Re: Empty application folder upon build

First,thanks for the reply. The app folder that was empty was just named jukebox, no .exe or app in the name, No windows reserved folder name either,( had an experience with that problem). It turned out you were right again. There was a substack listed with in there. I deleted it and all should work...

Re: Problem generating random numbers

I just tried your script in LC and it worked just fine.Thanks. I may go back and see if my old script may work differently if I use a field rather than the message box.
Thanks again.

Problem generating random numbers

on mouseup Livecode 9.6 Community I have a little stack in which I need a few (1 to 3) random numbers inserted before some text. I have came up with the following. This is just the initial experiment to generate the needed numbers at random. When I step it through the debugger, it works correctly. C...

The only options I see concerning backdrops in preferences is to choose which c...

Re: getting filenames

I only just now saw your post Jaque.
Thank you Jaque. You've read my mind. That was the next issue I was going to deal with. Those fields I have will now be a lot more narrow!

getting filenames

The music player I am working on has a limitation that I cannot seem to work around. In the playlist it will only play the music from the defaultfolder, so I cannot mix various artists in the playlist as the defaultfolder changes from artist to artist. I've made some spectacularly awful attempts so ...

Re: Player repeat loop

I thank you both for the your help with this. And I really appreciate your album stack jmk. I'm afraid it was a little too far over my head at this time, but I intend to use it to learn about callbacks, as I know nothing about them yet. I did use KI did use klaus's suggestion and went with the plays...

Setting the defaultfolder on the fly

I'm having a problem trying to change the defaultfolder at will. I am certain my problem is glaringly obvious to most of you, but obviously not to me. I'm wondering it it is the fact that I am using a cp for part of the filepath. What I am doing "seems" reasonable but I suppose it is not. My intent ...
