All.

I usually do not consider this, but is the OP a real person?

Anyway, if so, energeticboy, how much experience do you currently have with LiveCode?

OK, here it is with Richmond's cards.

Craig

A quick test stack attached. Did not try it with the front and back of a playing card.

Craig

Bogs. Are you saying that Richmond wants to "rotate" the card visually, changing from the starting image to the final? If so it seems to me that you need to narrow the starting image in a second or so down to zero width, and then expand the final image from zero to full width. That should look like ...

Bogs.

Yep. I now see the standard inspector pane I posted. The colors threw me.

Craig

Richmond.

Not sure what you mean.

In any case, can't you use the "visual effect" command to simulate the action you want? Maybe a "wipe"?

Craig

What happens when you try to open it? Are you doing that from the finder? Can you open LC itself? Have you restarted your machine?

Craig

MC was before my time; I held onto HC until jacque finally convinced my I was being silly. Anyway, just to be sure Bob's question is answered, here is a screenshot of the LC "Table" tab.

Craig

Bob.

LC has only one field object, and a table field is just a field with certain properties.

The "table" tab is fourth from the left in the inspector.

Craig

Richmond.

Are you still trying to use 0-F as a suite of integers in LC? I am sure you can create a gadget that translates those sixteen chars into numbers, and proceed from there.

No?

Or can you post an example of what you are trying to do with them?

Richmond.

and if it were put into a variable it would be interpreted as a number.

Long time since I wrote any Fortran, but are you saying Fortran would return "true" with (pseudo): Craig

Richard. I set the lockLoc of each group. I also set their clipsToRect property, which I had barely ever heard of, just because it was right there in the inspector. LockLoc does not prevent relocating a control under script control, just under mouse action, so arranging groups in a line was unaffect...

Richard, Jacque.

Not my first bizarre rodeo. Anyway, changing properties solved it, and you know what I think about solving problems without understanding how.

Craig

Jacque. The default is to expand groups to fit the content. Sure, but the text of the field never changed. The button was actually a pulldown, but was sized so that no selection from its possible menu choices exceeded its width. I did that so that I could arrange the groups evenly spaced along a row...

Richard. I never adjusted the relationship between the child button and the field. I only moved the group itself around the card. This really happened. The first time or two I carefully resized the group boundaries so that it was just barely larger than the two child controls inside.That way when I ...
