Hi all,

I just down loaded pageflip from http://www.iparigrafika.hu/pageflip and I am trying resize the default (300 x400) to 600 x 800.

It almost works.

I notice by hovering over the corners the opposite diagonal corner is also revealed. How can I prevent this?

1.

I tried to, but I can't get the results your describing, I hover over 1 corner, and its the only thing to move/change.

2.

Can't help there. Sorry. But I'd love to know as well, I've got a project coming up sometime in the semi near future that will require a pageflip site, possibly with different dimensions

I had the same problem and fixed it by resizing the shadows and masks that are on the stage. I did it a while ago and can't remember exactly which one it was that fixed it, but resizing those elements will eliminate the corner clipping effect.

tx for the tips.

@miah8000, with some trial and error I am resizing the shadows and masks in layer "pages", right? Still with no luck.

It's a bit frustrating :(

As an example of the sizes I am talking about, I open up the pages object on the pages layer. My finished page size (onscreen) is 450x600 and I was getting clipping.

Here are the sizes of all the different layers (this took some trial and error to get right)

Mask layer-pgmask 500x350
Page grad layer - pgrad 150x1687
mask layer - mask 1000x1800
Pages - p4 500x350
pages at back - same as pages
large cover - same as pages

I resized the elements inside the pages object as opposed to scaling the page object on the stage.

I hope this works for you, I just happened to make it work out after i couldn't get any other suggestions.
