copying image acros stacks doesn't work on Mac

I have an interesting one. In my startup code, I copy an image from one stack to another. The script is copy image "imgSplash" of stack "stkDetails" to this card In the IDE on both Mac and Windows, it works. In a windows standalone it works fine. But in a Mac standalone (either 32 or 64 bit) it does...

Re: cannot see custom properties after close/reopen

I was looking at individual custom properties, not sets.

Re: cannot see custom properties after close/reopen

OK, I tried renaming the old stack and no dice. So then I tried using fields instead of CPs and that works. So, the upshot is that when replacing a stack dynamically from a server, do not depend on CPs; use fields instead. At least for now. For me, this is no problem because the stack is never visib...

Re: cannot see custom properties after close/reopen

Klaus, Thanks for the quick response. The stack from the server does have the CPs filled in and when i close LC and restart it, everything works fine. So, I'm guessing the problem is having the two stacks with the same name even though I close and clear the one before I open the other. I can try ren...

cannot see custom properties after close/reopen

I am trying to build an automated upgrade feature based on the splash screen method and I have it almost working (I think). I have a stack (appState) with custom properties that include the version number of other stacks. When I startup,the splash stack saves all of the custom properties of the appS...

Re: errors when trying to save as standalone

Thanks Craig. I did figure that out last night after I built on the Mac for Windows and then looked at what gets put in the windows folder.

Re: Password protected stack

I know I must be doing something wrong. In the message window, if I type

set the password of this stack to "foo"; answer the password of this stack;

i see a response of true, not of foo. What am I missing? this seems like it should be so simple.

Re: errors when trying to save as standalone

Craig, I am not. One of the design goals was to allow disconnected use, so I need to keep everything in the original download. However, I did find a workaround. If I save stacks in their own files, then the project builds. I have not yet verified that everything functions corectly, but I appear to b...

Re: errors when trying to save as standalone

I went in and deleted all of the audio clips from a copy of my project and it built so it appears to be a size issue. Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere that I can tweak? I really would prefer to not have to redesign my app

errors when trying to save as standalone

I am trying to save my livecode project as standalone and I am getting errors. I have done this with some smaller projects without any problem. I have tried building on both Mac and Windows and get errors on both. I have tried limiting the build to just the platform that I am building on and that ha...
