Back at this just today, and astonished a what happened since my last post. @Eeveryone but Richmond. I know you guys get it, but still not sure about Richmond. @Richmond. With (on Mac, I am sure Windows can manage as well) with Shift, Control, Option and Command, you do not instantly see six two-key...

Richmond.

Calm down.

There are four "no-lock" control keys. That is six two-key combinations. You have five discrete needs. So, what am I missing?

Craig

I am confused. The difference between the names of keys ("alt" vs. cmd. for example) will not affect their behavior. Why not just ignore this entirely? The stack's instructions, which can be tailored for any platform, can refer to whatever name is appropriate. Or am I missing something here? Craig

I don't suppose you are amenable to three control keys?

Craig

Richmond.

The locking thing would make me cringe. No other double combination of control keys seems attractive?

Craig

Charles (?) Sounds like you are pretty well along for a "beginner". Some questions: Is there a single image or are there multiple ones, depending on the card? Whatever image there is, is that the first place the user is supposed to interact? You said "When you interact with an image, its visibility ...

All good stuff.

@ lucassinner. What is the latest news?

@mailWrithing.

I made the "W" uppercase to conform to good LC practice.

The thing about globals is spot on. I recommend you play with custom properties instead. They are far easier to manage, and even survive sessions.

Craig

Hi.

What Stam may have meant was to make sure the global was not empty. The scripts themselves are indeed perfectly sound.

You can test this with: Make sure there is something in that variable.

Craig

@Stam. I only meant that perhaps the issue is less complicated. If the user fills in an "ask" dialog, for example: ...ask "Enter data" put it into fld 3 of card 7 And if the user types into a field: put fld "entryField" into fld 3 of card 7 The need to store the data may not be an issue at all, only...

@Stam. Rereading, I suspect the OP has his user type data into a field or enter it from a dialog, and simply wants to transfer that data to another card. @mailwrithing. Interesting name. But is this correct? If so, then as Klaus mentioned, you simply need to identify the target container and the use...

Michael.

Post a handful of messages to clear the seven post minimum. They need no content; we will know what you are up to.

Craig

Michael. Very cool indeed. Can you use the 3D printer to "write" a label on the outside of your pens, to personalize them? That would boost sales a great deal, I think. You are the only other person I know of, besides myself, that has used LiveCode to control actual machines. I made three such gadge...

Hi. What Klaus said. The important thing he mentioned is to clearly define the destination of the data to which you want to transmit. Know that this can be extended to stacks as well, which is a "larger", but very similar idea; put fld 1 of cd 3 of stack "XYZ" into fld 3 of cd 2 of stack "ABC" You c...

If the maskData works pixel by pixel, that is the way to go. My method is a massive kluge.
