Livecode is crashing on startup

Post by stemser » Sun Oct 27, 2013 8:42 pm

Hi Folks,

I managed to code my script in a way, that whenever I open my livecode script, the whole livecode program shuts down.

Its saying runtime error (see attachement). So is there a way to prevent my script from being executed, once I open it?

Any other solutions?

Thx
Thomas

Hi Thomas

It sounds like your app is opening in 'run' mode and you need it to open in 'edit' mode. To do this first close down LiveCode if it is open, then re-open it without opening your app, then look for the 'messages' image on the toolbar (looks like an envelope) and click it so that the envelope closes - now try opening your app (and undo whatever it was you did that caused the crash). When you think it's safe to do so, remember to click the envelope to let those messages flow again!

Good luck!

Dave
