Download a stack file

Hi, I'm making a stack updater that downloads a LC stack to the user's hard drive and replaces a stack there. I plan to: 1. Have the user download a small updater stack and run it 2. The updater gets essential data from the user's old stack and writes it to a file 3. The

If OS9 is not possible, one app you might try is Graphic converter,which tries to read all graphic file formats, and possibly those from resource forks, which is where HC stores images. Not tested but if any modern app could, it would be GC. Free trial, and very reasonab

Hello Pete, For a while I shipped an app that used XSpell < http://lestang.org/spip.php?article51 > an osax AppleScript extension that gives access to Apple's spell check engine. Obviously it isn't cross platform and requires a bit of scripting but it did handle the (for me) tough part of ret

Re: Spell checking on a Mac

Thanks Paul. The thing is, OS X has a spell checker built into it so I guess I'm really looking for any info on how to hook into that from Livecode. Most applications have a "Spelling and Grammar" entry in the Edit menu, and you can also control-click or right click a word for suggested correctio

Spell checking on a Mac

Almost every Mac program that allows text entry allows you to correct spelling by right-clicking on a word but it doesn't happen in LC text fields. Any ideas as to how to implement this? I'm assuming there must be some sort of spell checker built in to OS X. Pete Molly's Revenge

adding text in one field and automatically to another

And now for something very easy. I have two fields (area code and telephone number). I'd like for the first field (area code) to allow three numbers to be entered and then if a fourth number is entered automatically go to the telephone number field and continue adding the rest of the number there.

It occurred to me a little belatedly that someone might be interested in a handler I use for pasting unformatted text (so that it matches the text formatting of the target field). I have this in my LC frontscript, so it's available to me everywhere in LC: on commandKeyDown pKey -- command-co

Re: Empty fields and controls after testing

I think one of the problems here is the mixing of not quite compatible metaphors. HyperCard (and in extension LC which inherited most of those behaviours) uses a data model exactly like a Database. That means all data entry will be permanent, and fields are not data entry points, but data retai
