Rectangles pinned to flexible, fully-window image?

guess it’s not possible using your setup …

this is not possible in this version of hype. i got the same problem, when i wanted to scale a grid of rectangles.
either the grid superimposes, when i view it on large screens, or it disappears viewing on smartphones.

EDIT: the only solution i used was to create 3 different layouts for the grid.

Oh really, bummer. This is what I wanted to achieve. Does anyone have an update on a strategy for layout like this?

Apologies, @graphicseditor, this will be easier in the next update. I’ll update this thread when it’s available.

Oh cool. Do you have any idea of when we might expect the update? :smile:

Hype 3.5 makes this possible:

Here’s how to scale several items proportionally. First, add them to a group, and set these properties on the group:

(Make sure you have at the minimum ‘width’ scaling checked in the Scene inspector first)

That is really great!

Can’t wait to put it into action.

It’s not working! This is getting frustrating.

  1. Grouped all contents, in Metrics mimicked above demo (do you click “Constrain ratio”?
  2. In Scene I clicked Scale 100% next to Width (not Height, only want width to scale)

Not working, what am I missing?

Did you check that this is enabled?

what is that? In the Document section I can’t find anything referring to width scaling, can you throw me a screenshot or be more specific? Thanks!

Apologies, I meant ‘scene inspector’

Yup, have that checked. Is the idea that I make this the largest size that it will go to and then it just only shrinks? The EA version did both, but this only goes down in size.

To clarify, this will expand past the defined width (disregard my earlier reply)

hmmm, it doesn’t, check out example here…

width is set at 800px, will not go larger than that.

It looks like your Hype document is becoming as wide as the window, but maybe your elements aren’t scaling up? If you can share your document that would be great.

I’ll PM it to you.

Hi! I have exactly the same problem as @gthroop . I also used to work with EA and I was so easy there that I can’t believe is so complicated in Hype. Did you find the solution? There must be something I’m missing.

Are you trying to do something like this?

Not exactly. This example you sent only would work for iframes bigger that the background image (>900px) but not under it. My question, and I think @gthroop’s also, and probably anyone who used EA before Hype, is how is possible that in EA you only have to click one box and no matter the size of the iframe the content will fill the 100%, and in Hype becomes something so complicated. I’m still hoping that is my fault, that I’m missing something very very obvious.
