I'd like to create an app which has images in it that are interactive, i.e. that the user can tap on a portion of it and that portion gets shaded. The images are pretty large and would need to be zoomed in and out and scrolled around. Does anyone know if that's possible and how I'd go about doing it (or give me some hints as to where to find the information that could send me on the right track?) Title Comments Hi.

I want the section of the image to just get something like a grey overlay on it,no to link out to another URL, but couldn't see how to do that. Also, Each image would have something like 1000 small clickable squares, so this level of manual entry is probably not reasonable. Any other ideas? Comments Hi Raveyd, thanks for the link.

That was just an example, there may be other similar tools that will do what you want. I'm sure someone will post if they know of any. Comments 1000?!?! Not the best idea then!

What I'd like is for this to happen: 1. An image with, say, a grid on it (the grid though isn't blank, it is an image in itself) 2. That the user can touch the screen and colour in individual squares on the grid 3. That these coloured in squares are saved for the user (they need to be able to build on it) The initial image is large, so that to see the grid clearly enough it would have to be zoomed in for the user to be able to colour it in. Did I explain that a bit better? Comments Hi Sheri Thanks for trying to help! Those aren't quite what I'm after. What I'd like is for this to happen: 1.

Erase a square ....or do a puzzle and a photo appears. Perhaps you can direct us to an app similar? Comments I think I got it...but usually see it the opposite.
