Re: Settings Scripts from a Script in a Standalone
Jackie, Thanks once again for your time on this. Very clear now. By the way, it seems like a minor things but what do those other numbers after the commas mean? Thanks, Ray Horsley LinkIt!

Re: Settings Scripts from a Script in a Standalone
Hi Ray, The first number is the error code, the second is the line on which the number happened and the third number is the character position of the faulty code. This is often but not always followed by a word indicating that faulty code. Usually there are mutliple lines in a raw error message. These lines indicate the message path to the faulty code and possible errors that might have occurred along the way. I made a little iPhone app that makes it possible to look up error codes. This is useful if LiveCode freezes for example, or if you don't want to write a script to look up the error. You can find the app in the iTunes store at http://qery.us/v4 -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.7 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/za On 4 feb 2012, at 16:24, Ray Horsley wrote: Jackie, Thanks once again for your time on this.

Settings Scripts from a Script in a Standalone
I've just noticed that in 5.0.2 a line in an idle handler script which sets the script of another stack is now failing. There's nothing in the result when it fails, although I do get a rather cryptic return if I put it in a try-catch (below). The rest of the idle handler simply stops running. The content of the script being set is only three lines long so I'm sure it doesn't exceed Livecode's limit (which I believe is 10 lines). As a matter of fact, if I run the same handle from a button in the standalone it works fine. Here's the try-catch error: 360,0,0 90,96,22 449,96,7,on idle 535,96,1,on idle Here's the script: put on myHandler into tmpScript put send numToChar(34)doIdlenumToChar(34) to stack numToChar(34)•Panels Shell•numToChar(34) into line 2 of tmpScript put end myHandler into line 3 of tmpScript set the script of stack Panels to tmpScript Any ideas?

Re: Settings Scripts from a Script in a Standalone
Jackie, Thanks for this insight! Two quickies if I may; where can I get a list of the code definitions returned by a try-catch and is there any way for me to get a list of handlers which are currently executing so I know not to try to update them while they're still running?
