Downloading, storing and playing mp3 files

Post by Jellicle » Thu Feb 24, 2011 11:11 am

Can I use LiveCode to download, store and play mp3 files on iOS devices?

Hi Jellicle,

yes :D

Check menu "Help" -> "iOS Release Notes" for:
"play", "specialfolderpath" and "Non-file URL access".

P.S.
I will move this thread to the iOS forum.

Klaus, many thanks :)

Where is the iOS forum? I also want to ask about saving photos to the iPhone camera roll :)

Hm, saving an image TO the iPhoto lib is currently not supported, you can import a photo FROM the lib however.
All this and more is in the "iOS Release Notes".

Thanks Klaus. I'm still evaluating LiveCode so I don't have the full version or the iOS language documentation.

In relation to saving photos to the camera roll - the default behaviour in many iOS app is for images to be selectable and saveable to the camera roll when the user presses and holds down on the image. Given that the function is not programmable, do you know if that behaviour is supported?

The "iOS Release Notes" is currently the only documentation for iOS.

Sorry, I have no idea.
But if it is not mentioned in the "iOS Release Notes", then it will probably not be supported (yet), but I may be wrong.

Latest livecode 4.6.1 now supports saving images to the users camera roll.
