Re: LC makes my stack a substack

When you made the substack into a mainstack, did you also save the original mainstack? If not, then the substack may still be there. I believe LC moves the substack out to a new mainstack and deletes the one embedded in the first mainstack, but if you don't save it the substack will remain. Try this...

You've probably looked at this but just in case: https://lessons.livecode.com/a/1770871- ... -checklist

There used to be a lesson on causes of the error you're getting but I couldn't find it.

Re: LC makes my stack a substack

There is no syntax error in the reported statement. Can we see the whole handler that opens the second stack?

It may be that LC is looking for the stack in the defaultfolder, which is normally LC's application folder. But in that case I'd expect a "can't find stack" error.

Re: Using field with "answer" dialog open

The dictionary suggests using selectionChanged to catch clicks in an unlocked field.

Re: Using field with "answer" dialog open

Do you want to delete a line when the user clicks it? The clickline function will tell you which line was clicked so you won't need a dialog. See "clickline" in the dictionary.

Re: find word

LC finds words by looking for spaces between words. If there is no space after a bracket then LC thinks the bracket is part of the word. I'm not sure if this will work, but try "find trueword" instead of "find word". It isn't in the dictionary but it might work. The keyword "trueword" ignores punctu...

Re: Missing Fonts

If I remember right, LC only shows the family name in the Font menu, which isn't necessarily the name of the individual variations. Look at the font in a font utility to see the actual names of the different styles and assign your controls with those. LC says if you set text to bold, for example, an...

Re: Click and/or drag ?

Because DRAGDELTA will affect the DRAG commands but not the GRAB command. These two are completely different things. My first attempt used "set the loc of me to the mouseloc" instead of using grab, which was smooth enough on my Mac, but then I noticed that grab calculated the mouse offset automatic...

Re: Weird can't redraw chart problem - solved

There's a "redraw" item in the Glossary portion of the Dictionary window.
That makes more sense. And here I was about to get all excited.

Re: Weird can't redraw chart problem - solved

I don't see a redraw command in the dictionary. I do see three commands that are either inactive or apply only to specific controls like the (deprecated) Browser.
