Hi, I’m wondering what the best method is for placing images that would work for multiple platforms. I have an image that is the screen aspect ratio of an iPad which is the squarest format among the devices (4x3). I want the same image to work on the iPhone which has a wider format. When I place my image in the app, when I run the iPad version on the simulator, it works fine but if I switch to iPhone there is a letterbox on the sides since the image seems to be stretched in height. What’s the best way to adjust for the various formats? Should I just build a different version of the app for every different device or is there a better way?

Thanks for the quick response, Peach! That article helped a lot. I was mostly wondering how I could get images to show up correctly depending on the aspect ratio of the device , since UI elements were getting cut off but found out I could query the current width and height of the device through display.viewableContentWidth and display.viewableContentHeight and am now using that for placement on the screen. Thanks a bunch! [import]uid: 112953 topic_id: 21762 reply_id: 86512[/import]
