Hi David
This rings a distant bell... not sure, but can you try
set the filename of me to empty
and then
set the filename of me to audioFile
to see if that makes a difference?
HTH, cheers

Thanks Bob. These examples are all very handy to have. Added to the wiki!! Just

That's what I usually do. If the variables or references may change, I use placeholders and the

Thanks Brian - that works. I can remove the indent created by the now empty
first column by using:
set the separatorRatio of widget to 0
However there is still a separator line and if I:
set the showSeparator to false
Then the indent returns. But it mostly looks OK.

Thanks. But yes tsnet was initialized.

In terminal, this works:
python -c "print('hello world')"
In LiveCode, this:
*put* shell("python -c " & quote & "print('hello world')" & quote)
puts this:
/bin/sh: line 1: python: command not found
while this:
*put* shell("pwd")
puts this:
/Applications/LiveCode 9.6.9.app
So any idea why
So in the instances where you have a script that creates an object and
then sets the script of that object (example below), what is you best
practice for having the script in a script and still be readable?
Example:

create button "Sample"

While I don’t know if a way to hide the key, there is a way to get a manual

charsToTrimFromKey property.

It is a known bug that the player object freezes or crashes when petting
