Hello all,
I would be very grateful if some one can explain to me why the following
program does not work. It is a cut down demonstration program designed to
show the fault.
I made the following in the latest community version of LiveCode.
I made a card with a button "button", a field "numbers" and a field
"results"
The card script was:
global bb, aa
on startbb
put "A" into bb[0]
put "B" into bb[1]
put "C" into bb[2]
end startbb
Button "Button" has the script
on mouseUp
startbb
get the field "numbers"
put it into aa
put bb[aa] into field "results"
end mouseUp
The program does not work. There were no compiling error messages.
Could some one please explain what is wrong. I tried a variety of other
things, but I want to keep this email short.
I wanted to program some logic tables, but in LiveCode, I just fail. I just
reach a blank wall. The above little snippet program demonstrates what I
can not do. It is not much fun when something that one feels should be
obvious, simply does not work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
David Milne
