Hi Mark, I Beg to Differ about Next Repeat. "It's not wat you do it's the way that you do it" comes to mind Someone who writes spaghetti code can do it very well in any language but its much more difficult without the structure brought in by the Algol/Pascal/Modula. I have not used a Goto

Drag Queen

I am in trouble because I cannot work out why this is not working: on scrollbarDrag NVAL put "NVAL,0,0" into KARRAY["color"] put 50 into KARRAY["opacity"] set the coloroverlay of img "BB" to KARRAY end scrollbarDrag Richmond. ___ use-livecode

Re: JPNG

@Mark *** Thanks for your expertise. I couldn't do that this perfectly. *** One of the reasons for posting this JPNG stack is to show the power of LC: The essential code of compressing PNG -> JPNG and decompresing PNG -> JPNG is both less than 10 *essential* lines of code, using comfortable LC

This explains - thanks! So I need to compare performance between the android and iOS devices to get a valid comparison. The group has 20 small images. I will turn them into large images to increase the demand on pixel processing. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 11, 2017, at 5:37 AM, Mark

Re: Mobile LC Apps Downloading Stacks After installation

Thank you, Mark. This was a great explanation. I know the reviewers at app stores are not always careful, but something like an LC player would surely get their notice. They do allow us to import JS, but JS is way more sandboxed than LC. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 11, 2017, at 3:55 AM,

Re: Mobile LC Apps Downloading Stacks After installation

Okay so the thread from which this post came has some glaringly large and obvious incorrect statements in it so I think it wise I correct them. First of all being able to submit apps to the App Stores which exist today is critically important to our ecosystem - those App Stores come with

In theory that sounds both impressive and useful . . . But, what, apart from your stack can read the format/compression method properly. Also, for the sake of argument: LiveCode can export images in the .PNG, .JPG, .GIF and the (horribly obscure ?) .PBM formats. Can your stack export a
