Re: Capture the Trig Function from an Option Menu Button

Value forces LC to evaluate the expression. Also, you can do something like, "value("the name of me", card 1)". Only other thing I can think of is that "do" compiles a statement at runtime. That means if you have a LOT of do statements running in a loop, there may be a performance hit. Not sure

Re: Capture the Trig Function from an Option Menu Button

Thanks Dick. I hadn't thought about using the Value function. Interesting. Do you have any thoughts on the relative merits of Do vs. Value? I could also have used do "put " & tTrigFunction & "(" & tAngle & ") into y" And Roger, in my code the positive y axis is the usual screen y

ZLib DEFLATE

Hi all, I'm working on support in Quartam PDF Library for alpha-channels in PNG images. Has anyone figured out a pure-LiveCode implementation of the ZLib Deflate/Inflate algorithm? John Craig kindly offered a way to tweak the output of the compress function to match the ZLib deflate format. And

Re: Why Does "remove" Actually "delete"?

The dictionary shows remove group as the correct syntax. Background may be a synonym for group, I don't know. What I do know however, is that creating a group, naming it "bobtest", checking "behave like a background" and "shared group", placing the group on a second card, going to the first card

Why Does "remove" Actually "delete"?

I've been trying to figure out how to "place" a group by script. It took me a while to figure out that "place groupŠ" doesn't work, but instead "place backgroundŠ". Now when I execute "remove bkgnd xyz from this cd" the group ends up getting deleted from the stack, even though the group resides o
