Hi all
Well this one slipped under the radar . . .
You can now define custom sized interfaces in the editor...
AND the app will enact native scrolling via sidebars!!!!
Yes they do take up a dozen pixels or so but you get that . .

This gives us an easy way of making scrolling interfaces, and opens up some interesting possibilities...
As well as the current selectable interfaces, or tabs, or scripted scrolling/tabs etc
I wonder if any of it is exposed to script control???

Thanks Liine ...
Sorry
Go to the pull down for project size - i.e. iPad, iPhone etc
Bottom of list is new entry "Manage" - Click that ..
In new window name and setup required size

helpful hint - I think the scrollbars are 14 px wide . . .

Enjoy . . .
Cheers Macca! :)

A slight failure of terminology in the thread title methinks - since adding a new 'page' defaults to 'Interface', and the API uses 'selectinterface' . . . naturally I was looking for it somewhere in the treeview, right-clicking these etc.

[edit]

Also . . . as a feature it's a bit all-or-nothing - it would definitely be preferable to have this definable on a per-page basis, as it doesn't play well with multi-page templates. That is of course, unless it can be scripted to do so - ie: when scrolled, one can pop back to a defined position on switching pages. Or something along those lines.

That said, I'm sure it will be a welcome addition for many.
But I digress ...
What's in a name ? As they say ...

Yeah as I said, it is a quick and easy no- code way of doing it if that what you want ...
I guess it has always been there, ie when viewing iPad size on iPhone, just expanded a bit now ...
And yes the greater value I see is getting some code hooks into making programmer control better ...
Currently with the right page sizes some pretty good stuff is possible imho ...
Cheers

Continue on as you were . . .
my guess is that you can't change it. And my experience is that it is too small for real-world usage. Better use the native resolution and create your own scroll bar or container tab or interface tab or Gesture object or Canvas object scroll thing.
