You have a repeated 5 in your first graph as well...
No idea how to fix it, but it seems where you have a double number value, you're getting a repeat...

Xero. I would have 1-9 in a list, select a random number from 1 to 9, assign that number to player 1, then delete that item of the list. See my handler offering, the third post in the thread. I do just that, not relying on a large sortKey. I have done it that way for decades. Craig Clearly reading ...

on giveRole put "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9" into theList sort items of theList by random(10000) repeat with N = 1 to 9 put item N of theList into fld ("playerRole" & N) end repeat end giveRole put "theres no such object". ive put playerRole" space and all numbers from 1 to 9. Is the problem that it's not g...

I've had the same issue when it comes to an app I wrote that added grids, picked colours etc. When I imported a jpeg with sRGB profile, I could save the image into a custom file, and when I opened the custom file (which had data to recreate gridlines etc.), the image worked just fine. When I used an...

Try looking at select (command) in dictionary, instead of select (keyword)
In the dictionary, it goes into what select after means...

Gonna take a stab in the dark on this one, as I haven't used the pdf viewer in livecode. In theory, I guess, you want a dropdown menu that automatically fills with number from 1 to the number of pages in your pdf, which when clicked on, takes you to the page... First, how are you viewing the pdf? XP...

What previous posters have said to solve your problem... I think you've slipped up with your syntax... hello so im making a game where you need to draw something random in a list. so on mouseUp, the app needs to pick a random word to draw and display it in a field. i wanted to do something like on m...

At least we found something that worked.
Hone in on your code for the folder part and you''ll probably solve your problem.
Good luck!

Just in case it is a filename/filepath issue, have you tried simplifying both of them? As previously suggested, drop them into a folder that has a simpler path either: 1. Into the same folder as the player and use a relative pathname without all of the other subfolders, or; 2. In Documents folder or...

Would need more information, but from what experience I have... 1. Are all of the videos the same format? i.e. *.mov files? I have had issues with some video formats in the past, and have had to convert them to file types that I know work. If the files are all from the same place/ business, it's hig...

That's a tough one... Code is contextualised, so it depends on what app you are writing, not necessarily just code... For example, if I am writing a database app, different code will be used than if I were writing an image manipulation app. Some overlap will happen with "on mouseDown" commands, but ...

Thanks SparkOut, I don't know what DB engine I am using... I just created an SQLite DB in Livecode... I' not so advanced to know what I am doing! I think I followed a tutorial on the LC site... These were my first two versions, ' DD/MM/YYYY' first, as it was the most logical. I am aware of the "Don'...

Sorry Bogs,
That just runs through standard formatting. I need UK, DD/MM/YYYY formatting, and I need to be able to call it up as that from a database.
Thanks anyway!

Hey brainstrust... I'm using an SQL Database with a Column called "Date" that has dates in a format dd/mm/yyyy I'm trying to do a search for dates between a range and return it to a table. I just can't get it to work. I found this code that I have adapted to suit my names: put "SELECT * from EPAccou...

As always Klaus! Works like a charm. :D The Dictionary does say "Long name", but us dummies don't know we need to ask for the short name! And one of the examples simply reads "the topStack" which doesn't help much... and it actually needs 'the' at the start of it too... Us dummies need it spelled ou...
