Keyboard shortcuts in LC 8

What happened to the keyboard accessibility? No contextual menus, no way to option-cmd-click an object to open the script. No keyboard shortcuts to open card or stack scripts. I rely on those constantly. I am trying LC 8 again after an initial trial several versions ago where it wasn't useable

Re: When is a GIF Finished Playing?

I had to manage gif playback manually once. It worked well to just set the currentframe repeatedly, ignoring auto-playback entirely. That way you can keep track of how many cycles you've done and you can control the speed of playback by changing the "send in time" frequency. You always know wha

Re: No audio playback on iOS devices

Does it work if you use specialFolderPath("resources") instead of "engine"? Apple changed the rules for bundle structure and LC tries to redirect older paths to the resources folder, but maybe that's not working in this case. On February 11, 2016 11:20:52 AM Devin Asay wrote:. I ran a chec

I like that idea. You can do the same thing in one go by applying a shadow graphic effect to text in a transparent field. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On February 20, 2016 5:27:09 PM Tim Selan
