LiveCode Forums.

Thank you all.
I have learned all I need to know.
And, as often on boards such as these, I have been introduced to ideas which are above my current need to know.
However, in a small corner of my brain, I will file some of the ideas, and will - when the need arises - come back here and find these ...

Thanks.

What's wrong with using idle?

Incidentally. your incrementer incremented in leaps and bounds. One time it was increasing by fours, and another - when I restarted it, by nines.

Thanks

Hi,

I want to have Livecode display, and update as necessary, the day, date and time on my Mac.

I have it working fine with an "On Idle" script. but only when LiveCode is the foremost, active, application.
How can I oblige LiveCode to carry on working when in the background.

Thanks,

Tony

I have a photograph which I wish to stylise.
I intend to replace, both vertically and horizontally, ever second pixel's color value with that o the preceding one.
Thus, the color value of the pixel at 1,1 will also be given to the pixels at 1,2 and 2,1 and 2,2>

I have expected that the script for ...

It gave me something to look at while the job was in progress.
I hate looking at a locked screen.

I have a stack which records thew words used in a word game I have been playing.
I wished to tally the frequency of occurrence of the words (there was a lot of repetition across levels).

The stack contained 26 cards, one for each letter of the alphabet, and each card had 8 fields - an identifying ...

Yes, I discovered that deleting the spaces did not work because it did not delete all the spaces, because I only asked it to look for " ". I had to copy the offending 'space' into the script.

Thanks for the insight.

I've settled for adapting the sort as follows.


repeat with c = 1 to number of items in fred
if char 1 of item c of fred = " " then delete char 1 of item c of fred
end repeat
sort items of fred ascending
repeat with c = 1 to number of items in fred
put " " before char 1 of item c of fred
end ...

Why does the space matter, Craig?

Looks like I'll have to do a stripping out of the spaces following comas and then sort and then re-insert them.

If only I could use a doub;e-character itemdelimiter - ", "!!

I have a field (named "Personnel") which contains lines of names of people appearing on music albums.
Following each name is a list of the things the person is credited with.

The primary item delimiter is "•", and then the person's entries are separated by commas

The Personnel field on one card ...

Hi,
I have three fields - each coloured differently.
Each is a scrolling field.
I am aesthetically disappointed in the white/grey combination of the scroll bar and scroll area of the field.
Would it be possible to allow these to be coloured.
It would be great if the scroll area could be made a ...

Hi.

Do you have the "listBehavior" of your field set to "true"? This may interfere with the manual color changing you are trying to work. Set it to "false" (make sure that lockText is "true") and see if that helps.

Craig
The "listBehavior" is false
The field is not locked.



The following code ...

Why does the textcolor of a field return empty when no textcolor has been set?

I set the textcolor of the first line of text in field 1 to "255,0,0"
I have left the textcolor of line 2 unchanged from the default.

I have this script in a button

repeat with a = 1 to 2
