Just as a remark!

Presumably because of Apples restrictions for iPhone applications, the Lua function “loadstring” only works within the simulator, but not on the actual iPhone device!

I guess, that this also applies to the other “load…” functions.

To the Ansca staff: could you please disable the “load…” functions in the simulator? It should not be too complicated…

Kind regards,

Right – loading raw executable source on the fly would be a major security hole on mobile, and is disallowed by Apple. Use “require” to include external libraries, since those get compiled into the app during the build process.

You are correct that code loading should be deactivated in the simulator for consistency, and I expect that it will be. [import]uid: 3007 topic_id: 348 reply_id: 562[/import]
