browser window remains opened after several web urls are loaded

Paul Snakes fa 10 anys • updated by Inna Komarovsky fa 10 anys • 4
Hi. I am finding a possible bug that somehow was already commented some time ago in a forum thread http://www.interactbuilder.com/forum/interactbuilder-3-0/browser-window-problem/; though the solution suggested there seems not to work: I create a Browser element where I want the web pages to show. I have two objets on screen with Browse behaviours added; both of them targetted to the same Browser Object. When I go into Interact mode, I load the first web page; I then load the second without closing the browser window (I let the show closing button option turned on), and It is succesfully loaded. But when I try to close the browser window, only the closing button dissapears, while the browser window itself remains open. It stays open also when I go into Design mode. I have to quit the app to have the b.window removed. Nevertheless, if I load a web page on the browser in InteractMode; and before tapping the second element with the browse behaviour I close the browser window; the latter reopens and closes normally. Do you know if this bug happens also in the published version? I am considering to create one different browser window per each browse behaviour to avoid that..

I brought in a revised element into interactbuilder. I copied the actions from the element to be replaced, pasted them onto the new element and got this error:

Thank you for reporting this error. As a quicker way of updating a revised element, you can select the original element and assign the new image file to that element. This will maintain all of the actions sets but update the way the element looks.


When you click on the element and see the properties window, below the element's name you'll see an "Image" field that says the name of the image file in your app folder. If you click there you'll be able to select an image from Dropbox, from the app, or from the files on your computer. When the image is changed, the action sets are maintained.

Animated Element with Transition > Tap > Show > Hide Bug

Charmaine Anderson fa 11 anys • updated by Inna Komarovsky fa 10 anys • 2

Problem:  Can't make an animated element with a transition hide a text element that it previously had shown.


To reproduce:

Place a .png sequence of frames on the stage.

Place a Text element on the stage and hide it on page load.


Set the Animated element Action to Animate > Loop > Yes

Set Animated Element Behavior > Play on Page Load to Yes.

Set Aniamted Element  to transition to another location on the stage.

Set another Action to the Animated Element: Tap > Show > a hidden Text Element

Add another Action to Animated Element: Double Tap > Hide the Text Element.


Go into interact mode, when animated element is  tapped the hidden text element will display as expected.

Problem occurs when you double tap the animated element: the Text element will NOT HIDE.  


This occurs on my MacPro.


Thanks for looking into this bug.

As an update on this topic, I wanted to write that I tested the effect, and it should all be working correctly. DoubleTap does require the user to tap quickly, like a double-click. If the desired effect is to have a different behavior happen when the element is tapped a second time, not double-tapped, then a separate element is needed so that it can hold the other action set. In this example, this would mean that tapping the frame element would show the text and also show a transparent graphic element in front of the frame element. This new element would have the action set to hide the text.

When you get the error, are you selecting the audio from your files or from the audio files that are already in the app (from the list in the screenshot)?

audio files, is there a limit to how many audio files

Ann K AlteredEssence fa 10 anys • updated by Alin Alexandru Matei fa 10 anys • 2
Audio files, is there a limit to how many audio files are allowed in an app?  I cannot add any more and some are disappearing that were there originally.  If I try to add a file to the builder it will not add or show up, target keeps showing 'none'.  I've even added the file directly to the app's file then tried to add from that folder, it did work only once.  I had all the narration working properly and now I'm missing the last page and can't get it back.  It is not showing up in the selection within the builder even though it shows in the app's folder.  Any ideas?
Answer
Alin Alexandru Matei fa 10 anys
Try to copy the audio file that you want to use, change the name of the copy then try to import it again in the builder. If this don't work, reinstall the builder. Thank you for your feedback, and let us know if you're still encounter this situation.

Scrolling page menu and turn off the narration only.

cathy lane fa 11 anys • updated by Alin Alexandru Matei fa 11 anys • 1

I have 2 questions ( I apologise if you have seen this twice as I was not sure weather I posted the question in the correct place before)

1.I want to create a scrolling table of contents for the picture book app I am developing . I know it is possible as it has been done in the book "Goodnight little sea otter"  which was produced by interactbooks. How do you do this?

2. I also want to know how to turn off the narration only. I can only find an option to turn off all the audio? Thankyou!!!

InteractPlayer cannot play sound loud on iphone

Truman Kong fa 10 anys • actualitzat fa 10 anys • 4
I have downloaded the InteractPlayer 3.4.355 on iphone 4S, After sharing my App. I can run the App with no problem, all the click, turn pages, actions go well. However, the sound on the App can hardly be heard, as the sound level is very very low, as it through the internal speaker of iphone4S. I have turned it up to the highest. But when I use a earphone to listen, there is no problem at all. Why can't I hear the sound via the internal speaker?
Answer
Inna Komarovsky fa 10 anys
Hi Truman,
I haven't yet been able to recreate this problem, but I wanted to ask a couple of questions
- When you turn the volume up while the app is open, does the volume symbol say "ringer," "volume," or "headphones?"
- Is the phone inside a case that may be blocking the area where the sound comes out?
Thank you for the feedback!

Turn off narration?

cathy lane fa 10 anys • updated by Alin Alexandru Matei fa 10 anys • 0
I have a toggle button for the user to turn narration on and off. I have tried to apply stop narration to the toggle in action sets. I have also tried to apply counter value behaviour to the toggle and the narration on the page- no luck- I can't work it out. Could you help please?
thanks Cathy
Answer
Alin Alexandru Matei fa 10 anys
Hi Cathy, here's a sample app on how to stop the narration:
337 - Stop Narration.zip

On the first page you will need a App Counter. The Read Me On/ Read Me Off elements will set the App Counter to 0 or 1. As for the narration audio you will need to have conditions on them. So for example: The Read Me On will set the Counter App to 0. The narration audio will need to have the Play Narration behavior with condition being: Counter App Value is 0. Then when the Read Me Off element will be clicked the App Counter Value will be set to 1. So the narration won't play anymore unless you tap the Read Me On element again.

First time frame animation: minor scale down of element

Ranco fa 10 anys • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) fa 10 anys • 4
For every single frame animation in my book, the first time I activate it, it scales down just a bit (~1-2 pixels) before the animation starts. Next time, it works fine, without the scale (or maybe it is already scaled down?)
See example Here
