button sizing images problem

I am just finishing my first dual app for ipad and iphone, and I think I am missing a basic understanding . I thought you could do a button icon at say 240x240 for ipad and then by choosing button size for small device at say 82 it would scale it down but this is not happenings. Am I missing something obvious - is there a way two have one icon for ipad and one for iphone in same code.

Are you using two different sized icons? They seldom scale well, best to have two icons even if you feel scaling down will work.

The CP allows you to specify two buttons, one for large and one for small. You see the setting?

Sorry for the delay - in responding brother mac but I was off preparing a fruit salad to help with the Buzztouch 6 pack I know is there but blocked by the Buzztouch belly To answer question in Home screen I have 3 buttons but when I click on the CP I only get option for one icon file name. I can select background image for separate devices but that comes out all weird. Have done two icons of different sizes but no options to set one icon for pad/ one for phone. PS every time I think of you I think of a new york bar with house of pain signing 'jump' and a bunch of celtic fans pogoing.

Marko, I've been using the button background image for large and small devices and it has been working great. I have decided to stay away from the icon file for the fact that it may look and fit great on your iphone doesn't display well for the iPad as it may be too small. How many buttons have do u have?
