LiveCode is more than powerful and flexible enough to do what you want. Simple, to boot.
The problem is that you might give away too much control, so that the whole app could be trashed by your users since you either have to give access to IDE tools, or permit only choices from a menu of properties, say. Fortunately, you can lock the core objects. Do you want to give just a limited, preset number of options to the user when a new control is created, or allow all properties to be adjusted? If the former, I can think of a few cute gadgets that would be fun to implement. Write back...

I can set the tool to [ ... ]. Think an "editable page". But my problem then is (let's take an image for example): - how do I make it so that the user can add an image to the placeholder - move the image - resize it Same for lines, texts, ... any ui element, really - I am trying to create a mock-up tool. My thoughts were be that I: a) have the user add the object to the the stack b) dynamically attach handlers to the newly created object that implement any desired object-specific behavior (i.e. move. (reset image source, crop, ...) How do I add the handlers dynamically (I really haven't been able to find it), and moreover, where do I store these templates in the overall stack. I think I haven't wrapped my head around the LiveCode model to do these more dynamic things, *any* help would be greatly appreciated!!!
