Hi RIchard

"It" returned nothing.

"Result" returned nothing.

For some reason I've been having alot of bad luck with Livecode this year. Thanks for looking into this. As you can see there is not much interest here in this subject.

Gee, it's lonely here.

I have not gotten any response either, and it 2017 now. DId you ever get a response?

I usually get a good response from great people here.

My hunch is that no one bothers to access music from the ipad.

I just want to know if it works.

Max

Thanks Klaus,

I guess its important to know who's using who.

I built a standalone shell which opens a stack on my desktop. That way I can make changes to the stack which will not be erased on closing. But the stack does not include the inclusions I specified when I built the main shell stack. All my SVG icons and answer dialogs will not display in the seconda...

Thank you Jean- Marc

I forgot the the name of a stack can be different than the display name of a stack.

It opens now, as well as opening another can of worms.

Thanks Jean-Marc, Thanks for the function. I got the function working. I know I have the correct pathame but the stack is not opening, "Classroom Control Center" is the mainstack name, spelling is correct. I wrote on mouseUp put getMyStackFolderPath(rMainStackFolder) into ThisWindow put ( ThisWindow...

Roger, Thank you for doing the search in Livecode, finding the answer, and doing the extra step of making a sample stack. It worked! That was exciting to see. It was one of the things I thought was very difficult to accomplish. I also learned that I need to look deeper in Livecode myself for answers...

I'm trying to build a standalone shell that will open a stack in the same folder on my computer.

This code does not seem to work.

put the longfilepath of me into ThisLoc
put (ThisLoc & "/" & "Classroom Control Center") into ThisWindow
Open stack ThisWindow


Am I missing something?

Hi Mikey, It worked as you described. I was able to select and copy the text in the dropbox. But I was unable to paste the text into Livecode. First, I was unable to open both Livecode and any other app in split windows. Also, there is no paste commandkey in IOS. Also, in scripting On mouseenter --p...

Hi Mikey ----have the teachers use the Dropbox app, open the file within the Dropbox app, copy the contents, then paste them into your app. Yes yes yes, that is exactly what I want to do. I tried doing that but I could not get the text file to open. Perhaps I need to find the right text app to assis...

Thank you again Roger and Mikey. I'm appreciative, but sorry to be taking your time and effort on this problem. I am trying to assist teachers to import a class list of names into my app, so they wont have to manually retype them into the app. Perhaps by having to use authentication/token-obtaining ...

Thank you Mikey and Batninja. I appreciate you help. The documentation for MergDropbox is difficult to understand, and appear to be written for more advanced programmers. It also seems to require the user to imput their account info. All I want to do is bring a simple textfile into my App. Here is t...

I want to import a list of names from a text file I sent to DropBox to a field my Livecode app. Livecode dictionary says: Note: iOS imposes strict controls over what you can and cannot access. Each application in iOS is stored in its own 'sandbox' folder (referred to as the home folder). An applicat...
