Yep, that's when Director picked up 3D stuff as part of the package. Before that, there was some guy who sat down and wrote out the engine that was open source (well, you could see what was going on with the code) which would be useful for building in Livecode as it would be a cut and paste and line...

Back in the mid-late 90's (yes, I remember them), there was a 3D engine made for Macromedia Director (yes, before they sold out to Adobe). I am sure if I could get out my Zip Drive, I could find it somewhere. I am sure it would be easily adaptable to Livecode as the Lingo for MM Dir is extremely sim...

This is a really great idea. I learnt BASIC at home as a kid on a computer that had less power than your average toaster, and later I learnt Macromedia Director at University that had a very similar language as LC (that's why I got into it!) It's a really good language for laypeople to learn as othe...

The CLEVER thing to do is develop your stuff with the Community version, and then when it is finally ready, buy a licensed version and use that to make your standalones ready for sale. But that would be cheeky, and I'd never do that! If I were going to make a crack of being an app designer, I'd go ...

Thanks for the link FourthWorld. Lot of stuff to ply through, but loads of ideas. The problem with all this is... where the heck to start. There are so many options. My background is with The Secret (Byron Preiss) and a little look into Cicada, etc. I love the art side of The Secret and am intereste...

So, what I want to do is this: https://lessons.livecode.com/m/4068/l/40587-how-do-i-create-a-checkbox-in-a-column But this is set up for the DataGrid Helper plugin that I don't have, and it builds the script automatically and doesn't show me what's in the script. I am still having trouble getting th...

I have been working off this lesson: https://lessons.livecode.com/m/datagrid/l/26382-how-do-i-work-with-checkboxes-in-a-data-grid But have been using a Table, not a form... I have put the handler in the Column Behaviour, as per the section of the lesson called "Update Data Grid Row Value When User C...

Code didn't work, but this did: on mouseUp pMouseBtnNum if pMouseBtnNum is 1 then if the short name of the target is "Check" then SetDataOfLine the dgLine of me, "checked", the hilite of the target end if end if put the dgdataOfLine of me into tData if tData["checked"] = true then answer "Checked" e...

Yeah, I think we're on different pages Stam! Ha ha ha. I see where you're going, but I will have a separate button outside of the DG that will fill in data. There is a lot of dependant states, and if some data is filled in but not others, and it's done in a different order, there will be trouble. It...

Thanks for the advice Stam. I am more familiar with the idea of a spreadsheet, and this one is acting a lot like a spreadsheet. If the checkbox is ticked (true), I will be adjusting data on the same line only, so it makes sense to me to stay with the dgdataofline mode. If the box is ticked, there wi...

Thanks Stam, Sorry about the long post, but there's a bit going on in the stack... OK... I added the FillInData code: set the hilite of button "check" to (pData["checked"] = "true") into the column behaviour, and I no longer get the error messages, and also get the right amount of check boxes. So I ...

EDIT: The following issue has been resolved. As many people have been having the same issues, I am writing a tutorial on this and a few other elements to go into DG's and will post here for comment so hopefully there will be a one-stop place for all this. XdM Hi Brainstrust. I must be missing someth...

I'd disagree Richmond...
GREAT backing is here! I would be lost without the brainstrust here. I can normally get the better-than-right answer within 24 hours here!

As a hack programmer, there are a few issues with livecode that I see. I come from a Macromedia Director background. When Adobe bought it out and rode it into the ground, there really wasn't anything for me to go to when I finally got back into programming. I asked around, searched around, and came ...

Is it possible to have only one card do the job for you? Have the player at the top of the card, and show info below then either: 1. Have the card the same size as the player only. When you 'show' the info, just resize the card to encompass the info box and player, and resize when you want to hide t...
