Intersect Action Bug

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

I get the error message noted below after I set an Intersect action using two static image elements.  (I'm trying to make a drag and drop "puzzle" behavior, so one graphic element on Drag will Move > follow Me and on Drag End, will drop on top of an empty puzzle piece (graphic element) when they Intersect.  If there is a better way to do this type of thing, kindly advise.  Thanks much!


To reproduce:
Assign a Drag > Follow Me action to a graphic element on the stage.

Assign a Drag End > Drop action to the same element


Designate another graphic element on the stage to be the target of the Intersect.

Click Intersect on the IB3 UI.  

Make first element intersect the second element and assign a behavior. (In this instance I assigned a "blink" action.)


Preview in Interact mode.  

Note the follow me action seems to have a mind of its own and doesn't always follow you.  The first element sometimes moves to the bottom of the screen.


Go back to Design mode and try to modify the intersection by clicking the Intersect icon.  The program throws the error below.  


Note also that it is confusing that the ability to edit an intersection isn't available on the Element Actions panel.  It would be nice to be able to modify it from the element actions if possible.

SaveText and Version 3 app

Jen Hoyte 10 years ago updated 10 years ago 6
Hello, me again.
Trying to get SaveText to work on all the pages of a version 3 app.

I've added invisible elements on the page turn so that as they leave the page, the SaveText is called.

The first time this happens (which is on page 3), the text is saved.  However, it does not work on any other pages.  Any more ideas?  
Thanks.

intersection hide problem

Melissa Lind 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 2
I'm excited to use the new build. Fun stuff!

I'm having trouble with an intersection. I have element 1 moving across the screen on page load with a linear animation, when it intersects the edges of element 2 I want it to:

1. animate the second element
2. play an audio file
3. hide element 1

The first two work great, but it does not hide element 1.

The intersection tool is working much better than it was, but there are still some glitchy things happening. Like, the first time I tried to enter in a second intersection it wouldn't show the behavior until I closed it and came back. Also, the intersection screen does not always come up. Sometimes it just opens the pages screen and then I select the page, even though I'm on it already, select intersect again and it comes up.

Any ideas on hiding the element?

Special characters not displaying.

Ilze Britton 10 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago 3
Hi

I’m doing a story in a different language that has several characters with accents that do not display correctly.

In the App builder it displays correctly ( gesê / voëls ), but when I have the story in Interact mode on my browser, it displays as follows: ( ges_ / vo_ls ).

I’m currently using the Merriweather font, but I tried changing the font to Arial and still had the same issue.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago
Hi, I was able to reproduce this problem and have let our lead developer know. If you do prefer to have the accent marks working right away, I would recommend using graphic elements instead of the text. This can also let you apply exactly the type of spacing and styling that you prefer, and it guarantees that accent marks will appear correctly. But we will be working on fixing this problem so that special characters can display in the browser.

template has corrupt element

SeanB 10 years ago updated 10 years ago 2
Look at this screenshot. It shows the steps to add a narration condition - both on page load and on tap. In screen #2 I chose "1" > Tap to Set. My entire condition is then REMOVED FROM THE ELEMENT. What?

This element worked fine on the page the template was created from. Now in a new book, new page based on this template, it does this:

Hi Sean,
Thank you, this comment has alerted us that there's a problem with counters when they're used in templates. I think that in your case for the time being if you locate your counter element, it might have turned back into a text element. If you make it back into a counter and re-assign that element in any action sets or conditions where it's used, it should work again.

I hope this helps! I'll report the problem with counters.

Question about sharing

Mark Weinstein 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 3
Do we get 5 shares with each app we're working on or 5 shares total, no matter which app we send? I ask because I work on a pc and I want to share versions of something in progress to my wife's ipad to see how it looks and performs and I've shared it twice under different version titles. If I put IB on her ipad can I transfer the apps from my PC using dropbox?
Thanks for any help...
Mark
Answer
Hi Mark, you can definitely use DropBox to open an app from another computer. As far as the shares, they are based on users not apps. So you can share as many apps as you want with 5 users.

InteractBuilder hangs on splash screen

Data Command 10 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 10 years ago 1
When I start InteractBuilder it just loads the splash screen and does not go any farther.  I am on a mac with good internet connection.
Answer
Sounds like maybe a firewall issue is blocking the connection to our servers.  I would try a different internet connection to see if that resolves the issue.

Enable Shift Select to Delete Multiple Pages from Global Page Manager

Charmaine Anderson 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 1

It would be nice to be able to go into the Global Page Manager and delete more than one page at a time, such as being able to Shift Select a range of pages or Control Click the ones you want to delete. You could add a confirm delete pages popup to eliminate user error as a safeguard.  This would allow us to quickly create a sample app of the page we are having a problem with (ie., first create a back up of the app and then deleting everything but the one page we want to share with your developer.)   Thanks for your consideration.

Answer

We are going to be adding a feature in a future version that allows you to import a page from an existing app.  This I believe would be a better way to handle your request.
