Copy Card not working in LiveCode 9

Post by agraham147 » Fri May 25, 2018 8:33 pm

Hi,
I'm trying to copy a card but it doesn't let me. I go onto the card's Property Inspector and then go to the Edit Menu which should have the Copy Card option but it's not there and the normal Copy, Paste etc. options are greyed out. How do I copy my card?

Thanks, Aaron

Hi Aaron,
You may use a script

Code: Select all

copy this cd 
from a btn or messages box
and you should see "paste objects" in edit menu
Best regards

you can also do this solely in the message box.
e.g.

copy card "myCard" from stack "myStack" to stack "myOtherStack"
