Don't you read the previous postings?
LC 9.6.11 is the latest stable version.
Still might be worth checking to see if also present using 9.6.12 (RC1) and/or 10.0.0 DP8, there's a number of fixes in those...

Re: Script Widget does not work as expected

To my surprise, when I attempted to add a "mouseUp handler script" to the Script Widget in the stack, it failed to trigger :?: What do you mean by this? Do you mean adding a handler to the built widget's script window? Or inside the scriptOnlyStack that builds the widget? If it's the former, you pr...

Re: How to honor "Auto-Rotate Off" on Android

Jeff, it doesn't seem to be your code - the 6 year old bug you link has clearly been assessed as a bug affecting android (and not iPhone) and is exactly what you're describing, if I understood your issue correctly. Perhaps post a question in the bug report? Richard has done so previously to no avail...

Re: OpenCard to control?

Or maybe it's a bit cleaner to de-emphasize behaviours?

Re: OpenCard to control?

Behaviors can also be nested. The most complete representation is a vast spiderweb of connections, less instructive than a simplified model designed for learning core concepts. Agreed, which is why I didn't add anything, and the multiple behavior boxes seem annoying as well, but also seem necessary...

Re: OpenCard to control?

I do not have sufficient knowledge to correct the validity of the information in this diagram but if it is correct, I suggest using the color code from the previous diagrams (notably yellow for optional elements). And if it is correct, this diagram should appear on the official LC help, replacing t...

Re: Database using only native Livecode?

I'm sure many have used LC with something like this, but for a flat DB structure, or maybe smaller DBs with 1-2 levels of cross-"table" relationships. The main issue I imagine, is that you'd need to load the whole thing into memory. If your databases are large that will definitely be an issue. I dea...

Re: I want to obfuscate some things.

The confusion for many readers looking at this will arise from the verb "obfuscate", as you are asking for nothing of the sort as far as I can tell... obfuscate UK /ˈɒbfʌskeɪt/ verb (with object) 1. make obscure, unclear, or unintelligible e.g.: the spelling changes will deform some familiar words a...

Re: OpenCard to control?

Thinking about this more, here's a proposal for a more complete message path - happy to be corrected if I got something wrong or missed something... LC message path.jpg Where a path component is missing, go to next component, seems to ring true to me. I assume widgets/script widgets are included in ...

Re: OpenCard to control?

The obvious omission in that graph is behaviors. it's especially useful to know that the a handler will be executed first in the object carrying the behavior and then only executed in the behavior if not handled or passed in the carrying object. I'm not sure double the graph like the one you show he...

Re: ChatGPT and LiveCode

"Mostly" it's valid syntax. I haven't attempted to run it, but while it might be legitimate, a "return" from a "command" (not a function) rings like a bell made from reconstituted pork products. I regularly but less commonly use return in commands - it puts data into the result . Maybe I'm a spambo...

OK guys perhaps it's time to dismount the paranoid pony... Or to rephrase, I perhaps naively give reasonable posts the benefit of the doubt.
