Yes, you can. Read the LiveCode iOS release notes and look for "Network reachability". If you have any questions after checking there feel free to ask here

Yes

Oh, you want to know how? Use a native multiline text control.

There is some information here about using native controls in LiveCode:

When you get stuck ask for help

Is tInstruct a local variable that has bee declared at the top of the script? If it hasn't been declared then of course it won't work :) Also,your call to the control to set its text is wrong. mobileControlSet "test" , "Instruct", "" & tInstruct should be: mobileControlSet "test" , "text", "" & tIns...

I'm not sure why anyone complains about this. The software, infrastructure and services provided by Apple has to be paid for somehow.

Gerry

Just detect the device and set the text size of the native text control appropriately.

Thanks for the update! I've selected Sticky for my control - it works about half the time (when it does it's perfect). The rest of the time it works as before, zipping through the images. That is on the device.

How about a full screen sliding object as per Ender's: http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=16981.

It would be good to have modes where a full-screen object would slide to the left, to the right, or in both directions. The distance swiped would be user-settable, too.

Great control! However I feel t's not quite useable. I have 7 images in a test carousel and I want the user to be able to swipe to bring them to the front in sequence. At the moment if the user swipes the control at all fast it spins rather than just bringing the next image to the front. I have to s...

Heh Ender, that post of mine was from 2011 I'm using the same method - works fine here

Gerry

Yeah sorry, it was almost midnight and I wasn't thinking straight . You also need to add this to the plist:

<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
<string>audio</string>
</array>

You need to hack the plist to prevent the app quitting when it is suspended. I've provided instruction for that somewhere on here, I think. In my phone right now so I'm reluctant to type them all out again...but a search might turn it up.

Elegant work, Ender, as usual. One comment - I imagine most use cases for this would call for only one direction (left to right), not both directions. Can you make a version (or have a flag set by the developer) to restrict this to one direction only?

Gerry

John, many thanks. The size is right but it's not displaying properly. Here's a screen shot.

When I drag e.g. a switch to my stack it is smaller than it should be. I'm building for retina screens only - what magic do i do so that the switches appear at their normal iOS 7 size?
