animation conflict with other elements

Melissa Lind 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 4
I have an animation and an element on a page that work fine on their own, but when the path of the element crosses in front of the animation, the animation will no longer work.

Could you provide us some details like:
-on what OS this situation happen?
- was in InteractBuilder (InteractMode) or in InteractPlayer.
-what kind of animation it is: a frame animation or a graphical element animation?
-the behavior for the other element.
Thank you for your feedback.

Fade in and Out settings - advanced options

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

It would be nice to be able to specify exactly how fast the fade in takes place and how long the object remains in view before it fades out.  For example, I'd like the fade in to happen much more quickly than the default fade in, as it is too slow before the object displays.  So greater control on the fade in and fade out option would be nice rather than the currently method of setting the time for the entire fade in and out.  I've tried changing the duration of the exiting fade in and out but the fade in is the same slowness.    The reason is I would like user to click on a static element and have it play a larger animated version of the element.  And I want to use a lot of static elements on the screen. Because kids will keep tapping elements quickly, I need the elements to fade in quickly, display object for longer than the fade before they fade out.

interact mode hanging scenario

Ranco 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 1

Ok, here is the setup:

two elements:

Element#1 action is to fadeIn element#2 (2 sec)

Element#2 action fades out itself (2 sec)


Scenario (interact mode hangs or significantly slows down):

Click Element#1 (to show element#2)

While Element#2 is being animated (faded in), click it.

First, it will not fade out, not even after it is fully shown. Second, other items in the page will not interact, or interact slowly.

This issue will be addressed in version 3.2.2.

IB4 has stopped working properly.

Adrienne Brown 10 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 10 years ago 1
IB4 has stopped working properly. Here are the issues I am having.
When I update an app in the builder and then click Interact to see how it runs, the updated content is not in the app.

I created a new app and tried to view it using Interact, but this app won’t run at all.

I then created another new app In IB4 and a message displays that says the app has to be converted to work in IB4. And now IB4 is hung up on the Manage screen with the “Syncing app” indicator on the icon of my new app.

Please advise. If necessary, you can delete all of the apps in my account and I will start over. Thanks.

We are releasing an update tonight that corrects this problem. The problem related to a server issue that we had a couple of days ago which forced us to switch our servers.  The update should be available before midnight US Central time.

erase

Ann K AlteredEssence 12 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 11

I have a page where the reader paints with their finger and change color by touching paint brushes in different colors.  I also have an eraser on the page which I can't get to work as i would like. Currently it will erase if I set it to erase but if I use set erase mode it erases the eraser, in either case  I would like the reader to be able to paint, then hit the eraser and erase what they want and then hit a paintbrush again to begin painting without having to change pages to reset the page. If that is possible would you please explain how to do this?  I could not find it described in the user guide or any posts.

Thanks,

Ann

managing file size

Melissa Lind 12 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 years ago 9

I'm only half way through one of my books and it's already 150 mb without any sound files. I'm looking for ways to cut it back. What are the most size intensive interactions? How intensive are frame animations vs. linear animations? Or do the layers take up more space than interactions? Any advice?


Thanks.
