Positioning Actors for iPhone5/Legacy

I'm wanting to position an actor so it is always at the bottom of the screen (in portrait mode).

How can I do this so it works for both iPhone 5 and Legacy iPhone? I thought maybe I'd use game.Screen.Size.Height - but it appears that this doesn't actually represent the physical device's screen size, it seems to just be set by the games settings.

Any suggestions?

    I'm thinking we need some kind of rule like [if device.legacy = true : do this] but I don't see anything like that...

    Use Device>Screen>Size. I use these two rules:

    Check if iPhone legacy
    if game.Screen.Size.Width = 480
    do something

    Check if iPhone 5
    if game.Screen.Size.Width = 568
    do something

    That's what I thought too, but in my testing it was showing that screen width was 568 no matter what. Maybe this is a problem with preview? I didn't try it on a device....

    I just checked on a device, and even on my 3GS the width still comes across as 568.
    Back to square one?

    Weird. I got 568 on my iPhone 5 and 480 on 3GS. Try using height instead of width.

    If it is portrait then it is height you check probably....interesting question.

    Are you using game salad viewer, or actually publishing it with testflight or something?
