Re: blur a background

Hi Chris, Here's a trick I used a while back: make a snapshot of the card, then scale the image down, then scale it up again. Simple recipe to try it out: - create a new stack and drag random controls onto it - drag on a button and set its script to ## constant kBlurFactor = 2 on mouseUp    loca

Re: spitting nails at the IDE

how about not being able to undo deleting an object? This happens when you think you are in e script editor and hit the del button, but, for whatever reason, the IDE has the focus instead, and the del hits the button that you selected to edit the script to begin with. It's especially painful when

Re: "The Database File Is Locked" sqlite

Hi Mike, Can happen if you issue a BEGIN without a corresponding COMMIT or ROLLBACK, then issue another BEGIN. Also, if by some chance you're using an admin tool that has the db locked for some reason. I've never used an sqlite db over a network connection but I've read that locks don;t work very

I am so frustrated with the bugs in the IDE, and the other alpha-minus pieces, that if I had a another straightforward way to code the cross-platform interface that I'd do it. This just isn't good for my blood pressure (which is normally superb). The breakpoints that oly break if they feel like i

Hi CHris, Import a snapshot of the card. Set the blendLevel of the new image control to 50 and move the image control 3 or 4 pixels to the top-left. You can easily to this by script. You don't need to use static picture for this. You can do this dynamically, to make correspond to the current s

Hmm. Except I'm not really working with images. At least, I'm trying to avoid that if possible. Maybe I should have explained a little better. I've got a stack that will eventually be a mobile app. I have to toggle a screen overlay of sorts that will present to the user only certain words to tap

Is there any way in LC to set a graphic effect such that everything behind is blurred, much like we see in mobile apps? I need to do something like this and am not sure how. If it's not possible, can something be done to an image to create this effect, and then have that image imported into an L
