Sorry Jaque but for me, cross-platform is only relevant for desktop
apps. I bought into Revolution for it's web app development
capabilities. The new LiveCode branding and positioning is all about
writing apps that are deployable across environments - including the
web, server (OK, pre-release) and iOS (not so interesting for me
yet).
I'd be very happy to be corrected on this but my understanding is
that the current web component doesn't support stacks(?) Doesn't that
mean that, by definition, no app that uses any stack-based add-ons
can be deployed to the web(?)
Well, the server product just includes the language at present and
doesn't currently load stacks, but I believe that's on the to-do list.
But it sounds like you mean revelets. Those are stacks themselves, so
yes, they should support any third-party add-on that fits within the
restrictions of a browser. I guess that could be documented more fully.
You can include substacks in revlets and use their scripts, or display
them within the one-window-at-a-time restriction by using the same
window when you switch stacks. There's also a way to display two (or
more) stacks in the same browser window, and they can talk to each
other. Is that what you mean? Add-ons that require access to the user's
machine need to have their permissions set correctly depending on what
they need to do.
