Hi I was tidying up my UI for a phone/tablet app by removing a button that changed if the user selected a line in a list field. Worked perfectly on the desktop. here is the code form the list field script local svalue on MouseUp add 1 to svalue if svalue > 1 then ClearTally -- If they doubleclick th...

Hi, Don't over complicate, anybody who will spend time reverse engineering a 128 bit password will spend time with 256 (blowfish allows upto 448 bit encryption) - Unless you are in the gun sights of gchq or the NSA don't waste too much time. Blowfish is adequate - there are no backdoors in it (it is...

An Excellent summary of the website problems Newbie let's hope they take note, we were promised a new website a year ago.

And btw the homepage doesn't work on android but does on IOS and has been like that from day 1 of that video ... unprofessional is the most polite thing I can say.

Thanks Richard

Worked a treat.

I now remember that I used this over a year ago when I was trying out stuff ... but never needed it till now. I found it by accident before but couldn't see it this time, your a lifesaver.

HI, I have tried to create a status button (disabled and coloured as I want) and also a field because I thought maybe you can't do what I want to do with a button. Here is what I want to do. I have 3 cards I have created a field lets call it status i have made it into a group called grpStatus I was ...

Hi David Yeah but when ease of use and easy to learn is your mantra people should not have to "stick in" and certainly as you admit ( unlike Fourthworld still in denial) not for the reward of then having to shell out a thousand dollars for the privilege when you are ready to do something commercial ...

Hi Richard The bit about anyone listening is NOT about the development team - its about the direction that livecode is taking in zilch marketing , zilch trying to reach out to the bread and butter developers (you and me IMHO - Desktop with mobile options) The start screen of the website is atrocious...

HI, I have to pipe in here. I have been programming for 40+ years now from machine code to 4GLs so Ive run the gamut of every language you can imaging COBOL , Fortran and pascal at uni, ucsd Pascal, Forth (apple 2) , Turbo Pascal (forth and Lisp just for edification) , c, c++, Modula 2, Dbase (Yuk) ...

Hi Richard I have the book, and from memory I think the disk pocket is not even opened. I will see if I can find it tonight and let you know. If you could tell me where to send it to then I will mail it to You asap. I wanted to try a few of their programs - interesting book but very idiosyncratic La...

Hi Jim,

Seems it's gone the other way. Now it reminds me daily to update to 7.xx even though i'm on 6.xx and tell it to skip this version. I think it works on a random number generator and they have used the same seed lol

Just as I was about to press submit it just popped up

I never could get the hang of Thursdays either.

Hi what Klaus said, but ... Put all your handlers and globals in the stack or card script so you don't need to keep declaring the variables everywhere, since all the handlers will be in the same script and the globals will be at the top. you could be "clever" and have 1 mouseup handler and test for ...

Hi Jacque, In fact I had a longer response that listed the code with the semicolons as well but even with semicolons the else does not work on a single line, and although I could remember that in BASIC (BBC BASIC i'm 100% sure but not VB or others) the" if then else" conditional can be on 1 line. As...

HI All, I'll go into "Craig" or "Simon" Mode :wink: put the following in a button script and <press> on mouseUp if true then add 10 to tvar ; answer( "tvar = TEN : " && tVar ) ; add 5 to tVar; put " tvar = fifteen" && tvar end mouseUp This isn't a mistake - it was specifically programmed that way. T...

HI Jose Checked the routines just before the "Then something really weird" and they return what Is expected. but here --put numToChar(i) into temp --put temp into fld"temp" get binaryDecode("b*",i,binary_i) put binary_i into fld "temp" repeat for each character tChar in binary_i if tChar = 1 then pu...
