Not sure if this post is going anywhere or not. I was looking for some sort of support forum, but this is all I could come up with.

I downloaded the AppStudio this morning. Very interesting. Here are 4 quick questions:

  1. Is there a 'timer' control available?
  2. Can you read/write files or settings for your app (similar to .ini files or registry entries)?
  3. What sort of string manipulation is available?
  4. What steps would you need to take to write and/or retrieve a 'play list' for media files?

Thanks...

  3. Take a look at to see what can be done with strings.
  4. I'd probably attempt to use LocalStorage, or if you need something more robust, SQL should do the job.
