That's funny.

Hi Everyone, I was doing lesson 7 (User interface resizing) from the Business Academy. When clicking the "Run" tool it works well. When I test it in the iPad simulator and change the screen orientation, controls don't resize or stick to the edge of the screen as they did with the "Run" tool. Is the ...

Hi Everyone, After reading replies to other posts I placed regarding going into background mode and playing an audio mp3 file, I was directed to read: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/iphone/conceptual/iphoneosprogrammingguide/ManagingYourApplicationsFlow/ManagingYourApplication...

Thanks Craig,

I also found by transferring the code from preOpenStack to preOpenCard there is no lockup.

Thanks everyone for the helpful replies.

Hi Carig, I tried it but the image is not filling the entire group. It fills the width but not the height. I used this coding: on preOpenCard put screenrect() into theScreenSize set the width of group "big ben group" to word 1 of item 3 of the field "theScreenSize" set the height of group "big ben g...

I just realized that coding lock up the app!

The group resized nicely but I don't know what adding those lines of code lock up the app because commenting them out allows the app to run.

screenrect worked perfectly for me. put screenrect() into theScreenSize set the width of group "big ben group" to word 1 of item 3 of the field "theScreenSize" set the height of group "big ben group" to word 1 of item 4 of the field "theScreenSize" Is there a way to scale the image inside the group ...

Hi Everyone,

Can you show me the coding needed to scale an image to fit the dimensions of a group?

I'm not concerned with aspect ratio but would like the image to fill the entire space of the group.

Thanks.

Thanks Klaus.

Hi Everyone, Since there are several possible apple ios screen sizes, I would like to find out how to determine what the height and width of the device screen size is. This will help me to resize images, groups, etc. based on what the device is since I don't know what the user installs the app onto....

Hi Simon,

Thanks. I will experiment with the local notifications. I hope when the app wakes up it won't display any kind of dialog box.

For now I'm experimenting with MergBgTask. It allowed me to update labels but did not play the sound file so I'm still going to experiment with it for awhile.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I read the document and see it's almost like Android. I did some Android apps using basic4android and that supports putting an app in the background. I was hoping to duplicate one of my popular Android apps in LiveCode but it looks like I can't do apps like the many clock a...

This will be my first app with LiveCode.

Hi everyone, I would like to play an mp3 file after I place the app into background mode. This file will need to be played once every hour on the hour. Someone told me I need to use something called UIBackgroundModes but I don't know anything about how to do that. Can you reply with a sample stack t...
