How Do I Overscan??(Make my game fit for all iPhones)

jblb2424

Hello :P

Recently i have been trying to make my game able to fit for both the iphone 5 and other iPhones/ipods. However, everything that i have been doing simply is not working. I know gamesalad cookbook has an overscanning video online, but for me the video did not help resolve the issue even though i followed the steps correctly. So can anybody help me out and let me know how to overscan so i can finally publish my game? Thanks!

Thanks a bunch for that download, but in my game i already have SO many actors that placing code in each tiny actor would take a horrible amount of time. As uptimisk said, it would of been best to work with overscan from the start...but i started my game when iphone 5 wasn't around. However, i do not have any camera control behaviors in my game and no nonscrollable layers, as my game is more puuzzle like and does not move around. So is there any way i can overscan with successful results still? If worse comes to worse, would i be able to publish my game on the legacy iphones exclusively? Thanks so much for you guys help to far!
