H.D.I calculate the absolute position relative to the canvas

Hi Folks,

I use the following simple formular to calculate the absolute positon of a touch relative to the size of the canvas window:

Touch.AbsoluteX/(WindowWidth/1280)[/code:8fkdz5tq]

(my project is 1280 px width)

which works like a charm on my desktop in every possible window size! 

the problem is it does not work on mobile! for example if i test on my z1 compact (which has a 1280px width screen) the most right position is displayed with 640. which is exact halv.  but the formular should return 1280/(1280/1280) = 1280!
i am helpless here <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad"> ive get similar results if i test on my s2... but on desktops i can resize windows as i want, everything gets calculated fine with every windowsize...

Kind Regards

as i couldnt find a solution i replaced the slider with 2 buttons and simple is in touch... but i would to know if there is an solution for future projects

Couldn't you just use touch.X instead of converting touch.absoluteX?

Touch.x gives you the x on the layout.

You can also use Touch.X("layer") to get an x relative to a layer. If you want a position on a hud layer that doesn't scroll, this would do it.

If you're intent on finding why

Touch.AbsoluteX/(WindowWidth/1280) is equal to 640 instead of 1280, take a look at the values of Touch.AbsoluteX and WindowWidth. It could be a high dpi feature of your mobile or something of that effect. There's a project setting for that that you could probably fiddle with.

R0J0hound Touch.X("layer") that would have been the solution! didnt know about this function though

Thank you so much for helping me out here!

Kind regards
