They just don't work, while preOpen and open in a card do.

Err . . . possibly the LiveCode 'thang' has become so complicated that loading
it into the memory means there is some sort of problem with doing stuff before the stack is displayed on screen.

The file contains up to 18,000 records, so looping thru this file to find values is sub-optimal. You're telling me! 8) I don't think you need to LOOP through the file, but you do need to READ through the comma-delimited items in the file after it has been processed in the way I have demonstrated. T...

Every time I have used preOpenStack and openStack they have not worked very well, so now
I tend to go for preOpenCard and openCard.

If that is what you mean . . . - Screenshot 2020-05-26 at 11.40.42.png - button REMOVE QUOTES & FIRST LINE & REORDER on mouseUp put empty into fld "PROC1" put empty into fld "KOUNT2" put fld "prePROC" into rawDDD repeat until char 1 of rawDDD is "&" add 1 to fld "KOUNT2" if char 1 of rawDDD is quote...

My problem is with kids pretending to be attending a Zoom session:

The 'key' (that I need) to the CSV file is in the 2nd field (column). I don't think I understand that: as my Granny said, "A picture is worth a thousand words." :D - Screenshot 2020-05-26 at 11.08.49.png - If you could download that picture and mark the key I think things would be easier. Do you me...

At the risk of being offensive I have cut that enormously long CVS file down to 10 lines:
This leaves us with something manageable for development.

Introduced a COMBO button: on mouseUp answer file "Choose a CSV file to import" if the result = "cancel" then exit mouseUp else put URL ("file:" & it) into rawDDD put "&&&" after rawDDD end if ------------- put empty into fld "KOUNT2" put empty into fld "PROC1" repeat until char 1 of rawDDD is "&" a...

I am a pain in the bum because I tend to write in these reply boxes as I try things out. 1. It has 14 columns, of which only 4 are of interest to me. Which 4? The first, the last, 4 distributed in some odd fashion through each row? 2. Import the CSV file as a text file and strip out the double quote...

You could have a list field where each line contains the name of an object within a group:
new ones being added at the start of the list.

Then you could have a script that set the object in line 1 of your list to the top layer inside your group.

Err . . .

how to scroll a group with the mouse scroll wheel

My emphasis.

Either I've been a bit stupid, or I've merely missed something . . . - Screenshot 2020-05-25 at 23.20.04.png - I made a stack 400 x 400, and put a scrolling field on that card with a vertical scroll, and made that field 440 x 440. - Screenshot 2020-05-25 at 23.24.37.png - I can scroll that field wit...

Thanks for the heads up!

And, what happens after I've pressed down on my mouse wheel and then scroll back and forwards a spot? Err . . . hang about . . . that's odd, something I've not noticed before: when I scroll the mouse I get 65308 or 65309 . . . so a rawKeyDown signal is received NOT when I press down on the wheel, bu...

Well, personally I'd just group everything and then set the Vertical scroll to true.
