iPad Player external input Jan 23, 2013 By Dale Roberts Hi guys, Is there any possible way to get external data, say from a website into a variable on the iPad Articulate Player?Thanks for your time.

But I've seen our Super Heroes do some amazing things with Javascript, so if it's at all possible, I hope someone can chime in and lend a hand. Good luck with the project!
