tilt

Pardesi Media 11 років тому оновлено Alin Alexandru Matei 11 років тому 0

How do we identify if "Tilt" interaction is left or right? Based on the direction of the tilt I want to move my object.

Відповідь
Alin Alexandru Matei 11 років тому

There is no way at this moment to make a differention between Tilt Left and Tilt Right. Your object will move left if the device is tilt to the left and it will move to the right if the device is tilt to the right.

Modes Needed When Highlighting Audio

Data Command 11 років тому оновлено Alin Alexandru Matei 11 років тому 0
I suggest that the timing edit page (timing for hightlighting each word) should have a relative/absolute mode button. If it is absolute (default), just change the single timing element. If it is relative, then adjust all elements after by this word by the same amount as well. I have come across an example where I pause too long on one word and all of the words after then play too late and I would have to edit each word thereafter manually even though the timing is well done, just not in sync on one word early on.

.mp3 Audio not looping when set to execute on page load

Charmaine Anderson 11 років тому оновлено Alin Alexandru Matei 11 років тому 1
I have an .mp3 file set to play on page load which it does fine in Interact mode, however it won't loop, even though I have it set to loop.  Not sure if it is a file size issue.  The audio clip is 1.1 MB, but its only about 20 secs long. I also tried setting the replay on the audio to 5 times and it still did not loop. Thanks for any suggestions to resolve this.  Also FYI, when I exited from Interact mode back to Design mode, I got this error message below:

Hi Charmaine, I've tested the loop effect with an mp3 also on page load and it's working great. Could you attach that mp3 file to this post or send it over alin@interactstudios.com to see if it's something wrong with it?

Browse behaviour issues

Paul Snakes 9 років тому оновлений 9 років тому 2
Hi guys

I 'd wanted to know if you are still having the problem I had reported some months ago, about browser behaviour working only once when clicking on an object (the browser frame showed only the first time, after that, new clicks resulted in no behaviour at all)

I have my two apps ready adapted to the new version of the software and would like to publish them...

Are you currently submitting apps to Google Play and AppStore, don't you?

regards,
Pablo

Hi Pablo,

I let our lead programmer know about the problem with the browser. I apologize that I hadn't responded to your earlier message! We are not yet submitting apps to be published because we need to do some more testing to be sure the apps will work on the different platforms, but we'll let everyone know once the process is ready to go.

Regards,
Inna

Audio management question

Charmaine Anderson 11 років тому оновлено Inna Komarovsky 11 років тому 0
I am wondering how I should handle audio narration being interrupted by tappable element audio narration.  I'm going to use the highlighted text narration option  but wondering if I should make the tappable elements stop the main narration while the element that is tapped plays its short sound clip.  Is there a way to make the narrated highlighted main audio resume playing after being interrupted?  Thanks for any suggestions on how to best handle this.  Or perhaps I won't have narration on the tappable elements, maybe just make them have short sound effects to amuse the viewer?  Although it would be nice to have voiceover describing what the tappable element is… thanks for your thoughts.


Відповідь

One way to do this would be to add the following action sets to the tappable elements that interrupt the narration:

Tap-PauseAudio (Target: the narration audio)

Chained after this behavior: -PlayAudio (Target: the audio that the tappable element should play)

Chained after the behavior above: -PlayAudio (Target: the narration. Behavior options: Delay before: enter the amount of time the sound effect will take)

Does this happen on every page you try to duplicate or only this particular page?

color differences between the imported PSD and the animation elements

Brook Johnson 10 років тому оновлено Inna Komarovsky 10 років тому 9
Hi,
Another question for you: I imported a RGB PSD file into my page. And then, when I add an animation element onto page (I dragged the png files of an arm waving onto the "Design" screen), the colors are not the same. Screen shot attached.

Actually the animation element (the arm) is more accurate color. Those are the colors I see when I work inside Photoshop. When I import the PSD the colors come in lighter.

I did use "TinyPNG" program to reduce file size.
The artwork for the animation elements was created from the same PSD artwork.

Any hints on getting the colors to match between my PSD imported elements and the PNGs (animation element)?? It looks odd to have a boy with two different skin tones! The darker skin tone is what I want.
Thanks!
Brook

Hi Brook,
Regarding your first question, this is a problem we've noticed as well, and although I'm not sure myself how it works since I'm not on the programming team, I could give you a couple of workarounds to make sure the colors are consistent in your app.

Since you mentioned that you prefer the darker colors, which show up when files are imported as separate PNGs or animations but not as Photoshop documents, the workarounds for this would mean replacing the images assigned to the elements with PNG files.

1. First, there's a script in Photoshop for exporting the layers to PNGs. Open your Photoshop document, and go to File > Scripts > Export Layers to Files. In the window that comes up, you can select a destination and a file prefix (so that all of the exported files are together if they start with the same letters) and then run the script.



2. You'll get a separate file for each layer of the Photoshop image. If you'd like, you can run these through TinyPNG at this point. If you want to place the images yourself, you can just drag this group of files into InteractBuilder and go from there, but if you have a page where you want to keep the locations and action sets you've assigned, then you can use the ideas in step 3.

3. You have two options for replacing the files in your app folder with these new exported PNGs:
  • One option is to replace them by re-assigning the image file for each element. (Click on an element to see its properties, select the Image field, and then choose Select Image File.)
  • The other option is to give each file the same name as the matching file in your app folder. Once you rename the group of files, you can move them to your app folder. Since the files have the same names, you'll get a dialog box asking if you want to replace the files with the new ones, and you can select "Replace."
4. Once you replace the files, then you can go to InteractBuilder and go to the Manage screen (if you had the app open) and then back to your app to see the updates.

Alternatively, if you do decide that the lighter colors are ok and you would rather have the animation colors match the rest of the image, you can follow the steps under the "Corner Dots" heading of this user guide article: Setting Up Your Photoshop File.

(I'll address your other questions in a separate comment)
