Yep. All good. My bad. I have to use the Project Browser to make an object invisible though. Selecting View>Show Invisible Objects seems to have no effect if the invisible object is part of a group.

Can't seem to find an answer to this. Is there a workaround so that hidden fields can form part of a group including visible fields?

Thanks. I suspected it was something of a terminally ill nature. I guess that means that any 'for sale' Mac apps should be labelled with a "do not use on MacOS Big Sur". The compiled app I have developed runs like a dog.

I have just upgraded to LC 9.6.3 (rc1) on the following system Screen Shot 2021-07-12 at 12.18.04 pm.png but when I open a project and run it, the CPU goes nuts and everything slows to a crawl. Screen Shot 2021-07-12 at 12.12.30 pm.png This seems to be an ongoing issue (LC+BigSur) .. unfortunately, ...

Screen Shot 2021-06-03 at 2.01.01 pm.png This might help, depending on how you get the files into your app in the first place. This is a little thing that will let you import from your HD into a scrolling list field then put the selected file into the player: On select files for import: on mouseUp ...

No rest for the wicked, eh? Thanks to everyone who contributed to this. I'll work through this over the weekend and report back. The more I think about it, the more I think it might be worthy of an LC dedicated lesson. After all, opening an app, then working on an output from that app, then saving t...

Can someone please point me to a resource that succinctly explains how to export text field and button data to a file then import (load) that data back into a LC standalone app? In the standalone app settings there is a setting for the LC 'document' file icon, with Document type & Document extension...

Coming from a button. Great advice, I'll try tonight.

Thanks for that .. playWithin actually works but it sets up a repeat loop that triggers the sound in a very fast loop, too fast for a user to control if several sounds are to be played. However (my edit) mouseEnter works just like I want so many thanks for the tip!!

Howdy .. can anyone confirm that mouseOver can't be used to play a sound (.aif) that has been imported to the stack? MouseDown works a treat but I'm trying to create an environment where a user can mouse over buttons that are coded to play a sound without having to click. MouseOver is silent in this...

Thanks so much! And now to figure it out!

Thanks Richard. Much appreciated. So much to learn, so little time.

Can anyone replicate a situation where, using Parallels on a Mac (or not) double-clicking the Windows .exe of your app opens your file as expected, but double-clicking the .exe of your app again opens another instance of your app ie. two windows?

LC 9.6.2.RC2 - XCode 12.1 - OSX 11.1

Selecting iPad from the development menu and hitting the 'Test' button launches the iPhone simulator. Variously, it also throws an error message (see attached).

I came across this code the other day (see the first post in this thread) and while it works on a Mac in a scrolling list field, it's throwing an error in a Windows standalone, stalling as per the screenshot. Any ideas would be most welcome. None of the terms eg. 'lastPosition' are in the dictionary...
