managing file size

Melissa Lind 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 9

I'm only half way through one of my books and it's already 150 mb without any sound files. I'm looking for ways to cut it back. What are the most size intensive interactions? How intensive are frame animations vs. linear animations? Or do the layers take up more space than interactions? Any advice?


Thanks.

The new update of InteractPlayer NOT working on iPhone

Judy K. Johnson 10 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 10 years ago 1
I downloaded the IP update yesterday on my iPhone 4S. It only displays less than 1/4 of the page of my shared app. Also the volume is extremely diminished even with my volume on Max. This is drastic problem compared to previous version.
Answer
An update has been submitted to Apple which hopefully will be approved soon.

Animated frame element only plays once on tap

Charmaine Anderson 10 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 9 years ago 16

Animated frame element will not play if tapped again. Only plays once on tap. I have a .png sequence set to animate on tap, no looping.  Works fine on first tap.  After animation stops playing, if element is tapped again in Interact mode, it does not play again.

I also tried reseting the Replay Count to either 0, 1 or 100 under Behavior Options but element still will not play on second tap.  Here are the settings I'm using.

See enclosed app.  We cannot recreate the issue you are reporting.  You can see in this sample that every time you tap the butterfly it animates.

A hint for things Undo Redo don't work for

SeanB 10 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 10 years ago 0
I did an action in a properties window then hit Undo, which was active because I'd previously been moving things around on the Design screen. I didn't notice it did not undo my action, and I ended up hitting undo redo and making a mess of many shape's positions. There may be a bug in there, not sure. Anyhow it's confusing because I thought that action was doable.

Open a book with text and as first action change its alignment, you can see Undo remains disabled. So that is not an undo-able action. I don't know how but it'd be nice to be warned that such actions do not get added to the Undo history stack and can't undone. And then it'd be nice to be able to turn those warnings off when you no longer need them. Or maybe the undo icon flashes each time you do an undoable action? UX issue to thing about.

Answer
We do plan on having every feasible action become "undoable" in future versions.

InteractPlayer Android Login Issue

Pardesi Media 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 10 years ago 1
I just downloaded and installed InteractPlayer on my Motorola Droid Razr. When I launch the application, it launches okay without issues, but the keyboard is not showing up when I click on Username/Password fields, it is probably not recognizing them as Text Input fields. Not sure if this is just an issue with my Motorola Droid smartphone or other smartphones have similar issues.

We have tested this on various Android devices including smart phones and have not seen a problem with the keyboard. Make sure you tap in the text field.

link element to an erase action

It would nice to be able to somehow link the erase action to an element such as a picture of an eraser or some other element.

GUI suggestions

Ranco 11 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 9 years ago 2

First, it is strange that in order to enter the current page's property you need to open the list of pages and click on ">". It should be accessible all the time.

Second, the list of elements should be easily accessible, again - not via the list of pages.

I would also suggest to allow toggling selection of stacked elements, like using the Ctrl button or otherwise

Hi there, I just wanted to add an update to this thread to say that the page properties can now be opened from the Page Properties button on the left toolbar of Design mode. (If these are not visible at any point, open the Design mode settings by clicking the gears at the top of the window, and click Show Helper Icons.)

To see a list of the elements on the page, click the Element Manager button at the bottom of the window, which is the second icon highlighted in the image below.


I'm not sure if I understand the third suggestion. Would this mean making elements invisible and visible in the builder in order to be able to reach elements beneath other elements?
