Re: Operating system code test request...
Using the api URL, the information is much more accurate for me - like 35 km closer and the right postal code. So I would use the api URL - all else being equal (which it never is).

Re: Text Character Width?
If the field is just a label for a control that does not need to change, you could take a snapshot to turn it into a graphic and then squeeze the graphic rectangle right down to unintelligibility. That won't work for a field where the text is changing however.

Re: "Behave like a background" doesn't work
Hi Richard
That is a screen shot of the current, or at least recent, Xcode. You obviously don't go there much.

Re: Modifying a URL in Browser before it is sent
We will understand if you now post 6 or 7 short nonsense posts to bring you up to full status and then ask your question again with links to explain what you are trying to do... everyone has to jump through this hoop if you want to use the forum, so we've done it too.

No Craig.
It was a baroque music concert - Hayden Organ concerto. Good taste, but a bit over the top for my taste.
All good here and safe for the kiddies.

Re: Using fonts in Standalone HTML5
Try searching the web for "web safe fonts" and you will find a pile of lists of what designers have run into...
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp
This is a site that I trust, but the list looks pretty short to me. They recommend Courier as a monospaced font.
Good luck

Re: changing first to open, card....
set the number of card to number Allows you to change the number property of the card, bumping all the other cards up or down appropriately. A better way might be to name all your cards, and then in the openStack handler “go to card “openingCard”. Then the order of the cards will never matter or ge...

Hi Andre, I just tried unzipping this and apparently I am not equipped with an un-RAR application. Would you recommend one?
Thanks

Re: Want player object to keep playing when going to another card
Another way to tackle it might have been to put all the notes into a sub stack of the player that acts like a palette floating above the player. Two different sizes and styles that each are just right for their own purposes.

Re: Parsing scripts for comments
The script collection I am working with uses all four variants, with and without a space between the delimiter and the text as well as having extensive multiline comments - ALL within ONE script. The script is 25K, so there are lots of things to comment on, but the stylistic variation really shows h...
