I created an interactive kitchen all within the skin editor (see link below). I love the way the skin editor works but it may be that I'm using the software for something it wasn't necessarily designed for. The problem with what I've created is that it dose not resize so it crops off most of the image on an iPhone. Any suggestions?

HI John,
In my last post to you I wrote use the images as Flat input images.
They will then open for the screen viewing them.

Thank you for that info and it did work for that project and very helpful. However, this is a different project and I have over 125 images that are laying on top of each other. So as far as I can tell everything has to be built in the skin editor. Am I correct?

Hi,
It will depend on your images, if you swopping out each image and each image is the same size then it should be ok to use them as flat input images.
However if you are using PNG files and only changing parts of the one image then no, you'll need the skin editor.
That said you can use the external loader and set its size to percentage, again as long as the images are the same size.

I have some buttons and panels that slide off screen and back again depending on the buttons picked. However, when viewing the project in a browser I can see everything off stage. This is a problem when sending the client a proof. Is there a way to hide everything off stage? Either by forcing the browser to only fit around the canvas or hide everything outside of the canvas. Is that an easy fix?

Thanks,
John

Hi John,
This sound very odd, the skin editor represents the stage, if something is off stage you should not be able to see it in the output.
Can you post a green shot to help better understand what you're seeing.

Hi Hopki,

Please see the attached image. It shows the interface swatch panel outside the stage area (right side) in my browser.

Hi,
Have you set up margins in the skin editor?
If so then this is why you can see the skin elements.
Remove all margins.

My margin is equal to 0,0,0,0. see attached. Should it be set to something else?
