Element Manager not working

Jamie Stevens 11 ár síðan updated by Inna Komarovsky 11 ár síðan 19
The Element Manger window is not showing on my pages after page 11. When I go back to prior pages, I can access it. But not on pages 12 and 13.
Answer
Hmm, I haven't encountered that before, and it appeared in a test that I tried just now. I wonder if it has to do with any specific elements on the page. I have a few questions to see if I can reproduce the problem:

- Are you in Design mode when you try to open the element manager?
- Which button do you use to access the element manager -- the icon at the bottom of the window, to the right of "Add Element," or the icon in the bottom center of the page menu?
- Are there any elements on those pages that may be blocking the element manager?
- What types of elements are on those pages?

Totally Confused by L,T, R, B Coordinates for Random Animation Movement

Ted Ollikkala 10 ár síðan updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 ár síðan 6
Let's say I have a symmetrical object exactly centered on the screen at at 640, 400 (on an Android screen set for 1280 x 800) and I want to animate a random movement constrained ten pixels in each direction. What are the Left, Top, Right and Bottom coordinates that should be entered?,This is driving me crazy! :-)
Answer

Hi Ted,

The constraints depend on the dimensions of the element as well as its coordinates. If the element's anchor point is "Middle-Center," then the constraints should be the parts of the screen where the element's edges should not pass.

I hope this helps : ) let me know if you'd like more information.

SeanB 10 ár síðan updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 10 ár síðan 2

Anyhoo, having server sync errors, so I created a new test book. As soon as it was created it said "synching" and then threw the following error:

Trouble Syncing with Server

russellshaffer 10 ár síðan updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 10 ár síðan 5
Is anyone on this forum having trouble syncing with the server when they interact with their app? My app DOES sync, but it takes a REALLY long time. 52 minutes this morning. Then there were a lot of problems with the app that didn't exist when I was using IB3. This incredibly long process makes it extremely tedious and difficult to work on my app in IB4.

Any ideas to streamline this process?
Answer
Have you tried just a single page app to see if there isn't a communication issue going on with our server?

shared apps not accepting username/password

Jen Hoyte 11 ár síðan Uppfært 11 ár síðan 5
I'm developing apps for my algebra class to use.  I've started sharing with 2 people so that they can test them out and give feedback.  On the iPad, they download InteractPlayer, start it up and it prompts for the username/password.  

However, it is not accepting the username/password sent in the email they receive from InteractStudios.  How is this supposed to work now?  Thanks.

problem with mp3 sound clips

Clint Sutton 12 ár síðan updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 ár síðan 1
I am having some problems with using mp3 sound files.  I want to loop a sound to play continuesly without any gaps.  I start with a .wav file that has no gaps at the beginning and end so it plays smoothly when looping in audio softwar.  But when I convert it to mp3, the clip always has a gap at the beginning and the end, so it loops in interactbuilder with a pause!? This seems to be with all mp3 files.  I don't think this is an interactbuilder problem, as my recording software even shows the mp3 file with gaps, no matter how many times I edit it.  Any suggestions would be helpfull please!?


Answer

I believe WAV files will work but not sure they will work on all platforms.  We will do some research on this, but in general MP3 is what we recommend to use. We haven't run into this issue, but at the same time we have not had a need to have music in a loop that does not pause.

Word Highlighting cannot change Highlighting Start

Data Command 11 ár síðan updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 ár síðan 2
In come cases when I record word highlighting I cannot edit the starting point.  In the Start Highlighting dialog the starting point is after the ending point and a new starting point cannot be saved.  (see screen capture)Image 211

Not sure how to recreate it, but it either happens because I start tapping before the countdown has finished or after the last word has been spoken.  When this condition exists the words start wapping around to the beginning of the paragraph.

The work around is to delete the word highlighting and to recreate it from scratch.

Copy error in interact mode, then IB3 crashes

Charmaine Anderson 12 ár síðan updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 ár síðan 1


When I copy and paste an animation onto the same page and go into interact mode I often receive an application error message and IB3 crashes.  So I can't copy the error message due to the crash. This happens when I have two or three copies of the same animation on the page, although I have given them unique element names.  This occurs intermittently. However when I restart IB3 and go into Interact mode, it seems to work ok. 

Answer

Could you provide as with a small app showing this problem?

Draw Free bug

Charmaine Anderson 12 ár síðan updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 ár síðan 0

When I assign a Drag > Draw Free > line width 15 action to a graphic element, and use my Sony Vaio touch monitor to test it, the lines shoot off on their own accord away from my finger. So it doesn't accurately follow my finger when touching the monitor screen.  I would like this behavior to be more accurate as I want to use to facilitate tracing behavior.  See screenshot below.  If there is a better way to simulate tracing behavior, please advise.  Thanks.

Publish classic tale version & copyright

Luca Paltrinieri 11 ár síðan updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 ár síðan 1
What if I want to create a version of a classic tale (Grimm brothers, Perrault, or maybe even Aesop or Phaedrus)?

How does the copyright work? I suppose that if I am not using texts taken from published books and make my own, I won't face any copyright issue. Am I right?

Thanks
