I’ve spent some time yesterday working on an open source Livecode library for the Zoom API. I’m hoping a few of us could start collaborating on that as an outcome of the Zoom today? Will try to get that on Github by the meeting. It’s a script only stack. Anyone else working with API’s and

Hi Monte, thanks for your answers. I also checked on stackOverflow, it seems more people have trouble with it, to simplify the names for it's users. The names also differ per country/language it seems. Probably there will some kind of logic, but we don't see it yet. I have no a recipe

Thank you Ralph. I noticed that the Language on the Android system must be set to use the correct language. Else you get funny/strange results. I only have Dutch and English set. And when i set either of them on the first top place in system then my app talks correct. So to me it's also

Hi All - sorry this is a bit long, but I need help. I’m a long term LC developer who more or less retired from development a couple of years ago, but I’ve kept on lurking in this list and trying rather hopelessly to remain up to date. My experience has been mostly on desktop apps, with a

Re: Our first Community Zoom Session

Folks, I could see a Zoom feature that supports an online class. One pedagogical approach would be for a teacher to present a short overview of a subject, students are put into small video chat groups of 3 or 4 to work out an answer, then they present it to the class as a whole. There are many

Re: Script Only Stack Properties

True, but with properties, I can envision a use case for persistent values between sessions. This is quite separate from GUI objects. By saving and reloading properties of a script only stack, everything is still text file only based. Bob S On Apr 4, 2020, at 11:17 AM, Richard Gaskin via

Re: Script Only Stack Properties

When a script only stack is opened, LC creates a temporary stack and plops the script into it. At that point its just like any other library stack. You could add images, controls, other scripts, custom props, anything. The only difference is that when the stack closes, the text of the stack

Hi all. I just discovered an interesting aspect of script only stacks. They CAN have Custom Properties… but ONLY while in memory! Once closed, the properties disappear. Seems like a slight mod would be able to save these properties as a separate file so that they can remain persistent.
