You could use two variables like tName and tPrevious set the loc of grc "k1" to cardWidth/2,cardHeight/2 put ”k1” into tPrevious repeat with i = 2 to 5 put ”k” & i into tName set the topleft of grc tName to the topright of grc tPrevious put tName into tPrevious end repeat Coding out of my head so reserve for mistakes! :-Håkan On 12 Nov 2020, 14:50 +0100, William de Smet via use-livecode , wrote: > Hi there, > > Another question today. > How do I shorten this script? > > set the loc of grc "k1" to cardWidth/2,cardHeight/2 > set the topleft of grc "k2" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k1" -1, item 2 > of topright of grc "k1") > set the topleft of grc "k3" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k2" -1, item 2 > of topright of grc "k2") > set the topleft of grc "k4" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k3" -1, item 2 > of topright of grc "k3") > set the topleft of grc "k5" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k4" -1, item 2 > of topright of grc "k4") > > > I know I should use 'repeat with' but I am stuck. > repeat with x = 2 to 4 > put "k" & x into tName > set the topleft of grc tName to (item 1 of topright of. grc? , item > 2 of topright of grc ...?) > end repeat > > > Any help is appreciated! > > > > greetings, > > William > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Yes, two variables must be the way! Your suggestion however throws an error (no such object). greetings, William Op do 12 nov. 2020 om 14:57 schreef : > You could use two variables like tName and tPrevious > > set the loc of grc "k1" to cardWidth/2,cardHeight/2 > put ”k1” into tPrevious > repeat with i = 2 to 5 >put ”k” & i into tName >set the topleft of grc tName to the topright of grc tPrevious >put tName into tPrevious > end repeat > > Coding out of my head so reserve for mistakes! > > :-Håkan > On 12 Nov 2020, 14:50 +0100, William de Smet via use-livecode < > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>, wrote: > > Hi there, > > Another question today. > How do I shorten this script? > > set the loc of grc "k1" to cardWidth/2,cardHeight/2 > set the topleft of grc "k2" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k1" -1, item 2 > of topright of grc "k1") > set the topleft of grc "k3" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k2" -1, item 2 > of topright of grc "k2") > set the topleft of grc "k4" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k3" -1, item 2 > of topright of grc "k3") > set the topleft of grc "k5" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k4" -1, item 2 > of topright of grc "k4") > > > I know I should use 'repeat with' but I am stuck. > repeat with x = 2 to 4 > put "k" & x into tName > set the topleft of grc tName to (item 1 of topright of. grc? , item > 2 of topright of grc ...?) > end repeat > > > Any help is appreciated! > > > > greetings, > > William > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > > ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: How do I shorten this script? Use 'repeat with'?
I added 'the name of grc "k1" to the script and now it works. Thanks! set the loc of grc "k1" to cardWidth/2,cardHeight/2 put the name of grc "k1" into tPrevious repeat with x = 2 to 5 put "k" & x into tName set the topleft of grc tName to (item 1 of topright of grc tPrevious -1, item 2 of topright of grc tPrevious) put tName into tPrevious end repeat greetings, William Op do 12 nov. 2020 om 15:14 schreef William de Smet : > Yes, two variables must be the way! > > Your suggestion however throws an error (no such object). > > greetings, > > William > > > > > > Op do 12 nov. 2020 om 14:57 schreef : > >> You could use two variables like tName and tPrevious >> >> set the loc of grc "k1" to cardWidth/2,cardHeight/2 >> put ”k1” into tPrevious >> repeat with i = 2 to 5 >>put ”k” & i into tName >>set the topleft of grc tName to the topright of grc tPrevious >>put tName into tPrevious >> end repeat >> >> Coding out of my head so reserve for mistakes! >> >> :-Håkan >> On 12 Nov 2020, 14:50 +0100, William de Smet via use-livecode < >> use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>, wrote: >> >> Hi there, >> >> Another question today. >> How do I shorten this script? >> >> set the loc of grc "k1" to cardWidth/2,cardHeight/2 >> set the topleft of grc "k2" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k1" -1, item 2 >> of topright of grc "k1") >> set the topleft of grc "k3" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k2" -1, item 2 >> of topright of grc "k2") >> set the topleft of grc "k4" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k3" -1, item 2 >> of topright of grc "k3") >> set the topleft of grc "k5" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k4" -1, item 2 >> of topright of grc "k4") >> >> >> I know I should use 'repeat with' but I am stuck. >> repeat with x = 2 to 4 >> put "k" & x into tName >> set the topleft of grc tName to (item 1 of topright of. grc? , >> item >> 2 of topright of grc ...?) >> end repeat >> >> >> Any help is appreciated! >> >> >> >> greetings, >> >> William >> ___ >> use-livecode mailing list >> use-livecode@lists.runrev.com >> Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your >> subscription preferences: >> http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode >> >> ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: How do I shorten this script? Use 'repeat with'?
Great! For me it works without adding 'the name of grc ”k1”‘. This works perfectly: set the loc of grc "k1" to the width of this card/2, the height of this card/2 put "k1" into tPrevious repeat with i = 2 to 5 put "k" & i into tName set the topleft of grc tName to item 1 of the topright of grc tPrevious - 1, item 2 of the topright of grc tPrevious put tName into tPrevious end repeat Did you maybe forget ”grc” somewhere? :-Håkan On 12 Nov 2020, 16:00 +0100, williamdes...@gmail.com, wrote: > > I added 'the name of grc "k1" to the script and now it works. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: How do I shorten this script? Use 'repeat with'?
Here's another way:
set the loc of grc "k1" to the loc of this cd
repeat with x = 2 to 4
set the topleft of grc ("K" & x) to the topright of grc ("k" & x-1)
set the left of grc ("k" & x) to the left of grc ("k" & x) - 1
end repeat
I find it easier to move the graphic one pixel in a second line of script than to mess around
with all those "item 1 of ..."s.

set the topleft of grc "k2" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k1" -1, item 2
of topright of grc "k1")

set the topleft of grc "k4" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k3" -1, item 2
of topright of grc "k3")
set the topleft of grc "k5" to (item 1 of topright of grc "k4" -1, item 2
of topright of grc "k4")
I know I should use 'repeat with' but I am stuck.
repeat with x = 2 to 4
put "k" & x into tName
set the topleft of grc tName to (item 1 of topright of. grc? , item
2 of topright of grc ...?)
end repeat
Any help is appreciated!
greetings,
William
