LiveCode Forums

I've found that the page at https://livecode.com/support/ask-a-question/what-iosxcode-version-matches-which-version-of-livecode/ is helpful for this kind of thing: it lists versions of LiveCode from ancient 5.5 to this month's 9.0.0dp7 and shows what version of macOs and Xcode they work with. The fo...

Hi, At http://revonline2.runrev.com/stack/82/LibJson-1-0b you'll find Mark Smith's "LibJson 1.0b", which is a stack that converts back and forth between json and livecode arrays. The array elements can be copied onto stacks or fields (or tableview/datagrid I imagine). The stack has some nice samples...

Hi Richh; your simple example put quote, field 2, quote into responseToPost which produces ",sometext," should be written as put quote & field 2 & quote into responseToPost which uses the ampersand to combine text, and would produce "sometext" which I think is what you want. Note: in some sample cod...

Hi Keith, is there any chance you "disabled" the field in the inspector? Or by chance did you start by importing an old hypercard stack? (this latter gives me occasional problems with field content in inspector, sometimes.) Maybe this forum will let you post the stack, or if you want to email me the...

I had a similar problem lately (file i/o works in development environment but not in mac version of standalone), and I found a strange work around. The solution involved changing no code: instead I make my standalones one at a time. First make a mac standalone only, then quit and go back and make th...

Hi, your regular expression needs parentheses. (I had to read the documentation 3 or 4 times before I realized that's what was missing.) I built a simpler example: on mouseUp local startM, endM put 0 into startM put 0 into endM #following returns true and startM and endM are 3 and 4 answer matchChun...

I'm also getting "Monday, March 6, 2169" on my computer (mac, osX 10.5). What kind of machine are you on, and what do you get if you try the following script? local temp put the long date into temp convert temp to seconds convert temp to internet date answer temp maybe the long date or the dateForma...

PS: If you want to rotate images at angles other than multiples of 90 degrees AND still keep the ability to rotate them back again without distortion, you may use the "set the angle" command to change its property: set the angle of image "textpic" to 45 (quoting from documentation: "To rotate an ima...

Hmm... I've just tried opaque graphics and buttons with high blendlevel (99/100, use inspector) and they are clickable within their interior, while looking very see-through. Only problem is that their border is transparent also: I guess you could group them with a non-opaque polygon that provides th...

Be aware that the HCAddressing has different assumptions about how you distinguish card vs background (group) fields and buttons... If you don't use groups this probably won't matter. From the documentation dictionary: ========= "If the HCAddressing property is set to true, expressions in the stack'...

Ah-hah! I was having the same problem from time to time in rev 2.9 and now rev enterprise 3.0, and I've just found a fix/workaround. For me, the "poisoned" stack (in which labels cannot have their contents edited in inspector) had the HCAddressing property true. When I "set the HCAddressing of this ...
