Hi Richmond You’ll want to use the optional threshold parameter for the intersect function. intersect(object,object [,threshold] ) Probably in your case either “pixels” or “opaque pixels”! From the Dictionary: Use the intersect function to determine whether one object obscures part of

FWIW, I've never heard Dr. Raney refer to himself as such. Given his personality, I doubt he's at all invested in the title. I use it when referring to him only to annoy him as payback for the many arguments we've had about engine syntax. He's almost always been right in the end, which has

Interesting discussion for a livecode list, but it can't resist jumping in. I think the issue of titles is very cultural. In the US, titles are much less important than they are in English society, for example (at least from my extensive knowledge gained by watching Downton Abbey). After I got

Thanks for catching that bug. It is now fixed in 25. As far as the search, have you tried the filter option? It may not be as obvious as it should be. When you check the filter button, the selection tree turns into a filterable list of handler name and topics. You then have a character

I started calling him Dr Raney after you did, which was right after he deleted his email address due to excessive spam and started a new one that used his first name. I thought that was why you never put his name in print and I wanted to be equally considerate. His public statement about the

You could handle (some) larger combinatorials (and speed up the code) by modifying like so: function __factorialFloor x,f if x = f then return 1 return x * __factorialFloor(x-1,f) end __factorialFloor function __nCombFloor n, r if (r 0) or (r = n) then \ return

firing mouseEnter msg of an Image control which was painted

2015-02-01 Thread Bernard Devlin
Hi all, If I drag an image object to a card, mouseEnter is triggered when the mouse enters that image control's border (no actual image filename has been specified, so the image is blank - although strangely the imageData of such a blank image is not itself empty). If I then use the paint tools

Bernard. To hell with the Superbowl. This is important. Confirmed. The paint inside an image is the only object that triggers messages. The enclosing image becomes invisible. Worse, if you erase all the paint, the image remains recalcitrant. It has been spoiled. One might say it stinks.

I couldn't resist. __nCombFactors is slower than __nCombFloor, although faster than the original function (slightly, in my testing), but it offers the advantage that any result that is within the number limits of LC will be returned correctly, regardless of how large the intermediate values would

A few ideas, none of which may work for your situation: - Fill the image with the same background color as your card, so the image only *appears* to be transparent when not “painted. - Place an opaque graphic (could have its blendLevel set to 100) directly behind the image and do your
