Error when jumping to another page

Charmaine Anderson 11 aastat tagasi • uuendaja Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 aastat tagasi • 1

I keep getting an error  below when jumping to other pages in Interact mode.  Error occurs after clicking element and when the requested page starts to load. This happens randomly but frequently, like every other time I visit the same page in Interact mode.  This happens in a number of places in my app.  I checked the code on all the page elements and nothing is obviously causing the issue. Action on element is simple On Tap, animate, jump to page #.  Even occurs on a static element with no animate action, just Tap > Jump Page #.


Please try to fix this as my app is getting close to being launch ready.  Thanks!

It is best that you set all your "Jump" action sets to run AFTER any animations.  Right now our guess is that you have Jump behaviors occurring while there is animation going on.  Make sure also that if you have animations that are in a loop you put a "STOP ANIMATION" action set for each animation prior to running the Jump action set.  You should setup the Jump action set to run after the animation stops.

  

We will put some code in the next version that will prevent this from happening, but for now you can follow the directions above to avoid those errors.

global counters and page 1

SeanB 10 aastat tagasi • uuendaja Inna Komarovsky 10 aastat tagasi • 1
In one of these topics I recall someone mentioned that global counters were problematic on page 1. Pretty sure it was pre-IB4. Can anyone confirm if page 1 is now "officially" safe? So far it seems so...

Yes, global counters can work from any page, including page 1. I tested it today to make sure.

How to know the version number

Ted Ollikkala 10 aastat tagasi • uuendaja Alin Alexandru Matei 10 aastat tagasi • 4
When opening Interactbuilder, is there a way to check the version number? I know that it is clearly displayed when there is an update available, along with the list of bugfix changes. But if I already have the latest version, how to check and also how would I be able to locate the history of bugfix changes for back versions? Thanks!

shape position corruption

SeanB 11 aastat tagasi • uuendaja Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 aastat tagasi • 1
I have constructed objects out of shapes. Sometimes toggling between Design and interaction mode the positions of shapes get fouled up. Usually resetting the % zoom repositions everything and the modes cooperate again. Tonight it's gotten pretty bad. Not sure if I've just had the app running too long? It did freeze up just now. I just hope it's not a bug that will appear in production.

In this case it's the 2 chairs, they're both all lines. Notice the table has no problems. It's made of just rounded rectangles. I have lines mixed with rectangles on other pages and they behave.

Try working at 100% zoom level.  This should resolve it, in the meantime we will work on a fix for the next version in our new Player engine.

I have a global element that I am using to turn the pages, there is a sound effect behavior that is not working in interactplayer or interact mode in builder.

Thanks!

We were able to recreate this problem. For now to fix this, you can have a delay for the Jump behavior equal to the audio duration.

Unable to realign page order

Laurel Roth 10 aastat tagasi • uuendaja Inna Komarovsky 10 aastat tagasi • 1
Have been unable to realign page order. Also when you use to add another page it asked you if you wanted it to be before or after the current page.  It no longer does that.
Vasta

Hi Laurel,
The question about adding a page before or after the current page only happens on the first page of the app and should still be working. Maybe you had the app open to a page other than the first page when you tried it?

When you describe realigning page order, are you changing the order of the pages using the page manager? Do you follow the same steps as described in the guide (Page Management - Reordering Pages)?

manage action set tool

Melissa Lind 11 aastat tagasi • uuendaja Inna Komarovsky 10 aastat tagasi • 2
I posted this already, but I'm not sure if I was clear. I'm unable to add a new action  directly into the manage action set tool, I can only add actions if it is already there from the previous menu.

When viewed in Interact mode the page runs properly.  However, once Shared some of the elements and their transition animations on page one is not showing at all. I re-shared twice. rebooted the computer but still the elements are missing even though they still work perfectly in Interact mode.

Does those elements that don't appear in Interact Player have some specific properties? Could you make a sample app with those elements and send it to alin@interactstudios.com? Thank you.

Player application loading time

Ranco 11 aastat tagasi • uuendaja Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 aastat tagasi • 0

It takes 1 whole minute to get to the bookshelves. It is way too much  - no one would wait 1 min to read a book. Something is wrong there... (tried it on my Samsung Galaxy 3 mini)

On my HTC One the InteractPlayer loads in 14 seconds.
