function

Summary

Returns the build number of the LiveCode engine.

Syntax

the buildNumber

buildNumber()

Description

Use the buildNumber function to determine which engine version the application is using. This is useful to figure out, for example, whether a certain LiveCode feature is available.

The buildNumber of two copies of LiveCode or a standalone application may be different, even if the version function returns the same number. This is because new builds of the same version may be released to provide fixes to specific problems.

When reporting a problem with LiveCode, please include the buildNumber and version of the application.

Examples

if the buildNumber < 3 then
  answer "This version is too early."
end if
