How buggy is 7.0.1?

I’ve been kind of following “Can’t Move Backward" conversation, and I have to say that the app I’m working on seems to be fine in 7.0.1. I have generated standalones for both Mac and PC that run well and don’t crash. I have found the odd bug, but I really mean ‘odd’ (minus infinity is a number,

Re: How buggy is 7.0.1?

Graham, I've been using 7.0.1 for several months. I have an app with coupla thousand lines of code and about a dozen substacks. I have found it pretty good, rarely crashing unexpectedly. However, I do wish I'd stayed with the 6 series. I experienced one crash that comes and goes (only Allah and

Re: [beginner] x,y coordinates in LiveCode

Shawn: Do you need the "x,y" if all you are trying to do is find the locs of controls? Perhaps in the card script: on mouseWithin --or "mouseEnter"? put the name of the target && the loc of the target end mouseWithin But there are other ways as well, using the "within" operator with a "mous

You may notice by now the similarity between your suggestion and what I suggested. One slight difference is that I tested mine first, and discovered that mousewithin doesn’t work as a card script, at least not on its own. Reading the dictionary it seems that a mousewithin handler has to be insid

Colin. What did you mean by "testing"? I take it back. I had both a "mouseWithin" and a "mouseEnter" handler in the same script, just fooling around. When I comment out the "mouseEnter", the "mouseWithin" is not sent. And this is spelled out in the dictionary. Well what do you know? Craig

Using the code for my menu it looks good, but I can easily confuse LC by clicking fast, sometimes two buttons will move, other times three. Most of the time all four buttons will drop (correctly), but like I said, by clicking fast I can easily confuse LC. On Sat, Jan 10, 2015 at 2:02 PM, Shawn Bl

Is there any possibility there will be a 64-bit server version of 6.7.2, or is the 64-bitness for building iOS apps only? A 64-bit server version would be wonderful for Dreamhost users like myself (assuming it would run at speeds typical to 6.x, and not at 7.x speeds). Thanks - Phil Davis On

Hi Mark, Since DreamHost upgraded their servers to require 64-bit, I'm now using LC 7.0.1 64-bit in my DH accounts. It does work, but it adds *at least* a couple of seconds to every request's response time over the old 32-bit 6.x. Those speeds neutralize our LC server app bragging rights! But

Oh yep. No label for fields. (unless you create a label property for it of course) so putting the label of the field will put empty. Probably what you want is the text of the field. or just "put field "lbldate" On Sat, Jan 10, 2015 at 3:43 PM, Peter M. Brigham wrote: > On Jan 10, 2015, at 5:1
