Rev on iPhone/iPod Touch ??

[Thomas McGrath III]

François,

Stacks will not run natively on the iPhone with any version of the Rev  
player. This is because most of the controls on the iPhone are not  
compatible with the controls in Revolution. This means that buttons,  
fields, images, players, etc. will not port over. The code might since  
that is just text until compiled. The player/IDE would need to provide  
a set of controls 'specific' to the iPhone and stacks would have to  
adhere to these. So any old stacks would need to be rewritten.


Regards,

Tom McGrath
