Re: Import as image as control. Where is it?

if the filename property is empty, store the text of the image to a property or variable, pop in your new image, then to revert, set the text of image whatever to the text you stored in the property. If there IS a filename set, and you want to do the flippy floppy, store the filename instead, and

Re: When is a stack "dirty"?

Thanks for the info Mark. That probably explains what is happening in my case because the substack I delete is not open at the time I delete it. What I'm thinking of doing is setting the gRevStackStatus element for the main stack of the deleted substack in my script which sounds like it should re

Re: Database error?

Let me add this too. In Cpanel when you create a database, you're asked to 1) create a database, 2) create a username and password for that database, and 3) assign a username to that database. This isn't necessarily the same as your Cpanel login, but can be if that's how you create your database.

Hi Pete, The variable gRevStackStatus["Short name of a stack"] is set to true whenever a control moves or changes as the result of user input. Messages triggering an update or gRevStackStatus are openField and focusIn for example. I think that moveControl and resizeControl are monitored too.

Couldn't the engine let the IDE know that a stack needs to be saved? I can't think of any other program I use where it's my responsibility to ensure I save any changes I make. It really makes LC look outdated. I think there's a global property in the IDE that indicates whether a stack needs savi

To clarify just a little bit further. The code and objects weren't holding onto memory, the variables used in that code were due to weird scoping. Big chunks of db results, etc that persist after I've already done my business with them and tried to move on. If I can recommend a book on Javascript,
