Hi,

I’m having problems with images in screen and button backgrounds.  
They don’t load neither in the test app nor in the Android and IOS compiled app.  
For me the only solution is inserting a timer and then setting the backgrounds. Is there any standard solution?

I think I’ve solved it.  
It didn’t have to do with resolution.  
It has to do with tasks done at screen start. It seems like loading the background image gets in conflict with any other task, maybe using the same resources.  
I solved it loading backgrounds at screen start and activating a timer that delays the execution of the other tasks. 100ms seems to be enough.  
Thank you very much!!!
