Re: Setting script in object not working...
Thanks Alex, I will try the behavior path... The funny thing is I swear that this was working in earlier versions. I even created a new simple stack with two buttons and a field. the stack has a customproperty call mymessage mymessage is on mouseUp put hello into fld tOut end mouseUp button start has the following script on mouseUp set the script of btn test to the mymessage of stack tmirror end mouseUp Pressing button start sets the script of button test with the customproperty. Pressing button test puts hello into fld tOut It works for both ide and the application. So some how my main project stack has something that changes when made into an application... I confirmed this with adding a test button to output the images' scripts... they were all empty? It is hard to trouble shoot an app if it works in the ide. The behavior path is a good idea as it might point to where the issue lies. thanks, Glen On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 4:11 PM, Alex Tweedly a...@tweedly.net wrote: Sounds like you're running into something to do with scriptlimits (though I don't see why when you have a very simple short script). It's not clear from your description whether the script you want to set is known ahead of time and simply stored in custom property, or whether it is genuinely dynamic. Would you be able to, rather than set the script of each image, simply set the behaviour of the image to some (pre-created) button with the appropriate script already in place? -- Alex.

Re: Setting script in object not working...
Hi Pete, I am not trying to save the new images in the standalone but only show them. If the user wants to save the images they are exported as png's. But I am now certain that there is something amiss... I can set the tooltip for the images and it works fine in both ide and the application. I have also tried adding a couple of test buttons, one that cycles through the images of the group and sets their script and one that reads the list of image ids that I store and then set the scripts with direct references... both fail in the application but work in the ide. This looks like it will come down to massive trial and error to solve the problem... so any ideas on tackling the issue? By the way the behavior idea failed. thanks, Glen On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 4:27 PM, Pete p...@mollysrevenge.com wrote: Is this another manifestation of not being able to save anything in a stack in a standalone program?

Re: Setting script in object not working...
I'd try adding your 'start' and 'test' buttons to the real stack, and see if they work there. If they do, add an image 'test1' and have the 'start' button set its script as well. If that works, try doing that *after* you have created all the other images (in case its an issue with total number of script lines set). No other ideas yet -- Alex.

Re: Setting script in object not working...
Here is where it gets interesting... I created a couple of fields and test buttons one field I add what I want as a script and the button beside it sets the script of the image (just doing one for now) the other button reads what the script is from the image into the field beside it ; also the field I can use to output any mouseUp info from the image. when I try to set the script of the image with the following text in the field it does nothing (does not set the script of the image at all??) on mouseUp lock screen if exists(img tempPlot) then delete img tempPlot copy me paste set the name of the last img to tempPlot set the width of img tempPlot to 727 set the height of img tempPlot to 255 set the loc of img tempPlot to the loc of btn locStripChart set the lockloc of img tempPlot to true set the script of of img tempPlot to the plotZoom of stack NM V1 set the tooltip of of img tempPlot to the tempPlotTooltip of stack NM V1 unlock screen end mouseUp When I remove the lock screen if exists(img tempPlot) then delete img tempPlot unlock screen from the field leaving the following in the field it then sets the image script AND when I click the image it generates the image expected? But the new image's script is missing (which is probably the same problem we are trying to solve currently) on mouseUP copy me paste set the name of the last img to tempPlot set the width of img tempPlot to 727 set the height of img tempPlot to 255 set the loc of img tempPlot to the loc of btn locStripChart set the lockloc of img tempPlot to true set the script of of img tempPlot to the plotZoom of stack NM V1 set the tooltip of of img tempPlot to the tempPlotTooltip of stack NM V1 end mouseUP Remember that all of this works in the ide without any problems?? ___ 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: Setting script in object not working...
Further testing points to my main project stack has the problem... I rebuilt a smaller stack that creates an image, and derives it's script in the same fashion as my main stack and it works without any issues. It's going to be a long night... thanks for the ideas and help but I have something that is specific to this stack and I don't want to bother anyone since it won't be reproducible else where.

Re: Setting script in object not working...
I tried a variation of that but for some reason the images aren't taking the script consistently? It's like the images sometimes work when they do get a script and other times it takes several clicks before the script is executed? I was thinking if there was a way to determine if the user clicks over an image that is in a group and possible set a script in the group. This would eliminate scripts limitations and any other possible issues. I am not sure how to approach this... the group scrolls when there are more images that can be seen on the screen but I don't think a mouseUp script for the group is trapped on the scroll bar so that should be fine. The question is how to determine the image below the mouse when the user does click?

I create option buttons on the fly for the Android menu button and iOS menus from a soft menu button. I have no problem putting a script in them. I do ==set the script of bname to (on mouseup cr tab ProcessMenu quote (item 2 of line I of MenuList) quote cr end mouseup) This 3 line script works for mobile standalone and in the IDE.

With the mouseup handler at the grouplevel, you can look at 'the target' to determine which image has been clicked.
