Re: Multiple use of bitmap images

Thankyou, Jacqueline - my challenge is that the images are being resized dynamically in response to an animation engine "constrain linear" function - but if memory is not likely to be a huge issue, it will be easier to used the naked images (not attached to buttons) - have gone through a further rou...

Re: Multiple use of bitmap images

Excellent - thankyou, Craig - won't locking prevent the resizing that will be necessary for an app to work on multiple devices? (but it will be a welcome change from having to resize upon reopening the stack! (I've taken to manually sizing every item by coding as a proportion of screen size, as it s...

Multiple use of bitmap images

Hello there I am wanting to use (and dynamically resize) multiple copies of an image (imported icon png file) as indicators of output scores: the larger the presented size of the on-screen image, the greater is the score for a particular variable. If I were to put a copy of the image on a separate s...

further update

Many thanks for the earlier help - the stack now comprises a number of cards, each servicing a page in the app - tracking well. Ahead, there is a significant challenge in terms of generating a page that draws input from all of the existing pages and integrates this with additional input scores to pr...

Re: referring to fields in a repeat loop

Hi Both - a quick update: the invaluable guidance you provided led yesterday to the compression of my stack from several hundred lines down to a hundred or so - a great step forwards. At this point, I have not yet ironed out all of the bugs - I expect that will be the focus of most of today - once I...

Re: referring to fields in a repeat loop

thankyou - I can follow the logic of each of the items that you have listed up here - I am afraid my main challenge is even more basic: let's say that there are to be seven elements in the array, ticon1 .... ticon7 how do I declare the array in such a way that a repeat loop responds to the presence ...

Re: referring to fields in a repeat loop

Aha - wonderful - thank you Shaosean! I am still not clear on the simple task of initially defining the keys of the array - will try to work that through in conjunction with the Dictionary and what you have suggested and let you know how I go

very best

referring to fields in a repeat loop

I have been reluctant to submit this most basic of questions but having spent the last few hours scouring all sources of information (and there seem to be quite a few), I have yet to identify a solution. I have referred to the User Guide, Dictionary, lessons, tutorials, rev online, conferences .... ...

Re: Angles

A quick update: have realized that most of my challenge remains in: 1 - having so many components in the pie - this may become more manageable when I have gained more expertise in managing arrays - for now, I'll revert to sliders and, if I can resolve question 2 below, to knobs 2 - how to avoid over...

Angles

Hello there - I've started out developing an adjustable pie graph in which an icon can be used to adjust the size of individual sectors by finger swipe - similar to the neat and elegant version reported by BvG in 2008 (my account does not yet enable me to provide the link). I was initially strugglin...
