Re: Bugs in 8.0.0 RC1 and trying to convince a colleague that LC is *not* flaky

Well, I'm not going to show anything like 8.0.0 to "Steve": I'll either show him the latest of the 7 series or wait until about 8.1. As far as I can see "8" is so radically different to "7" that expecting 8.0.0 to be stable is extremely unwise. There are 2 schools of thought: 1. Too much too

Re: US government tells Windows users to uninstall QuickTime

This is amazing: not what the US government is telling people to do, but that people are so "sheepy" in doing so. The simple fact is that all versions of Windows are 'compromised' in terms of internet security unless one takes a considerable amount of trouble to harden one's system. If one does

Presumably "monthly" is a slip of the keyboard for "smoothly", although it did entertain me. Richmond. On 22.04.2016 21:37, Colin Holgate wrote: This has the advantage of smooth dragging, but the disadvantage of less smooth animation: local p on mouseDown put 1 into p grab me do animashun

Re: Being silly with penguins

At this point it would be marvellous if somebody could chime in with a fairly sensible explanation of the role of "*without waiting*" and whether is would *declunk* the mismatch-thing that seems to be going on between *dragging* and *animating*. Certainly, *Director* (at least in 1999) did not

Re: Being silly with penguins

continues independently. If your original handler uses "move" then adding "without waiting" might help. I wonder if Colin's animation would work acceptably if the "wait 1" was changed to "wait 1 millisecond" though. On 4/22/2016 2:33 PM, RM wrote

arrowKey 'up' and 'down'

Of course my next problem is how, when a punter presses the arrowKey to have it "fire" only once: i.e. then chummy keeps his/her finger on the key it doesn't continue sending arrowKey signals after the first one. Richmond. ___ use-livecode mailing list
