Re: Open a LC document using a standalone

Thanks Klaus, THis seems simplier I tried. When I open the app, it did create a new file in the document folder. But the file did not open, and showed a file size of 0. Also when I double click on the document file, I got the error: "This is not a stack" on openstack ## Create path to RESOURCES fold...

Let me try again: I wrote a launcher stack and saved it as a standalone using LC 8.1.6 for Mac OS 10. I wrote a second s...

Re: Open a LC document using a standalone

I have a stack in the same folder as my standalone. I want the standalone to open the other stack. (open stack "myStack") does not work, DO I need to get the entire pathname? Do I need to set a new filetype to open this stack? If the livecode app is not on the laptop, the stack is displayed as a UNI...

Open a LC document using a standalone

Hi

How can I open a LC document using a standalone? The LC document changes to a Unix document when I put it with a Standalone onto my laptop, and it will not open.

Re: Widgets causing problems?

Well it's more than another year I am still suffering from this widgets problem.

All the labels and images in my widgets disappear when I open in another version of LC or copy the stack to another computer.

Anyone else getting this problem?

Re: Finding Itunes library on a Desktop

Vinyl with a tube amplifier is the best.

Thank you Richmond,

It worked for me, I was able to get right to my songs.

It appears the Mp3 files do not play well through Livecode. I get static.

Is there a way to get the pathname to the itunes folder, so the user can play a song?

Thanks Max
