My most recent problem is that I can't do the first Fundamental Test because I keep getting this error: http://imgur.com/bRFPrub (it states that "Unable to connect to dev_pwr"). Can't connect to MySQL server on dev.on-rev.com (0). I'm getting pretty close to asking for a refund as this is around the...

I just required some information and was searching on Google for it. I visited each page that came on first page and didn’t got any relevant result then I thought to check out the second one and got your blog. This is what I wanted! The LiveCode document has much (or all) of the same content, but y...

Hi all, I know this is potentially off-topic (which is where I asked about the hard copy dictionaries about three months ago). However, I do want to endorse them here for beginners. I just received my dictionary today and it's great! I'd have never known about several things (e.g., accelKey) without...

Thanks so much, guys! I will indeed take note of each of these approaches and practice with them. Much more elegant than my clumsy approach.

Hi all, I want to put a value into a particular variable that is based on loop iteration. So: repeat with i = 1 to numStimuli put line i of currentStimuli into tempStimuli put "stim" & i into container --so this would set up the variable names "stim1", "stim2", and so on put item 1 of line tempStimu...

For whatever reason, I grabbed the old copy off an old machine and it worked. No idea why, but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. Thanks for the attempt (and the previous advice!).

Thanks guys. That advice worked for the Scriptor's Scrapbook. Unfortunately, it has not worked for the animation engine which Livecode isn't even recognizing as a stack file when I try to open it directly. I've tried redownloading, but no success. Any ideas for that?

So, I moved onto Windows 8 and have not had any problems with the transition. However, I tried to embed my AnimationEngine and Scrapbook plugins into LiveCode and they're not being detected. Any suggestions? I've tried placing them in the native LiveCode/Plugins folder as well as My Documents/My Liv...

Ah, I found it here: http://mwieder.on-rev.com/WordPress/?in ... stallation. I'd recommend it to anyone (assuming it's still functional).

Back when LiveCode was Revolution, there was a great tool that let you click on procedure names and they served as hyperlinks to take you directly to the code involved in the procedure. Is there anything like that available for LiveCode? I've searched around and haven't seen anything. Maybe at a mor...

Enjoying LiveCode quite a bit. I'm thinking about preordering the hardcopy dictionary, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Will it provide anything in addition to what one already gets with the built in LiveCode dictionary (e.g., different examples)?

Okay, It's probably overly cumbersome and clunky, but on the bright side, I'll know exactly what it'll look like. Here is my "solution" for posterity: 1. Object-->New Control-->Image 2. Size image as I want. 3. Insert image into image control 4. Ensure ration and appearance is good 5. Repeat for the...

Update:

This works for loading and displaying the image:

import paint from file "P1D16C2.gif"

However, it's huge and seems to be a card all by itself. I need it to be smaller and displayed on the same card as another gif file.

Thanks,
Josh

Hi all, It's been a while since I've needed help, but you guys are incredible. Here's my dilemma (and I did search for the solution first, but to no avail). I have an experiment where I need to load and display .gif files. There will be different version of this, but I will usually display 2 or 4 an...

Gyroscope wrote the below in Talking Revolution. I've pasted it here for posterity. I think it saves the day for me (with some tweaking). However, any and all additional information would be appreciated. For instance, I do have some additional concerns: 1. Any chance the images will screw up when fo...
