Could you do this with a text data file instead of a stack? If you need to save binary data, can you put it into an array and encode it before saving to disk? If you must save a preferences stack, all you need to do is open a new stack (call it Prefs). Add a field or some other object to hold the in...

I don’t do Android, but I seem to remember seeing on the forums something like
To deactivate the field and make the keyboard disappear.

Only a vague memory but hope it helps.

Please note that the sort random method also works with letters or words or y sort of items that you can put in a list. In one stack I have a bunch of points (integer pairs) and in another I have grid references (G1,R4,Z10) and I use the sort list random(1000) method to mix things up without dupes. ...

It was late at night is my only defense!

He got the idea anyway.

Set a flag variable so that it plays once, then ignores the ‘play’ message. Use the idle message or mouseMove message to refresh the flag so that when they go within later, they will get the sound played once more. Was the mouseOver message coming from being over a button or a graphic? What object w...

Maybe you could try mouseWithin?

You’re working in binary file, so what do those bytes mean when interpreted as a decimal integer?

May I suggest a tablet as upgraded equipment for the breakfast table?

The file size is that big because the Livecode engine is embedded in the stand alone. The minimum size is that 16 MB, but it will only grow very slowly as the code increases. If you had lots of graphics or videos inside the app, it will grow quickly again. But the actual code and vector based UI ele...

If the aliens can compress secret technology into 40 bytes of information or ten pixels, then we had better start bowing to a superior race!

For example, the numeric value of the red, green and blue channels respectively for the tenth pixel are given by the expressions: charToNum(char (4 * 9 + 2 of the imageData of image <image>) charToNum(char (4 * 9 + 3 of the imageData of image <image>) charToNum(char (4 * 9 + 4 of the imageData of i...

To increase the size of the stack on your computer, you can use scaleFactor. It will scale things up on your screen but will not affect it on your device when you build a standalone. -- Preview the stack appearance on a high-density display set the scaleFactor of stack "myApp" to 1.5 Just type the c...

Tom Glod on the mail list pointed out this lesson: https://lessons.livecode.com/m/4069/l/186807-how-do-i-implement-in-app-purchases-in-livecode-apple-appstore I don't know if this still works on the Apple developer side, but it might be worth a try. EDIT: Looked a little deeper into the lesson, and ...

Thanks KD, and hello to a fellow Canadian. This sounds a bit more involved than I was hoping for, but, also sounds like a good opportunity to get my feet wet with Git for the old version control. Currently on folder 111 for this program 😊 ScriptTracker is very simple and does NOT require you to use...
