Humm. Thanks for the feedback. I wish there was a better way to keep things moving & running in a stack while still being able to reposition the stack around on the screen.

I've played around a bit with the MoveStack handler but that doesn't help because the MoveStack only triggers once the stack is moved. I'm wondering if you could elaborate some on what you mean by :

...write your own window moving routine,

Can someone help me understand why moving a stack (grabbing it's title bar and moving it around the screen) causes things to pause? For example, if I have a repeat loop or animation/move going on when the window/stack is repositioned the move/animation will freeze until I release the mouse. The same...

I've been able to get a little bit more action on this. The problem seemed to be located in the path to the external needing to be Externals/EnhancedQT.dll or Externals/EnhancedQT.bundle ... Now I have a new issue. Perhaps this is what you meant when you said it is "cumbersome and prone to mistakes....

...you go to the substack invisible and start using it. When I go to the empty substack then what am I starting to use? If the substack is empty then what is there to use on it? That's the part that lost me. In terms of setting the externals property, this is the code I've placed in the PreOpenStac...

You lost me. I did try your recommendation but still no change. Works on Windows but not on Mac.

I'm playing with the EnhancedQT external ...again.. and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong. I can successfully create a standalone for windows that includes the EnhancedQT.dll. I have no problem controlling things like volume and balance under Windows. However, when I try t...

I'm trying to draw a figure8 shape from code (like in this picture below). Any ideas? I couldn't afford to pay attention in geometry and now I need it. It's the formula part that I"m lost on. I'm not sure how to create the plot points with the given equation. - this is the equation for Lemniscate of...

Thanks for the reply Bernd. WRITE TO FILE method doesn't work at all. I can only get partial functionality by using the WRITE TO DRIVER method. Since the virtual port is recognized by the DRIVERNAMES method it would seem logical that the WRITE TO FILE method should work...but it doesn't. Maybe someo...

I have a device (motor with serial interface) sitting behind a usb-to-serial adapter (FTDI FT232R chipset). The motor requires 19,200, 8N1 serial settings. I can turn motor on and off perfectly in Win32 platform but everything falls apart under OSX. The motor intermittently turns on (sometimes it wo...

This may sound super elementary, but how do all of you experts build the structure for a framed-styled stack? I guess the best example of what I'm talking about is the Dictionary & Resource Center features within LiveCode. Does anyone have a basic example? Here's my messy attempt at doing this. As y...

Oh my gosh that's funny Klaus. OOps!! So sorry Bernd! Thanks BERND!

Thanks for the help. Klaus, I tried that. It's REALLY a small delay, but it is still there. It's transient though; it kind of comes and goes. I've tried with variations of move and/or setting the loc vs. using the move command. I experience the same result. It's just enough of a delay to cause the m...

I'm wondering if there are any suggestions on a minor yet slightly annoying issue I'm having. I'm playing around with moves and sounds. In this stack (see attached) I want to play a sound when a graphic reaches a specific point on a polygon. One thing I'm seeing is that when the sound is started the...

What would be the best way to animate or move a graphic in an arched or curvilinear fashion between two locations/points? Do I have to draw a polygon first and then move along that path?
