This is essentially the same technique that Scott R. suggested. New is the MOVE-TO-SCROLL-FACTOR, in case you prefer that. ** The scroll respects here the group's relative to card's size. ** ** Thus scrolling becomes "parallel" to the mouseMove distances. ** For example if you move your

Re: How do I enable scrolling of a group ?

Not sure about touch specifically, but as long as the rect of the group's contents exceeds the rect of the group, the group should be scrollable. Or, set the unboundedVScroll of the group to true, but you'll have to impose some limits there. Quick and dirty script for single click/drag: local

How do I enable scrolling of a group ?

Specifically, I want a group to scroll in response to a two-fingered touch/swipe (on OSX). For a field, I can scroll it provided the field is enabled, even if the text is locked, But a group doesn't respond - even if enabled. I'm hoping there is some other property I need to set

Re: Programmatically determine the average greyscale

A good suggestion. You can achieve the same effect in LC without duplicate objects by adding a dropshadow effect to the text that has a size of 0, an angle of 45, and a distance of 2 or 3 (maybe higher, depending on the size of the text). Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media,

knowing when a browser page has loaded

In LiveCode 8, how can you tell when a browser page has fully loaded? I’ve tried browserDocumentCompleteFrame, browserDocumentComplete, and broswerFinishedLoading, none of them seem to fire. This is on Mac, so the last of those three probably shouldn’t work. Should the other two work?
