How do I determine appropriate screen size?

Gabrielle Strouse 11 years ago • updated 11 years ago • 3
Hi, I built a book for Microsoft Surface Pro 2, which has a screen resolution of 1920x1080.  I used this resolution as the size when building the book.  However, the Player app does not size the pages correctly in Windows 8.1 on the tablet, nor in the Bluestacks emulator running Android on the tablet.  In both cases, what I see is a very zoomed in view of perhaps only 1/3 of the page.  I would like to avoid resizing everything to another size that does not work.  How do I determine the correct size to use?

Ezra, Thanks for the tip to use www.tinypng.org . It took a bit of time but it turned my 121MB app files to 71.6MB app.

GUI issue when modifying "disable page flip" option

Ranco 11 years ago • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 10 years ago • 5
When I try to change disable page flip forward or backward from Yes to No, it shifts the arrows near the pages so I can't go on and do the same for the next page. Quite annoying:

Text does not scale properly when sharing.

Also when I updated to the last version all my apps got deleted.

We are fixing the font size issue.  As far as your apps being deleted, our update process does not touch your documents folder so it is unlikely that our update process deleted your apps.  Can you let us know where your apps were stored? Did you keep them in the default folder?  What update did you run?  How did you run the installation?

Long time Syncing

Justify Sings 9 years ago • updated by Inna Komarovsky 9 years ago • 1
i have tested a 3 page book and its is working
but im having problems with my other book -- it always stuck at syncing to server -- my book is only 20MB only 22pages --

Answer

Hi there,
This could be an issue with one specific element or action set. In the book that is not working, do some of the pages work if you try to preview one page by itself instead of uploading the whole app?

Constraints not working

Gabrielle Strouse 10 years ago • updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 10 years ago • 2
In v3, I never seemed to need constraints, as it was not easy to drag an object completely off screen.  Now, however, dragging using the "follow me" behavior seems very uneven, sometimes following nicely and sometimes letting you fling the object completely off-screen.  Sometimes it even seems to send the object in the wrong direction (opposite the way you are trying to drag it).  I was hoping to fix this somewhat by constraining the area to the dimensions of the screen, but this does not seem to work--I can still fling the object completely off screen.

Does the the 'snapshot' function work on all devices?

Ted Ollikkala 10 years ago • updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago • 6
Is the the 'snapshot' function supposed to work on all devices (PC, ipad, android tablet & smartphone)? I have tried it and nothing seems to happen. I want to tap on an element have have the snapshot recorded for the user (of course, they can take their own screen capture at any time but an in-app button is more conducive). BTW, does a snapshot capture the same exact area as a screen capture?

Thanks!

The SnapShot behavior seems to currently be not working, and we have reported this to our lead developer. Thank you for bringing our attention to this!

IB3 on launch bugs

Charmaine Anderson 11 years ago • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago • 0

When I launched IB3 tonight the program won't load right away and I get a variety of strange error messages….. such as "stack is corrupted, check for - backup file".  I click ok and the app will open.  I close the app and reopen it and it takes about 30 seconds to open IB3.  Also got this other odd looking error message about an update…. and another one from apple asking if I want to report what is happening with my computer….  Thought you should know.

Actions disappear after previewing in Interact mode

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

Actions set on animated elements randomly vanish from the Action Set Manager after previewing behavior in Interact mode.  In Interact mode the element doesn't always work the second or third time you tap the element (I do have it set to replay the behavior).  The targeted hidden element Shows and animates once and then the animation loop stops working, or the targeted element won't Show anymore.

I have tried to reset the same action over and over again in Design mode and some of the actions vanish after I preview in Interact mode. Very frustrating.


To reproduce:

Place (3 or 4) animated (png sequences) on the stage. No actions are assigned to them.  Make them NOT visible in interact mode.  

Place (3 or 4) several static image elements control the animated png sequence with these chained actions:

On Tap > Show > Animated PNG element, Animate > Loop > Yes, Transition > set coordinates > Bounce Yes > Replay  Yes, Hide > Other animated element(s).
