best way to open a script-only library stack?

2018-09-17 Thread Curtis Ford via use-livecode
--When you start using a script-only stack, LC creates a temporary hidden --stack in RAM and assigns the script to it. It's there but not visible. Ah ha... now at least I don't feel silly for not finding it. And it is in the Project Browser too – I may have opened it from there once actually, a

I'm just getting started with the idea of a library stack for scripts, and have a dopey question: what's the best way to edit the library as I work on the project? I've created a script-only stack and included start using stack "myScriptStack.livecodescript" in the preOpenStack handler of my

2018-04-17 Thread Curtis Ford via use-livecode
The other day when firing up TextWrangler, I saw the message that Apple now shows once when opening a 32bit app – that it should be updated (for 64bit). Which got me thinking about older Livecode projects. A few years ago I did a series of modules for a client (using Livecode 7) that included

JaguarPC hasn't answered the question about dependencies directly, though they did pass on this: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory ..which suggests a dependency issue, I guess? But they've also said Correct, the initial error was due to using a 32bit compil

It's the 500 internal server error. I'm pretty - er, very new to troubleshooting on a server. I don't have SSH access. Is there a way to get a list of the dependencies of the 32bit and 64bit engines that I could forward to JaguarPC? I know someone else has the 32bit engine working on JaguarPC,

For several years I've had a system on JaguarPC involving a simple script that calls Livecode server, with script and server engine in the cgi-bin folder. Last weekend we were moved to 'sagitarius,' a 64bit server, and our system has broken. I tried uploading the 64bit version (from LiveCodeS

A client is reporting that whenever he moves to a new card in the LiveCode standalone, an additional videoWindow icon appears in his taskbar. "one video windows opens (and remains open) for each page I open. In other words, when I open the ebook, only the page I'm looking at is open. But as I

A while back I made a series of modules for a client in LiveCode 6 using players with Quicktime for sound files. In those projects, clicking the two right-hand buttons in the player 'nudged' the sound forward or backward. Holding the buttons down worked for fast-forwarding & rewinding. Now I'm
