Yes, I understand. I've sort of solved the problem by using a slightly different procedure. I've made my script (a download and file updater) a two-step method: the user downloads the file by clicking a button, then clicks another button to install when the download is complete. Before it was a sing...

HI, I'm using the following script to download a file. After the download I move on to other things, How do I modify this script to force LiveCode to wait until the download is completed before doing anything else besides updating a progress bar? Currently the program moves on to other handlers that...

I have a desktop application is going to use an online registration scheme to validate that the user is a licensed user of my software. A friend of mine has written the CGI scripts and created the online database for all this. He's not a RunRev guy, but has told me what he needs to get from the stac...

Found the problem. I made a new stack and copied some things over and got the same error. So it made me think that there was something wrong with the particular background script itself. Sure enough, funny characters in the script that work on a Mac, but don't translate to PC. The characters that ar...

Yes, it was converted on a Mac.

I thing you're right, that something in the conversion has, well, disabled some functionality.

I'm thinking of now creating a new stack and moving all the data over...

I have a strange bug happening in Windows, but not in OS X When I send a message to a particular background from a card button, in Windows I get an "Execution Error." In OS X, no problems. I've tried various testing scenarios to narrow down the problem. This works, and outputs "there is a background...

Thanks!

The menubar in my main stack has only the "LIvecode" and "Edit" menus only. Other stacks in the project have the full IDE menubar. I want to get it all back during development. A substack has a custom menubar containing only "File" and Edit." I think something is confused now in the main stack. When...

I've got it:
set the HTMLText of field 1 to the text of field ID 2

That seems to just put the contents of field 2 into field 1 (the raw HTML).

I'm putting the htmlText of the styled text of field 1 into field 2. I modify the HTML of the second field. Now I want to put that new HTML back into field 1 displayed as regular styled text. Is there a command for this?

Of course. Thanks!

Is there a property that indicates the source of a message? For example, which button that was clicked that sent the message.

I'm wanting to play QT audio (music) from a server in my desktop app for Mac and PC. I'm playing the audio and doing something similar to the talking storybook in the LiveCode resources where I'm using callbacks from the player to trigger events. In my case I'm turning the border on and off around b...

But also look at the "mode" property.

Thanks, that's it!
