Years ago I used to use Macromedia Director, and got to be pretty good at
programming objects (the kind that operated independently once they were
birthed...sort of OOP).
What's the best way of doing that sort of thing in LiveCode?

That is a bit different to objects. An object might look more like this:

myobj.doSomethingSpecial();

Oh. And since it's UTF-8, and it looks correct in the file apparently (which
is weird with no LANG env variable) would that affect how you have to manage

Hi all.
I just came across a curious issue where I had an if then else control

I *thought* I used toe be able to use the form

else if anotherstatement then
-- do someotherstuff

-- do defaultstuff
I'm curious is there really a real-life use-case for the group spec ?
i.e. variable size groupings of digits ?
Not sure what order you want for currency and neg sign ? Should it be
$-123 or -$123
and should it be 123-$ or 123$- ?
Should there always be a 0 before the point ? i.e.
Bob - as you've found out, nested if/then statements tend to break down in
unexpected ways when you mix the short and long forms of the syntax. To be
on the safe side, always opt for the long form when nesting statements -
these always compile correctly.

Well if you can figure out how to get locale to work from an lc shell, there
are interesting things that can be done in that vein using python.
If LANG is set to en_GB, and locale is actually working, you can feed it to
a python script such as this
#!/usr/bin/python
import locale -- for locale
Hi Alex,
To be honest, I'm not sure if there's a real life case for variable sizing of
groups! I'm using the specs for the information returned by the Unix locale
LC_MONETARY command and it specifically talks about the group spec this way.
Seems unlikely but it adds to the spice of writing a
Yeah, was just pointing out that since os x has python installed by default
(right?) could include a small python script and just feed it numbers
through shell anytime you wanted a currency format. Not sure how fast it
would be for lots of conversions though. /shrug

That's definitely an option if I don't find a solution to getting the locale
info from within LiveCode. Unfortunately, I know nothing about python. I've

This goes way back to the earliest HC days. You can even find cases where
