What sturgis said. I think the main issue is that you're not queueing up another read after getting the first line's data. But the handler name "gotSocketData" is also maybe a bit confusing. Your processData routine is what gets fired when a line of data has come in - gotSocketData is the callback t...

At first glance, my guess is that the MIPS processor thing will kill this. I wouldn't expect binaries to be portable from ARM devices. Just a guess, though, since I don't have my hands on a Novo 7.

Writing to a text file is pretty easy. There are (at least) two different ways: ask file -- see where the user wants to store the file if it is not empty then put tText into url ("file:" & tPath) end if ask file -- see where the user wants to store the file if it is not empty then open file tPath wr...

rotfl. But let me point out that the open-source glx2 script editor for LiveCode *does* do autocompletion.

In addition, it's bad form to name objects "Field" or "Button" or other reserved words.

wunder- If you're looking at the conversion process from VB6 to something else, you might also want to see http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4071/l/7389-visual-basic-to-revtalk-cheat-sheet . The formatting came out a bit weird and I should probably update it some day, but it's a start. The VB6-t...

Sure. Put a returnInField (and an enterInField for good measure) handler in the script of the text field. Do your processing in there and *don't* pass the returnInField message at the end of the handler.

I wish there were. For the moment behavior script buttons are as close as it comes.

Here's the issue, though... I don't think the point of a personal license is to get a complete set of deployment options. If you're thinking that far ahead then a personal license isn't what you're interested in. I think of a personal license as more of an option to get started developing. There are...

Mark-

The basic personal license is $99. That provides for OSX and Windows deployment. Other deployment targets can be added on as desired/needed.

letter for letter in a slow order. Instead of the line I typed earlier put "Hello, ok what do you know about" && trigger & cr after field "chat" try something like repeat for each char tchar in ("Hello, ok what do you know about" && trigger) put tchar after field "chat" wait random(1000) millisecon...

Is a real chat system possible with LC? Yes, but it's much more involved. Bjornke has a full client/server chat system up that we use for real-time interactions. But the coding (especially the internet socket handling) is not for the faint of heart. Don't rule it out yet, but think of it as somethi...

Do you need an actual chatbox system (multiuser, server/client, internet-enabled, etc)? or just a self-contained system on a computer where the user types something in and your program generates a reply locally? If it's the latter, then you can check a list of trigger words easily with something lik...

Well, yes, but it's old and buggy. Don't tell anyone, but I don't actually use it myself. I just edit text files locally, ftp them to the server, and hope they work.

P.S. Just for fun, I tried a graphic out there, and changing the angle property has no effect at all. Wasn't the angle property originally /only/ for graphics? And now that's been removed? Ken- One of the weirder parts of the language. Check out the "rotate" command for images instead of setting th...
