Thank you, Klaus. You were correct. That was what I wanted..

I guess I needed to be specific. I want a tab action, not a tab in the sense of spacing. My intention is to allow text entry from a screen "keyboard" by clicking on a letter which puts the letter into a field and then the cursor should move to the next field as it would if the tab key were pressed. ...

How does one write a script to effect the pressing of the tab key? The dictionary seems to indicate it can't be done, but there must be some workaround.
Thanks,
Dave

I don't often look at the forum, so I don't know if this has come up. However, with LC 7, I can't print a card from some point to another point, say print this card from 0,0 to 500,700 however it works fine with LC 6.6.2. Stopping at "print this card" works as expected. Is this a known problem or is...

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I'll just forget about trying to build for iOS. Maybe I should give my grandson my old MacBook and get myself a new one.

I have built a simple game which I'd hoped to give to my grandson to play with on an iPod Touch. I run an older MacBook with OS 10.7.5 (as high as it goes) and have been using the latest free LC. I read through a post from a few months back regarding xCode, and am wondering if, not only am I way ove...

Thanks for the reply.

After I copied a portion of the script into this window, I had a closer look, and I think I found the problem. I'll work on it some more tomorrow.

Thanks anyway,
Dave

I am working on a simple stack to create a sudoku. I have a button to populate the grid with random numbers (which follows the requirements of no duplication in single row, column or block of 9) and it hangs somewhere in the middle. The main work is done inside a double repeat loop, one to work acro...

Thanks, Simon. Formattedheight and formattedwidth was what I needed. The rest was already in place.

I want to import an image and base the action taken with the image on its dimensions. I've been using the answer file command, but don't see how to test the dimensions, because it appears it just fills whatever blank image is waiting for it. Is there a better way than answer file, or have I missed s...

Perhaps there is a difference with this older version. However, as a hobbyist pensioner, I'm not about to spend the money to upgrade. It does what I want at this point (usually). With your code and no font specified for the field, I just get the same thing over: ♠ ♥ etc. If I specify t...

Further to this, I found that working backwards with the symbols in fields using the Symbol font, the htmlText of the fields were: <p>™</p><p>©</p><p>®</p><p>ß</p>. These are, in order, spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. If the font is not specified in the field, the proper symb...

I tried the suggestion, but it did not work for me. I just get the expression in the field, eg. &clubs;, etc.

Thanks, anyhow.
Dave

Thank you for the reply. I will try that out.

Dave

I should add that I'd like the symbols to appear both as button labels and in fields. The button labels could be dealt with as icons from image files, but if there's a font substitution which would work, that would be simpler.
