LiveCode Forums.

Hello, I coded a native scroller (lorem) for my group that has an large image using Livecode "8.1". It runs smoothly on android tablet. The issue comes in when I add a background button and fill in with imported png image on separate card. Then it freeze. I am not used to building for mobile.

Is there a trick or something I have to do in order to get this working smoothly again. I prefer to use my imported background images for my button (background). I traced it down to this because I change the background to a solid color and it works fine again.

Thanks for any help.

I'm not quite sure how the button is involved, but in general a scroller requires acceleratedRendering to be turned on, and the group's layermode should be set to "scrolling".

Thanks jacque for responding. The button is just functions as background with controls in front of it. I included a very simple script to show you what I mean by imported background img.

Thanks

I don't usually download files from the forum (screenshots are better) because typically I'm not at my computer when I visit the forums. Regardless of the setup though, I think you do need to experiment with acceleratedRendering and layerMode. Those properties were made specifically to allow smooth animations and scrolling.

There is no script anywhere in that example stack?

Thanks Klaus, yes there is no script there. I was just trying to answer the question regarding "how the button is involved". Sorry to confuse.

OK, but that may have shown a problem, which I cannot see in the moment.

Hello, apologize for late reply, I believe it is the android tablet I am using. It is low-level and just can't keep up with the image loading/rendering. Thanks for your help though.
