Newbie questions

Post by leston12 » Wed Apr 03, 2013 6:23 am

Hi all ... I am trying to test LC as a platform for developing Android (first) and then iOS apps, so about 10 days into my trial.
Been going through some tutorials, got the JDK and Android SDK all setup (I think) and trying to figure things out.

The weird thing is, all of a sudden the Dictionary won't open for me. I click it, and ... nothing.
I have previously opened it w/o any problem. Any ideas?

BTW, I used to be quite adept at MC programming back in the day...glad to see this product still around and to see all of the growth.

I recall this happening if one used a dual monitor setup and then removed one of them, there was another trigger but I can't remember what it was.
This should help you find it, put:
set the loc of stack revDictionary to the screenloc
into the message box.

I have a dual monitor setup at work, and that must have been the problem. Thanks for the help, Simon.

I've had that happen, too. The dictionary stack seems to remember its previous location a bit *too* well. Try

Code: Select all

set the loc of stack "revDictionary" to the screenloc
