CRASH after entering "put the hostnametoaddress" into MSG

Hi friends, I entered the above mentioned WRONG syntax into the message box of LC 9 and LC silently crashes without notice!? On my Mac. Just like with the HyperCard stacks yesterday. No problem in LC 8.1.10 and 5.02, where I get "Compilation error..." Anyone seen this? Could you please try this

Hi all, The first thing that came to my mind was the bug report that Paul referenced, but I had a look at the Samsung S5 specs and it seems it has an ARM chip, so it should not be affected by this bug. @Jacque does that happen with any android standalone you build with LC 9.0.0, or just this

UTF8 on LC server

Hi, In LC, if I have a field or variable in Japanese (double-byte) and get, say, the 5th character, it returns the correct double-byte character. But on LC server (on-rev hosting) "character" commands get single bytes, breaking the Japanese character turning it into gibberish. Is there any

This reminds me I was looking at this stuff the other day and it’s really not a big job to add a pixelData property that is ARGB instead of the xRGB we have for imageData which would reduce the data you are dealing with if you want to set the alpha at the same time. Good community contribution
