Hi Simon, That could be true, but even if it wasn't set to a value the 'else' state would be used. That has a repeat which would not work anyway as an animation. Think of animation being a combination of both movement and timing. Repeat loops with no delays will not produce animation - only the end ...

Hi, Don't have time to answer all of your questions, but I can point you in a direction. Regarding 2a. When you click the jump button you then call playerjump. This call happens immediately and the computer will then do all that is in the playerjump function before returning control to the user. The...

Hi,

Time to do some debugging...
in the messagebox you should see what it thinks is in fld "fldEmail".

It'll probably help you a bit.

Cheers,

Hi,

Try this and see what happens:
It might work - or not!

Hi, A simple(ish) way might be to assign a 'matching percentage' to each word. Such that a certain number of characters must be correct to assume that it is the correct word. 'ibuprofen' could be correct as long as 6 out of the 8 characters are the same (ie. in the correct sequence overall) 'ibprofe...

Hi all, I think gepponline is getting confused with 'points in a graphic' and 'pixels in an image'. Even though a graphic is an image in english terms, the programming context of them is different. gepponline, there is no command (that I know of) that will set a pixel in an image at runtime (current...

Hi Andy, Welcome to Livecode :) First of all I can say that the first thing to do is get the hang of the Language and it's highlights and also it's drawbacks (yes there are some). To do this I would recommend using the free version (Community) until you feel confident in what you can (and can't) pro...

Using the switch statement in the way of your example requires the 'case' parts to return true, and it's basically the same as the if option you presented. I would recommend using the switch based on a specific factor like this: switch the cColor of btn "btn1" case "blue" put "it's blue" into coltxt...

Thankyou Bernd, That's a nice simple addition to it for the text. I didn't know that the textsize of a label could be changed for a graphic - cool. The only thing it would need too is this in the 'create' part in init: set the forecolor of it to 0,0,0 set the showName of it to true Cheers, Dave

Hi David, The built in graphics tools at the moment don't have an easy way of making a star shape. But they are basically polygons with specific points set in their 'points' field - so the 'easy' way to do this is via some simple Maths. I have attached an example of a star drawing function and anima...

Hi All, Basically Nakia is asking if there are 'GOTO' command options within Livecode language. ie. Goto labeledline, etc. Like in BASIC languages. (Hope that makes it more clear for those who are following) I don't know of any command myself, but I would suggest that if a GOTO is needed in the code...

Hi Michael,

Look back at an earlier post in this thread - regarding Quotes in Where part

Cheers,
Dave

Michael, As Klaus said :) :) The variable needs to be outside the quotes of your string. You really need to take your time to get the hang of how to check for basic errors in your code. Use the: put "blah blah blah" & cr after msg type of line to sprinkle messages and info about your variables, etc ...

Hi Simon, I think it's more of a learning exercise anyway :) If the exercise is just to learn how to talk to a database then I would definitely agree that a simple SQLite DB is the way to go. Local SQLite (running on the iphone) would not give access for other users to common/shared data - which is ...

Hi Michael, There are a couple of things that are not too good with this code - one of them could simply be a mistyping error. put "SELECT * FROM" & tTableName & "WHERE Name=Admin" into tSQL I note the lack of spaces after the 'FROM' and before the 'WHERE' - this would result in the string containin...
