Folks,
I made a vertically oriented y axis text label for a data plot once. The text
was written in a field with a transparent background, then a screen capture of
the text field area, then rotating the captured image 90 degrees. It worked
great. Obvious limitation was that the background was in

Rather than thrashing around on this, I am asking for some general guidance.

I have posted a sample php file that I have used for a couple of years, that
uses aes-256 encryption for database operations. Data is encrypted in Livecode
and decrypted by the php script, which posts it to the mysql db. Perhaps it
will be of interest and I welcome any feedback.

This issue also confused me recently when I was making an app for my own use.

This alarms me.
In my app, I write a file to specialFolderpath(“desktop”).
What are the conditions to make this work on Apple or Windows standalones?

I thought that if you set up beta testers, with the id of the device an app
would be run on, others could run your app as a beta tester. But, perhaps,you
need an apple license to do even that?

Folks,
That sounds pretty interesting.
Wouldn’t that be doable by creating a splash stack the looked for a stack to
launch in its folder. That stack would be the app. But I don’t know if a
stand-alone compiled splash stack could call and run a raw xxx.livecode stack.
Can it?

I know, I don’t think I’m using the remote debugger. I’m building a standalone

Of course, that is the situation for libs, so I

Thank you, Andre, for you wisdom. What I take from your comments is if I want

Thanks for your perspective. Frankly, I don’t think it will be particularly
easy to make it an app either. I need to do a fair bit of code optimization and

In the meantime, the desktop version is coming along.
Thanks for the perspective, Jacque,
Hmm, it could be venturing into a swamp for me, tho. Given the popularity of
Chromebooks, it would be great if Livecode could be invested in support for
them. In my own case, I need to be cautious about where I spend my effort. I’m

Yes, I realize that. However, when I first created the button, on the source

displays the actual properties of the object.
