Play audio not available on Drag End

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

I tried to add a Play Audio action on Drag End but get a message saying it isn't supported for this action set.   I want to be able play a positive reinforcement audio clip after user traces a graphic letter and assume this was the best way to do that.  If there is a better way to do this, kindly advise.  Thanks.

I've tried to recreate this by adding to an element DragEnd-PlayAudio behavior and it's working great. On this element I have: Drag-Move and DragEnd-PlayAudio, and by the end of the Drag behavior the audio play.

Here is a sample for you to see:

Page Turn Effect Bug

Charmaine Anderson 12 years ago • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago • 3

I get an error message when I try to turn off the page turn effect in the global Navigation Menu.  I do not want to have the default page turn arrows in all four corners as usability experts have determined that kids hold the ipad from the bottom left and right corners of the ipad.  Therefore I want to disable this feature and just use my own buttons on the top left and right of each page. I assume turning off Page Turn Effects is the way to do this?  If not, please advise.  But do note the bug below.


To reproduce, select Page Turn Effects > None

New upgrade for interactPlayer on iOS 1 sept 2013.

Serge Patry 12 years ago • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 years ago • 0

I Just install the upgrade for interact player on iOS for 1 sept. 2013 at 08:03:05 Montréal, Canada time that fixes certains bugs well it created even more bugs. no text appears instead a message box saying Internal error occurred " sorry, an internal error has occurred. Please restart the application and try again, [ibSTSControls] with an OK button to continue. Receiving message button"PrevPageNav" with an OK button to continue. An other message for one of my action button said field"_FocusBorder" with an OK button. I had to press the OK button 4 times for the action to start. Close my iPad, restart it after 5 minutes, open interactplayer for the 5 time nothing changed.


So if you read this before you open your iPad don't do the upgrade.

Not sure how we slipped up on this.  We are submitting a fix right now to Apple, if the review process is like this past one it will take 1 to 2 days to resolve.


The update is now available as of 11:00PM CST September 2.

It would be great if you could play an animation from start to finish and then select a part of the animation to tap and play again.

It would be great if you could play an animation from start to finish and then select a part of the animation ( specified frames) to tap and play again. Eg: on page opening- Character walks, stops then roars- tap to get character to roar again. 
Answer
Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago

This can already be easily achieved by creating two frame animations (same frames but you specify different starting frame for the second animation.   So when the page opens it shows the first frame animation and you can add a transparent element at the spot where the character stops.  An action set can then be added to the transparent image that calls the second frame animation which makes the character roar.


Let us know if you need more detail on how to implement this.

Action tab does not reflect Action manager re-ordering

SeanB 11 years ago • updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago • 0
When I create action 1, then action 2, then move action 2 up above action 1 in the advanced, Manage Action Sets popup so action 2 happens first now, I'm expecting that this new order of occurrence  should also swap action 2 and action 1 on the Props/Action/Info popup's Action sub-tab. The action I created second should now be "Action Set 1" and my first one should now be "Action Set 2", because that's their actual order of execution. Thoughts on this? Besides being a nightmare of array management ;).

0ms animations now takes a few seconds...

Ranco 11 years ago • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago • 9
When  I want to return an animated object to it's origin, I add a linear animation to the starting point, with 0ms. It worked fine until v3.4, now it simply crawls back in around 3 seconds.

You could just use the MOVE behavior.

Can anyone access their dropbox in app, on a Windows machine?

SeanB 11 years ago • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago • 1
I am on my second Windows machine. I still cannot access my dropbox account. I see at least now a line through the greyed out dropbox icon in the Design view bottom bar. No idea how to "activate" it, or whatever. I have never had access on PC. Has anyone else?
Answer
Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago
You can just point to your Dropbox folder on your local drive usually under your documents folder. It is exactly the same as using the DropBox connection.  The usual reason why the Dropbox is grayed out is if for some reason the InteractBuilder is not recognizing your default DropBox folder.

erasing background

Melissa Lind 11 years ago • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago • 2

Another erasing question. I thought I saw another discussion about it, but can't find it now. It looks like the eraser erases everything, including other elements and the background. In the builder player, it was only erasing drawing, but on the ipad play, it erases everything. Is it possible for the eraser to only erase drawing done by the user?

Answer
Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago

From what I know the eraser will not erase the background if that image is trully set as background from the Page Panel.

Show 1 random element at the time in a group

Anita Sølver 11 years ago • updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago • 19
If I have 10 elements in the same group, how will I be able to show one or two random elements at the time, and only show the next, when the first have been hidden by a user action? Every elements may only be used once. 

And how will I move one, when all have been used?
Answer
Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago
There is no special feature on how to select a specific element from the group. Could you give us in more details what  you want to do so we can find a way to do it?

IB4 builder and player both extremely slow

Gabrielle Strouse 11 years ago • updated by Inna Komarovsky 11 years ago • 3
Today I just started building the shell of a new book in IB4.  Right now I have 8 pages, each page has a single image.  Building the book was incredibly slow-- at times I got up and walked away from the computer while waiting for it to just change from one page to another.  Now I have it previewing on interactplayer.com and it takes literally 10 seconds between when I press to go to the next page and when it loads.  This seems crazy--considering each page only contains one single jpg right now.  I tried rebooting my computer.  Any other ideas?
