LiveCode Forums

I ran into a similar problem a few weeks back. http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=18209 Basically, I was told that the java script capability of the browser control is a know problem, and not likely to be fixed any time soon. Plus, when I was installing the Community edition, I read someth...

I've spent a LOT of time with that chat example. It's a great starting point. But it is two separate apps: Server & client. The problem is, all client to client communication has to be is relayed through the server. I've made some good progress in combining them, into one multi-function stack, but s...

I am VERY interested in Peer to Peer networking, and would be glad to participate in a Livecode open source project that aimed to build a simple framework for peer to peer communication. Rather than have one server app, and many clients, I'd like to help develop code for a single stack that could ac...

I'm sure the Menu Builder will eventually be fixed, but until then-- I just put a bunch of Menu Buttons into a Group, and set the "backgroundBehavior" to true, which places the Group with all the buttons on every card. They're completely reliable AND I don't have to worry about any OS differences.

While trying to find all the color names used by the system, I found the function, put the colornames which listed all of them. But I couldn't see any colors. So i wrote this little Button routine which displayed all the 552 names-- in the color of the name. Create a text field named, "color.names" ...

Excellent!! That works!

The key question may be why do the controls all have the same name? I'm using the Charts Engine plugin. Rather than use the automatically generated legend, I've created a series of Option Menu Buttons for each line in the chart, with various functionality. Anyway, I've been calling these Buttons: L...

Livecode lets you create as many objects with the same name as you want. I've looked all over, but I can't seem to find how to reference these objects individually. put "hello world" into fld "test" 3 put "hello world" into fld "test"[3] put "hello world" into fld 3 "test" None of those work. I do k...

Here an example that illustrates one way this can be done. on mouseUp put "click me" into temp create button temp set the loc of it to 200,100 set the width of it to 60 set the height of it to 30 set the script of btn "click me" to "on mouseUp" & cr & "beep" & cr & "end mouseUp" set the label of btn...

I'm using a line chart with potentially 10 lines. When the user clicks on a element in the Legend, I want the corresponding line on the Chart to become hilited. In order to do this, I would be changing the line width. But since the Legend Buttons are created dynamically, by Animation Engine, I need ...

A while back, I was concerned about saving properties, text, and configuration data, without having to save the entire stack, which I knew would be problematic in mobile environments. So I wrote this single function that could be dropped into any one of my stacks, allowing me to easily save and retr...

Thanks for the answer Craig. I appreciate the pointers on efficient app design. Basically, I've got a bunch of cards that grab some info from the internet and update some text fields. I've got a few of these cards, each referencing different data. The button is necessary, for the user to initiate th...

I put a lot of my code in Buttons, which makes testing easier. Then I often need to run these from other cards. But of course if that card is not open when I execute the Dispatch command to run the script in that button, I get an error that the field object cannot be referenced. Of course by placing...

Got it!

I see every time my code Puts something into the Message Box, the previous output is overwritten.
Is it possible to have new output added to the existing output?
So I can see a running list of all output text.
