LiveCode Forums.

Yes I saved the Stack. I have a nervous habit of saving a lot.

BTW, after quite a few hours of work, LiveCode corrupted the Stack file. I shan't be using LiveCode anymore.

Klaus,

This worked, however, I had to close and reopen the Stack before the change would take effect. What's up with that?

Hi Klaus, no I defined the global in the Main Stack, no handlers; a true global should not have to be defined in a handler..

Craig, yes it doesn't make sense (to programmers anyway) to have to declare a global again, once declared at the top of the stack. Yes I had defined the image value in a ...

ok..I changed my handler to this:

on mouseUp
global deckImg
if the icon of me <> deckImg then
set the icon of me to deckImg
else
set the icon of me to the iconImg of me
end if
end mouseUp

my main stack still has:

global deckImg
put 1062 into deckImg

Result:

My button has no image ...

Say what? A global, is a global, is a global!

Global declared in my main stack script:

global deckImg
put 1062 into deckImg


code in my Mouse hander:
on mouseUp
answer deckImg
if the icon of me <> the backImg of me then
set the icon of me to the backImg of me
else
set the icon of me to the iconImg of me
end if
end mouseUp


Result ...

I'm not quite a fan just yet. I simply declared and initialized a global at the main stack:

global deckImg
put 1062 into deckImg


There is no value in the global in my mouse handler....

I am interested eventually to create light weight user interfaces that use RESTful services as the backend.

Hi Craig,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I am just starting out; I am a C# developer...

Hello,

I downloaded a sample Stack which says the scripts are open for examination. A .rev file was downloaded; how do I see the scripts in the file?

Regards.
