I’m really loving the widgets and new version 8. However, the first thing I did was make a new stack and fiddle with the widgets. Then, when I tried to close and remove the stack from memory from the file menu, it gave me the “really?” dialog, but didn’t remove the stack. It still showed. So, s

Correction. The web calculator had a maximum which I exceeded. The binary equivalent of 1E40 is 111010110001100101001000111110101110010100101. That is 133 bits. That far exceeds the limits of Livecode. Bob

Re: Why aren't large numbers limited to 64 bit values?

Because the binary equivalent of a 40 digit decimal number is NOT 40 bits. It is many more bits. For example the binary equivalent of 1 (17 digits) is 1010101 (27 digits). You are thinking of each decimal digit as a binary bit. Bob S > On Dec 10, 2015, at

You can get the keys of an array and sort them before accessing them. The array itself cannot be sorted, and there would be no benefit to doing so that I can see. Bob S On Dec 9, 2015, at 07:56 , Mike Bonner mailto:bonnm...@gmail.com>> wrote: I was just thinking how useful sort could be to f

Yes but with a caveat. Since Livecode is a single threaded process, if any activity is going on like your own scripts running, the animated GIF will pause until Livecode is idle. This makes animated GIFs a bad choice for progress indicators. Bob S On Dec 9, 2015, at 14:07 , William Prothero
