What was the syntax to lock and unlock part of a screen? I didn't know you could do that.

I'm prototyping an app that requires objects to go from the left hand side of the screen to the right hand side of the screen, in a motion similar to how you propel a bird in Angry Birds (a parabolic path, I guess?) I know I could just make a big huge list of coordinates, but there's got to be an ea...

Hi Richard, short question: Do you play these recorded sounds with "play filename" or are you using a player object? If the first, try the latter one :D "record sound file ..." will not create files that are compatible with the "play soundname" command! Best Klaus Neither - I'm playing it back in t...

Can you please tell me which version of LiveCode you're running?

Followup - I "added a note" back almost a month ago. Either it was never added, or my Dictionary does not update. Do you have to manually update the Dictionary?

I made a new stack, with two buttons. Button number one is: on mouseUp record sound file "/Users/admin/Desktop/my_new_sound_file" end mouseUp And button number two is: on mouseUp stop recording end mouseUp The first button will record the Mac's microphone to a file, and the second button stops recor...

If locking the screen won't mess things up, you can do this:

Thanks, Jean-Marc! That definitely gives me something to go on.

Bump again!

I had a thread on here about that very same external. Many people can't get it to work, but the ability to record audio on iOS is major, huge, big, enormous, and large. And important.

Sorry I don't have anything else to add. At least it bumped the post.

When you have an image, you can put the line "grab me" into on mouseDown and clicking on the image makes it draggable. COOL! But say you have an image that is the number 0. And you want very little kids to be able to drag it around, but if they click (on computer) or touch (on iOS) in the middle of ...

AH! Yeah, I forgot the specialfolderpath. Sometimes it's the most obvious things that get overlooked. Once again, I thank you, Klaus. I REALLY appreciate it.

I have an assets folder in the same directory as my stack, and I always include it in the "Copy Files" area of the standalone settings. So I can set the filename of a graphic to, say, "./assets/mybackground.png" and it will work fine. But how do I get a listing of the file names inside of the assets...

The Dictionary can be amended with user comments. While it would be ideal to have the main entry updated, in the meantime sharing a note there about the new syntax may be helpful. That's a good point. So last night I created an account and submitted a user comment with details about the new syntax....
