Combo boxes are only one menu type but an important one. Some menu types have peculiarities of their own. I put together an example stack to show examples of the various menu types (see below). I don't remember having previously figured out how to use a cascading menu so this was a good exercise for...

Jacque:
I think I’ll keep the time codes in my text files to identify the locations in the videos. In case I want to view a video I’ll know where to look.
Thanks for the idea though.

jameshale:
My initial goal was just to get the text so I could conduct searches on various terms.
Following your suggestion, I downloaded the video file and put the srt file in the same folder. The transcript displays perfectly.
Thank you for your good advice.
Bob

jameshale: Thanks for the suggestion. I was able to select whole transcripts! I reformatted them in BBEdit. The text is difficult to read without punctuation or capitalization and with a timecode at the start of each line. Also, I see a number of goofs in the transcriptions (e.g., "Web Camp" is some...

aetaylorBUSBnWt: My first thought was to determine if the results (tResults) of your query are in an array: if tResults is an array then put "tResults is an array" & return after message box else put "tResults is NOT an array." & return after message box end if After digging around the Dictionary, I...

by jameshale : ... Click on this and select "show transcript". It will appear to the right of the video. Simply select and copy the text. I didn't know about the transcript feature of YouTube videos, thanks for pointing it out. Thanks also for pointing out the Sub-to-srt Sample Stack. Unfortunately...

I think this good comment needs reinforcement regarding fields. First, arrange fields in the Project Browser to the order desired (so the fields' layers follow ...

The title of this thread and the original posting refer to "Resize Scale." With that in mind, I explored creating a double size signature from the original. The stack below doubles the size of the original signature in a separate signature widget. Each of the points in the original signature's pathD...

Bernd:
Your stack is BRILLIANT!
Thank you for posting it.

Richmond62: Thanks for posting your Switcher stack. Just for fun I put together a switch control consisting of simple LC graphics grouped together. By using LC graphics, I was able to change colors, inner glow, add labels ("ON" and "OFF"), move the switch from side to side, etc. The script is contai...

from Bernd: I do not know what exactly drawingSVGCompile did not like in the original header of the lesson. Bernd's sample stack contains the xml header from the Affinity app; it works well. I tried to skinny down that xml and came up with this minimal header: <?xml version="1.0"?> <svg viewBox="0 ...

by Jacque: ...you can disable a red dot breakpoint in the Breakpoint pane of the variable warcher. That leaves it in place but it won't break into the debugger until you enable it again. Screen Shot.jpg I wonder how many times over 14 years that I have simply overlooked the Breakpoints pane. Thanks...

Jacque.
It was the ability to set a conditional via a red dot that was the news for me.
Craig

Me too. After 14 years of playing with Revolution/LiveCode I am happy to know about Conditional Breakpoints.
I think this capability will help me with debugging.
Thanks Jacque,
Bob

I forgot to mention that the Development -> Script Debug Mode
must be unchecked (no debugging) for the script to display the error dialog.
