Hi there. I’m trying to upgrade my iPhone app to iPad with higher resolution images and orientation support. In my old code I create text boxes like this (as global variables, before any function declarations):
local myText = ui.newLabel{
bounds = { 30, 920, 70, 990 },
text = “Hello world”,
font = “Helvetica-Bold”,
textColor = { 255, 255, 255, 255 },
size = 16,
align = “left”
}
In my orientation change function, I want to be able to change the position of myText to reflect the orientation change (reason: this text has to be in different places depending on whether you’re in landscape or portrait mode). So initially I tried just
myText.x = some_new_value
Which appears to work initially, but myText can be updated by event listeners, and as soon as it is, the bounds go back to the original ones. I’ve tried
myText.bounds = { new_bounds_values }
in my original function but that has no effect at all. Would be great if anyone could highlight where I’m going wrong…
