Hello LiveCoders!

I am new to LiveCode. I have little experience with troubleshooting deployment issues.

I have created a barebones "Hello World!" stack in LiveCode 6.6.4. I can test it successfully on an Android 2.2 device, using LiveCode 6.6.4.

When I open the same stack in LiveCode 7.0 (rc 2 ...

Hi Jean-Marc,

At the site asciitable (dot) com you can see that the meaning of numToChar(1) is "Start of Heading", which is meaningful when transmitting messages over a network . This is an invisible, non-printing character. The first visible character is numToChar(33) or !

There are other ...

Thanks Craig!

Hi Craig,

Thanks for your reply.

In fact, a Braille Dot group will work in two different ways:
* The user can touch each of the dots in any pattern, to toggle it on or off, to create a new pattern.
* When a word is displayed, the various pattern will be sent to a set of Braille Dot groups, to ...

Hi LiveCoders!

I am creating an app to demonstrate how Grade 2 Braille is written. Each character pattern is composed of 6 dots. I have created a group called Braille Dot containing 6 oval graphics. I have added a script to the group so that a call to setPattern(pInteger) will set the background ...

Hi Craig,

You are right. If both group scripts have a handler for a given event then the event will be handled by that handler. However if one group script does not have that handler, then the event is forwarded to the card, and then to the group in the highest layer that has a handler for it ...

Hi Klaus,

Thanks for your 2 answers. The Share Text checkbox in the Inspector does the trick.

I understand about using the full address for an object. I was hoping that there was a direct way of asking the current stack for a control with a given name or a given id, but it seems that there is not ...

Hello LiveCoders!

I have 2 different cards which all need access to the same information. I have stored the information in a field. The 2 cards share a button (via a shared group). Clicking on the button queries the text of the field.

It seems that the field needs to be attached to all of the ...

Hi LiveCoders!

I have an issue with mouse events leaking through from one group and triggering handlers in a different group.

In the LiveCode dictionary for `backgroundBehavior` I read:

The group's script is placed behind the card in the message path for any message not originating from a ...

Thanks to Jean-Marc for his quick and helpful reply. I have got the group script working now.

The script error I get with...
repeat for each graphic tGraphic in group "Pattern"
put the number of tGraphic
end repeat
... is:

Script compile error:
Error description: repeat: bad termination ...

Hi LiveCoders!

I have 6 graphic objects in a group (dots in a Braille pattern, to be precise).

I can get the number of objects in the group using put the number of graphics in group "Pattern" .

What's the syntax I should use to iterate through each graphic so that I can set its properties?

I've ...

Thanks Neil! That works.

Hi LiveCoders!

I understand that in the forthcoming version 7.0, Unicode is handled differently than it has been in the past, and that uniEncode is deprecated.

Apologies in advance for the awkward way in which I have created a URL, so that I can provide a simple example on this forum.

I have ...
