Many thanks, Dave. Will go ahead and try animating a snapshot.

Hey, I'm experiencing a drop in frame rate when performing two AE animations simultaneously. Here's an example of code I'm using to create an effect of on-screen elements "evaporating": aeLockMoves aeMoveTo the long id of group "app_controls", item 1 of the loc of this card, tStartingPoint, 350 -- M...

Interesting, I've never tested that so it's news to me. That's a nice bit of trivia to know. In practice it doesn't matter though, because as you say, as soon as the card opens it will be the size you expect. That means you can place your objects where they will belong at any time, and when the car...

Thank you, everyone, for responding to my query and in particular to Gerry for sharing his solution. It's much appreciated.

Hi Ender. Sure, it's called Nine Square: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/nine-sq ... 79850?mt=8

Hi. I'm attempting to have my app appear in the iOS 7 app switcher/multi-tasking interface with the most recent app UI state as the thumbnail. By default, it seems that the splash screen image specified in Standalone Application Settings is used as the thumbnail, and if this isn't set there is an em...

I may actually, in any case, be able to do the layout on a default screen size and use the new fullscreenmode feature in 6.5 rather than going through all my controls and sizing and positioning in relation to the device size.

Thanks, Jacqueline. Interesting. A quick example... When, in the iOS Simulator, I'm on card 1 and I read the width of card 2, the value I get back is whatever the width of card 2 was in the IDE. However, if I read the width of card 2 when card 2 has opened, it matches the width of the device. Is tha...

Many thanks, Jacqueline. Useful information. I only have a few cards so I can try cycling through them in a resizeStack handler. As I loop through the cards, is there any way to say "make this card the same dimensions as the stack", so that when I refer to it (post-loop), the dimensions reflect the ...

Hi. I'm creating an iOS game and am configuring the layout of a card before actually going to it. However, the rect of the card reflects its rect when I last saved it in the IDE, when in fact I want it to match the rect of the actual device. The card taking on the stack's dimensions appears to happe...

Nice one, Gerry. Lovely UI.

Nice one, Scott - bookmarked. Look forward to reading an experienced LiveCoder's views on building games on the LC platform.

No worries, Itay.

Hi Scott. Sounds like a really good idea. As an aspiring LiveCode games developer myself it'd be useful to read your and others thoughts on game optimization, best practices etc. I've also actually just started a dev blog focusing on the game I'm making with LC: http://jamieonkeys.tumblr.com/ Cheers...

Hi Itay, Have you set the accelleratedRendering custom property to true? on preOpenStack set the accelleratedRendering of this stack to true end preOpenStack Also, for controls that are going to be moving around, the Layer Mode property of said controls should be set to Dynamic (or Scrolling). This ...
