Thanks for looking into this with me! The way you (Jim) appear to take what I
did and turn it around in a fraction of the lines is amazing! Someday I want to
be able to do that :-)
Jacqueline is correct. The fields make up a mixed up paragraph. I have it

And setting the numberformat property, which I thought might force the value x
to show decimals, does not. That number is indeed always an integer. It does
force the "x+1 value to display according to the format, useless as that is.
Here is one for you. Set the numberFormat to "0.0". No

Hi All,
It's nice to read discussions about features that
enhance this platform, but now I have one doubt:
How many developers (who use Livecode) want
to see this platform converted in a game engine?

Thanks for the additional info Richard!!

Okay, I think I completely understand where the disconnect lies - and it's with
my understanding of the LC internals. I put together a very simple stack that's
nothing more than a field "Test" and a button. The button script looks like
this:

I dissevered this the hard way.
Put this into the script of a scrollbar:

put the thumbposition of me into x
put x into field 1
put x*1 into field 2

You will find that field 1 gets the round(x) while field 2 gets the decimal

I think we're talking apples and oranges. As I said, the difference between
yield() and wait 0 ticks is that one supports two (or more) pieces of code
running in parallel (not simultaneously) with state, and the other doesn't.
