Re: Using Ping command, time response

Any ideas on how I can do this, would like to check if a website running or not and have a colour bar represent its state. I modified the code of "shaosean" (Thanks!) to report the average time for the ping command to a particular site. (apple.com gives the lowest ping time I've ever found.) comman...

send (pass) a message to objects below

When I put a text field over a rectangle or a rectangle over a window, I expected that it would be invisible to events if it had no script. It seems to block them though. So I tried adding on mouseDown pass mouseDown end mouseDown to top object. Still no luck. Is there a stack/card/object property t...

drag the application window (mainstack)

I'd like to be able to drag the stack around like I would any window by moving the titlebar. a) How do I make a titlebar visible? If I do get a titlebar does it also have a closebox to quit the app? When I compiled this stack, I discovered there was no Quit/Exit! Do I have to explicitly write a Quit...

variable naming conventions

In trying to understand some of the code samples, I find some naming conventions used that I don't understand, hence they're not helping me understand the code: what is implied by the prefix "t" and "p" for variables. (g or g_ I understand to indicate a global var) such as # Filters the strings "." ...

Re: how to get openStack to execute

It's been quite a while since I wrote in HT and Lingo. I forgot about the need to re-state the global. Thanks.

how to get openStack to execute

This relates to mar 10 post "Declaring global variables/functions - use in many scripts" I am having the same experience: my globals aren't initializing, openstack handler doesn't execute. I have one stack with one card, most scripts are in stack script A series of global variables are the very firs...
