Heh, I know my post was long-windy Craig, but right there at the top, just below what you quoted, you *might* have at least glanced at this line -

Most of the kids attending my online courses tend to be preteens who do as they are told and turn off the PB from the startanyone using the PB will see that code
as I generally teach without any reference to it.

All I can say is "WOW!"
You teach pre-teens, and they do what you tell them too? They are unlike any pre-teens I ever knew or heard of...

Probably not. If you're deploying under proprietary license the solutions offered here for password-protecting a substack would suffice.richmond62 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 8:35 amI own an INDY licence, so I'm not sure if 'that' is the problem.
The inability of Community Edition to read protected stacks would only come info play if, instead of deploying a standalone, you want the recipient to be able to open the stack file in Community.

Re: Hiding code in a button in a commercial version of LiveCode
So do the teens I teach.You teach pre-teens, and they do what you tell them too? They are unlike any pre-teens I ever knew or heard of...
Unfortunately teachers in this country depise the kids they teach, and show it.
I just treat the kids I teach as if they are my equals (which some of them are; most
are way ahead of me) and very quickly a feeling of mutual respect develops.
Also, if some kids mess around and they look at me expecting a reaction they get one, "I don't care, my English/Programming is
far better than yours, so if you want to piss around it's your loss not mine."

Bogs suggestion of a complete standalone exemplar sounds as if it would accomplish your goal.My aim is to present learners with a stack with a button which, when they click on it,
runs a script, but they are prevented from being able to see the script.
At a certain point learners need to get away from being spoon-fed and start working out
how to effect functionality: a stack with a button that functions but the script cannot be seen
allows end users to script their own button to try to imitate the functionality of the older button
and have access to all the resources in that stack might just serve that purpose.
Perhaps in conjunction with a separate student stack that has all the resources except the button in question.
You show them a completed house. You give them a roofless house and all the materials and tools to build a roof.

Actually, that was spun off of ajperks thoughts...
