Neil, thanks for that Example.livecode stack showing how to call LC from a Javascript function. I downloaded it, it works great--and I can't for the life of me figure out where the Javascript code is and how you attached it to the widget. Clearly something's happening because you have to click a pin...

Thanks kindly, Richard. It's for the opposite of bug reporting though--including the version number so when I ask questions you all can instantly detect my stupidity

Is there a way in LiveCode to see what handlers a widget has? For example, the Visual Basic IDE has a complete list of handlers and you simply choose the one you want to write code for. Or do I have to use the Dictionary? thanks--

I am running the Community Edition Build 14001. I can see that information if I choose About from the LiveCode menu ,but it's read only on the dialog box (at least in OS X).

I'm tasked with creating an app that: - Lets the user create/edit articles for clients - Lets the users create/edit list of clients - On the single-screen dashboard, articles are displayed in a grid; double-click the row and you can view or edit the article - Articles belong to a client In tradition...

I'd like to export the formatted contents of a text field into different text formats. For example, I'd like to be able to export bold text in different formats depending on the setting, so it might look like either of these: <strong>bold text</strong> [b]bold text[/b] Or it might be exported as pla...

LiveCode noob, experienced programmer here. I'm working on a pretty straightforward app targeting phones & tablets. There are multiple pages of icons. Click an icon and a sound file plays. You can drag and drop icons to reorder them, and move them to different pages. Eventually you'll be able to imp...
