This works fine for me: on mouseUp put the clickChunk into tChunk put the clickText into tText ask "Change?" with tText put "x" after it end mouseUp I put "This is a test" into the locked field. I clicked on the word "test". When the dialog appeared, I changed the text to "testy" and hit OK. The han...

I have checked in LC8 and the error seems to be in writing the file. I can 'put' the content all the way through the script, but it is not being written to file. No file is opened and there is no file of the required name anywhere. Okay, that's progress. Add this to your handler: open file audio wr...

To see if the problem is a bug that needs to be reported, it would be good to know where the error occurs. In the debugger, does the audio variable contain the correct text? If so, then the problem is in writing the file. Do you get an empty file, or no file at all? What is the file path you're writ...

If you store text in fields, access time is much slower since accessing fields is one of the slowest things LC does. Custom properties are almost as fast as variables. Images are best stored in a substack or another card though, you're right about that, though disk access has been greatly optimized ...

I looked up the error and apparently it isn't just startssl -- other web sites can be affected too. It depends on the server configuration. There's some info here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30739473/nsurlsession-nsurlconnection-http-load-failed-on-ios-9 and a lot of other hits if you google...

Sure, you should do whatever is easiest for you. Our suggested method only requires changing two characters in your existing code, and then you never have to fiddle with database exports ever again. I'd change those two characters, but if you understand your way better, go with what works.

Okay, I'll give it a try. I used to be an interpreter in another life. @bbhank: Using "revDataFromQuery(tab, cr, gConnectionID, tSQL)" tells LC to fetch the database data and when it receives that data, LC should put a carriage return after every row and tabs between each column. The characters you'...

The widget is working here for me, I did the same thing as you -- drag it to the card, resize it, set the URL. I'm on Mac though. I do know there's a bug report about loading certain web sites that contain certain javascript commands, they don't always display right. Do you get the same results if y...

Typically the editor will open to the same place where the insertion point was when it was last saved.

There's no need to store data in controls, it's typically done with custom properties. These are powerful and can store virtually any kind of data. The primary reason to store objects themselves in substacks is when you need a copy of the actual control for some reason, or when you need to reference...

You can change the active point of the cursor with the "hotspot" function.

You can avoid shell and the revCopy command both by using the simple URL syntax:

put url ("binfile:" & tSourceFilePath) into url ("binfile:" & tDestinationFilePath)

Yes, native scrollers are cross-platform on mobile. There is a lesson here: http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4069/l/94 ... ll-a-field

It uses a text field as the example to scroll, but it works the same way with a group of any objects.

It is easier to give the image object a name and refer to it that way. Then you don't need to mess around with IDs: set the filename of image "userPhoto" of me to tFullPath Or you can refer to it by number: set the filename of image 1 of me to tFullPath But if you really want to use your ID function...

@bbhank, I think a lot of things will be much clearer if you can get an overview of how LC works and its basic functionalities. If you read through at least the first few stacks in the Scripting Conference series it could help those ephiphanies happen a lot quicker: http://www.hyperactivesw.com/revs...
