cant you make parts of an image clickable on MIT App Inventor 2?

[Lindi janse van rensburg]

Hi 

I need to make parts of an image clicable to open another screen but I am struggling to create it? I laid down the picture I need clickable parts on and tried to put buttons over the clickable parts I want but the buttons doesn't want to go over the picture and also will not sit randomly on the picture it always goes to the top left corner or middle whatever you choose.

Please help

Thank you

Lindi

Use a canvas component and a picture on that canvas. If you click on it, the event will tell you where the click was and you can react accordingly.

Or you can put the image as the Screen background, or arrangement background, then you can overlay transparent buttons, and use labels to assist with placement

Beware - you only get 10 screens, so reuse what you have by swapping different images

and hidden Vertical Arrangements.

See the Screens section of FAQ

How do I get labels to assist with the transparent buttons?
