Re: How to resume script execution in main stack after closing another stack?

Richmond.

What does your "Flash" stack do?

I believe the OP, if a real person (we have not yet heard back) asked about closing the other stack, not simply hiding it. Hiding does not impact a running handler at all. Closing definitely might.

It does not matter if that "other" stack is a subStack ...

Re: How to resume script execution in main stack after closing another stack?

Hi, if you are real.

Do you mean you closed the "other" stack, or the mainStack?

If the other stack, you need do nothing. The script will continue to run normally after that line. If you mean the mainStack, well that is different altogether.

Which?

Sparkout.

Does this mean we should be eagerly engaging with AI bots so they will better train their LC capabilities?

Re: Calendar sync from LiveCode – what's everyone using these days?

So somebody, an actual human, must be somewhere behind these efforts, no? What I mean is that although AI wrote this, a person put it up to it. Who are those people? Don't tell me AI does this just for its own giggles.

Re: Transferring variables between AppleScript and LiveCode

Stam.

Right you are.

But assuming LC is running on his machine, and whatever the source of the appleScript, how would any such source pop itself into LC? Where would it land?

Re: Transferring variables between AppleScript and LiveCode

Bernd, Stam.

Is it possible the OP is talking about the form "do as AppleScript", and wants some data to return to LC?

Re: Icon disappearing in compiled app?

OK.

I assume NOT removing the code will also work.

It could just be a glitch. Yesterday a stack I have used forever all of a sudden would only print the bottom 80% of a card. I tried everything, setting the print area, whatever.

So then I closed LC and reopened. Fixed.

Re: Icon disappearing in compiled app?

I cannot believe it is a code issue. When you make a standalone from a stack, the thinking is that everything comes over intact. I would send your stack to LC.

Re: matchText goes 'all sensitive'.

Stam.

In the dictionary:
The string and regularExpression are always case-sensitive, regardless of the setting of the caseSensitive property. (
That is what Richmond was on about. Do I still misunderstand?

Re: matchText goes 'all sensitive'.

Richmond.

It used to only be "true". Likely this is helpful given that the source text may be sloppily constructed.

Re: Why does my LiveCode script fail to properly update and pass data between stacks using send and dispatch

@Sadovel784.

You sound real. My post implied that the OP was not.

I have been wrong about that sort of thing. I am very interested in hearing back from either of you.

I have never used responsive layout, if that matters.
