LiveCode Forums.

Hi.

As Richmond said, all the functions you mentioned are native to LC. So my question to you is this: Did you just not know that, or are you having difficulty implementing them?

In other words, and never mind how the user interface might work, are you able to simply: on mouseup
ask "Enter angle ...

As tan , sine , cosine and so forth are built into LiveCode
people like You and I can "cheat", and not get all worried about the shame
of being bad at Maths at school.

Hello!

I got tasked recently to create a calculator which i have managed to create a standard one with a few basic functions... The problem comes when i tried to escalate it into a scientific calculator which is actually just adding tan,cos,sin,tan-1,cos-1,sin-1 functions (I know that's not all to ...

It probably is not supposed to happen, and it is not just on your machine (happened on my machine as well, linux box).

Hmmm... Is anyone else having the same problem? I'm currently using version 9.0 livecode.

Slightly changed stack is attached.
Hi Jim,

The stack you attached works and looks way smoother than mine thanks :lol:
I tested it out and after i held down an arrow key for a period of time let's say around 2 seconds? It starts to flicker between the arrow and the circle and is stuck in the same ...

Hi all!

Thanks for the replies. There's definitely a lot of new valuable information posted here since the last time i checked. Unfortunately I'm still tied up with work and haven't gotten the time to work on this but i do check on this thread occasionally in hopes there might be suggestions for ...

Hi bogs,

This is exactly what I was going for! Thanks
I'll definitely get back to improving this game when i am given the time to.
This would really help me out greatly.
Once again, thanks to everyone who replied!

Hi!

Thanks for the replies and advice given. They're greatly appreciated. Unfortunately time is not a luxury for this game as it's actually for work so certain things that can't be done on time has to be dropped and move on to keep things going. However, working on this and receiving help for it ...

Well, instead of testing for empty in the arrowKey set, you might try this -

on rawKeyUp theCode
if theCode <> "" then
set the icon of button "Button" to "1003"
else
pass rawKeyUp
end if
end rawKeyUp



Thanks. This works if the arrow keys are being tapped.
However in this case, the ...

Hi bogs


Buttons can be transparent or opaque. One of their nice features is seen on the 'icons' section, you can set a different graphic based on which of those you call. Here is a little transparent guy on a little transparent button.

Hi bogs

Unfortunately, the answer to that (for me) is always "it depends", and it is going to depend on a number of things I don't know about what your doing. If your image is just free roaming around, i.e. you just want it going in the direction of the arrow key, then probably I would be using ...

Heya!
Thanks for the replies :D


I would say trap the arrowKey message, something like (dictionary, arrowKey)

on arrowKey theKey -- make Up arrow go to the first card
if theKey is "up" then
set the visible of image "Idler" to false
move image "(image chosen for 'up')" relative 50,0 without ...
