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.

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

If you use that scalefactor and set it to .7 centering will send it up and left. You can't get rid of it once it's been saved. You must put in .1 to change it.. Erase the .1 scalefactor and the stack REVERTS to .7 even though it's not part of the code anymore. Forever corrupted it seems to me but I'...

Send the Stack to the Center of the screen.

I can't seem to get the stack centered on the screen. I put send centerme in the openstack with on centerMe set the loc of this stack to the screenLoc end centerMe And nothing changes. I can drag the stack to the center of the screen but when I Command M and type send centerme, it jumps up and to th...

Re: Windows Standalone Too Big for the screen

Scalefactor seems great. Just makes a smaller-sized stack, pictures and everything. Thank you very much one and all.

Re: Windows Standalone Too Big for the screen

Thanks for answering so soon.

What code can I write in the stacks that will insure they'll run on most (or all) machines without this problem?

Windows Standalone Too Big for the screen

I have a splash screen that connects to some stacks but in my STANDALONE in Windows, the screen and the stacks are too big for the screen. What do I put in my stacks and splash screen to make them properly viewable on a Windows machine as a standalone? Will Linux be a problem too? Thanks... https://...

Re: Saving Field Text in a Standalone

Oh, now I get it. It makes sense. The stacks I made before are just accessed through the launcher. They never become standalones. It's good because I have four programs that have the exact same set-up. The user can choose any of them from the splash screen on the launcher. Thank you very much. I'm l...

Saving Field Text in a Standalone

I've looked around to find out about this and people say I must create a stack that is not a substack of the project because it won't be editable. My problem is that I don't know how to create a stack that isn't a substack and thus a part of the un-editable standalone. I just need a little editable/...

Re: Welcome to the App Building Course Forum

Well, somehow I'm now able to see the other lessons. I'm interested in the first lesson again, however. It results in a stack that sends a message to a mystery server that the student doesn't seem to have any access to and is not even given the web address to so they can't check to see if the app ev...

Re: Welcome to the App Building Course Forum

I went to Spain for a while. Now I'm back. I wanted to continue with these lessons but everything except the first part is grayed out. I cannot proceed to the CALCULATOR lessons. It has the app intro video in it and I think I can access that but only because it's the same one used for the Phone Styl...
