Jangaroo on the Ipad

[Paul Tomlinson]

Hey Frank,

I just wanted to let you know that Jangaroo runs really well on the
iPad, both via Safari & Phonegap app.

The only issue I've had regards using bitmaps as event listeners -
pressing the bitmap often leads to a black line appearing across the
screen directly above the button.

To avoid this, I'm now using x & y coordinates of a screen press to
call the relevant function.

Great! Yes, of course! ;-) For anyone who doesn't believe this, try
http://www.jangaron.net/jumper/
A small Flixel demo game, (original here:
http://chipacabra.blogspot.de/2010/12/project-jumper-part-1.html)
optimized for iPad resolution and playable without keyboard (on-screen
"keys").
Looks best if you open the URL in Safari, then add an application
shortcut, then restart via home screen (note the nice icon!).

Actually, I never tried Jangaroo w/ Phonegap, would be great to have
an AS3
version of the Phonegap API!

Any idea what is causing this behavior? Could it have to do with
scrolling?

Well, if it works for you...

Awesome, would be great to see the results of your efforts online!

It's a project for a client, so you'll have to buy the app when it's
launched. Sorry!

I think this issue is related to the focusing of objects. By using the
stage as the main listener, the line appears at the top of the object.

I'm still struggling with the rescaling issue though.....

Hi Frank,

The line issue - which also materialised as an orange square on
Android - was resolved by this css statement on the stage div in
jooflash.html

-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);

Super!
I saw the same phenomenon in the Jangaroo Open Flash Chart demo
http://www.jangaroo.net/files/examples/flash/open-flash-chart/data-files/joo.html
so now I know how to fix it. Thanks!
