LiveCode Forums

Hi all, I encountered this issue before when I tried to write a LiveCode app to interface to an Arduino. LiveCode constantly crashed, refused to open the driver, etc... I eventually solved the issue by downgrading to LiveCode 6. Unfortunately, I'm now on a 64-bit GNU/Linux computer, and LiveCode 6 d...

Hey Alejandro, If your Analytical Engine book comes with the floppy disk, would you be able to make an image of it? I have the book but not the disk... Also, what other HyperCard books have you got / are getting. I currently have: HyperCard 2.0 Handbook HyperCard 2.2 Handbook Hyperdictionary Underst...

(I'm in the UK so I think postage would be expensive... but:)

If you're talking about HyperTalk 2.2: The Book, I just want to second the opinion that it is "priceless". I have my copy that I purchased a year or two ago on Amazon, without a doubt the best reference to HyperTalk ever published.

Hi, Just seen your post. I have this book, bought it recently of Amazon, but has not started reading it yet. Unfortunately the one major issue I have with the book is the fact that it comes with a floppy disk with the accompanying stacks. For this you'll need an old Mac to read the disk in. That was...

Hi, The function you are looking for is the toLower . This converts all uppercase letters in a string to their lowercase equivalent. For example: put the toLower of "HELLO WORLD" --results in "hello world" put the toLower of "Hello World" --results in "hello world" put the toLower of "hello world" -...

Hello, I am trying to make an application that takes a Scratch project (https://scratch.mit.edu/) and converts it into another programming language (PAWN). I have completed everything, but have now run into a problem when deploying this application. The application will be running on a server, so it...

Hi Richard,
Thanks! That method worked perfectly!

Hello, I am trying to use LiveCode to generate some text files that will then be run through a third party tool, but I have run into a problem. On a Mac (what I am currently trying to use) LiveCode seems to write text in the MAC formatting. However, the third party tool only works with files that ha...

I see from searching there are issues with this from version 7 update. But it appears to have been resolved. But we just can't make it work. I posted on this issue less than a month ago, and although Quality Control Center Bug ID 12545 has been marked as RESOLVED FIXED, it has not (at least for me)...

Hi everyone, After a bit of googling, coding and testing, I have found the answer to this. LiveCode 7 appears not to work with serial communication. I have now switched back to using LiveCode 6.5.2, and everything works well. There was only I change that needs to be made to my above code for communi...

Hello, I have been trying to allow LiveCode and an Arduino Uno to communicate with each other through serial. I have tried various methods, and yet I cannot get either transmitting or receiving from LiveCode to work. Receiving data from Arduino in LiveCode I set up a simple sketch on the Arduino whi...

Hi,
I have just tried to run the app from the command line. When run, nothing happened on the command line, just like when clicking on the app. Any ideas?

Hi, I have just tried something that I probably should have tried at the beginning: Installing an older version of LiveCode. I tried LiveCode 6.7 and it installed and ran successfully. However I would really like to use LiveCode 7. Does anyone know why I can install LiveCode 6.7 but not LiveCode 7? ...

Hi Neil, I reinstalled a fresh copy of Puppy Linux and followed what you did in your video but again nothing happened when I clicked the installer once I had changed the permissions to application. Is my computer (Pentium 3, 256Mb RAM) just too old? Or is it the version of Puppy Linux that I am usin...

Hi,
Thanks, but I don't think that is the issue because I cannot even launch the installer (the app does nothing when clicked).
Does anyone know what is wrong?
Thanks,
Andrew
