Re: Need help with "disabling" a button!

I tried to see if I could recreate the phenomenon in a whole new project, and the answer was yes. I have 2 buttons: ABC and XYZ. Button ABC does pickQuestion on mouseUp, and button XYZ does submitAnswer on mouseUp. The entirety of the card script is: on pickQuestion disable button "ABC" show button ...

Re: Need help with "disabling" a button!

Spoke too soon - the app works correctly now in LiveCode, but when I put the app onto a tester device or test in the simulator, the flushevents doesn't work. I also tried using mobileClearTouches, but that doesn't seem to work in my version of LiveCode (it's in the dictionary, but when I type it int...

Re: Need help with "disabling" a button!

SparkOut, you're amazing!! That worked!! I put:

Code: Select all

Re: Need help with "disabling" a button!

Klaus, thank you for the suggestions! The lock screen function works great and is much cleaner in presentation. Craig, I agree, it seems like something is haunted! I created a new button with a new name in a different part of the screen and deleted the former "Ready" button in case there was somethi...

Essentially, yes. However, the action that the button does on mouseUp doesn't start until the button becomes enabled again. So if the button is disabled for 1 minute, and you click on that button during the 1 minute, nothing happens immediately, but as soon as the button is enabled after that 1 minu...

Re: Need help with "disabling" a button!

Thanks for your suggestions! dunbarx is correct - I've disabled the troublesome button and also attempted to hide or cover it. Yet, somehow, the system is registering a click on the button even when the button is disabled, and saving it up, so to speak. Then as soon as the button is enabled, the cli...

A student clicks the "Ready" button, and four letters appear on the screen and an audio file plays saying "Touch the Letter A". After the student clicks on one of the letters, feedback will be ...
