I've almost never used the "breakpoint" command; it's too cumbersome (or I'm too lazy).
However, I've seen a pattern to reddot breakpoints being ignored. Once a script has run through with a reddot, on a subsequent run the reddot is ignored (unless the script is re-saved between executions). So, when I have worked on a particular piece of code, I disable/re-enable the reddot between executions (unless I've edited the code in between). It's tiresome, but less tiresome then using the "breakpoint" command. I think also that certain livecode formatting (e.g. if I remember correctly, one line "if-thens"), can cause mischief.

The red dots don't always work, but for me they do most of the time. _______________________________________________ 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
