[blackangeldsf]

Hi,
I typed some codes in livecode ,when I generated app,I found the file was so big ,more than 11MB.

the codes:

Code: Select all

on openStack
   global theStart
   local thetime
   
   
   put the seconds into theStart
   put the time into thetime
   
   
   answer "Greetings!" & return & thetime titled "Hello World!"
   timeup
end openStack

command timeup
   global theStart
   local theEnd
   
   put the seconds into theEnd
   
   answer "It took you " & (theEnd - theStart) & " seconds to tap that button!" titled "I was Counting"

namefun
end timeup

command namefun
   local userName, theLen, theVowels, tLoop
   
   
   ask "What's your name?"
   put it into userName
   put the length of userName into theLen
   --
   put 0 into theVowels
   repeat with tLoop =1 to theLen
      if character tLoop of userName is among the characters of  "aeiou" then
         add 1 to theVowels
      end if
      
   end repeat
   
   answer  "You have " & thelen & " letters in your name; " & theVowels  & " of them are vowels" 
end namefun

Which platform, and which LC version?

If you built for Mac Universal, you might want to consider Mac Intel. Look at the checkboxes on the top of the Mac tab of the standalone builder setup.

DarScott is probably right on.

I made a Universal app with almost nothing in it, and it was 8.6 MBytes. Changing it to Intel only cut that down to 4.5 MB.

Remember that a working LC engine is integrated into your app. The stack itself that I made was 9K. A complex stack might be 900K, if it had no fancy stuff like embedded sounds and videos, but just lots of LC functionality.

hi,FourthWorld
thank you for your reply.

I typed the codes with LiveCode Community 7.0 (dp2) on windows xp sp3 .

Hi blackangeldsf,
I read somewhere that liveCode 7.0 did make very large files (I think they are working on this).
Try liveCode 6.7, or the stable version of 6.6.1
