EDIT:
P.S guys i just went PRO today, congratulations to me

Used TSB's Multiscreen guide, worked perfect.

1 issue:

my screen size is 320x960, portrait of course, so i have 2 320x480 images on the screen, one:

image 1: X: 160, Y:720
image 2: X 160, Y:240

dead in the middle, at Y:480, there appears to a 1 pixel gap, from X:0 - X:320, viewing the app on the mac, it is not visible. however on my iphone, there it is, whilst scrolling down the page, it flickers, when i stop scrolling, it flickers slower before promptly stopping, sometimes removing the gap leaving what should be there (the background), sometimes it leaves the line gap there.

ive tried moving the two images closer, such as:
image 1: Y:241
image 2: Y:719

aswell as moving them further apart just for pure chance.

no difference/improvement, the two images are infact touching, there is NO gap, yet on the iphone it appears from no-where, 1 pixel thick, flickers on scroll. i have absolutely no idea what is causing it, my app is ready for release but im waiting on a fix for this problem as it looks strange/unprofessional. yet another weird thing is 1 scene doesnt have this problem, the other 3 scenes do when they are all identical to each other just different pictures with the same background.

any idea?

@0belisk , it would be easier if you provided a screen shot or a video

@Obelisk … I too find this most frustrating … also remembering the camera origin is not the middle of the scene but at 0,0; 0,320 etc.!

while the image has its dpi color-fill fixed … its pixel X,Y points can be whole positive numbers with or without decimal places
Try 719.5 for a Y value ???

mayhap it is a blender mode problem ???
you could try variant blending modes under the actor's graphics

Or … you could add 1 transparent pixel row at the top and/or bottom of the image … (just increase the images Canvas size 1 and center the image)

if you do find something that works … please let us know!

Here's the problem. For some reason in GS if you have two images next to each other that do not have any transparent pixels you get that line. So what you need to do is put at least one transparent pixel in the image. It's super annoying I know. Here's what I do go into photoshop and use the rectangular marquee tool and set it to 320x481. Then copy the left half into a new photoshop file, erase the top right pixel and save it as a png. Now do the same thing with the right half of the original large image and erase the bottom left pixel and save as a png. Now put these into GS and they should overlap by one pixel column. This should get rid of the line.
