LiveCode Forums

I think what would really help make LC more well-known and popular with students and teachers would be a model similar to what I experienced with YoYo-GameMaker. I needed a tool some time ago to program some small educational games for my students. In my search for a suitable tool that exports easil...

Of all the different software development systems I've used over the past 30 years, LiveCode is definitely the only one that periodically asks for more money. I mean, if someone had such a great business idea, surely investors should be found to fund it. Even without begging from users on a regular ...

I would love it if there was a completely free version without export options. Many potential users are pupils, students or small individual developers who first need to learn what to do with LiveCode in the first place. I see that tools like "Construct" or "GameMaker" are downloaded and used by ver...

... If you want to use to create apps for posterity you should use either an older app/licence or pay the standard plan subscription and your apps will not expire. ... ah ok, I misunderstood that. I thought that this would happen to ALL subscriptions when they end. Thanks for your explanation und c...

... ... However, what I find even more bizarre is the decision to make apps produced with the starter version stop functioning if the subscription they were produced with is no longer current. It's hard for me to imagine any devs being ok with that option. ... is that really true? Apps created with...

As I mentioned in a former post the script editor is extremly laggy on my Win10 machine. It's not only slow or something but really really slow. Sometimes when typing a word with 15 characters it needs about 15 to 20 seconds till the last character is displayed in the editor. As I wrote before there...

After spending some weeks with non LC-projects I tried the newest 9.6.3 rc1 version. Unfortunately the script editor lagging was even worse than before. When typing I had to wait several seconds(!) for the characters to appear on the screen. So I started troubleshooting again. What I did find out is...

That did the trick :D I wonder from where this revcursors stack even did come from :?: I cannot remember to have i...

I get this "revCursors is already in memory" message since my first try to build a windows standalone version with the current Indy 9.6.2. rc3 build. And really there is such a substack that I can see in the project browser. Unfortunately it is not possible to remove or delete this substack. I then ...

Today I found this thread https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=35425 in which FourthWorld says that the HTML export is "... best seen as experimental ...". I don't know if this statement refers to the HTML5 export or not. However, I am little confused about this because I planned to put s...

For my first LC-project I need a lot of data in form of vocabulary items etc. I started to collect these data in MS-Excel which is quite convenient for gathering big amounts of data. I then export these data in CSV-format and import it into LiveCode. When learning how to do this I read a lot about t...

I read some LC tutorials and two LC books in the last weeks. In this tutorial/books the authors often use buttons for showing and controlling images. The image is then a kind of property of the button. Since there is an image control of its own on the tools palette I wonder why they use buttons as a...

... play ac "name of clip.au" does the trick. ... ... Hi Klaus and thanks for your explanations. I tried play ac "name of clip.au" and found that this command works fine with the *wav audio file but not with the *.mp3 file. Unfortunately when playing the mp3 file only some static noise comes out of...

Thanks for you help

I found that I had to restart LC to see the audio-folder in the project browser (Win10 LC Build 15530).

This is very helpful because I will use a lot of different audio clips in my project and it's not easy to keep all the different names in mind
