Hate to trudge up a post from years ago, but I'm running into the same issue in the year 2021. I have a very simple stack with three cards, the first card contains two buttons that are grouped. In my case, the "Behave like a background" remains checked but the grouped buttons are not applied to the ...

Very cool service (LiveCloud) you've created there Mark! The NurseNotes in the apps Showcase really left an impression on me since I'm health professional myself.

Cheers,

Thanks Klaus, bogs and everyone ... that did the trick.

So, 'len' is a synonym of 'length' afterall. Good to know

It appears to be relegated to my Mac. When I open the same project on Windows, it's normal.

I'm not sure if this is what you're trying to do or if there is a better way. I'm learning LC myself.

I wrote this bit of code and it works

Code: Select all

on mouseUp pButtonNumber
   ask "Enter some text"
   put it into aWord
   answer "Your text has " & length(aWord) & " letters in it."
end mouseUp

isn't 'len' a Python method? I believe LiveCode uses 'length'

Example: the length of "ABC" -- returns 3

Every tutorial I read or watch shows just the files associated with a particular stack, but mine shows a very long list of libraries even with a new stack. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Thank you Klaus. The Android SDK was a bit of a challenge since the SDK is installed in a hidden Library folder. I could see it in the Finder, but not from within the LiveCode ... finally just dragged the folder from the finder to the LiveCode's finder and it worked.

I believe I found the answer in this thread "Is there going to be any LC support for Xcode beyond 12,1?"

EDIT: Installed XCode 12,1 and LiveCode recognized it ... now onto Android

I'm in the process of adding Mobile Support via preferences. I have only one version of XCode in my applications folder, the latest. LiveCode states it needs ios 14,1 SDK (among others) So I load the 14,1 SDK within XCode, but LiveCode still does not recognize it. Any hints? MacBookPro 2019, macOS B...

Very cool SteveFi programming for the ZX Spectrum! Mikey, it will be interesting to see how Xojo (RealBasic) handles Android. Erel (B4X) has been rather successful using his version of Basic as a wrapper for Java for the Android platform.

@chikega how did your experience compare with LiveCode? You know Revolution evolved into LiveCode, right? Did you try the Revolution examples from the book? Yes, Sparkout, I'm aware. :D - see attached pic. I worked through all the exercises in the book - C++, Liberty Basic, Revolution(Live Code) an...
