Mouse events outside stack bounds on mobile

[Colin Holgate]

showAll doesn’t just center things and reveal extra content, it also scales the stack to fill the screen, no matter what size it is.

You would have thought that if the background image is an object with a script in it, the touches would register. Maybe you’re using a non-control background image?

noBorder might have a better chance, because everything you see is within the card area. I don’t see why a card or stack script would fail to pick up touches.

Do the touches respond if you don’t have the background images?

The easiest way to do this would be to have all your controls in a group, if that's possible.

For example, the normal stack in the IDE is 414 pixels wide. On the iPhone simulator, there are perhaps 20-30 pixels outside that boundary on the edges.
