probably Revlets are also compressed somehow.

I think so. The size of the stack = 4.5 Mo

Hi All, I have done a revlet with a stack and a substack (the substack contains 64 images) It work well :D (in local using with safari on OSX only at this moment) I see that the size of the revlet is much smaller than the size of the standalone (4.2 Mo for the revlet and 14.5 Mo for the OSX standalo...

Hi rumplestiltskin , This seems to take care of it in not many lines of code and takes into account a period at the end of a sentence: I'm confused, i understood you need the num (position) of the clicked word for other tasks. I think using the clickchunk is better because there is not punctuation p...

Hi All,
Following the topic "Delete local : good practice" of bangkok
Is there a way to get the size of a variable in LC ?

Best regards

Hi bangkok,

Without "local myvar" and "delete local myvar"... the memory used is increasing, each time you press the button.

Is there a way to get the size of a variable in LC (i understand you have a "task manager" for windows)
I'll do a new topic: "get the size of a variable"

Hi rumplestiltskin, For me your code work, if you need the num of the clicked word you can try this script on mouseup put the clickChunk into whereFrom put "green" into char (word 2 of whereFrom) to (word 4 of whereFrom) of me --•• "Fox." -> "green." work well --•• If you need the number of the clic...

Hi bangkok, ...In my script, with a mouseup, I read large quantity of data. It goes into a variable. This var is not declared. So following what you say, at the "end mouseup" it would be cleared from memory, right ? For me (OSX) on mousedown put 3 into tWhatever end mousedown on mouseUp put tWhateve...

Hi SteveTX , The example syntax in the dictionary for "layer" is rather misleading yes, you're right So if I have groups A, B, and C, all inside group Z, how would I say "set the layer of group B to the front of group Z" ? You can see the layer of each objects in the "browser application". Like Klau...

Hi bangkok,

Something bothers me. I read in the dictionnary " Local variables that are used within a handler are automatically deleted when the handler in which they are used exits."

I think that is for local variable without declaring

Hi BvG I guess you need to be more precise in your description :) i found "≥" or "≤" in the background script. And this additional note of Dunbarx : "Note that the condensed symbol "≤" (ASCII 178) though supported on the Macintosh, should NOT be used, as it will break under Windows and Linux." Best ...
