Hi

Am using letterbox mode for our app, which is series of animations, when originally designed for iPad 1024x768 some animations animate off the screen. This works great on screens with same resolution, however on devices that add borders the animations bleed into the borders, i could programmatically add a mask over the these ares but is there not a way to do this automatically , am sure not first one to come across this ?

thanks

It’s been awhile since I’ve played with the different zoom options, but OOI, are the results any better with zoomEven? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 13846 reply_id: 50895[/import]

Hi

Thanks for reply. No unfortunately we have to use letterbox, zoomEven is cropping too much of the screen on certain devices, letterbox works much better, but would be better if the black borders stay… well black.

thanks again

No worries - unfortunately it is a bit tricky when hiding things off screen and then switching to different devices. How many objects are we talking about here? Could you consider bumping them off a tad more? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 13846 reply_id: 51087[/import]

Not really would mean rewriting 80 + scenes (about 500 animations) just not practical unless an absolutely last resort. May try a mask over that area. [import]uid: 77943 topic_id: 13846 reply_id: 51099[/import]

It sounds like this time that might be the way to go; sadly unless written with various screen sizes in mind objects off screen can be problematic :frowning: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 13846 reply_id: 51270[/import]
