LiveCode Forums.

For what it's worth, I've found that the function provided by Klaus in his latest post -- which I learned from him some years ago, and which in my code is actually commented as "the Klaus function" -- still apparently works just fine in Mac and Win builds. The clinicians who employ my Mac/Win app ro...

Thanks, Craig and Paul, for your helpful comments. Per Craig’s suggestion, the plan will be to rewrite the HC program in LC using the original code only as a guide. I did download a very old guide to importing a HC stack into Revolution – written perhaps by forum member Jacque? – but that seems more...

On a whim, I pulled out my first Mac (SE/30) – which, after a few restarts, amazingly booted up – to discover the first program I’d ever created: a gaming app, written in 1993 using HyperTalk in conjunction with the CompileIt! app. It actually ran again nicely on the SE/30, and if I could recreate i...

Hi oldummy -- Last spring I built a LiveCode stack that creates a playlist from my archive of .mp3 music files stored on disk. Although perhaps a bit more elaborate than what you need -- in my case, the stumbling block was employing callbacks with a player object to advance a progress bar, which the...

Klaus & Albert -- Got a chuckle out of Albert's clever nickname for your suggested addition to his code, which I believe translates as "Shake before using." But apart from the fact that it apparently works for him, Albert does still raise the legitimate question as to why this fix was even necessary...

Upon incorporating the aforementioned code into the actual program, the shortcut keys all worked fine when tested on the old refurbished Windows 10 laptop I’d purchased last year to test Win standalones. So no problem. Right? Yet the Danish musician who inspired the app has reported that while most ...

Thanks so much for the insight you’d provided regarding Windows, which is still essentially alien to me. (I really must get a copy of “Windows for Dummies.”) I’ve attached the latest “TestKeyCmds.livecode” stack. To see the Mac vs. Win issue that I’ve wrangled with, I suppose that you’d need to buil...

For what it’s worth, I did promise to post an update here after experimenting with a bare-bones stack that included only the three radio-btn groups for which I wished to employ custom commandKey combinations, along with three fields to monitor the respective custom property set by each. Savvy forum ...

Yes, I'd considered that possibility (after discovering that Opt+Cmd+D could not be used on the Mac because this would only display the Mac taskbar). But I've looked up each problematic key combination on the convenient website https://defkey.com that maintains a database of all programs employing a...

Thanks, SparkOut, for educating me as to how Windows users typically navigate and select controls – and that the dashed border in Windows is actually a feature that identifies the currently focused button. Per your instructions, I did find that I can tab through the radio btns across the three btn g...

Upon completing a much simplified redesign of my freeware cross-platform (Mac/Win) music app, I’ve encountered a vexing problem that affects only the Windows standalone. (The stack works flawlessly in the IDE on my Mac and as a Mac standalone, but thankfully I acquired a cheap refurbished PC last ye...

Good News Update: I've just heard from the user who reported the Sonoma problem that she was able to install and run flawlessly the updated standalone (built using LC 9.6.11) on her M-series MacBook Pro. As a sidenote: In preparing the update for signing/validating/stapling, I did discover that I ha...

Has anyone by chance tried lately to sign a standalone that employs the inclusion “SSL & Encryption”? This was not a problem as recently as July, but both when using the terminal and when using Matthias’ updated helper stack, code-signing fails with a message “errSecInternalComponent in subcomponent...

Thanks Jacque and Klaus for the quick replies! I suppose I should do due diligence: Download a copy of Sonoma, install it on an external SSD, then see how the rebuilt app runs in Sonoma on a M-era Mac. Still, nice to know that after rebuilding the app using LC 9.6.11 and completing the tedious proce...

One of the few users of my app reports that it fails to open in macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 (error “pc register does not match crashing frame”) – presumably due to the menu issue mentioned elsewhere in the forums. The standalone was built in June using LC 9.6.9. She’d had no problem previously, so I assume ...
