Beginners questions

[John Allijn]

Hi, 

I'm new to livecode, but have some experience in supercard (and even hypercard). 
First of all: I am very impressed that it is now possible to create iOS apps with livecode!

However, I have a few questions about building for iOS. 

1) I want to create an iPad app. So I created a stack in the right proportions, set the right iOS attributes etc. 
When I run the app in the simulater however, all the controls like buttons, except the picker-wheel, look like windows 3.11 buttons. Is there a way to use the default iOS controls? If not: is there an easy way to import all the iOS controls into a stack? 

2) I have read about accessing local datafiles (and even sql databases) on the iPhone/iPad. Is it also possible to access a file or a database on the web? I want to setup a central database (like a wiki) and have the iPad app read and write to it. I do not expect many users, so I don't care much if it is a file or a DB on the web. both will do fine. 

thanks,
John Allijn
