LiveCode Forums

Hello, we've got a LiveCode app that's been deployed out in the wild for about 18 months now. Usually getting about 300-400 folks annually using it 3 or more times per week. Nothing huge, but it's been through the paces. A new organization started using the application, and are having audio issues o...

SparkOut is probably right about the margin. The overall issue had to do with location not being locked on the group or the images in the group and the fact that the group members were being hidden and shown, causing the group to automatically resize to just fit the visible images. Since location is...

I've been working on refactoring someone else's stacks, using groups for graphics that are repeated on multiple cards to reduce the size a bit. The problem I'm running into is when a group of images is in a different position on one card than the other. Since changing anything in a group changes it ...

Thanks. Good to know I'm not totally wrong about the concept at least. I will put together a test stack and try that out when I get a chance. I have a feeling it will probably work fine with that and that there's something interfering in the stack structure.

BoundingRect box in the preference panel is empty. Should I try explicitly setting it to empty in the script?
Locked box is unchecked and I've explicitly set lockLoc to false in the script.

I've got a group of a couple dozen objects, and when I move any of the objects, they disappear as they pass the boundary of the group. The group resizes automatically when a handler sets all the images back to their starting locations, the group shrinks to be just big enough to fit the objects. But ...

I understand Craig, and trying to decipher someone's vague description of their code and what they are trying to accomplish is even more challenging! I'm making progress now, I learned a lot getting past this roadblock and now have a better "picture" in my head of how I should be designing my projec...

Thanks for all the tips everyone. I tried the various suggestions, but due to the nature of the project, and the fact that the stacks I have been trying to exit out of are written by someone else and only alterable to a small extent by me, I ended up altering the program structure to some extent so ...

Separate the closing actions out into another handler in the same script, something like: on closeMe close this stack end closeMe Then in the handler you want to exit: send "closeMe" to me in 0 exit to top Sending in 0 will execute the close immediately after the scripts are halted. Thanks for the ...

Thanks for the response. But if you manually exit, (perhaps by having the running handler interrogate the state of the mouse or the optionKey, say?) then you can do or go anywhere you want. Yes, I can go wherever I want, but once I get there, and reach the end of openCard, program execution continue...

Is there anything in livecode that is something between "exit" (only halts the handler it is called inside of) and "exit to top" (halts the entire callstack)? Optimal would be some way to get the currently running handler, then tell it to stop. I have a feeling this isn't possible, but thought I'd a...
