Stack files on Mobile How to open an external Behavior Stack

2016-07-05 Thread Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami
We've been around this barn before. 1) create an external script only stack. e.g. mobileControls.livecode 2) set that as behavior for other stacks 3) add to stack files 4) go stack "movileControls.livecode" when starting the app. # dictionary says it will be found if it is in the stackfiles

Silly question, but.. you said the fping command is in the same folder as the standalone, yet you're referencing it with c:\... IS the standalone really in the root of c? Also, start will open a new console window but you're hiding it. For test purposes, don't hide the window, maybe you'll get

If you assign a name to the native control, mobileControlTarget() returns it instead of the number. It's a handy way to match up native controls to their LC counterparts without keeping a reference list. Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software
