Hello. Beginner here… I have an app set up using display.newImageRect for all my images so I can do content scaling or whatever. I’m new so I was looking around for the best way to make buttons. I cam across the require “ui” and ui.newButton stuff. It seems that I can’t do content scaling with this because it loads and places the image again. Am I missing a step? Or do I have to forget content scaling? Thanks.

I believe the Ghosts VS Monsters sample uses ui buttons with scaling - take a look at that

I’m sorry, but I’m not that good at following and understanding a bunch of code like that. [import]uid: 39302 topic_id: 22967 reply_id: 91969[/import]
Ok, try here; http://developer.anscamobile.com/content/configuring-projects Take a look at @2x section That is simpler. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 22967 reply_id: 92122[/import]
Okay. I checked this out. I have a config.lua file that is working. I’ve been using display.newImageRect for content scaling and it works, but when I use ui.newButton the content scaling isn’t working. It seems like when I make a ui button it loads the image AGAIN so that I then have two of the same image when I only want one.

Nathan, have you looked at the widget.newButton api? The UI button is very old and rarely used anymore, it’s replaced by the widget button which is very similar in code. And I believe it takes care of the scaling issues nicely without you having to configure anything
