Yes!! it works. Thanks Björnke

This is an easy one (hope not a silly one) How do you change the tab labels of a tabbed-panel button via script?

Something like:
does nothing.

Both are interesting educational resources, thanks. Alas, none of them has a model of something you can recognize as planet Earth (I mean there are no continents or seas). In the animation, the orbiting planets look like have no daily rotation around their axis, just revolution around the Sun.

Two quite different approaches to the matter at hand. Let me see...

Hi all,

I'm about to start a little didactic project about the very basics of the planets' orbits in our solar system, using LiveCode. Is there any example of a LiveCode stack with a rotating Earth? Or is there something similar already made?

best,

Daniel

DId anybody tried using LiveCode for a game, presentation or whaterver, where you must use an animation of water (like water coming out of a jar, or running under a bridge, etc.)? How did you solved it?

Big thanks, extensive to Sarah, of course. This stack should be in the page one of the "Aids for beginners" webpage. The XML functions she's describing are different from what one can find in LC today?

If you click the linck you'll get a weird #!/bin/sh # MetaCard 2.4 stack # The following is not ASCII text, # so now would be a good time to q out of more exec mc $0 "$@" as I did, I guess. If you download the file by any other method, as I did, you'll get a sad warning that the stack is corrupted. ...

Is there any available reference to the LiveCode's XML Library, and/ or some tutorial stack about the LiveCode XML commands? I've heard about Sarah Reichelt's stack but it seem to have vanished from the web.

Craig, the whole stack is a huge (mean huge) stack with lots of code about very specific projects. I'll be glad to contribute with all kind of implicated scripts but I don't think the whole stack's deposition would add something meaningful to the general cause

News from the "trial and error" front: I have been able to identify the source of the strange behaviour, but not the cause of it, as doctors use to do. The cause were two table fields, that's it. I created a dummy, empty card, run a script to copy each and every object from the original card into th...

uh, one more thing. The card missbehaviour occurs only when you try to resize it from the stack script. If you do it from any script in the same card, then alles ist Gut

When I step through the "dummy" script in the debugger, the script terminates most ungently likewise

OK, I can live with that, but would't it be easier to create a field than behaver more or less like a pulldown menu? a call like this one set the HTMLText of field "listoid" to container set the visible of field "listoid" to true get the mouseloc add 100 to item 1 of it set the location of field "li...

More info, in the hope somebody can give it a meaning. If I put a line that resizes the stack inside a openCard instruction, what I normally can read in the message watcher is something like the following: openCard 5:59:22 PM (61) tamannoStack 5:59:22 PM (0) --this is the handler containing the resi...
