LiveCode Forums.

I used to use the following script to save and read a data file from the iPhone, and I'm using it now on the iPad, and it just won't work. When I put the saved data into a field, I get the PATH to the file, rather than the file itself.

on mouseUp
put field masterdata into md
put (specialFolderPath("Documents") & "/tmdata.livecode") into tPathToDatabase
put "file:" before tPathtodatabase
put md into URL tPathtodatabase
put URL tPathtodatabase into field "tempx"
end mouseUp

I got it to work. But. now i can't get it to work on closestack. When you quit an app by going to the iOS desktop, is that a "closestack"? Because this script will NOT work in "on closestack"

Try "on shutdown".

That was it! Thanks. Why didnt they just keep on closestack? I mean, in iOS, what is "closestack" then?
