How do I make 'normal' sized components in Starling's Feather framework when working with FlashDevelop

My current setup is as follows:

  • FlashDevelop
  • Starling (1.3 latest from Github, req. by Feathers)
  • Feathers

I'm building the simple hello world example, as seen here but the components are appearing extremely small (see image below).

I have also checked out the FAQ which describes the issue, but I can't seem to get the fix to work (as I'm not working within the AIR environment, I just want to publish to standard ol' SWF). See the second last question/answer here

Solution

  • I found this somewhat hidden gem (by going through some examples):

    DeviceCapabilities.dpi = 90*3;

    This does the job - I have no idea why the right value seems to be my screen DPI multiplied by 3, but it's spot on .
