Re: read volume

I think what you're looking for is directory walking (files & folders, not file contents). You're part of a fairly recent thread that explains this: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/recursion-limit-when-creatin g-file-list-of-harddrive-td4697952i20.html Regards, Scott Rossi Creati

can enter a field, but text beeps

I have a field that I can click into, but typing causes a beep instead of text. I even added the handler *on* keyUp ky ck ky & cr & the long name of the target *pass* keyUp *end* keyUp which confirms that the key is indeed triggering in the correct field. I put a red dot on the pass,

Wildcard?

Well, here I am reading my "Revolution 1.1.1" User Guide because when I was soaking in a nice hot bath (an excellent location for thinking about Livecode) I suddenly thought of a "problem", which, on reflection congealed around the term "Wildcard". Now in the "Revolution 1.1.1" User Guide, page

read volume

I thought I had read you could read a volume like you read a file but it can not be the startup volume. I tried to read using the volume name shown from the volumes function and open file and it did not work so I used open driver and it did not return any data either. Is there a way to read a dis

Hello, This little scrip don't word with Livecode 7 and 8. I guess this is because Livecode work directly in unicode (the script work with Livecode 6). But how handle it in my script ? put "áàâäãåÄÅÀÃéèêëÊËÈÉíìîïÍÎÏÌóòôöõÓÔÒÕÖúùûüÚÛÙÜÑñçÇ'" into accent put "aaoOuu

Re: Asynchronous animations in LCB

Thanks Mark - I think as an excercise adding an alarm capability to the clock seems like a nice thing to do. Looking in to how do you dispatch messages from LCB to LivecodeScript? I see two option "send" and "post" wandering what the difference is... I also have a general question about the scope

Asynchronous animations in LCB

OK I took a look for the first time in detail at the source code of some of the existing widgets to see what is possible, and indeed much of it looks great - simple and easy to hack. I'm contemplating doing some animations in a widget, and would like the animation to be non-blocking. How do you ac

Speed of LCB

Richard mentioned that LCB can be / is magnitudes slower than Livecode script for certain tasks? I'm wandering how this pans out with json import. Perhaps it's time to look at a speed comparison between various ways to encode and decode JSON in Livecode. We have: - a number of libs written in
