Hi folks,
I'm working on a presentation stack, which has a home card with a set of

Dear use-livecode
I am beginning work on a learner's dictionary for Norwegian, and am
looking into using LiveCode.
A few basic questions:

ultimate dictionary, but I am quite sure that I don't have the skills

Hi.
I don't think you need an external database.
Unlike Hypercard, LC does not handle tens of thousands of cards quickly. But it
can easily and instantly handle what you have in mind. Place your data in a
field or custom property and load it into a variable on openstack. You might
also use

I want to make an app that uses data from the currently playing song on my iPod

Is there a way to see data like that in a LiveCode app? Probably not 'out of

I don't have much experience using LC as a storage method but the manual
recommends that if you have more than 2000 records to store you should
consider using an external database. SQLite is not hard to learn and there
are a lot of tutorials out on the web, plus free SQLite management tools.

Hey pretty clever. You could even trap for newCard and deleteCard to add and
delete entries in the custom Property. That way you wouldn't have to repeat
through all the cards again except for maintenance.

I'm a quarter Norwegian! I'd buy that! I like the idea of using an array, given
that all the data you could ever conceivably have will fit into memory snugly.
For a dictionary, that may not be the case. SQLite would be the way to go if
not. Lots of cards, no buenos.
SQL is not that hard to

I think the idea was to have multiple values to mark cards with. Mark and
unmark are one dimensional. Using the alternate method that Jim proposed, there
would be no limit to the values a card could be marked with using custom

I will say that I have had a long staning issue in Livecode where I have to

Yes, but I was not getting the ID of the group, but the ID of this card (note
currentCard is now obsolete). What is odd is that the ID of this card is 1002
no matter which card you are on, (given it still exists otherwise it would be
the ID of first card of the stack) and the name of this card
I think the difference may have been that my button was part of a background

had anything to do with it. Also, I did not go to a card number. I used go
next.

Hey Bob,
This still sounds wrong. The ID of this card should be the same, regardless
of the object containing the script that retrieves it. I'm not aware that
lockMessages or lockScreen would have any effect on getting the ID of this card.
The problem more likely lies with this card. If
I wonder if this is because export snapshot puts the stack in memory, along
