Hi Rupes and Bernd, since video playback is currently very basic on iOS it does not (yet) support these features available through QuickTime in the desktop version of LiveCode.

A stack is more like a window, but he's suggesting to set the label of the stack to a value will change the window title in the titlebar. This is the same as setting the "title" property of the stack. Ah, ok thanks for clearing that up. I think I'm finally getting a better idea of how LiveCode appr...

Finally got around to giving LiveCode a look (unfortunately 21 days after installing the demo, so only 9 days left for testing), and cannot seem to find anyway to display the value of a variable. For example, if I had a variable called "currentUser" and wanted to have its value (the name of the curr...
