Drag and Drop Images
>From a substack called "library" Where images are loaded one after another to a group, referenced by filename (to image data) on disk (not placed) to a mainstack called "Slideshow" with one Image per card Before I try and reinvent the wheel, does anyone have handlers or a stack which shows how to drag and drop images (not from desktop) but from one stack to another? This is for content development purposes, so the UIUX does not have to be "pretty".

I'm open to other things, but the mask needs to be a circle so a polygon is out, and backpattern won't work because of a bug/unsupported use (see the fine print in the Dictionary about the specific dimension requirements for backPattern, which turned out to be a problem for us). So inks it is. If it's possible now that the good inks are gone. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

I’m thinking that possibly there is a violated assumption as to what the other end is using within that, yes. Or that the other end makes an assumption, and puts the “wrong” type back in.

Re: Keyhole effect?
We had a discussion in 2018 about using a hex shaped grc to split up an image (started by Richmond). The key line there was: set the backPattern of grc "hex" to the ID of img "box" Since attachments and stacks were involved, I'm pretty sure it took place on the forums. I'm not sure if this will accomplish what you're looking for though. I can send a stack off list if you'd like to see it.

Keyhole effect?
Back in the day I could easily make a sort of keyhole effect, in which I used one graphic to obscure an image, and a second graphic on top as a mask to define a shape (such as a keyhole) through which I could see a portion of the image. It was done easily enough with inks. Inks that, it seems, we no longer have.

I build the code in the field by getting values from different objects on the card. In this particular case, I am getting the dgProp [“columns”] of a data grid.

iOS build error - help needed

Full thread here: https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=49=33887 Have you seen this error - and if yes - how did you manage to fix it? I am on Mojave, and cannot upgrade to Catalina yet.

Re: Problem simulating a location
Hi Graham, You should really try it on the phone before knocking yourself out about why it doesn’t work on the simulator. I have found that some things involving sensors simply don’t work on the simulator. Try that, if it doesn’t work on the phone let us know. Good luck!

Re: Problem simulating a location
Folks, I am still struggling with this. Alan Stenhouse has been kind enough to
help me, but so far I have not got the simulator to simulate any kind of
location information.
There is a function, mobileCurrentLocation, that is supposed to return an array
provided tracking is enabled and mobileSensorAvailable(“location”) has been
invoked (see the LC Dictionary). I have made sure that both these things have
been done, but In my tests on the simulator the array appears to be empty.
I suppose I can try the test on a real phone, but I would rather stick to the
simulator for now. And I haven’t found out how LC knows I’ve got a provisioning
profile (separate problem I admit).
Has anyone got any idea what’s going wrong?
Puzzled.
