This was my first attempt also. I found that precision errors crept in. The first resize on the mobile device worked OK but change from portrait to landscape a few times and the precision errors become very apparent. I rolled my own my LC resize handler that positions controls based on the current screen rect and their relationship to other controls. LC now offers solutions that I have not used that others have had good success with.

Given these values... original STACK-width is tOSW original stack-height is tOSH resized stack-width is tRSW resized stack-height of stack is tRSH original OBJECT rect is tOOR (i.e., left,top,right,bottom) ... and assuming I'm right that ... ratio of stack's width change is tRSWC and equals round(tRSW / tOSW,2) ratio of stack's height change is tRSHC and equals round(tRSH / tOSH,2) ... then how (further?) wrong am I in assuming that, if I want the original object resized and repositioned to scale on the new stack size, the NEW RECT of that object therefore equals ... round(item 1 of tOOR * tRSWC,0) , round(item 2 of tOOR * tRSHC,0) , round(item 3 of tOOR * tRSWC,0), round(item 4 of tOOR * tRSHC,0) Sorry if that was painful. For what it's worth, I'm embarassed posting it, but... -- Nicolas Cueto _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
