LiveCode Forums.

My current contract writing mobile software in ObjectiveC and Java for iOS and Android will end next week (3rd July). I've been sending out CVs to the usual places, but I thought I'd ask here as well, as this seemed the most appropriate place to ask a question about jobs. Does anyone know of any Liv...

Anyone know why the test target menu doesn't show my device? I can successfully save to a standalone, and I can drag the binary that's created onto the organizer to install the app. Is that the best I can hope for with this version? My system is OSX 10.8.3, XCode 4.6.1, LiveCode 5.5.4, and I've trie...

Hey Richard,

Was just wondering how you're getting on with the math library rewrite?

I'd love to be able to learn from your optimisations.

Thanks,

Hi All, I found a /hugely/ useful error message just now. My app is called "WriteOn.app", at least for the moment. I called 'create folder' with the path to my app on my iPad: /var/mobile/Applications/706ECCCF-DC1D-42F1-B71E-F3D96610DAEF/WriteOn.app/Downloaded The error in 'the result' is "can't cre...

Thanks for all your answers!

Actually, someone pointed out that though an image doesn't have a "enabled" checkbox in the IDE, you can still set the property via code:

set the disabled of image "blah" to true

Which accomplishes all that I needed.

To directly answer your post, you could always do this: if char 1 to 15 of the result is "can't find card" then I think you'll agree that's hardly a burden compared to the benefit. However, you bring up a larger issue: internationalisation. Is the error in fact "can't find card" even if the language...

Hi All, I have an image that I'd like to use to highlight the user's last choice. It' an image that just adds a glow. However if I put it on top, it eats all events so the object behind it isn't getting the event...so when the user clicks on the glowing past choice, nothing happens. I was told to se...

The thing causing the trouble was the 'lock size & position' checkbox.

If this is not checked, then sizing only happens when the angle is 0.

If this is checked, then sizing and rotation can happen at the same time.

Seems backwards, but there it is.

I haven't gotten any further with it as I'm still wrapping my head around LiveCode (which is taking a surprisingly long time).

Anyway, if I find anything out I'll let you know...please do the same.

In one of my stacks I'm using the skinning code that David demonstrated in the Games Academy. Pretty cool stuff, until it all goes wrong. "can't find card". Huh...that's strange. The card is *there*. When I type it in the message box it works. What gives? I finally twigged that the name of the skin ...

Ah, that works for lines, curves, or irregular polygons. What about rect? rounded rect?, oval?

I think the thing I find most frustrating with runrev is the sheer chaotic nature of the interfaces.

Hi All, I was having a look at multi-touch, and ran across something strange: Setting the width and height of an image only seems to have an effect when the angle of the image is 0. Can that be right? I can image a *very* long way around this by cloning the image, scaling the new image, and then rot...

That's just fantastic!

I thought that was gonna be some heavy smoke and mirrors.

*grin*

Hi All, I have a card I'm using as a data store. The interesting bits I save on this card are things like "login name", and various preferences. Trouble is, this card won't be saved in the production version. There, it will always load with empty fields on the data card. I'm using Klaus Major's exce...

First off, context: OS X 10.6.8 XCode 4.2 LiveCode 5.0.2 iPad 2, running iOS 5.0 If that's not camel-case hell, I don't know what is. I'm quite a newbie at LiveCode (2-3 weeks), and only slightly better on iOS (2-3 months). Which is to say, please don't assume that I know much of anything about anyt...
