Thanks FourthWorld, Much appreciated.

Hi Folks, I need to create a directory where some intermediate directory(ies) may not exist. Does LiveCode have anything equivalent to the unix mkidr -p command, or will I have to check this manually? I figure I can split on slash and then loop through creating directories if they don't exist, but j...

Thanks guys, Both suggestions worked! Much appreciated. I tried both: put the field "Field1" of the card "Card1" into myContainer put the text of field "Field1" of card "Card1" into myContainer and ended up using the second form as it seemed the most expressive, even if a tad longer.

Hi Folks, I've been trying to find this in the docs and tutorials, without success, so I'm hoping someone here can help. I a stack with several cards, let's call them card1 and card2. While in card2 I need to get the value of a field in card1 and put it into a container in the current card, i.e. car...

Hi Folks, I've been searching on how to trap the shift+tab key sequence to navigate to the previous text input field, but am unable to find anything on it. Is there a message that can be trapped? Along these same lines, is it possible to chain messages together so they might share similar actions? A...

Hi Folks, I read the following: "If there has been an error connecting to the server the "socketError" message will be sent. (If the error is due to a problem finding the specified host, the error message is returned in the result, and no "socketError" message is sent.)" in the "How to communicate w...

Thanks,

Not TL;DR; by any stretch. I agree whole heartedly about having good documentation and naming conventions. Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Hi Dave, Thanks so much for your quick reply, I appreciate it. Your suggestions did the trick, my problem was in the way I was calling the function; I was returning a value but was not putting into anything. As soon as I changed it to: put openNetworkConnection into networkStatus it started working ...

Hi Folks, I would like to start a library of code that can be called from different cards. After reading up on the subject it seems like the way to do it is as follows: 1. Create a new substack, name it. 2. add: start using stack "stackname" to the preOpenStack message of the first card of the mains...

Folks, I received the following email this morning regarding bug report 10297 at http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10927 Maybe it will be useful to someone in this discussion. ---------------- bug report comment ------------------- Hi Daryl, I added a comment to the lesson: "How do I become ...

So there apparently is more to this than meets the eye. What works for some does not work for others. I've attached some screenshots in case they might prove helpful, but they only show that I am running LiveCode 6.0.2-rc-1 with ADT revision 22, which is working fine on OS X Mountain Lion. I found t...

Thanks MWieder, I appreciate your help. I'm going to relax over the weekend and look the app on Monday, with a fresh perspective. Hope you have a good weekend as well.

Hi MWieder,

Well it's really just an extension of the first question. I am just trying to find a way to get more information about the problem that I posted here originally, so I can fix it.

Best Regards,

Daryl

Hi MWieder, Thanks for your reply. I am sure I am checking the platform correctly, although I am having a problem having the debugger follow the mobile code path. I am going to different cards based on the platform, and starting to think that design might be more trouble than it's worth. The debugge...

Hi Folks, I am having a very perplexing problem (for me anyway) and I am hoping someone here can point me in the right direction, as I suspect it is due to my lack of understanding and experience with LiveCode. I have a small application that just attempts to set it's stack/window dimensions and pri...
