Klaus, My setBackground handler doesn't give a direct translation, but does start it. https://github.com/bwmilby/mobileDemo/blob/48b89b37aba41afb5a7b90cfc9bdbbca9e7f052c/mobileDemo_Scripts/stack_MobileDemo_card_id_1002.livecodescript#L105
Since we are talking about portrait on mobile, the extra space will always be in the height direction. That simplifies a few things. The height of the screen from the card perspective will be: put tCardW / (tScreenW / tScreenH) into tNewH You will need 3 things to calculate positions. A ratio for each direction and a height offset. put (tNewH - tCardH) / 2 into tHOffset -- 1/2 of the extra pixels with be at the top put tNewH / tScreenH into tHRatio -- convert screen pixels to card pixels put tCardW / tScreenW into tWRatio -- convert screen pixels to card pixels Using this, you should be able to calculate a card XY value from a screen XY value (safe XY for example). put (tScreenY * tHRatio) - tHOffset into tCardY put (tScreenX * tWRatio) into tCardX This is without testing though. I'll try to do a test to validate my method. And remember, that anything placed outside the bounds of the card will just be there for looks and probably won't respond to touch.
