Hi Jac, "monkeying around with screen sizes and resolutions" should not be an issue anymore to think about nowadays to develop desktop, mobile or web applications. A lot of other visual programming environments have already deal with that kind of nonsense in my opinion. See for example www.wakanda.org That's why I am wondering why the mobile template at the LiveCode site isn't working out of the box.

I don't think there's much difference between the desktop method and mobile apps. You just compile the main stack for mobile instead of for desktop. The headaches aren't in the scripts so much as the mobile-specific requirements like getting provisioning from Apple, or signed keys for Android, or monkeying around with screen sizes and resolutions and app permissions, or butting up against store restrictions. I'm not sure there's a good way to provide a template for that sort of thing, it all depends on the app behavior and layout. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
