Hi Tiemo, I think the bug was not consistent, may be due to some hardware related condition, but I saw it happen a lot on a MacBook Pro, MacPro and iMac as soon as I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion. It caused a real headache for me as my software uses snapshots too. Maybe some of your

That's it Ben! It's all about making things possible. When we invent app ideas we often subconsciously limit ourselves to what's currently feasible in LiveCode. Having access to all these things and the possibility of having something implemented if required opens up new possibilities. Cheers

I think the reason for this is primarily the phasing out of modems. While a modem can be purchased for this use, they don't typically come in computers by default anymore. I think what you need to do is look to purchase a Macintosh compatible telephony modem, which will probably come with

The dictionary shows delete array tArray[x] as the correct syntax. Not sure if this matters though. Also, if the array is stored in a global variable, you may need to use delete global instead. Again, not sure. Worth testing though. Bob On Jan 13, 2013, at 3:53 PM, Kay C Lan wrote: Have

Wha? Pass by parameter? Isn't there an issue with using that method with arrays? Maybe I misunderstand. What I know is that you cannot pass an element of an array as a parameter to a command or function. You can only pass the entire array. I ran into this some time ago, which is why I know.

I believe what you cannot do is pass an array element by reference. So your faddnum function cannot be declared as: function faddnum @pnum Not that you would want to do that in a function but you might be tempted to make it a command defined that way. Pete lcSQL Software On Jan 14, 2013 10:01
