Answer

In certain cases Sharing fails if pages were deleted.  This will be fixed in the next update which should be available in the next couple of days.

animation limitations

Melissa Lind 12 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 years ago 0
Have you found that there is a limit to how much you can do on one page? I'm having trouble doing a 10 frame animation and two spins on the same page. It slows everything down on the ipad and looks jilty.


Answer

Obviously the processor and memory that you have will often determine limitations.   2 spins and an animation doesn't seem like that much. I know we are still doing a lot of optimizations to the player engine.

sharing on ipad using interactplayer

Joyce Evans 12 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 2

Im having trouble opening the Interactplayer on my ipad (not the latest). It downloads, but it does not ask for email and password. I downloaded to my iphone and it appears in app folder there, but of course I can't see it well. Today, I downloaded the app on my husbands newer ipad3 and it does open the player (asking for email and password), but when I shared the revised app it does not open the newer app, it opens the old version. When I open the app in IB3 the corrections are there. This is driving me bananas…..Help!?

Also, what are the devices and shares? More concerned with devices. I know now to manipulate the shares. I have set up (3) email accounts to clients. But I wanted to do a test run and Im having trouble loading the newer version of the app. Not wanting to give to client this way.

Did I not turn on something?

Thanks for your immediate help. You can respond to my email as well, jevans408386@comcast.net.


Answer

The way you can share your apps with other people without submitting to the app store is by sharing.  You can share using either remain addresses or you can also share using the same email address on different devices. 


By default you are limited to three devices for each share that you have.  More shares and/or devices are available for $1 each.   I am not sure why when you open the app it opens the old app, we are working on a new version of the Player that should be available towards the end of the month, this hopefully will fix the issue.


For now, in the InteractPlayer hold your finger down on the app and delete it from the bookshelf.  Then go to My Apps again and try downloading your app again.

When are you going to release the next update?

Charmaine Anderson 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 2

Can you advise how soon you plan to update the next release?  My actions aren't saving reliably so I'm going to have to stop building my app until this gets resolved... Thanks.

Answer

We are working on version 3.3 now which we expect to release in the next week or two.  We have no totally been able to recreate the problems you have been running into.  If necessary we will see if we can release an emergency fix.

swap

Melissa Lind 12 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 12 years ago 1
How does the swap behavior work? I couldn't find anything in the user guide. I was assuming that it swaps the position of two different elements? But I couldn't get it to work.


Answer
Alin Alexandru Matei 12 years ago

Hi Melissa, this is how Swap behavior works.As target of the Swap behavior you select Self, and for the Swap Target you should specifiy the Next element which will be tapped.

Or you can select for the Target to be the element with which you want to swap the element that has the swap behavior, and for Swap Target select Self. I've attached an example on how to do this.100 - swap.zip

On the example that I've attached to this reply you have to tap the Triangle and this element will Swap with the Square element. As you can see the Triangle has Tap-Swap with Target being element1(which is the Square) and the Swap Target is element2(which is the Triangle).

Duplicate Page Bug

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

When I try to copy a page using the page manager I get the error message below and it won't duplicate a page.  (Perhaps you can reproduce using the test app I sent to Alin recently. I tried duplicating one of my stickers pages (35) as the actions aren't saving reliably again and I was hoping to copy a page that I did get to work and swap the graphics.)


Thanks for looking into this.

tap button

Melissa Lind 12 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 1
I often have to tap the "tap" interaction button 2 or 3 times for it to be selected.

Thanks!


Answer

We have seen this happen but are unable to recreate it consistantly.  If you can provide any specific steps on when this happens that would be extremely useful to help us address this issue.


Unless we can recreate this problem it is impossible for us to fix.  I will mark this for now as "Not A Bug".

Could we have a swipe right behavior

William Mark Povey 12 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 years ago 7

Could we have a swipe right behavior ? It just a small wish I would like to put on my list.

Answer

It is probably not obvious but you can actually scroll the list of Interactions.  So if you scroll  down you will see we have separate interactions for:


Swipe Left

Swipe Right

Swipe Down

Swipe Up


You will also see several other interactions listed.  Sorry for the delayed response on this.  Let us know if you have any other questions.

stopping a particular audio clip?

Clint Sutton 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 0
Hi guys,

I want to play or stop a particular audio clip on another page.  I have a button on the cover page that I want to make a tap action that will switch the audio on or off on another page.  So that when I go to the next page, that audio will or wont play depending on the changing from the cover page button.

This audio is not a narration attached to highlighting text, it's just a clip that plays when an image appears on that page. Image action - playaudio

Thanks
Clint
Answer
Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago
Hello Clint, here is a sample app for this situation:
368 - Audio Stop.zip
For this situation you will need an App Counter. In this example the audio on the second page will play when the App Counter value is 1. So for On element I added a Counter Set for the app counter to set it's value to 1 ( also this is invoke on page load, in case you want the audio to be available by default when the user opens the app) and the Off element have a Counter Set for the app counter to set it's value to 0 so the audio doesn't play. On the second page I have a graphical element with 2 behaviors: a Show behavior for itself and a Play Audio behavior both invoked on page load and with a condition: App Counter Value is 1. 
Let us know if you need anymore help. Thank you for your feedback.

Word highlighting not working--- can't view it interact mode.

Charmaine Anderson 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 0
I am not seeing the word highlighting work in Interact mode, I set it to text only, bolded and  I changed the color to green and gave the setting a unique name. (Of course, I also ecorded the timing and could see that working in timing mode). But in Interact mode I don't see the text highlighting working… Is there a special trick to this that I'm missing?  Does this feature only work in the player and not in the simulator? I followed the User guide instructions…or so I thought!  Thanks much for your help.
