It's funny you mention that.? I built out one of our older interfaces in Construct recently as it was the easiest of our stable to do so.? The lack of the MPO (as you put it) forced me to have to build out the Autonomic onto the panel, and I painstakingly mimic'd the MPO almost to a tee.? Your comment about the scrolling list is interesting because the MMS modules do have a scrolling list.? It doesn't work AS WELL as the MPO obviously, but it does scroll.
?
We had to do this becasue the client whom already had existing iPads vuilt in VTPro wanted the same interface on TST-1080's and would not accept another iPad for whatever reason.? It was a real challenge to figure out what Construct can and cant do, and the nuances to it currently.? I had a lot of gripes, but in the end it works and is almost a mirror image of the current interface.
?
That said, I wouldn't want to try it on our newer interfaces that utilize fairly advanced functions and leveraging of VTP to perform.? Construct just isnt quite there yet for the advanced GUI stuff.

I would personally like to go back to the old ways for Music servers, like AudioRequest and old MMS, where we just built pages as needed and had code based on the device's protocol. More work initially for sure, but then you get total control over the UI.
The problem is that in the iOS era, we need a scrolling list that auto-populates with data coming from the server. I personally don't know how to do this. I've pinged Mike Jr at Autonomic about looking into them providing a way to do this, so maybe that's a possibility...
