Re: Force the script editor to update?

I'm not sure this is what you need, but you can close a stack and remove from memory with a single command: delete stack <stackName> This does not delete the file, it only removes it from LC. There is no save dialog or other interference. Since it doesn't need messages to be locked, the script edito...

Re: Saving as LiveCodeScript

But, just as a script-only stack can create another stack with lots of controls, I want to know if one can reverse the process where a "stack with lots of controls" can be saved as a script-only stack in such a fashion that on that script-only stack being opened inwith the IDE it can re-create that...

Re: ITMS-91053: Missing API declaration

Arrived here after submitting a new build to the App Store today and getting flagged for this too using LC 9.6.11. My app has NO iOS requirements. It's probably APIs the engine is calling. Look at the manifest in a text editor and see what's in there. Usually there's a list at the bottom with LC de...

Re: Styling paragraphs/lines?

Why do quite a few things that might have been expected to be fundamental to LiveCode come down to awkward kludges or work-arounds? In this case they gave us ascii 11 back in LC 5. For myself, I prefer the text method because it requires no scrolling scripts, no additional controls, etc. Whatever m...

Re: get name of flashdrive.

Yeah, I was being too Mac-centric. On second thought though, maybe knowing the drive name isn't necessary. A copied app could easily be on a thumb drive.

Re: get name of flashdrive.

Hi Jacque, Thanks, but - I'm a bit lost..What's a volume name? and how would it work (in simple logic terms, if that's possible..) Put this in a button or handler in your stack: put the filename of this stack Then look at the response in the message box. The volume name is the disk name. If the nam...

Re: Auto Focus On Edit Field

SparkOut wants to be my brother. :)

The wait method probably works. I usually set the traversalOn of the card to false on preopencard and set it back to true with a send command at the end of opencard. A millisecond or two is usually enough of a lag.

Re: get name of flashdrive.

The filename of the stack should include the volume name.

Re: Styling paragraphs/lines?

Replace carriage returns with numToChar(11). This is a soft return which shows a blank line but treats the text as a single paragraph. Note that if you need to count lines, it will report the both visible paragraphs as a single line.

I should note that I didn't even test my suggestion so I'm not due for any credit yet.

Re: Hide tooltip instantly?

Here's another untested idea. Tooltips are removed on mouseleave, so try this:

Code: Select all

on suspendStack
  send "mouseleave" to the mouseControl
end suspendStack

Re: ITMS-91053: Missing API declaration

I did a quick look at the requirements and I think these probably relate to the main functions of your app, which I think does music playback, right? The timestamp one specifically mentions audio playback calculations. If your app stores any data on the device, that would explain the diskspace requi...

Re: Where are the newbies?

What we should be looking for instead is what explains the surge in beginner numbers between 2006 and 2013. I wonder if it has something to do with Supercard's limitations. Also, devoted HC users were starting to realize their Macs would no longer support their HC stacks. I had a lot of conversion ...

Re: LC makes my stack a substack

I suspect the problem isn't corruption, but if the new stacks fail in the same way then I'd be happy to take a look at them and see if I can find the problem. Or send them now if you want to avoid reproducing everything.
