Live API Examples
The Live API example lessons are presented as a series of Live Sets. The sets provide content and specific configurations that show off the Live API, so we advise opening the sets before trying the example devices in your own set. The example devices are fully functional but in some cases require specific hardware or Live document configurations before they will do anything.
Finding the Live API examples
- In Live's View menu, select Help View to display the Help panel in the Live application window.
- Scroll to the bottom of the Help View and click on the Packs button to display all of the lessons available for your installed Packs. Choose M4L Building Tools to see the availble API lessons.
- When the Building Tools lessons are displayed, you can select from the links at the bottom of the pane to proceed to a lesson. Each lesson contains a Live Set that will provide access to the device and supporting material.
