Re: setting polygon points

I tried that. But without the space characters between. Didn't work. The dictionary says that you can "set" points from comma delineated lists... but "put" points always returns lines of x,y pairs.

setting polygon points

I've put the following code into a button's script:

on mouseUp
put "100,100,200,200,100,500" into myPoints
set the points of graphic "myPoly" to myPoints
end mouseUp

There is of course a polygon on the same card named "myPoints"

But when I click on the button, nothing happens.

What is up???

Re: SuperCard $279 , LiveCode $99

OK, followup question: Is the same current version of LiveCode compatible with pre-Lion Apple OS's?

SuperCard $279 , LiveCode $99

SuperCard is charging between $179 to $279 to upgrade from version 4.6.3 to version 4.7, the version necessary if you upgrade to Apple's latest OS, "Lion". The cost of an outright purchase of RunRev's LiveCode is only $99. So I guess I should ask if LiveCode is compatible with Lion OS?

Re: Layers protocol…

Yes, I agree, cards and windows "stacks" and projects (what does LC call what SC calls a "project"?) are objects as well. Of course. But the word "control" suggests (in english) an actionable or dynamic object. This is as true of cards and stacks. And it isn't true when applied to on-screen (in-card...

Re: Layers protocol…

LiveCode's use of the word "control" as a label for "object", (or "instance") seems very awkward and arbitrary to this newbie's ear. I assumed that the word "object" was being used for something else… but it doesn't appear in a search of the LC dictionary. ? Maybe the answer has something to do with...

Re: Layers protocol…

I have been working in SuperCard on a "layers" protocol ad-on (substitute). A set of functions that allow easy and intuitive real time control over objects that have been "grouped" or in this case pseudo-grouped. I have found that supercard's native group and ungroup commands and resulting functiona...

Re: Layers protocol…

I am a SuperCard user from way way way back. Am considering a transition to liveCode. I write self-evolving AI based on thermodynamics and information theory. Nobody has ever labeled my work, or choice of projects, "lazy". That is a first! Crazy maybe. Too ambitious. Impractical. But never lazy. My ...

Re: Layers protocol…

OK, Safari now working on my mac with runrev forums! Here is what we found at the apple store. Their versions of Safari worked with runrev forums. So we went looking for malware. There is an extension to Safari called Cooliris… don't ever install it! It has morphed over the months into a kind of vir...

Re: Layers protocol…

On my way to the local Apple store to experiment with logging in to the runrev forums from other machines running safari. Will report results.

Re: Layers protocol…

Hey Richard,

I am accepting cookies "Only from sites I visit" (Safari/Preferences/Security/Accept Cookies/).

All other settings are set to true.

Are you running on a similar platform? (OS X 10.6.7)
