This is cool.

Will it be compatible with both Unity 3.5 and 4.x?

[unikronsoftware]

Yes.

My scrollable area does not seem to be receiving any touch events.

This is what I did.

1. The UI Camera of tk2DUIManager is pointing to my existing tk2DCamera of my current project.
2. As per instruction in the PDF for scrollable area, I created the scrollable area including the camera and layer.

I can see the scrollable area but unable to scroll it.  Please advise.  Thanks.

Will you consider having prefabs that can work with current tk2dcamera instead of a separate camera?

I also like the option of working with one camera.

It does work, just that it needs the sprites built for that resolution. Obviously then the sizes of things will be different, but I guess you're changing the dimensions of things when you customize anyway, aren't you? I have a script that will rescale appropriately when switching sprite collection, but I'm not sure its worth including in the system as its a bit rough around the edges...

I am unable to scroll the scrollable area though I can see it visible on screen.

Really nice work!
Used this for my main menu plus inventory screen and it works like a charm.

will this be included in the package or is it a seperate purchase ?

I would also like to know this.

That should definitely work - I've used it in a project with tk2dCamera set on the sprite collection and also on a perspective camera. Did you simply drag in the prefab and configure from there, or did you set it up yourself?

I dragged in the prefab.  Set the scrollable area to a scrollable camera.  However, my UI camera for the tk2duimanager is pointing to my existing tk2dcamera instead of another camera and it has a orthographic size of 480.  Will that be an issue?

[unikronsoftware]

The UIcamera has to be the camera that "sees" the GUI, whichever that may be.
