OT: Opening stack from Dropbox--Now Fun with ellipses

[Jim Hurley]

Hi Scott,

Wonderful! Thanks. You are a fountain of knowledge.
I wonder why Dropbox differentiates stacks in this way.

But it certainly makes for a convenient way to share Livecode stacks.

I thought of Dropbox when the issue of drawing ellipses arose recently. (Thanks for straightening me out on the reason, Jacque.)

I scanned my files looking for ellipses and came across a stack I had forgotten about--and I still have no recollection of why I did it. The ravages of age.
At this point  I guess it could be classified as Fun With Ellipses. No a lot of fun, just a little. You have to have fun in the math.

Run this in your message box.

   go url "https://dl.dropbox.com/s/b6ytkgvdsqs55ec/EllipseInAbox.livecode" 

Jim
