Automatic Screen Scaling

DRS

Hello,
I have a problem with Automatic Screen Scaling on a Galaxy SIII with scalemode "letterbox"
The position of in this case textwrap2 is outside the box i want to place it in.
I also have this with the listview component.
What can i do?
I have attached an example screenshot of my phone.

Thanks in advance.

@DRS yes letterbox scales to fit dimensions into the screen and leaves out the whitespaces.
If you want to draw the line around whole screen together with whitespaces, you should use absolute positioning, which can be done by calculating offsets:

Thanks for the reply
I understand and have read this.
Only this are two existing objects (shape & textwrap) and they go outside there boundaries.
How can I solve that?
I cannot trust the coordinates or am I missing something?

@DRS sorry I was very sleeping when I was writing it yesterday

What I meant was, you can draw the shape around the test with offsets , like this:

--calculating offsets local dx = application:getLogicalTranslateX() / application:getLogicalScaleX() local dy = application:getLogicalTranslateY() / application:getLogicalScaleY() local dwidth = dx + application:getContentWidth() local dheight = dy + application:getContentHeight()   --draw shape with offsets local shape = Shape.new() shape:setLineStyle(1, 0x000000, 1) shape:beginPath() shape:moveTo(-dx,-dy) shape:lineTo(-dx, dheight) shape:lineTo(dwidth, dheight) shape:lineTo(dwidth, -dy) shape:lineTo(-dx, -dy) shape:endPath() stage:addChild(shape)
