Greetings,
Browsed the docs for this one but didn't find anything...
Is there a function that tells me if the text in an field has been
changed by the user? This is needed for a multi lined field that will
contain large amounts of text. So keeping a copy of the text in
Is there a function that tells me if the text in an field has been
changed by the user? This is needed for a multi lined field that will
contain large amounts of text. So keeping a copy of the text in another
field or variable may not be viable.
When you exit the field i.e. you click
You could also use the MD5digest function - it derives a number (128
bits) from a string, if the string (in this case the contents of a
field) changes, the md5digest of it also changes.

You probably just need to set the fileType before you write the file

Hi James,
When you clone a stack:
- The topLeft of the defaultStack is the point of reference for placing
the clone, *no matter which stack that may be*. I've had it be a palette
when I meant for it to be a regular stack. To avoid that, just set the
defaultStack immediately before cloning.
Thanks Sarah! That may be just what I was looking for :-)
