Hi David

Do you see an error message when you save as standalone application?

- Gerrie

Hmm... thanks J-M, I was planning to make my app update itself by downloading stacks from a server. You've just saved me a lot of future frustration. But it does make sense, though. Apple cannot approve apps which can add unapproved features to itself.

Hi Max

One possible cause is if you're handling the saveStackRequest message in your script. Datagrids internally handle this message and will break if your own saveStackRequest handler doesn't pass on the message.

Hi Jean-Marc,

If you comment out the line of code in question, does it still show any error when the stack is opened?

- Gerrie

That's great :D The part you've commented out also takes the visibility of the datagrid's scrollbars into account, because if not then it would behave as if they were visible even when they're not. To see what I mean you need to play with the datagrid's "Show hScrollbar" or "Show vScollbar" properti...

Hi Monty, You can use the following code to mask out the datagrid scrollbars: on mouseUp pButton local hScrollClicked, vScrollClicked if pButton is 1 then put the clickLoc into tLoc put (the dgProps["show hscrollbar"] of me) and within(scrollbar 1 of me, tLoc) into hScrollClicked put (the dgProps["s...

Hi Simon I've also dealt with custom datagrids that seemed to break for no apparent reason, and eventually found that in my case it was caused by one really important line of code which was missing from my saveStackRequest handler. If you handle the saveStackRequest message in a stack with a datagri...

Thank you so much Jean-Marc, you've saved me a lot of work!

I'll adapt your script for my stack and I will let you know how my stack performs after the images has been converted.

I need to find a way to automate the image conversion process, because I would hate having to convert each image by hand, one-by-one. If there's anyone out there who has had to do this before, and you can provide a conversion script I can use, I would appreciate that so much. In the mean time, I'll ...

Dear LiveCoders, I have an app that makes extensive use of imported images in its user interface. Something I've noticed is that my stack's file size is quite big. I know I can decrease the file size by using referenced images in stead of imported images, but before I embark on the cumbersome task o...

A sandboxed app isn't supposed to be able to interact with other applications via applescript because if it could, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the sandbox?

the mainStacks
lists all main stacks currently loaded into memory (one stack per line).

the subStacks of stack "mainStackName"
lists the substacks of a main stack, (one per line).

I hope this helps.

In the datagrid's behavior script, change ## Expand field to fill available width put the rect of btn "btnCheck" of me into theFieldRect put item 3 of pControlRect - 5 into item 3 of theFieldRect set the rect of btn "btnCheck" of me to theFieldRect to ## Reposition the check box set the left of btn ...

An alternative to using a button and seperate image objects for each frame, is taking advantage of LiveCode's built-in support for animated GIFs. You would then have only one image that animates automatically, so there would be no need for sending messages to make it animate. You can use messages to...

Thank you, Kroka!

I'm just curious, though... Does Google Play Store really accept apps signed with a self-signed key instead of one issued by a Certificate Authority?
