an...

hi Bogs,

I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32 bits, default download
I've tried to install both LC 7.1.4 and 7.1.3 32 bits versions and both only for me and for all users.

Thanks for your help

Just to keep you posted, I installed version 7.1.4 on Windows in order to build a test stack for Linux. Still no sound and no error with .wav and .aiff files. As for installing LiveCode 7.1.4 on Linux, it failed on Ubuntu 16 with an error: "Installer slave quit unexpectedly.". I was quite enthousias...

Hi again, I've found an old discussion regarding this topic and it seems that this feature has been lost in version 8. Your instructions works fine in LC 7.1.4 on Linux but crash LC 8.0.2 https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?t=18429 I'm going to install version 7.1.4 and I'll report to you. -- ...

Really ? how can one expect developing games without sound ? my concern is to build educational programs for children - almost impossible without sound too.

Hi After a lot of searching and testing it seems to me that LiveCode has no sound feature on linux. I've installed Ubuntu 16 (32 bits) on a machine and installed LiveCode, then I've tested all the stacks with sound available here (link below). None of them produce any sound. http://livecodeshare.run...

Hi, One big thing that attracted me to LC is the ability to code for Linux. So far it went very well. The feature I'm having problem now is playing sounds. I have a simple stack, that plays well under Windows. Very simple stuff: I have imported the sound file, one MP3 and one WAV with the menu File....

Splendid ! Many thanks.

I thought HyperCard was simple.

LC is even more simpler.

on mouseDown
set the layer of me to top
grab me
end mouseDown

I'm glad if I helped (re)discover this interesting feature that apparently is not very well known or documented (or both).

Hello,

When in run mode, it's very easy to drag an object using "grab me".

However when to object is dragged over another object, sometimes it goes on top, and sometimes it goes under.

Is there a way to move an object on top of everything (topmost) when dragged ?

Thanks in advance
Félix

Thanks Bog, I was more looking for a drag and drop sort of things, but it will do certainly. Actually what I was aiming for can be done with the Project Browser: just grab one card from a stack and drop it in another stack. I like however to be able to do it by code using the Message Box. Bye Félix
