The lesson has been around for a while and I just meant that he can't remember off the top of his head exactly how the compressed list of words was created. He would have been working on a Mac so he wouldn't have picked up on the issue with decompression. Of course we realise this is not ideal but i...

Hi all, I have updated the sample stack on the lesson with a uAllWords custom property compressed in LiveCode which seems to resolve the issue. I spoke to Ali, our resident Scrabble enthusiast and original author of the stack and lesson, and he can't remember exactly where the original data came fro...

Just a quick follow up, if you want the properties for a particular control type they are all listed under the Dictionary entry for the control. So the "button" entry has a list of all the properties and messages that apply to buttons.

Hi Seth I think you need to specify what the * is allowed to match, so something like put matchtext(temp,"[a-zA-Z]*" & char 1 of tGuess & "[a-zA-Z]*") This resource, which Charles Buchwald pointed to in the Dictionary comments, is really useful http://www.regextester.com/index.html I hope that helps...

Hi The best way to use libJSON is to make the stack a substack of your application. You do this by opening the Property Inspector for the libJSON stack and setting its Main stack to your stack. To make the commands and functions provided by the libJSON library available to the main stack we need to ...

Hi I don't think there is a way to display multiple locations on a single, dynamic map by building a URL, not as far as I can find right now. There are a couple of ways you can do it. 1. Using static maps, this just display a map as an image so you can't scroll, zoom etc but you can see multiple loc...
