Re: somehow OT, but somehow not - no price information

Yikes, I agree this is really not a good turn. I usually see this stuff on stuff marketed to high end firms where price is not much of a factor. Having been an evangelist for Livecode thru all its evolution all the way back to MetaCard days (over three decades), I’m afraid I will not be

Re: disabled buttons still receive events, they just process them, later?

Oh man yes Jacque and Mike! I do feel old, about the same for me, about late 87… grad school at Berkeley, humpback whales, and carrying Macs in big backpacks. Later MetaCard saved the day! Fun memories, Jeff > On Feb 22, 2024, at 1:51 AM, use-livecode-requ...@lists.runrev.com wrote: > >

Re: Sad news about Brahmanathaswami

Very sorry to hear about this. His enthusiasm over many years on this list was wonderful (I seem to remember he may have been around all the way back in the MetaCard days) and his positive attitude to challenges was a great example as so many let their frustrations with a challenge turn to

Richmond, And I’ll be right there with Richard. Just because it’s not being supported does not remove copyrights. You know that’s a stupid argument. Maybe fine with your own morals but it’s not how copyright works. As a content creator for over 4 decades of my professional life I really hate

Re: Reviving CD-ROM material [was: Re: Livecode and interactive video]

Graham, Having created a bunch of commercial interactive cdroms back in those days of early commercial interactivity, I can say they can be a challenge to mine all the necessary content from them and determine the whole flow chart of content and interactivity. I did this a few times on my own

LC team, I too so appreciate all the work the LC team has done over the years and continues to do. I’ve used probably a dozen different commercial coding systems over the decades and LC thru all it’s incarnations back to good old MetaCard with Scott was the one that provided the needed
