Re: All Deployment Options Grayed Out In Settings

Bot or not, SparkOut and Jacque were on the right track. I own three different licenses and downloaded the wrong one.

Thanks for your help and adding a little joy to my life.

Re: All Deployment Options Grayed Out In Settings

Hi, yes Craig, when I say deploy, I mean make a standalone app. I have LiveCode Professional w/7 deployment platforms. The last time I compiled anything, I was using version 6.0.3 because later versions changed something that screwed up the program that I was working on for a customer. I have since ...

All Deployment Options Grayed Out In Settings

Greetings All,

I have used LiveCode for years, but I haven't deployed to any platform for the past 4 years. I want to deploy to a Mac, but all of the deployment options are grayed out in the settings. This must be something obvious that I am forgetting and missing.

Re: Color to Black & White

Cyril, thank you so much for the thorough explanation. It was very well done. I especially appreciated your explanation of the averaging technique of getting the grayscale value. - John

Re: Color to Black & White

Paul, thanks for the link. I’m going to watch some of the other videos that are suggested. I’m trying to wrap my head around some of the algorithms in the code. Maybe I’ll catch on and maybe not, but figuring them out is a great mental workout.

Re: Color to Black & White

After 73 years and a devastating head injury it may not have anything to do with attitude. Those days are long gone for me. Getting up each day and opening my computer to push into a new programming concept is about all the attitude I can muster these days. For me, finding something in the documenta...

Re: Color to Black & White

I didn’t try it myself because I don’t understand the concept of palettes and how they function. I have often used the forums to see if someone knows how to do something that I don’t understand. Thanks for the work you did. I will keep playing around with it.

Re: Color to Black & White

I notice that there is a pallet attribute in the export command. If I define the pallet with monochrome values, do you think that would work?

Re: resizeStack Project

What I really want is to either drag the side of the stack and have the height of the stack increase proportionally, or stage the bottom and have the width increase automatically.

Re: resizeStack Project

When I resize the stack, first I want the image to expand or shrink maintaining its original height to width ratio. Then I want to maintain ten pixels between the right side of the image and the right side of the stack. Also maintain a margin at the bottom equal to the height of my navigation button...

Re: Can't See A Visible Substack

Ah a newbie mistake. I forgot that closing LiveCode also closes all the sub stacks and that you have to open them. Thanks, Richard. You've made my day.

Can't See A Visible Substack

Greetings All, I am using LiveCode 9.6.9 (rc2) on an intel MacBook Pro. My stack has a button that shows/hides a substack used for my app settings. When I first created the substack, the "show/hide" feature worked fine. I quit LiveCode and came back to my project the next day. No matter what I do, I...
