I don't know what is wrong, sorry. It clearly *can* work generally, but something specific to your setup is preventing it. I can't think of anything sensible to determine how to fix it.

I don't know what happened for the JDK to show as amd64 for the 181 version, it's all Intel on the laptop.
It seems to work happily enough with Java v10 installed.

Are you sure you downloaded the JDK, not just the JRE?

I have not tried on my new laptop since getting it a couple of months ago, but I did begin to install some things to catch up again. Android Studio 3.1.4 with the SDK settings selected inside Studio. Java JDK 1.8.0_181 I don't know what happened for the JDK to show as amd64 for the 181 version, it's...

I would love to help, but don't have the required hardware, skillset, git, nor time.

But I do appreciate the effort and hope it comes to fruition of a good result.

Not just fascinating, it's awesome (as usual to expect from [-hh] of course)

This is likely to be a codec issue. LiveCode players use VFW, which I gather for licence bundling reasons, does not include the codec by default. Other players (Windows Media Player or Groove etc) are set up with appropriate codecs, so it appears that the videos will play fine except on LiveCode. Th...

Never that I know/can recall

Well maybe, but it has never launched on Windows after installation either.
It's not like it matters for that "one time only" so I don't suppose anybody's given it much attention.

I have 7.0.4 working to compile standalones on the latest NOOBS on Pi Zero W, nothing too complicated but hasn't fussed at me so far.
(I also have Xubuntu on Pi 3 that builds with LC 7.0.4)

I also made a little stack, but only to demonstrate that there is no problem here with setting the top of a group to a value to shift the whole group along with its content. It's not as exploratory as Bernd's. Check the lockLoc property of your objects, and double-check the addressing, and play with...

Instead of you would need a) to state the "control" as well as the name and b) wrap the concatenation in parentheses to force the engine to resolve the name correctly.
Useor other object type if not field, obviously.

That's odd, I use specialFolderPath(35) without problem for files common to the install (rather than the user). I don't think it should be a user-set security problem, possibly the user account you have signed in as only has guest access rights, but I'd have thought you would have noticed other rest...

Start with the Scripting Conferences mentioned above, in conjunction with the user guide and dictionary. They (the Conferences) were definitely my best introduction, and although old, they have been slightly refreshed and in any event are still relevant, especially for a beginner.

I am sure this cat can be skinned in many ways, but a top of the head thought (not tested, typed on my phone) on mouseMove if the mouseLoc is not within the rect of group "groupToHide" then --either hide it directly or send "hideTheGroup" to <the correct target> in 2 seconds end mouseMove You know w...

I think Windows started restricting general write access to "Program Files" a long time ago on Windows XP or maybe even earlier. Ken Ray made a definitve list of file locations http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/livecode/tips/file010.htm This is "old" but still valid and even on Windows 10 the CSIDL...
