Hi Mark

Sorry, it wasn't clear to me that embedded sounds are outlawed, only that if 
one chooses to use an external sound file, one has to be more careful than in 
playing sounds on other platforms. The documentation is not very clear on this 
IMHO. For example, the LC Dictionary's section on "play" includes iOS as one of 
the possible platforms, whereas according to you it's only "play file" that 
will work. On Page 33 of the latest iOS notes (revision 69) "play" is discussed 
with an example which uses the term "soundFile" as a parameter, but it doesn't 
mention a ban on embedded sounds. In the section on "what doesn't work" (p16) 
there is one sentence:

        • audioclips/videoclips/player functionality (use the 'play' and 'play 
video' syntax described later)

which seems to suggest that "play" will be OK. The User Guide doesn't mention 
the issue at all (see section 13). Where else am I supposed to look? I think if 
RunRev has really pulled this functionality with no intention of restoring it 
in a later release then they should be clearer about it.

If you can point me at an explicit statement about this in the LC 
documentation, I'd be grateful.

Cheers

Graham
