Hi Enno,

you can also use the "Organizer" Window in XCode to tranfer the app to your iPad!

Hi Klaus,

i will try this ... thanks ( again ).

Another question, how do i make a selfmade image button ( for starting a movie ) work in the iPad sim. ?

i did :

on mouseup
start player "player"
end mouseup

and it works in Livecode, but when i try it on the iPad simulator from Livecode it's not reacting ? :cry:

greetings,
Enno

Hi Enno,

check the "iOS Release Notes" (Menu: Help) for: "Video playback support".
There are big differences between playing video on the desktop and iOS like there is no "player" on iOS!

Add the videos to your app via the "Copy files" tab in the standalonebuilder settings, so you can e.g. just:
play (specialfolderpath("engine") & "/video.mp4")

specialfolderpath("engine") (iOS ONLY!) will return exactly that folder where the files or folders get copied into.
