Mark, Thanks! Here’s the script I created based upon your example. This is a stack with one card and on the card is a field “counter”. I put “0” into the field to seed it.
When the stack file is opened, it launches LiveCode and does the preOpenStack and the send in seconds causes the stack to display. The field counter starts incrementing. And to get it to stop, hold down the option key and processing halts. Damn, wish I had known about this years ago. Thanks, Kee on preOpenStack choose browse tool send idleDoit to this stack in 1 second end preOpenStack on idleDoit put field "counter" + 1 into field “counter" if the optionKey is up then send idleDoit to this stack in 1 second end if end idleDoit > On Feb 1, 2021, at 11:30 AM, Mark Wieder via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > On 2/1/21 10:29 AM, kee nethery via use-livecode wrote: > >> Basically I needed a stack to launch and run in the IDE and LiveCode didn’t >> have a way to do that. > > ??? > > on preOpenStack > choose pointer tool > startMeUp > end preOpenStack > > on startMeUp > answer "I'm started" > end startMeUp > > -- > Mark Wieder > ahsoftw...@gmail.com > > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
