Yes, I did get to the end with a few glitches. See the second part of my bug report, ignoring the last point, which was just due to my ignorance that an unadorned comma between two strings acts like the string & “,” & Anyway the report is at http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17830

Just to let anyone interested know, the BMI example works a LOT better on LC 8.0.2 rc-1. There are still a few glitches, and I still had to press ‘fast forward’ once. But I did complete the example. It leaves me with many questions about widgets and what seems to me new syntax, and indeed how to

OK, I added a text file to 17812 describing my experiences. I heartily endorse the idea of a ‘back’ button! My narrative had to end when LC 8.0.1 refused to open any more property inspectors - no idea why. I also had to use the ‘fast forward’ button once, just go get some progress. It really doe

Yeah, I forgot that. You actually have to go into custom colors to set the rgb values, but it would be clear as mud to someone who has never done it before. Definitely add to it.. If the tutorial tools can be fleshed out and made easier, and more complete (hopefully with full storyboarding?) it w

Well done Mike for getting your report in so quickly. I intend to add to it with a narrative of what I saw (on an iMac with Yosemite 10.10.5 running LC 8.0.1). I hope that Peter is right and that it’s all one problem, although there are other niggles than the guidance system - for example, when

If you are having issues with the tutorial it would help a lot if you could say: 1) What platform you're on 2) What stage of the tutorial you got to before it got stuck 3) How you're stuck specifically - Does the instruction window not appear at all? - Is the instruction window hidden behind an

Thanks - doesn’t always work for me. The thing has actually got into a loop now… telling me to edit some script but not apparently letting me do it. I’m tired of this. I REALLY want to understand LC8 and my next step was to see if I could adapt an old desktop app of mine to HTML5, but right now

The secret for me (which shouldn't be necessary) is to drag whatever control/palette/whatever is being referred to by the tutorial and it forces a redraw of the tutorial part itself, at which point I can get to the next step. On Tue, Jun 7, 2016 at 9:37 AM, Graham Samuel wrote: > Hmm - looks lik

Hmm - looks like confirmation that the example (well the guidance really) is not robust. Since writing my email I did get a bit further by what amounts to a process of random clicks, but now I’ve reached “resize and position the graphic as shown” when nothing IS shown, so stuck again… very frust

I’m still trying to get a handle on LC8, and I now have LC 8.0.1 on my Mac, which AFAIK is the latest stable release. But I still can’t get the BMI Calculator example to work all the way through - the guidance has abandoned me at the first field, and the ‘fast forward’ arrow doesn’t do anything.
