opacity count is options.count. i forgot to change that one. it took me quite some hours. my mistake was i tried to integrate the array in the stepper when the stepper should only store the index value which i can tehn use to get the value from the array. beginner's mistake. :D but boy.. it took me quite awhile to figure it out lol

i did get it to work even if avplayer is state. but only instantiated it on button click. my next problem is how to make it play in a loop based on bool var. opened up a new thread about it. since videoplayer /av player has no way

it's ok now. since i decided to implement my original workflow which is to load the video on a button selection in the sheet. thanks @claude31. sucks that videoplayer or avplayer doesnt have auto repeat and that some other class has to be used. and it is not even possible to put a thumbnail to the video while it is not playing.

ill try it. perhaps i wasnt observing that he (the post that said avplayer has to be a state) probably set it as state but did not make it optional. or because i only assigned it in init it resulted this way. it probably will work if it is a state optional but i set the value after a button click?

Hi @claude31 i actually can load the url in the browser. you are right about the unwrap without checking for nil is dangerous. but I purposely unwrapped it because my video url is fixed. but im using a sample video url to start with. about the url, i assumed it should be working since i can view the video in the browser.

seems the problem is of my own doing. I have so many state changes in onAppear that's why it recreates the tabs

@claude31 hmm it certainly did not reload the component. when the tab view was shown, it loaded all components. i figure the culprit is in my custom view. if i use the WebView as sample. we have TextView(), WebView(), TextView2(). the init in text view print shows when i switch from WebView to any of the other 2 TextView() views. but if the switch is between TextView() and TextView2(), its ok.

hmmm ill check. could be some other code is the caus3

what do you mean by first responder

Hi. youre right. i got it to work. ill definitely look into that after im done with ny app. right now i dont have the time to have to convert it to codable since i already have the parsing logic from my android app. so im converting em quickly except this one, got stuck.

Menu - the sidebar with links (1st column) I see. the samples in the tutorial never had horizontalSizeClass included in the code. I figured it would appear in an iphone in portrait mode specifically since the sidebar (1st column) already takes a huge space in the screen. i thought id use this instead of a custom sidebar menu but i guess not. thank for the input

PlainListStyle does not remove it completely. There is still the matter of extra left space or is that design by default?

@endecotp ill try a workaround to see if it will work. Since it complains about open path clipping, ill check the coordinates and ensure that it is a closed path, then i do not have to use PolyTree.

i didnt mind that part because i got it working in android. the cliipping c ould still work if i got the PolyTree to work?

click image as for the image, i drew in orange to show the lines on the side that connect the circles .
