actually I just thought about this for a second and shortened the code a tiny bit....there is no need to stick the random number into a variable...so we end up with this...

put line random(i) of vText into fld "someField"

right?

Ut oh...either I am in trouble or I am an idiot....

Klaus....I think I ruined your teachable moment here and gave him the answer....sorry....but I want to answer this so that I may bask in the coding goodness of your knowledge! :D (This is just as much for me as it is for him) I would assume you are referring to something like this? on mouseUp --Popu...

I would look into the keyword "any"....correct me if I am wrong here guys but I think "random" only applies to picking random numbers.....I have been using "any" in a program I am currently developing that choses random locations for fields to move to... example: (gets the locations) repeat with x= ...

Roger, Thank you very much for taking the time to construct that example for me! That was awesome! Works EXACTLY as I wanted....

LOL! I did think of that....I repeated the alphabet in the field like 75 times!! Nice one though!

Hello everyone...new question of the day for me....I am trying to assign each label of a group of buttons to a random character and am running into issues....I just simply want to randomly pick a letter between A-Z and assign the button that letter. So far I am having some luck but out of the 50 but...

BUMMER!

Been searching for an answer to this but no luck...Is it possible to trigger two visual effects at the same time and have them applied to the object simultaneously? Example... on mouseUp lock screen for visual effect hide me unlock screen with visual effect dissolve fast and push right end mouseUp n...

Craig....Yeah I was trying to have the repeat ignore the button that was being clicked....To me it seemed to work because it resulted in the effect I was looking for. I actually just wrote that loop last night and thought I was soo smart! It didn't give me an error and I thought it was okay....well ...

I really need to leave this to the professionals!

Just as a follow up Don...right click on a button in development mode and select the property inspector. Look at the colors&patterns section and mouse over some of the items there....tool tip will give you handy commands for each section like "textColor" "backGroundColor etc. Open a script up and st...

Hi Don....What I do in this situation is simply this....say you have two buttons and the first button is going to change colors when you press it....then when you press the second button that button changes colors while the first button goes back to its original state....I do this....(group the butt...

Klaus....sorry to keep this thread alive and kicking but I have something strange going on here....Iv'e noticed navigating between stacks using no visual effects works but has some unexpected things happening when you have code in the preOpenCard script. The first time you navigate to the sub stack ...

Okay....this is not a huge deal but was wondering if anyone has run into this issue. Generally I develop at home on my iMac and then when I go to work I use a Mac mini to develop while I'm there. I just use my drop box to share the .livecode file between locations. I am throwing this out there in ef...
