Problems with delete image VarName... Klaus, I've got the Ghosts coming in fine and now want to delete them by gradually deleting them as their trail lengthens... Here's what my code looks like - but it is not working properly I'm thinking it's because I'm using a variableName (Ghost2Delete)... Fiel...

I didn't know about the "CLONE" option!
That's Awesome! Worked beautifully!!!

Thank-you Klaus!
I'll try this now!

I'm stuck... on mouseUp select img "girl.png" doMenu "Duplicate Objects" of Menu "Edit" put "GHOST" & the short name of the selected image into NewShortName set the short name of the selected image to NewShortName set the ink of img NewShortName to "blend" set the blendLevel of image NewShortName to...

Thanks much Richard and Klaus ! Very helpful!

LiveCoders - I have Live Code 8.1.4 but everytime I open a stack I get the dialog box telling me that I need to upgrade to 8.1.3?! Huh?!
AND a 9.0.0 DP-6 is listed too...


WTH?
Can anyone translate what this means?
Thx!

Thanks guys! GREAT stuff!! Very helpful!
Have an awesome day.

...a related question

I've heard that searching/retrieving data from a variable is faster than from a field
so I'd simply put fld "ImageData" into a var named ImageData
but then - how do the find commands differ?

Craig, Here is an abbreviated version to provide more insight... ======= Global ArmPOS,HeadPOS,TorsoPOS,PelvisPOS,UpperLegPOS,LowerLegPOS -- These values are all degrees in increments of 10 (0-350°) put "Arm,Head,Torso,Pelvis,UpperLeg,LowerLeg" into BodySegments -- put 1 into ItemNo repeat with t=1 ...

I am experiencing a "bug" that I hope is easy to fix... I am using the following code (within dashed lines) within a repeat loop to build an display of related parts; 1. arm 2. head 3. torso 4. pelvis 5. UpperLeg 6. LowerLeg img2display is a variable filename - "110head.jpg" for instance Field "Imag...

Thanks Klaus and Thierry, Thierry's suggestion to include a comma in the string was beautifully simple! This worked; find string comma & image2Display in fld "ImageData" --FIND; string, whole, words put the value of the foundLine into tData --- extract items as needed I did not realize it was possib...

Thanks Craig, The "array" is simply lines of comma-delimited text sitting in a locked and hidden field. Here are three lines from it... Img,0,30Pel.jpg,623,418,662,480,642,449,39,62,644,471,, Img,0,30LLeg.jpg,612,627,658,718,635,672,46,91,642,640,642,708 Img,0,30ULeg.jpg,630,627,658,735,644,681,28,1...

I'm attempting to search an array 290 lines with 15 items on each line to retrieve data specific to a file name. The fileName is item 3 on each line. Problem is - some have similar names... for example there are four different lines of data each for; 30Pel.jpg 130Pel.jpg 230Pel.jpg 330Pel.jpg 130Pel...

Hi Livecoders, I'm back using Rev/LiveCode again after about five years away. This time creating an app for iPhone/iPad users... perhaps Android users too eventually. Here's the deal I have created a main menu that provides links to 33 other cards - and each card has a link back to the main menu. Yo...
