Just syntax. send "importPds vMap,fSource" to card "Notes" of stack "CallingStack" in 0 seconds messages and their parameters take the form: message param1,param2,param3,etc. LC has to be able to evaluate the argument(s) of the "send" command to follow this form. Craig Newman -Origi

How do I send variables from substack to mainstack?

I have a handler (importPds) on a card in the main stack that I want to send data to from a substack. I set the calling stack name to a global CallingStack. vMap and fSource are variables to pass back to the importPds handler on the card. The following line from an open substack gives an error

iOS Scrolling: Setting the scroll values

Hi List, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to set the scroll of an iOS scroller. I have big image "Map" and a 20 x 20 graphic named "Marker" in the scrolling group. I'd like to set the scrolling of the such that "Marker" is centered in the window when the card opens. So I thought to do it l

Drinking aside, get item 2 of the loc of your target object on mouseEnter. Put it into a custom prop of that object. Write a mouseMove handler that sets the loc of the target to item 1 of the mouseLoc & "," & the property. Craig -Original Message- From: Richmond To: How to use LiveC

Constrained grab

I have a "blob" that contains this script: on mouseDown grab me end mouseDown so I can move the "blob" around . . . HOWEVER I want to somehow constrain the GRAB so that I can only drag the "blob" laterally. [Don't blame me; blame George Brackett . . . ] Richmond. ___

Scott I believe one way around the "same-origin" issue is to return a valid JavaScript script (basically date in JSON format) and dynamically generated a script tag for it. This is known as JSON-P. Most of the JavaScript frameworks have JSON-P support. JQuery seems to be the most popular ( htt

Scott, One simple way to go is to add one of the following AJAX functions to your code to let it interact as needed with the irev part of your app : 1.- without using the JQuery framework : function sendPostData(url, data) { // sans jquery ok : deb // var xhr_object = null;
