I've just added an example stack to help with this to the User Sample stacks Save and Deploy files to and from Custom Properties This stack is a response to questions asked about embedding files in a LiveCode application. It demonstrates saving the contents of a file(s) into a Custom Property (CP) t...

Probably the way to go is to put the contents of your essential files into custom properties. You can then on start up check to see if these files exist in for example the users documents folder and if not, write them out from the custom property. See this post for an example. http://runtime-revolut...

Hmm.. I always assume things to be true ... unless proven false?

or a slight variation

Hi Bernd,

Great find. Haven't looked at the supporting text files before. Very Interesting.

Hi petero, This lesson will get you sorted. http://lessons.livecode.com/spaces/lessons/manuals/datagrid/lessons/7337-How-Do-I-Save-Changes-The-User-Makes-In-An-Editor-Field-To-An-External-Data-Source- also have a look at this post, which has an example. http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t...

Mental note: must check out the Raspberry Pi stacks. This is the formula I was working with sqrt( (r1 - r2)2 + (g1 - g2)2 + (b1 - b2)2 ) which I found here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4057475/rounding-colour-values-to-the-nearest-of-a-small-set-of-colours which is an interesting read. And thi...

Ok, after some investigation LC has the the 'colornames' function which returns a long list of all the color names LC uses. There are multiple names with variations as below AntiqueWhite AntiqueWhite1 AntiqueWhite2 AntiqueWhite3 AntiqueWhite4 If you strip out the variations the list you are left wit...

Hi Ty, Here's a basic list with color name, hex and rgb values Black,#000000,0,0,0 White,#FFFFFF,255,255,255 Red,#FF0000,255,0,0 Lime,#00FF00,0,255,0 Blue,#0000FF,0,0,255 Yellow,#FFFF00,255,255,0 Cyan,#00FFFF, Magenta,#FF00FF,255,0,255 Silver,#C0C0C0,192,192,192 Gray,#808080,128,128,128 Maroon,#8000...

Hi Bill,

Which version of LC are you using? Is it a stable or DP release?

Hi Bill,

Agree, probably the internet libraries have not fully loaded.
Try adding a wait 1 second after the openCard handler.

I've just added a stack to the LiveCode Sample Stacks / Community Share system which is a stripped down version of a utility I use when creating any new project. It creates project folders and sub folders. Creates a blank project stack and saves it. Creates a notes.txt file, adds project info and sa...

Open LiveCode and hit the Sample Stacks button in the toolbar and look for Project Make This is a stripped down version of a utility I use when creat...

Hi Jack, Have to agree that this sounds like a db is the way to go. MySQL can handle concurrent actions from multiple users with ease. If have LiveCode server installed on your hosting then you can use LiveCode to act as the parser to and from the db. All the code you would need for this can be foun...
