LiveCode Forums.

Sorry if I wasted anyone's time. I found the issue. I'll edit my post so the next person that doesn't read the Dictionary well enough will see what they've done wrong. Solution: The messages (revXMLStartTree etc.) need to be handled by the CARD, not the object (In my case, a button) that makes the c...

Hi Ender, Thanks. Once you get the hang of it, it gets easier. I've played it so many times testing things that I got really good at it :) Since you're a fellow livecoder, if you have any strategy questions, ask them and I'll try to give you an answer. I made a conscience decision not to tell all of...

Hi Simon,

I can certainly share. Does Peter prefer to be emailed or is there a better way to get the info to him?

Hello all, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of the RunRev staff for all of the hard work they put into LiveCode and I want to thank everyone in the forums who are so generous with their time and knowledge. Because of you, my first iOS game, InfeXius, has been approved and is now available on t...

Additionally, depending on the security environment the OP is deploying to, changes to the registry may very likely be locked out. However, it is usually less likely for the Startup folder to be locked down. At least, that has been my personal experience having worked in a pretty strict environment ...

Hi ale870, There is a new external script editor from Daniels and Mara (of GLX2 fame) called tRev. You can do all of your development and compiling using it. You still have to layout the UI using the Rev IDE. However, once the UI is laid out, it has a feature called "Snaps" that allows you to intera...

Hi Max, You can also try this... Open up the Messagebox. Make sure your mouse is hovering over the script editor and execute these 2 lines in the Messagebox: set the height of the mousestack to 200 set the loc of the mousestack to the screenloc Of course, you can use any height you want, just make s...

Thanks, Jacqueline!

More very helpful information.

That's exactly what I was leaning towards doing. Do you know if there are any limitations to a getProp that a function does not have? Or vise-versa?

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the reply. I did read your article earlier. Very helpful.

My understanding is that "call" only works with handlers, not functions. Also, I didn't see any way for "call" to handle a return value.

Is my understanding correct?

Hello All, This is a little bit of a follow-up to my "malicious code" post. http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3806 I'm trying to figure out how to call a function in a specific external stack (note the word specific). This is because I would like my two external stacks to use the same ...

Thanks, Malte! I didn't know about "open invisible".

Hi Malte. Excellent! That's just the kind of information I was looking for. So, to clarify, if I have legitimate code in my external stack's libraryStack handler, I could do the following: 1) Lock messages 2) Start using my external stack 3) Check my "secret function" 4) Assuming it is valid, Stop u...

Hi Richard, Thanks for the reply. I was thinking along the same lines of having the main executable "talk" to the stack prior to any code execution but I'm so new to Rev (and stack programming in general...I've always been an OO guy), I'm not sure of the order of events. I've learned that to use the...

Hello All, I've been thinking deployment strategies and I've come across a question I can't find an answer to. The deployment method I'm leaning towards is multiple "Main" stacks where one is the executable and it uses the other (.rev) stacks. I believe this is similar to how RunRev deploys the IDE ...
