OK I finally got a chance to try Craig's handler and it works but I have a problem accessing other menu options while I am flipping through the picture loop my handler is any ideas on mouseUp set the loc of img 1 to "200,200" set the width of img 1 to 400 set the height of img 1 to 400 put the loc o...

Thanks for the input I will get some time to
Try this stuff out on the weekend

I am using a new app and on the main screen the background picture slowly zooms in then flips to a new picture that does the same thing. There are three pictures it flips between. It is a really cool effect I wonder if there is an easy way to do this type of thing with livecode?

I placed the call to the handler rex at the end of the closefield handler in the field script it seems to work well it manipulates the field first (rounds etc...) next it goes to the card script and runs the handler rex to recalculate the card. The recalculation is where most of the work happens and...

I think I answered my own question. I just needed to name the handler in the field script "rex" or some other name then
in the card script type
on rex
put fld aa + fld BB into fld cc
end rex

so simple I hope this is the best way

Thanks I will put the handler in the card script. One simple question how does on close field in the
field script call on the handler in the card script to execute the recalculation?

I have a card with several number fields when I exit any of these fields I would like to make a recalculation of the card. I would like to place the code for the recalculation either in the card script or the stack script so I only have to do this once. My question is 2 part. Part 1 what do I put in...

Hi Craig The handler works fine now thanks I also discovered buy using a next and previous button and the right combination of the show/hide commands I can move from group to group just like flipping through cards :D . Its a small thing with big power for my app. Now I am going to change my original...

Hi Craig I tried it out and it works good. This could work if I put a version of the handler in a previous and next button. I get the idea with two fields or two groups would it be to much to ask to show me how a version of the handler would handle three fields or groups after that I think I can fil...

Hi Craig

I didn't have any luck trying this. I put fld 1 and fld 2 on a card created the button add the script but
when I used the button nothing happened. Did I miss something? Also will this work with six different
groups of fields? Thanks

I guess I don't know enough about how to use groups like individual cards. I like the idea of one card being one record because it is simple to create the data base however it would require and redo on the design of the app. One thing I am curious about is moving between groups on a single card. How...

I am deciding between and array and a data grid right now I have some time to learn but
don't know much about either method. Can either one of these methods be updated real time on closefield when entering data or is this just
a pipe dream and I will need to create a save function Thanks

Thanks for the input. Part of the functionally for the user involves having the data for a single record spread out on six different cards they flip back and forth through. I will not get into it to much but each record represents a complicated real estate deal that is best viewed on several cards. ...

I am comfortable creating cards in a stack moving between cards creating fields and manipulating the data in the fields for presentation purposes. The app is complete and works well manipulating a lot of dollar value defined fields. Its just that right now it only holds one record. I understand how ...

Sorry but I am relatively new to live code and programming and I don't understand how to implement your response, but its nice to know it can be done. I am going to need a little more guidance. Do I create a new card on the front end of my stack to use as the interface to look at a list of existing ...
