How do I Only scale the width of layouts?

Hi constructors,

I do my first experience with construct 2. ...

How do I scale the width of layouts?

On System Event there is only a scale action for layouts. But I want only scale the width.

if you look under the project properties. click "view" and you'll see "Fullscreen in browser". scale inner is good to fill vertically, scale outer is good for making a project fill from left to right.. but scaling things.

Letterbox scale is the default which enforces the aspect ratio. I don't really know the exact breakdown of each of the other modes, but they should be in the manual.

Hope that helps.

Thx but this is not exactly what I wanted.

More Informations:

I develop a iOS APP, for iPhone. Window Size: 1136,640 (iPhone 5)

My Layout Size is 6656,640. Now I want a scalebar to zoom in and zoom out.

So I want to scale the width of layout between 1136 and 6656.

(1/6656*1136). But only the width.

Also: I want to set the position at runtime.

yea I'm not sure about that. what are you trying to achieve? i read it that you want to basically see a normal 1136x640 view to squeezing in 6656 pixels of information also into the same 1136 view creating a squishing effect?

Yes. Only a horizontal (width) zooming and scrolling engine. For example a piano. There you can zoom out to see all keys (the whole layout width is shrinked) Or you zoom in and see 100% size of keys.

maybe you need to just dynamically change the graphics themselves.. create the illusion of panning.. if all of the graphics are perhaps modified by a common global var.. then you could shrink/expand/move-left-more-right.
