LiveCode Forums

the search function on the forums doesn't always seem to work all that well... (hence google first) Since your comfortable with the big "G's" search site, it is reasonably easy to suggest using it to search the forum to you. The format (for any search site I've ever used) would be done like this: [...

I want to thank you for letting me know about pearpc Alan, I hadn't come across that one before!

Ok, see you in 2030 then, take care

"Called you out" seems so ... violent, somehow

I think you called the wrong guy, Craig, you and Bernd have it well in hand, as far as I can tell

However, WHY is there never an error on the "repeat with x = 1 to 10" line? Isn't "x" a local variable also in the script above? Why does it not need to be declared? Not exactly. Repeat is a control structure, and the conditions are predefined already by the structure. Dictionary - The condition is...

You probably missed the other 2 threads where they are asking for a developer to create this. Klaus suggested a few more details would be in order, and they certainly have provided them.

Wait, what ?! You stumped Klaus ????? I don't think that has ever happened before...

I wasn't able to recreate the issue on 'nix moving a stack in a similar manner (Mc -> Rev. 4 -> Lc 9.6 community) on 'nix, so I'd ask that you include your Os after answering Craig's questions. Does a newly made field in your updated stack also not contain the contents... Well, he did write that - I...

A lot of astoundingly good programming has been removed or veiled, but fortunately there is still content he continues to host, and here: https://hyperhh.de/widgets/ you will see one of the widgets is for text rotation (called OrientedText). You won't get a better solution. You *might* find a bette...

Similarly, LC offers "do <otherLanguageStatements> as...", where the "as" clause specifies the target language, where the target language can be any of the host-OS-provided options returned with the alternateLanguages function. Pretty useless on 'nix though, as it is only supported on Mac, Win, and...

That isn't still available in Lc? Shows how little I know

However, I was referring to a completely different scripting language, in this case .js

No constructive point in the OP's original post I do think a bit more documentation about how one might connect "something" written in LiveCode with "something" written in another programming language might not be a bad thing. Here's a good starting point: https://livecode.com/resources/api/#liveco...

However, the rest have made a 5 page discussion around the original subject, and are prepared to engage. Guilty as charged, however, since there is already a language devoted and about Js, I still have to say I don't see any point to turning another language into it :P :P :P <I do wonder if we can ...

I'm not positive I understand the goal. You can certainly have a group of images (depending on how you want the holes to appear, an animated gif would do), and have the window shape change based on the image used.

For instance, this little time waster (press esc. to kill it).
