Do any of you guys know how to display an image in a screen, just an image where you will be able to pan and zoom? Thanks Alec Title Comments I am really sorry if I am making it hard for you guys, all my questions in the forum I'm sorry, As I go along I have many questions I can't just stop and think of lots of questions at once I hope you guys understand this.

I'm not sure 'where' you want an image; different screens have different properties. Most of the 'pan and zoom' is inherent in the device. At least, that's the way it seems on my tablet and phone. Have you tried just an HTML page with an image, and link it from an HTML Screen? <html> <head> <title>Image Check</title> <meta content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=2.0; user-scalable=1;" name="viewport" /> </head> <body> <img src="http://someplace.com/myimg.png" /> </body> </html> Hope this helps a little!

You'll find there is an answer for every teething issue on here, someone is always ready to jump in. Post as MUCH info as you can if you ask questions, you'll get faster responses and of course more detailed replies buddy. Everyone on here wants you to succeed so try not to be vague. I'd come to the same conclusion as the post above from your question. You'll get there, many have stumbled but buzztouch has a community like no other. Just try and put as much detail into questions as you can. Shout out if you need anything else my good man. Comments @SmugWimp makes a very valid point.

acschcs Lost but trying Posts: 118 Reg: Jan 16, 2013 United Kingdom 2,730	01/29/13 09:16 PM (11 years ago) Here is what I basically want to do 1st. Get the app to display an image on a format which is compatible and it doesn't matter what type of plugin as long it can display the image correctly. After, I then want to add background audio to it (which is tried to get this working allot of times before, no luck) and also be able to stop pause and play background audio with users decision. So, do I need to press the source code button for what you just typed here? Or just the normal text will understand it? This will work in off-line mode right?

For this example, use the 'Custom HTML/Text' 3) Paste the contents of this file into the screen, making sure you press 'source' so that you're editing the html source: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/115208762/imageaudio.html Add the files into your projects in accordance with the instructions from GoNorthWest: https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/Adding_Files_To_A_Project_v1.0.pdf And you 'should' be close to where you want to be. If not, stop by and let us know what is or isn't working the way you want. Feel free to experiment with things. Some of my best discoveries were accidental. :) Remember a couple of basic things: Although you may upload files to your BT Project, those files are not included as a part of your download package. You will still need to add icons, images, audio, and other items to your project. If you need 'offline' operation, resources such as images, audio, and other files need to be added to your project. As such, they are not 'dynamically updated' the way your BT configuration is. You'll still need to compile and run your app again, and reinstall your app again, if you add new files or change files, and wish to view the changes.

Does this mean I need to have self hosting?

Android supports midi files: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html And Ian seems to have found it to work on Android as well... http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=EA20A113ACB46BE85C1012F&fid=1A0BC2DCA1F04DB67238B9A&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=&currentPage=4 I can't find anything relating to iOS... With respect to file 'location', I've heard a few folks with issues finding the right path. I found this post by Fred from MySkylla (a BT Jedi) that explains a few things. Maybe it can help. http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=4B82AF632738E53302070EF&currentPage=101 Cheers! -- Smug Comments Well, you shouldn't have to self host... that's not really the problem.
