Ali, thanks for chiming in… in the current app we stayed away from any
resizing, the Design passed down from our team which has years of experience in
print graphics (but zero in digital UX/UI) would have been a challenge to get
responsive. It could be done of course, anything can be done in Livecode! But,
compared to using CSS for web, writing all the code for making the design I got
handed, responsive, would have taken more time than we wanted to put in at that
stage of the project (with "tiny" budget!)… possibly in the future.
RE: "a good resizeStack Handler" … it would be great is those who have mastered
this skill--have libraries, examples… were to place them somewhere for us to
study.
A lot of the "flak" I hear about using LC is "but it's not responsive, at that
so easy with HTML5" They gloss over the depth of javascript skills required
to actually program the UI to do anything other than look pretty. However easy
it may be to make a <div class="flexFrame"> and apply a class. The "ease" ends
there. If I have a UI ready to go and ask a JS jockey to program the whole UX,
click a stop watch and have Jacqueline do it in LiveCode. Jacque will be done
in half the time.
Point: if we had a more robust set of examples, lessons, youTube Tutorials on
"building responsive UI for LiveCode" it would go a long way in helping the
product feel that this issue, is a non-issue. Right now it is.

On the subject of building UI from script, I generally think it boils down
to whether you already have a good resizeStack handler implemented. If you
do, you've done all the hard work already - you can just create all the
objects with their required properties before the card opens and delete
them when it closes, and your resizeStack does the rest of the placement
work.
Obviously this is a bit trickier if you have a lot of fields prepopulated
with text, or groups with more complicated structure where it's not so easy
to tease out the scripts into a behavior.
