So: there I was, telling my EFL pupils a story to illustrate the Future Simple, Future Continuous, Future Perfect Simple and Future Perfect Continuous; all in Active and Passive forms today:

And I kept having to this sort of thing in the Message Box:

Which seemed, frankly, bloody silly considering MetaCard had a colour chooser stack.

LiveCode does not have a 'color chooser': why not?

Oh: and why have the stacks this refers to:

vanished?

I believe -hh pulled them from share because (at the time) they were moving the server and uploading/downloading was a problem.

I seem to remember him moving his stuff to his own server, which I am pretty sure is listed in the really long thread he devoted to his widget examples, but not positive that is the case.

Not sure what you mean that Lc doesn't have a color chooser, the color stuff is at the bottom of the tools palette? Or, if your talking about the one Mc had in the property inspector, the same exists in the colors selections of whatever object your looking at.

Yes: you are right: pretty obscure though.
