Re: Down a leafy lane or up queer street?
I avoid global variables as these are visible to any open stack you are working on, so you cannot have 2 stacks open that use the same global names or they will overwrite each other. Instead I use the custom properties of the mainstack as an ad hoc stack global system. I do this with cards and objects too. It means I need to have a line in each script for each property I want to use, but an easy fix for that is to have a handler in the object script that sets the values of script local variables to the values of the custom properties you need. You only have to run this once, say on openCard. Now you have script local variables set to the values of all your properties, AND they have the added virtue of being persistent through app launches.

Re: Down a leafy lane or up queer street?
The variabel scope can be a bit tricky. The difference between a script local variabel (declared as a local variabel outside any handlers) and a global variabel can be confusing. They act very much the same way when used within one script. The main difference being that a global variabel can be used in any script when it is declared in the same script. Both variabels retain their values between handlers and sessions as long as the application is open. To add to the confusion, temporary variabels (undeclared or declared local within a handler) are referred to as local variabels also. For the convenience of my students I refer to variabels that are undeclared (or declared within a handler) for temporary variabels, with names starting with t-. I only refer to local variabels as local when they are declared outside of handler, and I use names starting with s-. To make sure that global variabels are easily recognised as such I start their name with g-. I use the same naming convention for arrays. I also declare all global and script local variabels at the top of my scripts. Then I am sure they will be available to all handlers in that script.

I imagine that if you had strict mode enabled then the IDE would flag it for you too (if undeclared).

Re: Down a leafy lane or up queer street?
Did you declare it as a global on the card also? You have to declare it for every context that it will be used. Stack, card, if you use it in a button script, wherever. If you've declared it in a card script, and set its value, but then use it WITHOUT declaration all you get back is the text of the name (IE route66) The reason you can see the value when checking it from the message box, is that it is executing the commands as if they were in the context of the stack script. To test what I mean, create a script in a button with the following: on mouseup put "undeclared variable:" && tUndeclared -- shows tUndeclared in the message box local tDeclared put cr & "Declared but un-set variable:" && tDeclared after msg -- no value shown, tDeclared exists but is empty put "value set" into tDeclared put cr & "Declared and value set to: " & tDeclared after msg -- tdeclared exists and now has a value end mouseup On Sun, Apr 29, 2018 at 12:15 PM, Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > OK: finally I have sorted out the problem. > > It seems that IFF I have this in my cardScript: > > globalroute66 > > onpreOpenCard > > putspecialFolderPath("resources") & "/assets/img/" intoroute66 > > everything works. > > What I would like to know is: > > Why does THAT script & the declaration of a global NOT work when it > resides in the stackScript? > > Richmond. > > > On 29/4/2018 8:56 pm, Richmond Mathewson wrote: > >> So, I have corrected the specialFolderPath as per your instructions. >> >> But I am still going wrong as my source for the imgData of img "p1" is >> still >> listed asroute66p1.png . . . >> >> Richmond. >> >> On 29/4/2018 8:01 pm, J.

Re: Down a leafy lane or up queer street?
If route66 is declared as a local variabel in the card script (and it must be declared outside any handlers), then all other scripts that uses this variabel must reside in the card script as well. If it is declared as a global variabel, it must be declared in all scripts that uses this variabel.

RE: Down a leafy lane or up queer street?
Richmond, First of all I never use lockscreens in preopencards. It's redundant unless there are some conditions I'm unaware of. I recently had this problem when I used "file==>Import control from==>image file" and then subsequently set the filename property. It seemed like once the image control was using an image imported to stack I could never set the filename property and get anything other than the "horrible gray square". I don't think it was always this way. What I did to fix it was to delete the control and then added an empty image control from the IDE tools pallet. After that I was able to set the filename property and see the images just fine and dandy. Any chance this is also your problem?
