Appcelerator App Designer assets path issue and RGBA

Question

I have an issue with Appcelerator App Designer. I have an image path in assets like app/assets/iphone/images/MainBG.png In xml i need to use path like /images/MainBG.png But App Designer set path like /iphone/images/MainBG.png that does not work when i run my app... Yes, i can change this path, but after that i cant see image in App Designer view.

And second question: App Designer cant use alpha... Yes, i can manualy set BGcolor like rgba(150,0,0,0.5) but in App Designer view i cant see result.

Can any one help me? Sorry for my English))

Answer 1

Though I have not used App Designer, but following might help you:

• put all your image files in app/assets/images folder
• now set path in XML like image='/images/MainBG.png'

Set background color manually, you can use following combos:

• you can use backgroundColor:"#fff"
• also you can use backgroundColor:"#ffffff"
• this one also works backgroundColor:"white"
• this one works for alpha - backgroundColor:"#abcd", in this syntax, alpha will be 'aa' & r/g/b will be bb/cc/dd.
• so this one will also work for alpha - backgroundColor:"#aabbccdd", 2 digits for each alpha/red/green/blue
