Hi Richard, Clicking to edit is so ingrained that I keep forgetting, and clicking images on the card to edit them. By adding the "tool" check it now stays on the same card. This definitely will help with my sanity going forward. Thanks again.

Hi Richard, Sorry if I'm being dense, but the problem I'm trying to describe doesn't involve image transparency areas, the dictionary entry or stand-alones. When I select an image in the IDE, with the editing pointer tool, mouse events are still getting executed. In bug report terms: ACTION: click a...

Hi Richard, I downloaded the test you made, and was getting different behavior with it than with my stack. After looking at your stack, I think the problem I was seeing is with the mouseRelease command, rather than mouseUp. In my project I was call mouseUp from within the mouseRelease, so it could h...

Hi all, It appears that if you have a mouseUp handler in the stack script, selecting an image control in edit mode will execute the mouseUp. All the other controls seem to behave as expected-- they get the selection outline. But the image gets the selection outline, and then the mouseUp executes. I ...

Hi Klaus, I was afraid of that. Thanks for the info.

Hi Mikemc, If I understand your concern, to access fields on multiple cards you need to add the card name that the field is on. So instead of the text of field "fieldName" use the full path: the text of field "fieldName" of card "cardName" By specifying the path, LC will be able to find you fields n...

Hi all, I would like to be able to touch a video in a mobile player to toggle between play and pause without having to display the controller, or create a separate button. This should be easy enough with mobileControlDo and Play or Pause. The problem is I can't seem to figure out how to attach an LC...

If you are doing a UI in the "drawer", group all your buttons and background graphic together. Then put Randy's script on the group.

Hi, I have a simple utility app that has no database functionality. Yet the stand-alone .exe has an "eternals" folder with the revdb.dll file in it. I didn't specify database support, and use no database functionality, so I'm not sure why it is there? It appears with both the automatic and manual ex...

I do the same thing as Robl mentioned above. I keep several versions of Xcode installed. You can either have them running from different folders, or rename each to a unique name-- I personally like the folder method. This will keep you functioning without any waste of time going forward. Just point ...

Hi All, this is probably an easy LiveCode-Newbie question, but really bugging me. The only way I've been able to get video to play on Android and IOS is by invoking the native mobile player via the mobileControl commands. I'm confused though, because in the language reference, the LiveCode Player Co...

Hi Dixie, thanks for the speedy reply and the example. I'm looking forward to checking it out tonight. Craig, thanks for the reply, I kind of thought that was the case, but after wasting quite a bit of time searching the language reference for a way to convert a string to an integer, I thought I wou...

Hi, After reading the manual entry on behaviors, and searching this forum, I think I probably already know the answer, but just to double-check... It is possible to attach multiple behaviors to an object-- like a button? If it is not possible through the property window, can multiple behaviors be in...

Hi, Mr Crussell, Since it appears that MobGUI support is currently very limited or non-existent, I think you will be on your own, as far as the MobGUI developer is concerned. This is why I decided to make sure I could implement everything before committing fully to the LiveCode platform for a projec...

Hi Ender, Just want to let you know that I just tried this file on an Android Nexus 7, Gen2 (2013 version), with OS v4.3, and the pages and elements all scale and center themselves, as expected, with gestures and menu also working properly. I also tried it on an iPad4 retina (v8.1), an old iPad1 (v5...
