Thanks Andy, you’re right, that a good explanation. I’m also seeing Richards discussion of encoded arrays: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user/176711 I tried base64/compressed/encoding as he suggests with a “.txt” suffix and that seems to work. It seems it won’t work at all

Hi Al, this was way back in 2005. More than a decade ago (omg I am old). It was a contest held in chatrev. Make something cool within the starter kit limits (10 lines of code). I am afraid I lost all copies of it. I remember I spent more time in Photoshop to create the font, then I spent in

Interesting. If merge is indeed thwarting normal error handling then that may be related. I just filed a report on this: http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18457 I added a second test in which the merge call is within a try block, with even weirder results than the first exercise (se

Using LC 8.1.0 on Mac OS 10. Selecting the checkbox for DataGrid in the "Standalone Application Settings - Inclusions" seems to disable DataGrids while unchecking DataGrid allows them to function as expected in an iOS app (both simulator and device).

Should merge suppress errors

Try this: on mouseUp put "This is [[ foo() ]] a test" into s put merge(s) put foo() end mouseUp function foo return 1 + "string" end foo Observed result: "This is a test" appears in the Message Box Expected result: LC would throw an error in the foo function. Now comment out the line

@BR I adjusted your function a litte bit (and it works now here). There is a new parameter for testing the upper/lower half of the image (this param = empty tests the full image). The mouseUp is my suggestion for a first testing. On base of these two values you could develop a decision rule for a
