I would really like to know how to go about creating startup or “splash” screens for my MobiOne apps. Practically every iPhone app has such a screen, so I’d like to be able to build one into mine.

Thanks!

Greetings!

Are there any video tutorials that demonstrate how to create and use the app icon and startup screen?

Thanks,

Greetings!

I just attempted to access the tutorial regarding how to create splash/startup screens in my MobiOne apps, and I got Error 404. Here’s the link I tried: http://www.genuitec.com/mobile/docs/spl … eIcon.html

Could someone repost that tutorial?

Thanks!

Thanks to everybody for helping me with the startup screen question. I’ve bookmarked the tutorial and am going through it. I guess my question right now is: How does one animate the startup screen so that it displays for a few second and then opens the main page of the app? What are the “mechanics” involved? Does it require a JavaScript?

Thanks again…

Another question –

First, I have uploaded my app as it exists so far to my iPhone, and the process works exactly as advertised, including the icon!
Really awesome!

Second, although I’m still trying to figure out how to get the startup screen automated (see last post), I find that, when the app starts, the graphic I’m using gets stretched, and the text below and the “Go” button do not display for a few seconds as the app loads.

Does anyone know why that is happening? Could it be because I’m using an incorrect size for the graphic?

Anyway, I’m just wondering if anybody else has encountered this issue.

Many thanks again for an outstanding product!

The start up screen will automatically open briefly if you have configured the “start up screen” option correctly on the home page of your app.
If you do not want your images stretched, tick ‘keep aspect ratio’ option in the items properties.

[b]Mr Stickleback! YOU ARE AWESOME! THANKS FOR THE TIP![b]

Hmmm. Perhaps I was a bit too premature with my last comment. Oddly enough, even though I checked the “keep aspect ratio” checkbox, when I start up my app on my iPhone, the jpeg image still elongates for a second or two and the text items on the screen don’t display. This happens only when the app is loading, though. After the app is loaded (that is, the little gear wheel disappears), then the page displays properly.

Hi Bill,

It’s a little bit unclear for us what you are doing. We need to see an example project with all resources and info about device/platform version to be able to say anything.

Hey Bill…. no you were quite right I am awesome, at least I think I am, others would disagree.
First point is don’t use jpg’s, use 24 bit png’s. I don’t think it will make any difference to this particular problem but they will look better!
It sounds to me like you haven’t got your start up screen right being as that will only display briefly before the app starts. The image needs to be 768×1004 for IP4 I think. Sounds like the start up screen is stretching but the app is not.
It would be easier to help if you attached your app files as Octavio said.

Stickleback:

You ARE awesome!

I did replace the jpg with a png file, but the same thing happens.

More later…after some more cogitation and experimentation on my part.

Bill
