Re: Having trouble building an app

I'm unsure if anything is changed in livecode as compared to Revolution. Does go to stack "whatever" close the stack you are leaving from? It has been a few years since I have done much with this, so I know I have forgotten so much. So are you saying I can save my stack from the application still as...

Re: Having trouble building an app

Ok. I do have a working application and substack that does indeed save the data. It's a diary dating back all the way to Hypercard 2.2. Changed it over with Runtime Revolution 4.0. But yes, the folder contains the application and the stack in a folder named "data" and I use it fairly often. I tried ...

Re: Having trouble building an app

Icon warning fixed by choosing use none And while I thought I was out of the woods with this, the data in my substack will not save. I have tried to save the data in the substack in so many scripts and have yet to have it save any changes. Here are all of the scripts: Mainstack script: on preOpenSta...

Re: Having trouble building an app

Yes, de-selecting that cured it. I am only just starting to do this again after years of being away. Thank you all. ANyone want to take a guess at that warning about the icon? Thanks again. Hopefully I can go back over my older stacks and remember more.

Re: Having trouble building an app

Originally, there were two stacks, which is why I suppose I was getting two stacks at finish. Now the there is only one stack when I build. They are both shown in the "stacks" section. I do have "move substacks into individual stackfiles" selected as well as "create folder for stackfiles (data). Als...

Re: Having trouble building an app

With all of my thrashing about with this problem I have fooled myself into writing my previous post wrongly. My apologies. This I hope will clarify what is going on. I uninstalled and reinstalled livecode 9.6.2. My stack(a very simple one) is simply somewhere to record my blood glucose levels. My ma...

Re: Having trouble building an app

I'm running livecode 9.6 on windows 10.
Also the application runs builder runs with all the dialogues I always had, and says it's successful. Creates the app folder with two stacks in it instead of the app file with the stack file in the folder 'DATA'

Having trouble building an app

I have made a stack with one substack. The main stack simply has a button to go to the other stack. All works fine, but when I build the application I wind up with two stacks and no application. I have made applications in the past and never had trouble with this. Has anything changed in the applica...

Preventing substack from being opened

I have a mainstack that has one substack with sensitive information in it. The mainstack can open, but one cannot proceed to the substack without the correct password. Even though it is encrypted, I would feel more comfortable if there was absolutely no way someone could open the substack through li...

Saving last card of a background

I' have been away from revolution/Livecode for years now but I am working my way back through things again. One little project I am working on has 2 cards with no background(group), and the remaining cards have a background on them containing 6-7 field and buttons. In the property inspector for the ...

Re: Issues changing layers

Sorry to drag this out, but I tried grouping the btns, and then I could adjust the numbers and layers to my desire, and the scripts using the btn numbers did in fact work.

Re: Issues changing layers

I too am having this same problem. I have a group of 6 buttons. They are not the issue as far as I know, but rather the remaining 32 btns that are not grouped. I am using their numbers in a script, but the numbers have changed and I cannot re-order them without everything reverting back to the wrong...
