Hi Bill,
If you wouldn't mind... I would love to see some of those PHP scripts... I've
always used MySQL locally but I was thinking of branching out to use it on the
web. I have a Founders account but never really use the MySQL from there... I
never did like the (lack of) security.
Thanks
Pau
Tom:
I use Navicat to manage my databases. It will access a variety of online
databases, and works with SQLite too. I use it all the time.
In my app work, I use livecode with POST commands to php that talks to an
online mySQL database. PHP is totally robust and won’t fail on you, and it’s

Is it possible to customize the appearance of the status bar, i.e. making
it transparent, so we can make the overall stack appearance look more like
the current Android OS?

I think Richmond should look at some of the text routines in the

Thankfully, hardware convergence is finally coming. If the latest

Hi Tom,
SQLite should do what you need but a few notes for you.
SQLite doesn't have an array datatype. The usual way of handling this type
of data in any SQL database is to store each key and value of the array in
a separate table that is linked to your main table by an id of some sort
that would
It sounds like you might want to look at the styledtext. Its a bit
convoluted, but once you get it figured out, it should be very fast.
Pseudo code for this would be..
put the text of the field into a variable.
repeat for each line (paragraph) and build up an array of "runs" with
descriptive text
Yet another approach:
put "this is the only one" into fld 1
put empty into s1
put empty into e1
get MatchChunk (line 1of fld 1,"(?i).+(only).+",s1,e1)
-- the regexp capture returns the start and end characters the match
set the textcolor of char s1 to e1 of line 1 of fld 1 to r

The thing that emerges from my question is that to colour a word or
phrase programmatically
in a textField is a fiddly business and it would be nice (??) if a
simpler way to do this were introduced.
This works very well:

Richmond.
I see, you wanted to use the literal word as a chunk expression. But you surely
know this is not valid in LC, and will have to use the wordOffset or something
similar so you can get an actual valid chunk.

I want to add a content library module to a LiveCode-built project. It will

It is also irritating when the assumption is always that so many features

Hi Roger,
It’s simply no way to achieve 100% of cross platform ability as long as some

this fact and, again, instead of limiting the cross pla
