I'm very happy to announce that the first person has put some funding into this
external. After some discussions I have decided to offer 50% discount on the
external (or 20% on the iOS suite) if the funding is $10 or more. Let's make
this happen.

games these days. Am hoping other folks get on board too.

First and foremost, welcome to LiveCode and to this list. It is

If you use a menu stack instead, then you can trap mouseEnter and mouseLeave

It took seven months to write the book, if I had been asked to write extra

Dot syntax has been talked about in the past, and don't forget that it's not

And that is how it should be... as you say, you have lots of choice elsewhere

If explicitVariables is turned on, the compiler requires quotes around visual
effects. That's the only reason I've been using them. I haven't normally done
so in the past either, but I decided to use explicitVars in this latest project

Just FYI. :-)

You can protect stacks with a password, as Ralph suggested.
Basically you can't prevent anyone from opening your stack in the IDE and
