LiveCode stack files are an underrated document format.

For getting it FROM the student, why not just use a livecode stack file. It
could contain everything and be highly editable. For returning it TO the
student you could use a pdf.

And just a reminder that, under iOS, you’ll have to register to receive a “
UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification” message, and then write a handler to
respond to that (PS only register once in your stack script — I learned the
hard way). It’s documented under mergNotify in the dictionary (w

If the 'student writing' is created in some other program then wouldn't it be

Richard,
I kinda like the pdf idea. Seems it would give me a way to encapsulate and
format the text and images and perhaps a fairly defined pdf format would make
it straightforward to edit it using Livecode as well.
Best,

On iOS use mergNotify as below. Works well for me.
on openStack
mergNotify "UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification"
mergNotify "UIApplicationDidBecomeActiveNotification"
end openStack

Android has always acted like this and now that iOS apps run in the
background like Android does, it behaves the same way. At least our
problems are cross-platform now.
An app will stay in RAM until the user specifically quits or until the OS
needs the memory. When that happens, the OS wipes t

It may not be. I've made standards-compliant courseware in the past (a
while ago; the data format was XML ), and it wasn't as bad as I'd

I’m not sure what you mean with ”suspend” on mobile. You only run one
application at a time. If your app goes out due to a phone call or any other
event it will normally quit your app and send a closeStack message and some
more. If you want to create an application that doesn’t allow the screen
Sorry if this is documented somewhere but I can’t find it.
On desktop platforms, LC gives us “suspend” which is fired when the app goes
into the background. I seem to be having some problems with iOS, in that when
the screen locks (triggered by user action or a time limit), my app seems to
