Is it possible to use an html practice site like “practiceboard” dot com to practice writing Livecode scripts which interact with javascript ?

Thanks for your response, Richard ! [What format is it in?] =Macintosh "Mail" program [What is the role of the server?] =script would prompt "Mail" to keep "checking mail" until month/year, performing keyword search, returning enclosed document [How frequently and flexibly would you be doing these s...

Is there LiveCode script to search through several years of mail ?

It would have to have built in pauses in order to allow server upload batches..,

Thank-you for all your informed responses ! You are correct in assuming I was asking if there is the equivalent of a Mac LC stand-alone that would be able to run on a fire Kindle, or eventually an iPhone. I'm guessing that such an ap would have to bring many of its own resources on board in order to...

Is there a version of LiveCode which will open and run on a Kindle Fire ?

If the only option is to save a Macintosh LiveCode build as StandAlone which the Kindle will recognize, what is the workflow to achieve that ?

A.I. question: I have been writing an expanding translation stack which inputs SC stacks and spits out LC stacks. Still too messy to share. An unexpected problem is that I’m interpreting SC stacks written during a sharp learning curve. This curve is almost as sharp as my current LC curve. So I need ...

You guys were right; LC didn't corrupt my stack.

BTW, the concept of "bus" was more than adequately captured in a Beatles' album.

Thank-you all!

Will do.

Would a bad system bus allow a line of script to just die, while the compiler is happily purring away, now with mis-matched calls/responses?

re: Debugger: re: declared variable list at left Would be nice to add option-doubleClick to open previously-opened variable assignment palette. This would avoid opening the same one twice. For those who can’t see all that well, arranging the palettes in a way that mirrors the flow of things can be q...

What is the best way to rebuild a copy of a corrupted stack?

My stack has just started renaming its objects with my variables (perhaps Globals) and renaming my variables in scripts as well.

re: debugger
re: looking at two different sections of one script simultaneously

would it be practical to request multiple adding an object’s script to the debugger by, say, adding “Control” to the “Option-Control” keyboard shortcut ?

You’re correct, Jacque, that the mb has been the source of handlers which had covered it with the infamous “Something” dialog box. And, yes, I’ve noticed that the mb quite often doesn’t recognize the last stack I clicked. LC is a much busier platform than SC; lots of messaging running under the hood...

Thank-you for responding, S. The LC debugger does have abilities SC debugger lacks, such as the ability to keep variable windows open through various runs of a given handler. And its ability to manage simultaneous scripts is fantastic. The stepping “into” and “over” seems identical to the SC debugge...

Jacque, I have a bad habit of editing multiple scripts at once using LC’s debugger’s directory capabilities. The result is that the order of windows open is not consistent with the order of stacks. I am able to edit the script of the bottom stack without bringing it to the “top.” … maybe… At least I...

You are correct, was looking for rewind similar to what SuperCard’s debugger can do. I assume the SC team considered the variable grid as a table, which was exported to a temporary recallable file each time any value was changed or handler passed. Maybe these temp files were named using the ticks or...
