Changing Display Size in Scene Attributes
Hello,
I have been watching TShirtBooth's YouTube tutorials on creating multiscreen menus and initially attempted to follow along. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to change the display size in the scene attributes area. TShirtBooth has set the height at 640 but has doubled the width in order to allow scrolling. When I attempt the same thing, the display figures are grey'ed out. I have tried changing the product to iPad, but that gives me 1024 (too big). When I choose iPhone landscape it gives me 480, which is too small.
How do you manually change the size of your product and/or scene?
NOTE:
I am brand new to GameSalad. Thus far, I am enjoying exploring the breadth of knowledge shared in these forums and also on YouTube. I have a bit of an internet-handicapped as I live in China and so all social-networking is blocked by the government. This means that I have no access to GSHelper, even with a VPN. This sadly means that I can't get any help such as, "Pop over to GSHelper for some great tutorials..." Unfortunately I am GSHelper-less.
Thanks for your help,
Amy

Can I ask another quick question? Do you know where we can find the tutorial images that go with the official GameSalad 10 part tutorial? According to YouTube, it says to go to the GameSalad tutorials page to get them but I am unable to find them. I did a search of the forums and found someone else also asked the same question, but couldn't find the files from the answer given.
You can not change the scene size in Game Attributes… that is really the device's Display Size
--Changes to scene size you do in Scene Attributes …
Inspector ............(Game|Scene)
you really should do Getting Started in the Cookbook
GameSalad is easy … but you need to learn where things are
Good that you are working with Tshirtbooth's videos
Another good beginner's series: Tatiang's videos for his students
and, Game Salad's demos/templates are on the first screen that you see when you open GameSalad … NEW
Enjoy yourself! … we all had to learn were all the good things are hidden!

Does it means we must work with high res images that will only take shape when implemented in the iphone, or have we to work with low res images without being able to do anything about it?
When I changed the scene size within the scene inspector, it didn't change the display size.
Thank for your help.
