LiveCode Forums.

Livecode 8 is supposed to be the same as 7 with the extra widget stuff. I just downloaded 8DP4 and tried to load a stack I wrote in 7. It looks like the interface is there but the stack script isn't loaded into memory or something. The stack script is there if I open it, but none of the handlers show up in the list on the left and everything that tries to call a handler in the stack script says it can't be found.

Also the tools palette only has four things total on it. Maybe that's related? Any thoughts?

The tools palette needs to be closed and re-opened in this beta build to be properly populated. That should be fixed in the next build.

As for the stack script, it may be that your script is using a new keyword in v8 - do you see any warnings when you edit the stack script?

Oh yeah, okay, the second time I opened LC8DP4 the tools palette is populated.

Oooooh, right. I think you guys said at the user group meeting that "ceiling" is a keyword and I can't use it as a handler. I replaced it with ceilingNum and everything works now.
