Trying to do the Build a Widget Tutorial

[William Prothero]

Folks:
I’m trying to do the “Build a Widget” tutorial and I’m running into a roadblock. I’m using Livecode 8.1.0

I made the .lcb file and then launched the Extensions Builder. Where I’m stuck is when I click the small folder icon at the upper right of the window to choose a valid extensions folder, I get “No Resources Found in Extensions.” and “no default script found”. Could it be that since I’m using the Indy version, I need a different “use” specification in the first lines?

Apparently the Extensions Builder is not recognizing my .lcb file as valid.

I tried to access the video that’s associated with the tutorial page, but it wants me to log in and then I can’t find the page, and the Create-It course comes up blank on my screen. It was my impression that the Create-It course was free to Indy registered users. True?

BTW: small point, but the Extensions Builder is accessible under the “Tools” menu in LC8.1, not under the “Development" menu. 

Best,
Bill
