viewing without downloading?

Hi all, I'm a former web designer who is used to making a changes to the site and seeing changes imediately - so in the design phase of my app in BT can I do this or do I have to download my code everytime - I followed this video Exploring buzztouch v1.5, Part 1 it starts at 7: 46 in the video located here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gUEYA8yY_A&NR=1&feature=endscreen and saw that David was viewing the changes in the IOS simulator but did he have to download the changed code everytime? When he pressed the refresh button I assumed that it was somehow linked to the the BT website becasue it seemed to be in real time but now I'm not so sure. A little bit confused about this so any insights are appreciated. Thanks, Garrett

Hi Garrett, Welcome to Buzztouch! You only need to download the code once, and then you can view updates from your control panel in realtime on your simulator, or on your device if you've installed a test app. That's assuming you've kept the app online, and not removed the DataURL and ReportToURL fields. Any changes you make to your app get reflected in BT_Config.txt, which is on the buzztouch.com servers, and when you open your app or bring it to the foreground, it checks that file for changes. There is also a refresh button on the upper left corner of the home screen on your app. Mark
