Stack References When Fired in Backscripts/Libraries

I was (happily) surprised today when in a handler in a library that was put into use on init of the app that a handler in lib_initMyApp.livecodescript # now in the msg hierarchy on bakeBread pDaKin put the name of this stack end bakeBread Then in a top level binary stack name… e.g.

"System wide" ?? I tried a dozen different apps, include Apple's own Pages, Numbers and Notes etc. *none* of them respond to cmd-shift-T to make tabbed windows… the only "system-wide" is the Finder. Adding an Apple-Mac Only Finder feature to LC that OS X does not even implement this in it's

Quasi Student Secure Web Browser?

Hi All, I’m attempting to create a simple secure web browser iOS app for some teachers. I want to prevent any links within an approved site (i.e. “www.approvedsite.com") that link out to others sites from launching. For example, if the "www.approvedsite.com" has a link out to Youtube.com, I

Howdy Folks, If you tried to call me recently and didn't get through, it's fixed now! During a family emergency and death, I wasn't able to manage the settings for my phone number (the number that was listed on my web page) and it expired. There was also a technical problem with the first

Re: playing multiple audio files simultaneously

Using “wait” is generally not advisable… I just have a list of all players and then give them all a pause command or set their filenames to empty before playing the new audio. I saw some instability in LC 9 (crashing), so I’m sticking with 8 until those issues are worked out. pb On Mar 29,

Re: playing multiple audio files simultaneously

Thanks Peter - I'll look into 9.0 and see how it works. I can't imagine an improvement in 8.x is not retained in 9.x. To your point, I'm assuming you can't use: wait until sound() = "done" with messages in order to avoid playing sounds simultaneously. Right? On 3/29/2017 2:34 PM,

Re: playing multiple audio files simultaneously

Yes - 7.7.9. I re-installed Quicktime and got it working, playing sounds simultaneously, but I'm still somewhat apprehensive since Quicktime has been discontinued for so long now. Do you know of anything else Peter or are we pretty much resigned to Quicktime on the desktop for simultaneous

playing multiple audio files simultaneously

I've lo0oked into playing multiple audio files simultaneously, for Windows and Mac desktops, and come up with nothing but issues. Using a player object on my Windows 8.1 system, LC 7.1.1, I get an error of "could not open that video". Even if it worked I understand there are latency issues as

Actually, I really appreciate Adobe Illustrator's object properties dialog. Sometimes I LIKE being able to define an object's dimensions by typing in coordinates. CAD designers do this all the time. Of course, advanced features like snap to point make this mostly obsolete, but if you need a

Re: Line numbers for soft-wrapped styled text?

Alex, before you waste valuable time: The formattedRect can NOT be used in LC 7/8/9, because of the (2^15 div 2)-limit for coordinates is active for that. So the algorithm works in LC 6.7.11, but the results are sadly 'extremely' wrong in LC 7/8/9: Crossing the 'limit' with a vertical coordinate

Hello, LC 8.1.3: getting the specialFolderPath("resources") comes on Mac & Win without trailing slash. On Win I also don't get a trailing slash in a standalone. BUT in a MacOS 10.12 standalone I get a trailing slash! Is this a wanted "feature" which I have to script around, or is this a bug I
