Re: Missing digits when replacing single digit item with two digit item?
Hi John, instead of decimals use true hex (has 15 digits) OR, very effective, dadaNumbers (my youngest daughter named this) you may use e.g. n=48 or n=65 function dec2dada dc,n return numToByte(n+dc) end dec2dada function dada2dec hx,n return byteToNum(hx)-n end dada2dec ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Missing digits when replacing single digit item with two digit item?
John: I've had gremlins like this in the past where certain functions run before the interior expression. Or put another way: what is inside parentheses is not always evaluated as expected when running inside a function request. I have never been able to determine a recipe, but my solution is always the same: build the variable first *then* run it into your function: This could be creating wrong results (I lost your email with the button script put urlEncode (Button tBotton) into tCurrentLocation Try this instead (two lines instead of 1) put (Button tBotton) into tCurrentLocation put urlEncode(tCurrentLocation) into tUploadLatestPosition Why not must post a number? You don't really need Button 12 all you need is 12 Swasti Astu, Be Well!

Re: Missing digits when replacing single digit item with two digit item?
And here is the button script to move the player’s game piece: on mouseUp put cd fld username of cd 1 into tTargetPlayer put the loc of cd btn tTargetPlayer into tTargetPlayerLoc put 1 into x repeat 15 put the id of cd button ( Button x ) return after GameSpots add 1 to x end repeat put 1 into x repeat for number of lines in GameSpots if the loc of btn id (line x of GameSpots) is tTargetPlayerLoc then put the short name of button id (line x of GameSpots) into tLabels end if add 1 to x end repeat put char 1 to 2 of word 2 of tLabels into tCurrentSpot put tCurrentSpot + (cd fld DiceRoll) into tButton if tButton 15 then put 1 into tButton move cd button tTargetPlayer to the loc of cd button (Button tButton) put urlEncode(tTargetPlayer) into tUsername put urlEncode(Button tButton) into tButtonSpot put username= tUsername ButtonSpot= tButtonSpot into tArgList post tArgList to URL http://jpatten.on-rev.com/superdupergame/moveplayer.lc; put it --into tData else move cd button tTargetPlayer to the loc of cd button (Button tButton) put urlEncode(tTargetPlayer) into tUsername put urlEncode(Button tButton) into tButtonSpot put username= tUsername ButtonSpot= tButtonSpot into tArgList post tArgList to URL http://jpatten.on-rev.com/superdupergame/moveplayer.lc; put it --into tData end if end mouseUp On Aug 3, 2014, at 7:32 PM, JOHN PATTEN johnpat...@me.com wrote: Hello!
