Ranco 10 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago 10
Spin action on an element also scales it ~by half. Happens on iPad, doesn't happen in the builder (in Windows)

Add rotate graphic and text element by corner handle in design mode.

Charmaine Anderson 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 0

It would be nice if you could enable one to rotate a static graphic or text element with a corner handle like one can do in illustrator.  Thanks for considering.

More Apps Behavior

Pardesi Media 10 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 10 years ago 1
Please add a behavior in IB that would allow us to show more apps/games from the same Publisher to the users.
Answer
Alin Alexandru Matei 10 years ago
You can achieve this by using the browser behavior. So for example if you have an app icon and you want the people to see that app in the store, you will need a web element.
To that app you add a BrowseOpen behavior with target being that web element and in the link/address filed you will need to paste the URL to that app.

Page Number Panel enhancement

Charmaine Anderson 11 years ago updated by anonymous 5 years ago 5

Please consider widening the page number panel at the top so if you have alot of pages the numbers aren't running together making it hard to distinguish between the pages.  See attached screenshot.  This will make selecting a page easier when developing.  (I realize one may not need this many pages but if one wants to create a robust user experience sometimes it's necessary).  Thanks for considering this.

suggestion: limit interactions possible to only the ones that should be used.

Melissa Lind 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 1
I tried using Tap> Draw and got this error message. I imagine it's because it's suppose to be used with Drag?

Recommended file size for music on each page?

Charmaine Anderson 10 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 10 years ago 1
Can you please advise what the maximum file size you recommend we use for background music on each page?  I purchased a couple of .mp3 clips that I like to use but I'm wondering if I should recompress them but I don't want to have to sacrifice quality. Also,  If you have some advice on ideal audio compression settings for audio that would be nice and I'm sure others will appreciate that info as they develop their apps. I'm using GarageBand to edit my audio.
Answer
Alin Alexandru Matei 10 years ago
There is no maximum size of an mp3 file that you could attach from what I know. But the best advise would be to keep the app only with the necessary files and also have a decent size.
