Lame, lame, lame!
Please feel free to use the function I just wrote:
function magicApp
makeApp
sellApp
put money into my account
end magicApp

Devin.
Why waste your time with that, when you can simply use the new "doItAll"
and "makeUI" commands:
on mouseUp
makeUI
doItAll
end mouseUp
So much faster. No errors. I personally do not have time to make a button
and put that script into it. I wish they would automate that as well.

Hi folks,
Thanks to the engine refactoring project made possible by last year's
Kickstarter campaign the good folks at RunRev have finally been able to
implement a feature that I have wanted for years. You know how you're
always
yelling at your computer to do what you mean, not what you actually coded?
Well,
that's a thing of the past with the new guessProgrammerIntent stack
property.
Try this in the stack script:
on openStack
set the guessProgrammerIntent of me to true
end openStack
Suddenly everything I really want my stack to do "just works!"
So I can do things like this:
sort field "mydata" in a way that makes sense
And Boom! the text in the field looks exactly like I want it to look,
whatever
that is.
It even works with Strict Compilation Mode turn on! I think what happens
is that
if you forget to declare a variable, LiveCode just assumes you meant to
and
carries on as if you had declared it.
I have tried this with both the LTR and the new RTL versions of LiveCode.
I have
yet tested it in Ambidextrous mode because I can't afford it right now.
Looking forward to hearing of other developers' successes with the new
guessProgrammerIntent property.
Cheers,
Devin
