Re: How to create an auto image slider with bullets
Hi all,
Thanks for the help and replies!! Actually I just wanted to display 3 images with 3 bullets on my login page card to provide a rough depiction/description of the objectives of my app

Richmond makes a point.
Those are cartridges, not bullets. This is a common misnomer. Anyway, what caliber?

Those cartridges contain bullets just as cards can contain bullet points . . .
Certainly the 'bullets' thing is widespread in hand-held devices:

Can I frame that and hang it over my bed?Richmond makes a point.

LOL, I didn't save or code that stack, it was only for illustration, however, if you REALLY like it, I'm sure I could recreate it without any code in minutes.richmond62 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 11:39 pmIt might work even better if you uploaded that stack so we could play with the bullets.The effect actually works very well in some cases.
Of course, since we now know that they are only looking for 3 images / bullets, the point would be kind of mute wouldn't it?

Possibly to the OP . . . BUT not to us kinky types who, after 1000 years of playing around with RunRev /LiveCodethe point would be kind of mute wouldn't it?
still feel there may be the odd thing left to learn.
The fact that the OP wants to reply with, what is effectively a damp squish to thy and my childish enthusiasm . . .

And here's an approach that uses a field and imagesource:

Re: How to create an auto image slider with bullets
As far as loading external images that's very clever.
But it misses the OP's point about bullets and so on.

Not sure why, jiml, but it doesn't appear to work here (linux, lc 7.1.4).
Really wierd, too, far as I can see it *should* work, I'll take a look later.-

Re: How to create an auto image slider with bullets
OK, OK: in light of jiml's comment below I've deleted what I wrote here,
and made a newish point:
Expecting something authored in version 9.6.something of LiveCode to
work completely transparently in version 7.x.x of LiveCode is
probably expecting too much.

Re: How to create an auto image slider with bullets
Could be either or both of those things. I wrote it in LC 9.6,2 rc 2.Not sure why, jiml, but it doesn't appear to work here (linux, lc 7.1.4).
I vaguely recall an issue with older versions of LC where imageSource would not properly load images that were remote.
One would need to download them first then point to the local copies.

I see what you mean, from 6.x to 7.x, you'd have to do it more like -
after that, it seemed to work.
Code: Select all
put "https://i.postimg.cc/4dZsk757/shelby-Updated.gif" into tImg; set the imageSource of char 1 of field 1 to tImg
Re: How to create an auto image slider with bullets
That was it.

I would normally agree. Unfortunately this particular issue is a bit more complex.Expecting something authored in version 9.6.something of LiveCode to
work completely transparently in version 7.x.x of LiveCode is
probably expecting too much.
In versions prior to 6.x imageSource worked with remote images. Then from 6.x thru 7.x it failed. Then it began working again at some point.
I'm happy it was restored to its former usefulness. Hope it stays that way!
