LiveCode Forums.

When you save a stack, LC actually creates a new copy and deletes the old one. When the new one runs it's like you just opened it and all normal messages are sent. You can try locking messages before saving, or just type "save stack TestSOStack" in the message box.

Brilliant.

I'm late coming into this because LC has blocked me from the forums and I need to use a VPN to get around it. Sometimes even that doesn't work. It has something to do with the recnt DoS attack. Anyway...I still get the daily digest so I know what's going on but it's tedious to respond. I wonder if t...

One solution that might help for both conditions is to set up the stackfiles property in the mainstack. That allows you to use the short stack name while the engine uses the long file name.

Probably never as LC is supposedly running hell-for-leather towards the web-based-thing. LC has stated they will support the classic version for 3 years, which is at least until 2027 depending on when they started the countdown, maybe through 2028. Someone should write a bug report specifying what ...

I know that an iPhone has this "sentence" feature. a period followed by any number of spaces will automatically make the next "ordinary" character uppercase. But isn't the OP trying to do this in a LC app?

It's possible. I may have read "Android keyboard" wrong.

This isn't a LC thing, it's a keyboard setting. Which keyboard are you using? I use SwiftKey, and the option is in the keyboard settings. Are you using the native Google keyboard?

The only problem with SVG widgets are the bounding boxes - unfortunately the empty space in these will intercept mouseovers and mouse clicks so the empty spaces overlapping other graphics will cause this to fail. I've done this with native LC graphics. The trick here is to set the opacity of each g...

I haven't been able to access the forums or any Livecode site page for 2 days, the connection always times out. I tried 3 different browsers on several devices with the same result. Today I used a VPN to access a server in Germany and got through immediately. My VPN is still on as I write this. Anyo...

Here's a way to search for multiple terms using the filter function. This assumes that search terms are separated by spaces but items would work too with minor modifications. It doesn't matter where the data is stored, in my test I used a field but a property would work fine. The main thing is the f...

As you noticed, playStopped is only sent when the media reaches the end. It should probably have been called playEnded. You could change the card handler to trap playPaused instead.

The most annoying thing about computers is that they always do exactly what you tell them to.

Sure, go ahead and post it. Maybe a third person viewpoint will find something.

I assume this is on Mac? Is it possible that the menu group was duplicated and the wrong one is being used as a menu bar? Wild guess, I know.

Also, you are only searching a single word "cheese" in the first repeat because it's a literal, so by default there is only one so-called item. You want to search the field content, and it would go faster if you put the text of the field into a variable. put the text of fld "gaff" into tText put 0 i...
