Question

Responsive html5 animation not scaling to fit on mobile

I am very sorry, I am sure this is a stupid question, but I just can't seem to figure it out.

 

I have made a looping animation in Adobe Animate. I have gone into the publish settings and given it these settings:

 

I want it to fill the vertical dimension of whatever window I have the browser set to including the mobile window.

 

On desktop it looks great and acts as expected:

on mobile it does not:

Nevermind that it is not centered, it is not scaling to vit the vertical dimension. There is a whole bunch of white space at the bottom.

 

I have tried changing all of those publish settings and nothing is working. Interestingly it shows the animation correctly for a quarter of a second before resizing it to this incorrect view. What am I doing wrong?

 

Thank you for any help that you can provide! Adobe Animate version 23.0.3

    Hmm, try adding the following meta tag to your head tag?
    <meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=yes, width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0">

    that fails with a desktop browser.

    I am now trying to take away the responsiveness in publish settings and see if I let squarespace handle that if it will work better.

    it'll be a guaranteed mess if they're both resizing

    I can't help, but just wanted to say:

     

    What a beautiful, cozy scene!

    Very nice color and designs!

    Don't all speak at once! 

    I don't know if my question is just really stupid, and Iam approaching this all wrong, or if nobody actually knows. I can't believe that nobody actually knows because this must be something that everybody is doing all of the time. If i am doing this in a wrong way could someone please enlighten me?

     

    In the meantime I did a test and made a test file with the same dimensions as my animation. It is still being cropped off at the same vertical point.

     

     

     

    Then I changed the file and added a bunch of space to the vertical parameter at the bottom. It actually scales down smaller and crops off at the same point as before:

    So I am still completely flummoxed.

    i think you have to hand code your app or setlle for close.

    Do you know the right way to do something like this? Should I have a separate mobile version of the scene? What is happening that it is getting cut off like this? I just want a full screen version of the scene on mobile!

    The document dimensions are 1024x768 if that matters.
