Re: Can't save stack

*sigh*

It's probably a permissions issue. All O/S have areas with restrictions on what can be written where.
What location are you trying to save into? Can you create a basic text file in that location?

Re: Odd mouseUp/mouseDown behavior

AFAIK (and how far I know is measured in millimetres not miles) the doubleclickInterval is .... necessary to be understood, while the important thing is (I'm sure Jwack can expound) to fire the required handler when due, whether by double or single mouse event. Rather than adjusting the doubleclickI...

Re: Odd mouseUp/mouseDown behavior

Is this to do with the mouseDoubleDown and mouseDoubleUp messages being invoked?
What if you move the action to another "doDownStuff" handler, and called doDownStuff from both mouseDown and mouseDoubleDown, and doUpStuff from the Up handlers?

Re: Send the Stack to the Center of the screen.

I guess my only problem is using scalefactor. It's so easy to reduce the size of your project on the screen but when you use it, it can't be centered. Yes it can, as per stam's detailed explanation, the solution is a single line of script, that he provided above. (Admittedly a longish line, but spl...

Re: Copy a card from one stack into a different stack

Hi, one approach that helps debugging when you get an error like this, is to check "the result" after the problematic statement. You often get a good clue, and often in real language (not just opaque codes). I don't know if that would have been useful in your situation, but maybe.

Re: Elevated Privileges

I never tried it, because I have never made anything for other users that needed special permissions, but in the Standalone Builder settings for Windows there's a drop-down you can choose for the level of privilege the standalone should expect to require. If you set it to highest available then it m...

"American". Capital A. 😜
Yep. That's correct.
Spelled and spelt are both acceptable, to a point. I am not unhappy there are differences between American versions onf English and English, but "spelled" for everything is more upsetting to me than leaving out the letter U in so many words.

Re: Error opening Livecode

On android (Samsung Internet browser) on the livecode.com site there's a hamburger menu in the top bar.
Opening that shows the login option near the bottom of the page of menu items, to the right of the button for starting a trial.

That field appears to be overriding the inheritance, no? Try clearing its backgroundColor property and see if that allows the inheritance.
Or make it transparent
