You can pick off the items that you want from the data. They are separated by commas Looking at your data: 07:57 AM,12,54,116,http://cdn.worldweatheronline.net/image ... png,Partly cloudy,4,7,130,SE,7.0,100,16,1023,50 2018-06-20,21,70,10,50,05:31 AM,08:30 PM,01:17 PM,01:16 AM,First Quarter,34 2018-0...

If you just want the temperature, you can use an api to get that data from the weather site. Then you can format and show it in text or use your own graphics. It gives you more control and allows you to customize your screen. You can also get other related data, like the wind speed, the sky conditio...

You have nothing to apologize for. I was not offended. I was trying to simplify the process and explain to the forum why I piggybacked on your email. Using sitesucker, I downloaded the entire site and if it ever goes down, I may try to replace it. It was done using Google Sites and has a lot of thei...

Sorry, I was just trying to be helpful. That page may no longer be reachable from the site and it highlights apps from other members of this forum. The site also has so many pages by now that it is almost too much. I just wanted to highlight some of the better links. (and save the original poster so...

Great idea. You are correct. Having benchmarks would be really useful. Students often have older/slower computers and cellphones. So we worry about size and speed of games. We always used the 6x over the 7x and 8x versions of LiveCode for games because they were faster, less buggy and made smaller s...

I have always done it using images.

There is a simple lesson on how to do it at https://sites.google.com/a/pgcps.org/li ... ng-terrain

I did, briefly but I am not good on video. Besides, I am not a great fan of videos myself. Too much pausing, backing up and replaying. Videos either go too fast or too slow. I prefer working from screens. I find it easier to follow along.

Do you use videos a lot?

I did not subscribe to the Global presentations this year because too many of the presentations were over my head orof no use to me. They seemed to be aimed more at advanced developers/professionals rather than beginners or hobby developers. What I would have liked was short simple ones to introduce...

Thank you for the resource. I found the introduction to Chapter 4, and Chapter 13 useful and interesting.

Are you using a "software" scanner or a hardware scanner with your Android phone? I tested both solutions and they work on a computer. My scanner does not connect/input into my cellphone so I could not fully test it under Android. You might have to set the focus to the field and turn off the keyboar...

But the ask is in the button. I assume that the user presses a button to select if they are using a scanner or entering the number by hand. My point is that he does not need the buttons to choose. All he needs is a field with that code in it. It will handle a number entered manually or using a scann...

Instead of a button, just put this code into the script of the field "field_EAN": on returnInField (put your code to process the number here) end returnInField and on enterInField (put your code to process the number here) end enterInField it will handle the number when it receives the "return" or "...

You can also modify fields using the htmlText property. See #2 on this webpage - https://sites.google.com/a/pgcps.org/livecode/home/communicatingwiththeuser/html but the most common use of it is for showing HTML content without the HTML tags. See #3 on the same webpage - https://sites.google.com/a/p...

It is easier to create your own "dialog". It just takes a substack that you set as "modal". It can replace your "ask" or "answer" dialog. Modal - for blocking other actions A modal dialog box is a window/stack that blocks all other actions as long as the stack is displayed. An example is "Ask" and "...
