Re: Unicode in Answer Dialog on iOS

I use a similar technique for modal dialogs but I use black graphic with blendlevel about 80% to dim everything. The main annoyance is that you need to remember to keep the dimming layer and the the dialog groups above everything else in the ui. It would certainly be nice to have a multi-stack

Re: about resolution independence...

Still, for my non-utility situations, I'm aspect ratio independent in Flash. At least in the range of ratios I want to support (e.g., 4:3 through to 16:9). Supporting portrait and landscape is a layout issue rather than a resolution issue. That is, you're unlikely to have a single layout that ca

RE: about resolution independence...

I agree. When I got the "Livecode does not have resolution independence" reality check after using LC for my first mobile app I sent out a help to the list. Jacque clued me in and gave me some pointers. To make my app happen I wrote a library in a couple of weeks and tweaked it over a couple of mon

Thanks Colin and Chris. Pretty much my worst picture, but it's obviously doable. I have not used tmControl but I'll look into it. My app is a single-screen educational program with some simple game-like features, but no rapid movement. On the screen there are images (they're simplified photos

Graham, In the case of One Minute Reader, it would kind of depend. Most of the time we used larger "retina" images and then scaled them down via script for the lower resolution iPad. This worked well, it's fast, and quality was pretty decent. There were exceptions to this where sometimes it was

As things stand you have to do all the work yourself, but you could do that with layout or code, and which to use might depend on the nature of the app. Your easiest option is to not worry about Retina for now, and then when there is resolution independence you can release an update, where a big
