Dear Experts What is the difference/benefit between an own message handler or a command for using them. I made this coding just for demonstrating my question. on mouseUp ## own message with same output informing ## command with same output inform end mouseUp on informing answer "This is an informati...

Hi It looks like the Opaque property of your button might be set to true, try setting it to false. You might also need to set 3-D and Show border to false. It looks like you have already set Show name to false. Kind regards Elanor Thanks Elanor I found now a solution for the problem. Befor asking m...

You could try this trick I learned from Jacque... You can choose the paint bucket tool and right click on the white background. That will turn it transparent. If you accidentally miss, undo works. Thanks for your help, that works not completly for me. Just a part of the white background is deleted....

Personally I would not use a button, I would use a graphic rectangle instead (it can still have code in it so it behaves like a button). This is in the cardScript: on openCard set the backGroundPattern of grc "FFRAME" to the ID of img "earth" end openCard https://www.dropbox.com/s/je0ladx3bjpjn8u/C...

Dear Experts I made a little animation. The background of the card itself is outer space. The background icon of an animated button is an image icon earth. But as you can see, there is a white background which is disturbing. My question: is there a possibility to put a round image like my earth with...

I am using LC indy 9.6.2, os Windows 10 and my solution works fine. But it plays only one certain song ('sheeran.wav'). I want to select the wav file from a textfield, option field or preferably with an os 'open file' dialog.

Thanks a lot

Dear experts Is it possible to load all songs in a music folder into a field with name. Then an entry is selected and this song is played in liveCode. That is what I made up to now for only one song: on mouseUp put specialFolderPath("desktop") into myPath ## all songs are in the folder desktop\sound...

Hi Mike, yep, don't think too complicated and let LC do the tedious stuff! :-) Here another solution without the need to check for doublettes: on mouseUp ## Create a list with 10 numbers repeat with i = 1 to 10 put i into item i of tList end repeat ## Let LC mix the items in the list sort items of ...

Thanks for your help!! Hi Mike, another one.... function get6RandomNumbersFrom aList repeat 4 delete any item of aList end repeat return aList end get6RandomNumbersFrom on mouseUp put get6RandomNumbersFrom("1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10") into fld 1 end mouseUp Thierry Incredible solution, thanks a lot!!

Hi Mike, something like this... on mouseUp repeat until the number of lines in tData is 6 put random(10) into tTest if tTest is not among the lines of tData then put tTest & cr after tData end if end repeat delete char -1 of tData -- a return -- the list is not orderd -- order list -- sort tData as...

Dear experts I know that there are better ways to solve this problem, but I want to try it in a certain way to solve my problem I want to a.) create a list of 6 random numbers between 1 and 10 b.) these numbers should also be written in a list c.) for every new random numbers one should look in the ...
