+1 The whole point, or one of the points to object oriented development was to de-centralize the code base. As stated in other posts it really comes down to how complex your app is. I have cards that can be used in any stack, and cards that are very specific to the app. Same with different

@ trevor: OK, understood. In fact we are doing a similar/ almost same thing though calling it "SivaSiva.json" which is read on start up, re the stack files for the components: interesting… We have been adding *all* behaviors for all modules in the main stack, since many of these are reused

I personally don't like everything in one file. I conceptualize things better if I can think of them as being separate. When I'm building interfaces, I could lay everything out on one card and use groups to show/hide the relevant controls, but in my head they're all still there. In interfaces

Ali, thanks for chiming in… in the current app we stayed away from any resizing, the Design passed down from our team which has years of experience in print graphics (but zero in digital UX/UI) would have been a challenge to get responsive. It could be done of course, anything can be done in

On the subject of building UI from script, I generally think it boils down to whether you already have a good resizeStack handler implemented. If you do, you've done all the hard work already - you can just create all the objects with their required properties before the card opens and delete

Trevor, thanks for that intro to the new tools in LC9 I'm already using libraries and behaviors extensively, but still find my self build LC stack binaries with a full stack script or, quite often, 95% of the code in the card script (if the UI can all be done on a single card) The other day

Thank you Trevor - a really nice video! I’ve been using script-only stacks for a while for code libraries, never realised how easy it was to use them to effectively make ‘script-only behaviors’ :) Kind regards Dave ___ use-livecode mailing list

Converting scripts in stacks to script only stack behaviors

2017-02-04 Thread Trevor DeVore via use-livecode
I created a screencast showing how you can convert the scripts in your stacks to script only behavior stacks using a new Property Inspector feature in LiveCode 9 (still in early development). Storing your code in script only stacks allows you to manage your application with source control software
