Livecode is a program for creating programs.
MacPaint is a program for creating images that as far as I know ran on 68K
macs. Not sure it ever ran on PPC Macs. Not sure if MacPaint images can import
into Livecode.
Asking if MacPaint works in LC doesn’t make sense to me.

The following works tested here on desktop, should work everywhere where the
browser widget works.
1. Overlay browser widget "browser" with a browser widget "loader" (that
displays a loading animation).
2. Load the slow loading url into widget "browser".
3. Hide widget "loader" by browserDocumen

Hi Keith,
seems that you have overlooked that your library
handler is not a function, see line
put somehandler() into gData["testlib"]
in your controller.
Furthermore don’t forget to adjust the name of your library
initialisation handler to “rigRunInitialteslibConfig”.

Porting/opening Hypercard stacks is a convenience. The primary issue is that
Hypercard was optimized to index every text of every card in a stack to make
finding information easier. New records? New cards.

Hi Keith,
if you change the name of your library to Testlib.lc

all should work as expected.
There is a naming convention for library files, i.e.
