Hi, Thinking more, .... but sorta selfishly.
Our LC based camp attendance application could "operate" on a Chrome Book with a teacher in the field should we make some changes, it seems. What this means is we make the content of the app into a Read Only presentation (perhaps PDF) and the stuff that changes frequently needs a web form with writing to files on a server, and the stuff that changes seldom can be with a email form to the class-master. More needs to be done server side of course. Sure, this isn't LC, but a way to do most of what my app does on a cheaper device (less expensive than laptop) that gets its visuals out of LC, say, every day. LiveCode could email the staff a daily PDF with attendance background data and smart hooks to web forms could handle changes. This puts me on a quest export LC date to a static presentation that plays nice on Chrome Books in the field. And the nifty stuff could come via better crafted web links to make changes in data. So in real world example, a click on a Chrome Book running a PDF on a student's phone number field for a card could generate a form with URL to submit that new data to a specific field on a specific card in a LC app for updates to tomorrow's attendance background insights. The three important fields with more dynamic data needs to be a web app really. How much scripting can occur with a click in a LC generated doc running on a Chrome Book? My shortcomings in WWW html and PDF communications within URLs is killing me. This isnt LC now. Back to the drawing board for those features to work. Thanks for listening.
