If you, Richard, Bogs and others are spending time gossiping about me, I'll take that as a compliment.

For example, did you know we have a secret forum called "Gossip About Kaveh" here? It's the most popular forum section we have, with permissions set so you're the only person who can't see it. ;) Where's that razor blade again? Yes, I followed the long thread with Jacque and Mark. There is a lot of...

Phew. I am putting the razor blade back in the drawer.

I think you are all lying and this is a conspiracy against me.

Oh Bogs, don't be mean. I used HyperCard since prerelease!! Someone pls pretend you are surprised, to make me happy!!

Point is HTMLText is a custom property. A field has a custom property, but a chunk of text does not.

I just thought I would report this interesting feature I discovered that I found useful. I have used but did not know you could also which is useful for me.

Anyone else surprised by this?

Perfect Bogs. It works!! Thanks, again!

I am trying to use the spinner widget. The screen is locked while it is supposed to show LC is busy. This is to save processing time. But the spinner is stationery. I have followed suggestions from here: https://livecode.com/livecode-widgets-the-spinner-activity-indicator/ and put wait 0 with messag...

OK, I had actually done this correctly before. Please see updated stack with changed to but with the same result, namely SoS viewable unencrypted.

Oops. Silly error. Let me try and report back. Thanks again Panos and great to see you on the forum.

OK, I now have a working minimal stack, using a Script-only stack. I have modified the stack script, according to Jacqueline's recipe, namely on preopenstack put specialFolderPath("resources") into tLibraryPath put tLibraryPath & "/" & "ScriptOnlyStack.livecodescript" into tPath open stack tPath sta...

Thank you so much Panos. I think it was not that obvious and I don't feel too silly. I would not have thought of that. Yup, it works.

Hi folks. I am trying to put together a minimal stack to try out this excellent suggestion by Jacqueline to encrypt Script only Stacks (SoS's) on the fly: http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2020-January/258018.html But I am falling at the first hurdle, before encryption. Please see attac...

I was just about to post that I was thinking of styledText when I referred to the arrays. I think, Hermann, that you commented a long time ago on a problem I had, after Trevor suggested styledText. I don't quite understand what would be best for me, from your comments. In my case I want to have a ra...

Oh, man. I've hit the jackpot today! Another great reply. :-) this is what I was looking for, but of course Hermann's solution has its merits. So Richard, is this the alternative way of controlling text styles to using htmlText? I have been doing all my manipulation using htmlText, with all the head...
