Another one for ya: using put from server to stack

[shawnblc]

Trying to do something like this and not having much luck, even locked LC up for a bit. When I do this I get the correct code, back in the message box, but when I try and call the handler nothing happens.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
myCode
end mouseUp

Code: Select all

on myCode
put line 1 to 20 of URL "http://mydomain/myfile.txt" into tLcCode
put tLcCode
end myCode

How quickly does Thai URL return in a browser?

Pretty dog-gone quick, it's a text file. I'll try wait.

Update: no luck, tried moving it to the preOpenStack too. No luck.

Code: Select all

put line 1 to 20 of URL "http://mydomain/.txt" into tLcCode

Just a typo or do you really have a .txt file with no name?

It's a typo.

It's working here on my site.

It's working here on my site.

Let me double check everything in the txt file and make sure I didn't make an error there. Hmmmm. Update in a few minutes.

Update: I can take exactly what I have in the txt file and paste in the handler and it works, when I get the code from the txt file though it just pops up in the message box. Nothing else happens as it should.

U get my pm?

U get my pm?

Just responded to your PM. Doesn't work for me either. I'm using LC 7.0.2 rc 1 build 10024. Does exactly like mine does and just pops up in the message box.

[Simon]

I just tested with LC 7.0.2 rc 1 build 10024 commercial and it is working.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question?

is it;
If you put all the code in a button it works but if you put "on myCode" into the card or stack script it doesn't work?

Wait a sec... that is what it is supposed to do.
Where did you want the 20 lines to show up?

Example: On my button script I have this:

On the stack script I'd have this on, say open stack

Code: Select all

on openStack
mLcCode
end openStack

in my text file I'd have this:

Code: Select all

launch URL "http://livecode.com"

[Simon]

...
in my text file I'd have this:

Code: Select all

launch URL "http://livecode.com"

Getting weirder...
You want to download a text file and run it as a script?

[shawnblc]

Yup. Just experimenting. Copied from another one, seems like it should work. Not working either, but I'm sure it's me.

Code: Select all

on closeStack
   mYahoo
end closeStack

Code: Select all

on mYahoo
   put URL "http://domain.com/launch.txt" into tURL
   put tURL
end mYahoo

Text file contains:

Code: Select all

launch URL "http://www.yahoo.com"

[Simon]

OOOOHHHHHH!
OK
Haven't tested it but
Add a new button (could be anything)
in your text file have this
on mouseUp
launch URL "http://www.livecode.com"
end mouseUp
Then download all three lines and

Code: Select all

set the script of the last button to tLcCode
send mouseUp to the last button
