Native Scroller Problem in LC 8

I have a stack that scrolls groups on a card… If this stack is opened with LC 7.1.4 then there is no problem at all. The scroller scrolls within its rect as it should… If however the stack is opened with LC 8.0 then the content does not scroll within the rect of the scroller, but bursts out

As far as I can tell, MobGUI is working in 6.6.2, but not in anything more recent. It wasn’t working for me in 7.1.3. But then that means you’ve done something to make it work for 7.1.3, so maybe someone can get it to work in 8? ___ use-livecode

Widgets for animation - any advantages?

I've been looking at widgets. One advantage is the ability to do splines and paths. I'm wandering about the sort of things that will be faster if we code it in a widget, than if we use Livescript. For instance what about raster images - voting them painting areas of the canvas? Is that possible?

Yes if the object is already in a group you cannot relayer this way. You must first ungroup, set the layer then regroup. Thankfully, the group recreates itself as it was before you ungrouped it. Nice touch from a long time ago. Bob S > On May 24, 2016, at 20:26 , Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami
