locking up

If I user "answer ... " in the handler for the resizeStack message, the answer box shows but I can't dismiss it or continue with anything. 1. Why is this happening? Am I doing something 'unconventional' or what should I know that I don't know? 2. Is there a key combination that will break out of all...

Re: Resizing images

Thank you Klaus and Coffee,

I set the lockLoc to True for each of the images, and lo and behold the problem went away.

YAYYYYY. I would have never guessed that one.

Re: Resizing images

Hmmm, no I haven't tried that. The images are all on a card in a substack, being shown as icons on buttons.

Resizing images

I am working on my first app. It will be cross platform (Android, iOS). I have implemented a handler used in one of the LC Lessons (the TickedOff app) that stores some custom properties in images, and uses them to resize each image based on the screensize, triggered on a resizeStack message. The ima...

Re: Sizing problem on test device

Thank you for sharing your code, it is very helpful for scaling controls. I need to scale field controls, as well as the size of the text in the fields. When I used metacard years ago there were textoverflow/textunderflow properties of a field that were helpful in determining how the text fits into ...

Fonts and cross-platform deployment

I recently purchased a Mac computer and opened my livecode project in it for the first time over the weekend. All of my development experience in livecode has been on Windows to date. When my project opened in mac os, I noticed that the fonts on all of the buttons was much larger than they were on W...

Re: push and pop -- access to the 'last' card?

That's what I was looking for. Thanks Dixie!

BTW ... Seems curious that the recentCards property is not in the 'See Also' section of the Push and Pop entries in the Dictionary.

push and pop -- access to the 'last' card?

I have a couple of cards that each navigate to the same (third) card. In the scripts that go to that card, I use 'push card' to store where I came from. Then I use 'pop card' to go back. I want slightly different behavior based on which card I am coming from. The most obvious and simplest way would ...

Re: Newbie questions

I have a dual monitor setup at work, and that must have been the problem. Thanks for the help, Simon.

Newbie questions

Hi all ... I am trying to test LC as a platform for developing Android (first) and then iOS apps, so about 10 days into my trial. Been going through some tutorials, got the JDK and Android SDK all setup (I think) and trying to figure things out. The weird thing is, all of a sudden the Dictionary won...
