I have found a workaround, but it is probably the ugliest workaround I have ever done.

answer file "Choose an image"
put it into tFile
lock screen
import paint from file tFile
set the name of the last img to "temp"
set the height of img "iOrig" to the height of img "temp"
set the width of ...

This is the expected behavior if the lockLoc of the image is true. Is it locked?
The group is locked, but that is necessary otherwise when you set the filename the image takes over the whole stack rather than just activate the scrollbars. Here is what I have just done to test the problem. I have ...

I have a stack that I built several years ago in RunRev 3.0. I have been updating the app on LiveCode 7.1. I have just noticed a problem that began with the transition. I have an image. the image is grouped so that when it's filename is set to a larger image than the group it will scroll with the ...

This is kind of an ugly way to do it, but it works provided the cursor is exactly to the right of the word you want deleted (no space between them). I'm sure someone can come up with a better way. Maybe a regex solution?

put word 2 of the selectedChunk into x
put x-1 into x
repeat until ...

I suspect that the comments section is not written in HTML. It is more than likely a java or flash app.

Look up foundText and foundLine.

Another possibility..Check your anti-Virus software. Some real time protection apps will run a scan on any unknown software before it will allow it to run.

Magice and Newbie4,

Where to start? I’m sure I’m going to sound really dense. Most of the info you guys gave me is new, so it might take me some time to completely understand it.

Problem is guys, I don’t know how to save data in a custom property which is then saved as an “external” stack in ...

look oh "keys" in the LiveCode dictionary :wink:
I have check the dictionary but i don't find anything related to this.
if i put the below code i get only 1 key the first one. <MyArray 1>
put the keys of myArray1 to pKeys

I am not to sure what got you to this point, and I suspect that there may ...

Programs (like LiveCode) are normally installed into a directory that has restricted permissions (Apple==>"Applications", PC==>"Program Files"). You need "Admin" rights to install it and to change it. Users can only execute programs that are in it. They can not write or save files in that ...

But then the stack you open has to run in the IDE, that is with LC resident on the machine, no? It is not really a standalone.

Craig

It is essentially the same as a splash screen. It will run on any machine even one without LC. (provided you have all necessary external files)

Here is a little trick to show how stacks that are not saved as stand alone apps can still act like it is one. Create a stack with 1 button. In that button script put these 2 lines of code :

on mouseUp
answer file "navigate to any uncompiled stack file"
open it
end mouseUp


Now save it as a ...

why not do away with the global variable altogether and use a custom property?


on openStack
set the cStartArrow of this stack to false
end openStack


then to make the change

set the cStartArrow of this stack to true


and of course in the if statement:
if the cStartArrow of this stack is ...

@Magice, I do not see the broken global reference in the button handlers. "gStartArrow" is declared in both. The other globals are not declared, but they are not involved either. I assume it is declared in the card script. (?)

@Peacfulrvr. And do everyone a favor. Place all your script examples ...
