layout.LayoutPreserver having problems in scaling ! about advanced-layout HOT 12 CLOSED

Hmm... I may have omitted a step. Does this help?

view = new LanguageScreenBase();
Layout.setStageBaseDimensions(Std.int(view.width), Std.int(view.height));
addChild(view);
view.preserveChildren();

from advanced-layout.

thank you for the quickest reply i am able to get the correct size of the container but the objects aren't in the middle .

from advanced-layout.

also i forgot to mention the resolution i am using in flash - is 1280 x 720.

Edit:
i thought may be if i convert all name and label to movie clips but it won't work.
then i tested with the single object in the middle and it is scaling and positioning perfectly.

but when i added more objects it lost positions.

Well, it's an improvement. I'll add that to the instructions.

In the meantime, can you check the exact width and height of each object? One of them might be wider than the rest of the screen, messing up the calculation of where the center is.

from advanced-layout.

there is a bg layer filled with a white shape for the container : 1280 x 720.
and after the bg the biggest one is this title Movieclip : 653 x 66

i traced out every objects width and height in the console .

if i load it using responsive and on 1388 x 905 it seems closer to correct.

but when i modify the resolution to other it looses

I guess my "intelligent" algorithm is even less intelligent than I thought. I'll have to look into it later.

Until I fix this, you'll just have to spell out where things should go:

//Preserving the background works fine.
//(I assume that's at index 0.)
view.getChildAt(0).preserve();

//Everything else should stay near the center.
for(i in 1...view.numChildren) {
    view.getChildAt(i).stickToCenter();
}

I found the fix : [it still needs to be fixed because if you notice it is pressing the height, but i am good with the current result, will do some hacks to make it look not pressed].

i just switched to view.preserve(); and it just scales everything correct [except height] and maintain the children's positions too.

how ever i still have an option to create the whole layout using LayoutCreator which works good but that is really a lengthy process for me to tackle every asset from the library. [i used that in my last game].

this game have allot of screens and i am trying to save my time :D anyways if you need more tests i will try my best to provide results.

thanks

view = new LanguageScreenBase();
Layout.setStageBaseDimensions(Std.int(view.width), Std.int(view.height));
addChild(view);
//view.preserveChildren();
view.preserve();

trying your fix !

the only thing worked is view.preserve();

Update
Result with : the new fix

Any chance you can send me the assets for this screen so I can play around with them?
