Hi,
Messing with a LC script in a web page, writing a variable to a text
file on my on-rev server account.
The dictionary says the postmyData
toURLhttp://www.example.net/indications.cgi; should work, but it
doesn't. I get an 404 error.
I am trying to save a variable's text contents by
Given the long id of a control - how do I extract the reference to the
stack ti belongs to? I have a function that i have used since the dawn of
time for this - but I recall seeing a new chunk / target / reference
feature of Livecode in the last year that makes this easier. Did I imagine
it?
You need to set up a script to catch the data, and you need to send the
data using a key=data type format.
So for example if you're sending a book chapter to your server, and the
text of the chapter is in variable tChapter
post (chapter1= urlencode(tChapter)) to URL
Interesting. I wonder if there is a property that gives this directly.
But I suppose you can always find the owner of the control, and if that is a
group (or a series of groups, continue until you find an owner with the word
stack in it.

Here's a quick solution:
function ownerStack pObjLongID
replace of with numtochar(8) in pObjLongID
set the itemdel to numtochar(8)
return item -1 of pObjLongID
end ownerStack
A more general solution is what I use in my library. The getItem() function is
so useful that I use it
There was a recent feature added to the language that would help - maybe it
was something to do with the owner
I have a similarly convoluted function and getprop - one of the issues is
that if you want the long name of the stack the control is part of - this
could be a mainstack or a substack

The key here is the “if” - which creates a conditional clause - which requires
the past plural of the verb (in this case “were”). This is similar to the
“wenn clause in German (Deutsch) and the “ut” clause in Latin.
If I were able, I’d thank you in person for mentioning this.

“was returned” (singular, past tense, passive) is correct (although a simple

The specialFolderPath() has many more options. I later versions (post 5.5?)
there are 2 short cuts also. These folders are common for both mobile

To do it with this method, the traversal of the field needs to be off.

Are you asking if there is a way to make the scroll of a field track the
