We use a flexible auto-resizing UI system which uses ViewportTop("layerName"), ViewportBottom("layerName"), ViewportLeft("layerName"), ViewportRight("layerName") to identify the screen coordinates with respect to our primary UI layer, then we subtract to get the screen size (HxW) and do some math to automatically resize & resposition all of our UI components every tick.

I could explain more, but if you really want, I will build you a quick example capx.

yes if you made a capx it will better for me to understand ...

but it seem that it will set size everytick . it will affect performance ? no ?

i just want to do it for 2 different layout

for the portrait mode i use layout size 640x960 and scale outer and it work good

but for landscape wich layout size and scale i use ?

You can simply make a check of the screen resolution to see which is a bigger number

if ViewportRight(0) > ViewportBottom(0), then you are playing in landscape

if its the opposite you are playing in portrait.

Then simply position your UI accordingly depending on which mode you are in.

If you are holding your phone in portrait, then ViewportRight(0) will be smaller than ViewportBottom(0)

Basically you use the browser "is portrait/landscape" events to determine which orientation the phone is is. Then move your UI elements accordingly.

The "Fullscreen in browser" option doesn't matter, so long as you keep it consistent throughout your mathematics. If you change it after manually scaling everything, it will throw off all of your numbers.
