Working with different resolutions & tilemaps

Hi all,
I was after some advice on whether it's best to use a large background image (iPad3 resolution) or using a tilemap for single-screen games? Is it even possible to resize the tilemap dynamically so that If i create a map to iPad3 resolution and then run it on an iPhone would it shrink it ok?
I was thinking more about using tiled because i could assign certain properties to certain tiles which would help out a lot without having to place objects at certain positions on the screen and listen for events on them.
Many thanks

If you were to create a map at iPad3 resolution you could do something similar by using allLayers:setScale(deviceResolutionX/iPad3ResolutionX, deviceResolutionY/iPad3ResolutionY). This should scale the image perfectly for any resolution device.
Having said that I believe the more acceptable way to do this would be to have several different resolution maps as you may end up with scaling artifacts the smaller you scale the image.
