This is the code in question. The memory usage keeps increasing as the app runs. It works the same on 7.0 through 8.0 I have tried several parse methods that all work. The leak seems to be coming from the read file for 1 part of the code. The serial packet begins with a * and ends with a #. on readP...

I am receiving a 40 byte serial packet at 9600 baud into my live code app every second. I have used 5.5.3 through 7.1 and have observed what looks like a memory leak when the application is running and receiving serial data. The same memory increase happens in development mode and in my stand alone ...

When opening a 5.5.3 program in LC 6.5 or 6.7 or 7.0 my buttons are all black and cannot be color edited. Everything else looks to work OK. I have code that change the buttons color and text but it does not open correctly in the newer versions of Live Code. Are there any known issues in opening LC 5...

I need to display a real time scrolling chart similar to a EKG display. Can ChartsEngine do this? Are there any GUI examples that I could see where someone has actually done this in an application? I did the demo but used up all the run times just trying to learn how to set up the product. The suppo...

I need to receive and transmit control chrs (01,04 03 etc. In Hex). Are there any examples on how to detect or parse out or add these non printable chrs to my received or transmit strings?
