Re: Where did the Quick Search button in the Script Editor Go?

When the Search feature disappears from the bottom of my script editor window it invariably requires a new preferences file. I keep some already customized backups handy to save time since this happens with more regularity than seems reasonable... but with no recipe that I can see (yet.) The path to...

Re: Simultaneously scrolling text vertically in two fields

Hello Dan,
I'm glad that you got the problem solved. I have found that one of the great things about LiveCode is the community. Getting help with a problems is invariably met with cheerful optimism and great ideas. If also occasional reminiscing about the "good old days" :)

Re: Simultaneously scrolling text vertically in two fields

Hello Dan, There are several approaches to doing this but the underlying mechanism you probably want will be to catch the "scrollbarDrag" message. The script of field "f1" might look like: on scrollbarDrag set the scroll of field "f2" to the scroll of me end scrollbarDrag Then you could do something...

Re: Watch window disappeared from bottom of script editor

When I lose the lower section of the script editor (if that is what you are referencing), in most cases I have been unsuccessful in getting it back unless I trash LiveCode's preferences file. (This issue happens often enough that I keep an updated copy of the preference file handy... so that replaci...

Re: [REQ] Control selection during browse mode

Ken Ray's Stykz application was one of the most popular apps in my third grade classroom. And by the end of the school year there were usually some hilariously creative products (at least if you were 9.) An amazing piece of work!

Re: Need for Speed

I didn't see Dick's function, which left out the "combine" step, until after I posted Richmond's updated test stack. However, I went back and compared these two functions and the one with "combine" ran significantly faster. (sorting had no effect) I assume it is the "as set" form but am not familiar...

Re: Need for Speed

I've made some changes to Richmond's stack so that it can compare the three methods for removing duplicates suggested here:
1) Array Keys -- fastest
2) Split / Combine -- next fastest
3) repeat for each -- just a bit slower than split/combine

Re: How to recognize a voice?

"How to do it" is a particularly reasonable question in this case since looking up "field" in the dictionary doesn't point to mobileControlCreate, mobileControlSet or mobileControlGet(). While it does show the native field Widget objects, and the Android one does seems pretty comprehensive, neither ...

Re: How to recognize a voice?

I don't know your exact use case and this could be quite ugly from a UI standpoint but, might one possible "work around" be to create a native UITextField and use the built-in speech to text feature provided to the field by the OS. Then the app could query the field.

Re: Playing with Unicode: A question...

Perhaps Klaus answered this question early on but one use-case that I have had was for converting native LiveCode Unicode glyphs into UTF8 htmlEntities. I had an app that allowed the user to enter text and then submit it as data to be displayed on a web page. In the app, LiveCode works with its nati...

Re: Wrong key/certificate

Livecode will build the app if you point at a Keystore and know the correct alias and password to satisfy it. You could do this by creating a new Keystore each time you built an update; LiveCode would be happy. Google Play would not be happy. Google Play will only let you update an app (an app alrea...

Re: Common Android Deployment issues

I have had the same issue for a while now, with the "JDK Path:" being empty. If I remember correctly, it happened when I updated to the Arctic Fox version of Android Studio. I have been able to build and install on a test device and run the simulator but I don't think I have tried submitting to the ...
