multiple cameraControls possible?

[Alan]

Hi Sean

Thanks for the feedback - ideally it's for all 3 but have been testing it on iOS.

As I said, I can create 2 controls, though only 1 of them is "active" - i.e. updating - at one time. As soon as I delete the 2nd control, the 1st one again becomes active. This is the same whether I use a different camera (front/back) for each or not.

Wonder if Monte has any ideas about this? Does mergAV allow more than 1 control active at a time?

cheers

Alan
