Mouseup outside of a window

Hi, I noticed that if a user clicks on something, then drags outside the bounds of the window, I do not receive a mouseup event when they let go of the mouse. How can I detect a mouseup event outside of the window bounds, when the mousedown event started within the window bounds? I'm not trying to d...

Can I embed custom images in a stack to use as buttons?

Hi, I think I'm missing something here. I am trying to create some custom buttons in a stack. I have imported images using the Image Library stack, into the target stack. But when I do that, it puts a copy of those images in the center of the stack. If I delete them, they disappear from the Image Li...

Something outside of LC changed my card?

Hi,

Does anyone know why I'd suddenly start getting these error messages in LC 7?

I get them pretty often, about once every half hour or so. Not regular intervals though, sometimes 5 minutes apart.

I am only working on one project, and have not touched the stack with any other tools.

Re: Focusable and other words

Fantastic!

That saves a ton of time and removes most of the remaining issues I've been running into.

I'm not sure why they decided against using the right terms to begin with, or at least some version of them, but at this point I just want the product done so I don't care :D

Focusable and other words

Hi,

Where can I get a list of what words appear in the properties panel vs what they actually are, for the purpose of scripting?

For example, there's a "focusable" button in the panel for text objects. What's the script equivalent?

Thank you!

LiveCode 7 bug

Hi, I'm not sure where to put this, but it looks like if you select the white space trailing one function, but before another, and then use the menu option to comment that first one out, it will delete some of the white space lines between the functions. It's odd, but I can't spend too much time get...

Re: LiveCode 6.7 vs LiveCode 7.0

Back up your stuff, first. LC7 ate about 40 lines of my top card script. It wouldn't compile the script after it opened.

Double click field, to unlock text and edit

Hi, I have a series of fields on a card that I want to keep locked via locktext. When the user double-clicks on it, I want the field to activate, and let the double-click pass through. Is that possible? If not, what's the easiest way to unlock the text, and select after the text? Thank you, -Chilton
