I also want to state that the ability to play sounds on multiple channels is an absolute requirement for many, many projects. Right now, you could not develop a game with any noticeable sound support. Only on mobiles, which is not exactly the point of many games ;) Also, the syntax... play audioClip...

Ahh, the speed argument is a very valid one, I was not aware of that (and it is not noted anywhere I came across ).

I agree, but then it would be great to remove that "legacy" at least from the tutorials and official ressources. A bit on the active side of "letting it die" ;) Also, about the variables vs. properties thing: When would you ever require to use a variable and not a property? Except temporary variable...

I find the current setup to be very inconsistent and very confusing, especially to new users. For example, you can write: get text of field "field1" put it into field "field2" No problem, everything works. But you could also write: get the text of the field "field1" put it into the field "field2" Ag...

I know most of that and what properties can be used for, but I was complaining about the inconsistency and confusion. For example, you can write: get text of field "field1" put it into field "field2" No problem, everything works. But you could also write: get the text of the field "field1" put it in...

I was right, I had to change back to custom properties as local variables are not copied when you copy an instance, it seems. There I have my difference :D And with the THE, it works. I find that really unwise and unintuitive, from a language design point of view. Either make a word like "the" compl...

Hmm, I solved the problem using local variables for now. It is probably better that way as they appear a lot less like magical black boxes ;) Maybe I'll have to switch back to custom properties as soon I use multiple copies of the image (which all need different values). But thanks anyway! I thought...

Hey there, I'm an experienced developer in other languages and currently trying to learn some basic LiveCode, as I'm planning to use it in a programming course for non-coders ;) Now, I do have some serious problems with variables and scopes in LiveCode not at all behaving like I would expect. I decl...
