External files in Standalones

[Earthednet-wp]

Tom,
I've been developing a large app in LC, while learning LC, and am just now at the stage of building a standalone. So, I haven't faced the apple store requirements yet. I guess I should spend more time looking at the forums, because for now I've concentrated on this list for info, and building the app for a January deadline. My plan for now is to finish the app, use InstallerMaker to build an installer, and send it to UC Santa Barbara for testing in an Earth Disasters course. This replaces an older app I made in Director. Then I'm going to add more bells and whistles, and try to get it into the Apple store. It would be really great if I could anticipate future problems with file structures, etc. ultimately, I will look at iPad deployment.

One of the problems I've run into is the application builder changes the file structure and images that I have linked to controls lose their links when a standalone is built. But in general, It would be really useful if there was a place where sample file structures, application builder oddities, and apple store complexities were posted. The Livecode tutorials are laughably brief and un-informative, and I've googled to no avail.

Any directions or links would be most welcome.
Best,
Bill
