Scaling mobile app works fine on the X but not on the Y

I originally made my app to work for iphone only but I am now scaling it to work on Ipad/ Android etc. I am doing all the scaling manually. It is a tabbed application.
I am scaling all x and y locations and widths and heights by a scale factor that is created using..
scaleFactorX = stage.width/320;
scaleFactorY = stage.height/480;
It works perfectly on the x but not quite enough on the y as objects look a little squashed vertically.
I can't think why this is. If I were to alter the y scalefactor it would put things out when at the original phone size.
The only part I'm not scaling manually is the actionBar and the bottom tabs. They are currently using default skins which use the DPI classification to determined size. I have however overridden this and set the action bar to use a skin with a much greater layoutContentGroupHeight. This hasn't however had any effect on the y scaling of objects in the main display area.
The y scale isn't out by much, but it bothers me. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Android App - works fine in Device Central but not in phone

Greetings!
Just looking for some general "you might try this" tips. I've built a very basic game app for Android so I can start learning not only how to develop for Android, but also how to publish and distribute Android apps to users.
My game works fine when I test in Device Central from Flash. And I've been able to upload my app to the Android Market. But when I install and run on my Android phone (I've actually tested on two separate devices), I just get a light yellow screen with a series of tiny dots that move across the screen, almost like a loading indicator, but nothing happens after that.
I've tried publishing as both an Air (Air 2) file and a Flash (Flash 10) file. In device central, I tested the app on a Droid Incredible emulation. The devices I've tested on are an HTC Inspire (AT&T) and an HTC Thunderbolt (Verizon).
So, I know there's no way for someone to take my limited description above and say "this is your problem". Again, I'm just hoping for some general tips along the lines of "try publishing in a different version of Flash".
Any suggestions for where I should start digging?
Thanks in advance!
Joel

Sign out of the store on your phone, then sign back in. Note having content from more than one country's store may complicate the process of updating apps and downloading past purchases.

App working fine in debug mode but not otherwise on iPad

Hi everyone,
Sorry if I am putting this question in wrong section, this seems to be the most relative location to ask question.
My Problem:
I have developed an app using Adobe Air and starling. App is working perfectly when I run on Flash Builder (debug and run both). When deploying on iPad at one particular location, it is either not getting TouchPhase.ENDED or some code is crashing.
I tried to debug while running app on iPad and its working absolutely fine. But when I create the ipa file normally i.e. without debug mode, at a particular location code is not working.
Please help me out in this regard, asap. I need to deliver it.
Please!!!!
Thanks

How do I send group emails from my iPad? They work fine from my MacBook but not the iPad.

How do I send group emails from an iPad? They work fine on my MacBook but not my iPad.

You need a third party app to do that. Look at Mail Shot or Group Email in the app store. You cannot do it with the built in mail app and the contacts app in iOS 5 without a third party app.

I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hard drive. I have converted some of my AVI movies to mp4 and transferred them to the hard drive, but when I play them through my iPad 2 I can hear the sound but not see the movie. Help???

I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hardrive , i have converted some of my AVI movies to MP4 and loaded them onto the hard drive, when I try and play them through my I pad2 I can hear the sound of the movie but not see the film, somebody please help, what am I doing wrong as I have spent a lot of time converting these movies to be able to travel with my iPad and watch them. Thank you

Unfortunately, the drive is pretty much restricted without hacking it. That is, you can't stream its content via standardized protocols like UPnP, SMB, FTP and the like. This makes you won't be able to access its content from any third-party apps otherwise capable of playing back AVI files from UPnP / SMB / FTP / WebDAV etc. sources.
While this is certainly not a recommendation (I can in no way be held responsible if anything goes wrong): you may want to consider extending the capabilities of the drive by installing the hack: http://www.hackseagatesatellite.com/wordpress/welcome/
It'll "open" the drive for third-party, AVI-capable multimedia apps like GoodPlayer, It's Playing etc. to directly play the files over the network.

As for tracking the source of your problem your applet sucks.
Try e.printStackTrace() on a cought exception and check the (full) trace.
url=new URL("http://www.developpez.com");
Unless yor applet is on www.developpez.com this will throw an exception in an unsigned
applet without special policies.

BDC with call transaction VD02 works fin in A mode but not in N mode

Hi All,
I have BDC program developed in 4.6c using call transaction VD02 works fine with mode A but not with mode N.
Now we upgraded to ECC 6.0.Do I need to change anything?

No, you don't have to change anything for ECC. BTW, I wonder why VD02 is not working in the background for you?

The autofill feature worked on my iPad 2, but not on the New iPad. Anyone know why?

The autofill feature worked on my iPad 2, but not on the New iPad. Anyone know why?

Go to Settings>Safari>Auto Fill>On .... Names and Passwords>On .... Use Contact Info>On. Make sure that your contact information is correct.
Then quit Settings and Safari completely and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
See if that helps.

My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters are showing up as green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC.

My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters, specifically parameters, are showing up green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC. I can manually fix this in the TOC by changing the character style to none after the toc has been generated, but I don't want to do this.

What application are you running? Please ask this in the forum of the product you're using.

The scroll function on my mousepad is disabled when viewing a pdf file in firefox version 5.0. The scroll works on the pdf, but not on the other tabs. When the pdf is closed, the scroll function returns to normal. Any ideas?!

Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
Cheers again..

Hi
In iChats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to 500.
Restart iChat.
