screen too small?

Having a problem getting my background to fit inside the screen real estate. See picture. Everytime I test it shows just like I have created in the attached picture. The background is too big and shows part of my image only. How to fix this?

Try to scale or cit it to your screen size, use an image editor like photoshop, to make that.

Thank you for the response, but it did not work. I may just stop using Stencyl.....It has been a few weeks and Im just getting too frustrated with little idiosyncrasies like this. It should not be difficult to get a background to display correctly on the screen, but apparently it is.

Its supposed to scale to fit the screen but it does not.....

Im either doing something wrong or the software is faulty....Wish I could get it to work, though, I don't care about looking stupid if I can get it to work, but I don't see a solution for this......sad 


Thanks anyway for responding.

Does it display correctly in Stencyl?

no...

As far as I know there is no 'auto fit to screen size' for any background you desire.
Just make a background that covers iPad, make a scene that's big enough and center your camera in the middle.
This does not look like 'stencyl' limitation but incorrect assumptions.

You may also switch from 'background' to spawning an actor at bottom layer on scene creation. This way you can re-size that actor to whatever dimension you wish.

I watched a stencyl video on youtube where the guy made a background 1600 x something else (dont remember exact dimension, just remember his image was 1600 pixels wide...), and he got his image to appear properly on render. Although he was rendering to flash player, Im attempting to use iOS simulator. Anyway, I follow the same directions in the video to no avail.

 I also checked what appeared to be a stencyl blog post on this site, and it talked about scaling images to dimensions, and after completing it step by step....The same problem resides...What shall I do? Quit Stencyl and find different software solution?. No matter what I do, there is always a problem with the background. Either it shows a part of the image because the image is so big or it shows the image for my background as being too small.....Im at an impasse (so to speak)....
