Thank you all for the wonderful replies. Really do love this community!

I feel like I knew this at one point, but I've lost it. Long story short, I wanted to add values in an array together, so something like this: repeat with z=1 to thisNum add Numb&z tempSum end repeat The problem is that it tries to add "Numb1" instead of the value in the container Numb1. I did it a ...

Thank you all! I spent all day yesterday trying different approaches. I'll never be as good as all of you, but I do love programming. I did give both approaches here (and a few I found via google) a go. In the end, I went with the below. I know I've mangled your eloquent code, but I definitely appre...

Hi all,

I think I need a repeat loop to do this. But for different time intervals (e.g., every 0.2 seconds of 2.4 seconds) I want to do an action. How would this look?

Long story short, I want a bar to grow or shrink as time passes. Any help would be appreciated.

It used to work, but I can no longer copy paste from LC to other locations (e.g., notepad) and-even worse-I can't do it within livecode either. If I try ctrl-X or cut, the code is just deleted. Anyone else having this problem and is there a solution?

Here's a snippet: repeat with i=1 to thisNum put random(5) into thisDig if i = 1 then put thisDig into Numb1 if i = 2 then put thisDig into Numb2 if i = 3 then put thisDig into Numb3 if i = 4 then put thisDig into Numb4 if i = 5 then put thisDig into Numb5 end repeat I tried put thisDig into "Numb" ...

Hi all,

See the attachment for the error message. Long story short, I keep losing quite a bit of work because I keep getting this message that the code is being edited outside of the editor. This isn't true and I can't seem to resolve this situation (restarting hasn't worked). Thanks for any help.

Problem address with this code: on mouseUp answer file "open" -- select your stack if it = empty then exit mouseup set the lockmessages to true open stack it set the lockmessages to false end mouseUp from one of the many heroes on this forum: http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=20272&p=10...

It just hangs with an hourglass. Other LC programs open, but not the one that I've spent a week working on. I'm guessing some repeat loop is automatically starting on program launch which is causing the hang, but I don't have any idea. Is there any way to alter the code some way to gain access to th...

Thanks, Klaus. This is useful. My only lingering question is why I can't write new files using the same code if I run the program a second time (i.e., I have to quit the program and then restart it). Any thoughts on that?

Final update (unless someone has two cents to add). It work near the desktop (avoiding subdirectories) and, unfortunately, it only works once (i.e., LC needs to be restarted every time for the file to be created). A bit lame, but hopefully it'll suffice.

IMPORTANT: I think my program was embedded into too many subdirectories. Hopefully, this isn't premature celebration, but it seems to work if I put the program on the desktop.

This is so puzzling None of my file code works (reading or writing).

Thanks for the help! I've tried this and no file still shows up. I've tried refreshing the folder and there is no error (compile or runtime), so I'm still not sure what the problem is... I'll try making a text file and seeing if the data writes to that.

Hi all, I used to use code like the following to create data files: put "File:PilotData.txt" into myFile put url "File:PilotData.txt" into myData put "test" into myData put myData into URL myFile but now nothing seems to work. I can't create a file regardless of how I order or work these commands. A...
