Problem naming groups with integers

Hi All, I have a list where I name the groups shown with integers (i.e. the id of the record in the db). When I inspect the group, it shows as: group 11957, id 459899 It seems that LC has a problem with finding those groups. When I try to set a property or object contained in the group, I get

Re: Problem naming groups with integers

You shouldn't use integers as names because LC thinks you're referring the number of the group. Use a letter prefix or similar, but don't start the name with a number. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX Design On Apr 19, 2014, at 12:34 PM, Stephen MacLean

Re: Problem naming groups with integers

Thanks Scott! So, even though I'm enclosing it in quotes, LC still thinks that? Strange behavior, since it's a string and not a number, but I can deal with it. Change already made:) Best, Steve On Apr 19, 2014, at 3:51 PM, Scott Rossi sc...@tactilemedia.com wrote: You shouldn't use

Re: Problem naming groups with integers

IMO, using numbers as names is just something to avoid in LC. As you've found, names that are only numbers will cause problems. Better/safer to adopt a different naming convention. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX Design On Apr 19, 2014, at 12:57 PM, Stephen MacLean

Re: Problem naming groups with integers

Yeah, in LiveCode values that even look like numbers (that is, are numerals, strings) or should be numbers (the result of arithmetic) are all treated like numbers and like strings. (It is possible to tell the result of arithmetic from a string, but essentially, numbers and numerals are all the

Is anyone aware of any reference material that discusses strategies for architecting your application with the livecode components and their implications with the standalone builder. As an example, I think that most people understand the basic concept of building a splash screen as the main

Good idea! The stack and the website are old. I need to bring those up to date. The before and after handlers are good things to add to the message path animation. We might see the ball bouncing all over the place. I think Richard has a tutorial or similar on the message path, too, and he
