I am very embarrassed that I have asked people on this list to tweet for LiveCode to #Code2014. It seems as though somebody has arranged to have a vote for LiveCode to be re-tweeted by people who retweet promotions for all and sundry. If you, like me, had voted in good faith for LiveCode please

It probably works with a group because a group can persist even if there are not cards that the group is attached to. Therefore the object containing the handler that is deleting the card is not itself getting deleted because it belongs to a group that still exists after the card is deleted. The

Hi Craig. I do not think the list server is the problem. I’d need to see the detailed text of the bounce message before I could give you a decent idea of why it is bouncing. It should all be there in the body of the bounce, but it’s a bit cryptic. Bob S On Jan 1, 2015, at 08:41 , dunb...@aol

Re: [OT] Startup apps under Yosemite

2015-01-02 Thread Bob Sneidar
You can try hiding all the other processes set to launch at login except your kiosk app, and making sure that loads last. I cannot find on Yosemite where the *actual* finder app is. Otherwise I would suggest adding the finder before your Kiosk app and selecting the hide checkbox for the Finder.

That’s good, but you really should create a new set of stacks, copy over your code or rewrite it in the new stack, and see if you can reproduce the same results. Here, when I palette a stack from a name derived from a script local variable, the variable stays intact. I’m not using your exact s

Binary to Decimal Conversion

2015-01-02 Thread Bob Sneidar
Hi all. I thought for sure there was some formula one liner to convert a binary value to a decimal, but poking around on the internet, all I can find is an iteration method which adds the base power of each bit. Fir example, (1 * 2^0) + (1 * 2^1) = 3. Is this the only way or is there an actual

If you want to do it manually, then yeah, thats the way. (positional notation) If converting a binary number with a partial value, you have to work with 1/2 positions too. Theres also the doubling method (which I just came across). http://www.wikihow.com/Convert-from-Binary-to-Decimal Both metho
