Hi, may it be that you'd like to have a "continue" control structure analog to "break"? What we have now, to end a statementList (commands to execute if the case statement is true): "Break" - Skips the rest of the current switch structure and goes to the statement following the end switch. [Empty] -...

Hi,
there's something named "CollectMyStacks" in the "Sample Stacks".
Priceless in such cases, and when the Script Editor decides to hide offScreen, again.

Have fun!

Hi, Does LC uses a predifined numbers of char per line, no matter whatever screen size the content displays on ? No. Depending on the property "dontWrap" it will: - either not wrap at all (means part of the text may "vanish" at the right), - or wrap at the edge of the field, keeping words together. ...

Hi, so, it will be a web/cloud server ? It's the servers of my customers. Shared servers, hosted @ able & trustworthy hoster. The customer has limited SSH access (no real root). Server backup is outside of our accessible server space, btw.. Restore is done by hoster, on demand. These servers all run...

Hi, starting to play a bit more with LC Server I've come to some questions I'd like to ask you who are more experienced here. For clarification, it's about CGI mode - I want to talk to the server via put URL (myServerURL & "test.lc") into myVar -- returns "Hello world!" or put URL (myServerURL & "aF...

However i seem to recall some discussion somewhere that a generic 'player' app for LC is forbidden in the licence? Anyone know for sure?

Look here. § 3 e.)

Hi, I just don't understand the way the mothership's thinking. Cannot RunRev imagine what a devastating effect such half bugged ruins may have on new customers? Imagine any developer from another language that heard the songs of praise many of us are singing - and that actually can be convinced to g...

Hi, I stopped using the forum search ages ago - in any phpBB forum. Those PHP guys seem to have strange ideas about searching. But especially in this forum, Google works fine - the search term: site:forums.livecode.com contact gives exactly your desired result. Calling such a search via plugIn or te...

Hi, Not sure I follow you, AxWald ? Oooops. Sry for puzzling you, should have explained better. Well, look at this: put the text of the mouseLine into tLine -- tLine be "aa" repeat for each character x in tLine -- first iteration: x = "a" ============== PseudoCode from here!!! put charToNum(x) & ","...

Hi,

what SparkOut says - looks like you don't have "Internet" checked in the "Inclusions" pane.

And you can't post any links until you have made 10 successful posts - this is a way to combat the ad spam bot armies. Nothing personal - you're close already!

Have fun!

Bogs,

changing a variable while looping through it - is it such good an idea?
I'd expect strange results :)

Have fun!

Should the launcher app be compiled with manually selected the answer dialog?

Sure! The "stack that gets compiled as StandAlone" will become your LiveCode engine - it MUST contain any of the resources (libs etc.) that you plan to use later on.

Have fun!

Hi, I would do everything I possibly could NOT to use CSV formatted data, or at least to reformat them wherever possible. There are a lot of threads about this. Yup. CSV MUST DIE! DIE! put the hilitedLines of fld "myFld" --> "2,5,14,23,42" Hmpf. put the textColor of fld "myFld" --> "0,0,0" Arghh! pu...

Hi, a quick check: "updateMyAppearance" is called very, very often. And it then loops through every single line of the field, each time. Using the relatively slow "repeat with N = 1 to to number of lines of me". Check in message watcher, this may really run quite often. So my advice would be: A. Det...

Hi, just checked out of curiosity. This works: on mouseUp get fld "input_fld" -- where there's my input repeat for each char C in it if C = "-" then put 1 after myVar -- add a value for - else if C = "." then put 2 after myVar -- add a value for . else put "?" after myVar -- in case we have somethin...
