Only one element is allowed to increment a counter. Why no sharing?

SeanB 10 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 10 years ago 0
I have 3 items, tapping on them should increment a single counter.  I gave up on also checking the state of the counter. I just wanted another button to do that. But now I can't even get a shared counter to increment. Why can't they share the same counter?

All 3 - shoes, shorts, shirt are identically setup in Action Manager. Only one of them works. This makes no sense. It does not matter if I nest the counter actions under single Tap>Move, or move the Tap>Move down, or nest it under the counters.

I tried to recreate this situation but everything worked great.
Here is a sample app for this:

One question: what version and what build number is your InteractBuilder?

consecutive linear animations doesn't work anymore

Ranco 10 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 9 years ago 2
I have a sequence of linear movements (under Animation behavior), creating a move along a path. It doesn't work anymore. Here's a similar example. Clicking the butterfly should move it through 3 different points.

save the counter value, like save text

g choi 8 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 8 years ago 1

is it possible to save the values of the counters to use when the app is reopened? like the savetext function

Answer
Inna Komarovsky 8 years ago

A counter's value cannot be saved when the app is closed, but depending on the effect you'd like to achieve, you can use SaveText and text element–dependent conditions to affect behaviors in your app.

Publish once and in all app stores?

Adrienne Brown 9 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 9 years ago 1
Hi,
When I’m ready to publish will my app be published to all the app stores; Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.? Or is only one app store included in the premium membership?
Answer

You can submit your app to Apple, Google, and Amazon at the same time with the premium membership. In the publishing options, you can specify which app marketplaces the app should be submitted to. Here's an article we put together with more detail about the publishing options: Publishing to the App Store

triggering two animations with one tap

Ann K AlteredEssence 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 0

this occurs while in INTERACT mode tapping on an element that should trigger two animations simultaneously. One animation begins with no problem but then this message is thrown.  i tried it again after clearing cache and rebooting and the same thing occurred.


An application error occurred while attempting to perform the last action.

Restarting InteractBuilder is recommended.

copy paste actions

Melissa Lind 10 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 9 years ago 4

I'm unable to copy and paste an action set back into the same element. It asks me if I want to replace or add and then does nothing. 

Answer

You don't have to copy paste the action sets everytime, if you want to add more targets.You can do that simply by using the green plus sign to the right as shown in the image bellow:

Does updating an app and re-sharing to the same person use one of my allotted "shares"?

Gabrielle Strouse 10 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago 1
I shared my app with another email address for testing on my tablet. Can I push updates to that address without using up my shares?  If not, is there a way I can log out of interactplayer and log in with the email I use for building so i can test using my own account?

Thanks.
Answer
Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago
You can share an unlimited number of times with each email address.

Here's an outline of this information, which we recently added to the user guide:

video not playing at same time and in front of frame

Ann K AlteredEssence 10 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago 1
Hi all,  I could use some help.  I have 3 videos on a page that should run as a button is tapped.  The tap triggers a cover graphic to fade out and to play the videos.  These videos are all on tap but instead only one runs unless the trigger is tapped 3 times. 
ALSO, when the video plays it jumps to the top layer on top of a graphic which is a frame.  The intent is to have a frame with the video playing within it not on top of it.
Answer
Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago
Hi Ann,
This seems to be a bug, but here's a workaround that can help you achieve the effect you're describing. The three videos are able to play at the same time if they are all chained after another action set. For example, you can start by hiding the button that makes the videos play.

Tap-Hide (Self)
behaviors chained after (all chained under one parent action set):
-PlayVideo (video 1)
-PlayVideo (video 2)
-PlayVideo (video 3)

I couldn't recreate the problem of having a video appear in front of a graphic element. Are you sure the border is layered to be in front of the video?

Contest Entry troubles

Melissa Lind 10 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 10 years ago 3
A couple comments about things that aren't working quite right on my entries.

1. The TIPS page, I wanted Molly to tap>spin, swipe>throw, drag>move, doubletap>stop spin. But it was interfering with the animation of the box. I changed it to only swipe>throw, drag>move. But the last upload, the swipe throw was not working very well.

2. I was having trouble with any drag>move interactions, but the last one seemed good, I hope yours is too.

3. Menu. It was working a week ago, but now when you click on the thumbnail, it will plays the audio and turns gray, and mostly won't jump to a page. Sometimes it does. Is there any way to chain these behaviors so that they all work together? It works great in the builderplayer, but not on the ipad.

Try to chain the Jump behavior to the PlayAudio behavior and also put a delay on the Jump behavior equal to the audio file.
