Re: Bugs in 8.0.0 RC1 and trying to convince a colleague that LC is *not* flaky

I must be stupid, but this makes no sense to me at all: "Open the script editor and search for some text that doesn't exist" The thing that surprised me was when, on opening the script editor for a button LiveCode (err . . . RunRev) went from nothing to "on mouseUp". And the fact that a

Re: Playing sound files

No, callbacks are still alive and well in AV Foundation. I’m seeing that adding a parameter to a callback list isn’t working now. Parameters weren’t in the dictionary pre-LC6.7 but seemed to work. Issues with QT—things used to work better; it seems that as new versions of OS X are released,

Re: List Field Not receiving Mouse messages unless a line is clicked?

For this use case, there are 4 list fields that want to retain their hilited lines as the user traverses through them and 2 that do not… So it was easy enough to just do this On mouseleave Set the hilited lines of me to none End mouseLeave For those two fields. And this is even better since

Re: Bugs in 8.0.0 RC1 and trying to convince a colleague that LC is *not* flaky

Better to move on to a guy named Jeff and get him to try Livecode. My experience is, if someone is looking for ways not to do something, you will never get them to try. Bob S On Apr 13, 2016, at 15:18 , RunRevPlanet > wrote: Steve, (a

So is it then a "non-feature" instead of a bug? Craig -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/List-Field-Not-receiving-Mouse-messages-unless-a-line-is-clicked-tp4703852p4703857.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: List Field Not receiving Mouse messages unless a line is clicked?

I also consider this a bug, but it has always been like in Revolution/MetaCard. You may solve this problem by using mouseDown messages or by setting the lockText to true. This isn't always a good solution, but it is worth a try. I think it is like this because list fields normally should

Re: List Field Not receiving Mouse messages unless a line is clicked?

Confirmed here, and there is nothing in the v6 dictionary that indicates that the click must occur on a non-empty line to fire the messages. This is a bug, not a feature, since it is easy to determine if a line is empty if there is a message sent, and act accordingly, but difficult to do so if

List Field Not receiving Mouse messages unless a line is clicked?

I was trying to find a way to force a list field to unhilite it’s line. The instinctive behavior would be to just click away from any lines below the list and then any hilited line in the list would be unhilited. But my handler doesn’t fire if I click anywhere in the field that is not on a

Re: recording sound

Thank you Phil for this smart "turn-around". I so wish audio would be "straightened up" in livecode! Amazing for a language in the heritage of hyper talk! Additionnaly, I wanted to have a clue :: do other user manage to record any audio with v7 on later osx than 10.7? Does it work on 10.8.. 9..

This is slight variation of Craig's solution. It works if you want to delete all local variables declared outside of handlers. (it's used inside libUrl) on ulDeleteLocals local e repeat for each item e in line 3 of the localNames get "delete" && "local" && e do it end repeat end
