Graphics into fields & limiting lines

[penyo311]

Any help is really appreciated!

So I have:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   
  set the HTMLText of char 2 of fld 1 to "<img src=Happy.png>"
            if char 2 of fld 1 is empty
   then put char 2 of fld 1 into ChatBox 
else set the HTMLText of char 9 of fld 1 to "<img src=Happy.png>"
end mouseUp

I feel there has to be an easier way. I just need the images, when clicked/pushed to go into the field, next to one another and for there only to be a max of 4 per line before moving on to the next line.

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi.
Are you sure you do not want this instead:

set the imageSource of char 2 of fld 1 to "<img src=Happy.png>"

Has the image in question been imported into the stack, or other stack in use?

All that said, is this what you intended? I sort of think you want four images set side-by-side, but this ought not to involve a field, necessarily. Perhaps a dataGrid?

Well I want them to be able to be "sent" like a message, So how would I get them to send as such, in whatever order the user wants to select.. As it is now if you select a different order the "image" gets replaced.

I am developing this after being in the hospital for 8 days and noticing people that couldn't talk or write it's a long process to communicate how you're feeling and what you want.. So select how you're feeling etc and then send it as a message to your family via text or however but my hurdle is getting the images to insert into the field in whatever order they are "clicked" on.

Anyways, I am very excited and appreciate your help so, so, so much!

Hi Kyle,
Admirable and FUN project!
How about this, look up the keyword "Last"

Code: Select all

set the imageSource of the last char of fld 1 to img "happy.png"

err looks like you have to use the image ID, but play around with that.

Thank you Simon! I have

Code: Select all

  set the imageSource of the last char of fld ChatBox to img "1004"

cause you said I have to use the ID but nothing happens when that is plugged in, I may have the resources messed up, somehow but wanted to make sure my code was "sound"

Thank you everyone~!

Kyle, with a smile.

Good start.
But please look in the Dictionary for proper use of imageSource, you'll see that I (we) made a little error.

Simon
Edit; and you have your quotes in the wrong place
Craig won't let me spell it out for you as you should learn how to use the resources available to you. I agree but sometimes it's just too much fun solving questions.

[penyo311]

oh and sorry to be a nuisance..

Code: Select all

set the HTMLText of last char of fld ChatBox to "<img src=Angry.png>"

replaces the last character, instead of setting it next to it.

[penyo311]

Thanks Simon, I have looked up till 4:30 going what am I doing wrong ahaha, I appreciate it so much!

[Simon]

Ok good... Now how would you go about adding a new character to the end of the field then replace it?
It would happen so fast you needn't worry about it looking funny.

Simon

[penyo311]

That's what has been rattling my brain.

[Simon]

Ok so as I imagine it you have a bunch of images that the users clicks on to add to the fld.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
put "a" _____ field "ChatBox" -- see if you can figure out what word goes there
set the imageSource of the last char of field "ChatBox" to 1004
end mouseUp

Just take a wild guess at what word could be used there

I love fill in the blanks Can we play hangman? HAha

thank you I am working on it now

"a" is part of the code? my first thought was blank and then empty

In the stock market there is Pre-Market trading (4:00-9:30 a.m. ET) and... What?


You get hints because I don't think it is "readily" apparent.

Simon
edit; "a" is part of the code but it could be any character e.g. "3"

[penyo311]

Thank you so much, AFTER a nap I finally was able to complete it

Hi Kyle,

you may want to work through these stacks to get the basics of Livecode:
