Richard: It appears that I was confused. The lesson I referred to was using the newer AVFoundation player. So, I apologize if anybody was confused by it. Anyway, one of the reason that I was confused was that the lesson was so brief and there wasn’t enough information to make the lesson really u

Richard, I have been using Google to find docs on livecode. I wonder if there was an old, unlinked lesson that Google found. I'll try to find it and make a comment. I think it was titled something like "including media". Thanks, Bill William Prothero http://es.earthednet.org > On Apr 27, 2015,
