..Finally I'll add this, hopefully without being unnecessarily offensive... At some point, each LC user, regardless of previous experience (or lack thereof), must actually start using the product itself, taking advantage of the many great resources that ARE available to them. IMNSHO, continually wh...

Hi all, Can we "reengineer" LiveCode's learning curve? ..Regards, Michael Thanks for your comprehensive post, Michael. If I had to single it to one thing it would be making everything that gets a person to actually programming be as transparent as possible. Programming is something very much separa...

Ultimately, Livecode is essentially billed as programming for non-programmers, but it doesn't often feel that way. Yeah, there's a dilemma there. LiveCode has to target both the non-programmer market and the professional developer market and do both well. It's a hard task, and I'm not sure either o...

Here's my input in tutorials and documentation: They go from 0 to 120. I mean, really, the geometry manager is part of "basic"? What I've easily found basically jumps from "hello world" to developing a game, with little in between. The course I'm taking (which I have to say is woefully lacking comp...

Thanks for the effort you put into your post Jaque. Honestly I think what really caused my expression of frustration was a remark like the following excusing Runrev of doing at least the customary job of having a built-in context-sensitive help much less a "manual" that covers every field: "...but i...

Thank folks. We'll get there.

Hi folks. I'm new and facing some matters of understanding how this programs works. I created a field to use as a title for the top card in my stack and set up a lot of parameters like colors, font, size, background shadow and all of that cosmetic stuff. I then drew a small box that obscured part of...

Hey there Cybernicus... ....Don't be too hard on those who are trying to help you... I see them post on this forum all the time and often marvel at their patient replies... the thought often crosses my mind as I read these replies that these chaps have a lot more patience than I would have. be well...

.... - in a drop down like the object inspector - "basic properties" can I conclude absolutely that there is no box by box documentation of help anywhere and the only way to understand what values these require or imply is trial and observation? well they are described at their respective places in...

Hi Cybernicus, - what's the difference beteen "push button" and "default button" and "rectagle button" as far as functionality is concerned there is no difference. The appearance is different. the push button and the default button take on the style of the operating system. The push button is just ...

... - what's ... - when ... - how... All this and even more answers can be found in the stack(s) at the URL that I already posted in this thread! I'm sure it could be found there if I had a few more weeks to keep trying to pick gnat shit out of black pepper like I've been trying here. But what you ...

Thanks for your help so far folks. Is it OK if I just keep firing newbie questions up? Here goes: - what's the difference beteen "push button" and "default button" and "rectagle button" - when is the "label" field used and is it much different than the "text entry field" to its right in the tools pa...

I don't see a text icon in the tools pallete to put text on a card other than in a field or in a button name. How is that done? Thanks.

Is that supposed to be a joke?

That link takes me to Wrestlemania. Please. I need to make progress.

Hi Cybernicus, ...Kind regards Bernd Once again, thanks. Can anyone point me to anything inside the program or what's on line to simply start programming buttons to go from one card to another in a stack? I'm not trying to be sarcastic. Something as simple as this is proving to be a saga. Thanks ag...
