Hello, I am new to Interact Builder. I am noticing a significant lag in the builder of late. When adding elements or text or anything really. It takes a long time to load, select and the builder is acting erratically. Is this due to file size?

Elements are being selected when I simply scroll over the element without actually clicking on it as well.

Hi there,

Does the issue continue if you restart InteractBuilder or your computer? I have sometimes had lag issues that were caused by the computer I was using.

As long as the images are at a resolution of 72 points per inch and if there aren't too many images or animation frames that are large in comparison to the app screen size, the size of the file size should not be an issue.

If you open your app in InteractBuilder, open the App Properties on the left side of the window, and then select "Info," what is the value in the "App Size" field?

Regards,
Inna Komarovsky

Text - Add Center and Bold option, and enlarge fonts larger than 70

Charmaine Anderson 12 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 years ago 0

It would be helpful if one could center or bold text when typing in Design mode. Also I noticed I can't make the Comic font larger than 71 pts.  I want to make a few letters large on screen, otherwise I have to add a graphic as a workaround.


Answer

Currently you can easily make a font bold by just selecting the font and under the family drop down you can choose Bold as long as it's supported by that font.


We will be adding more text formatting features soon including text alignment and other features.


We will also add to the plan the ability to specify font size greater than 71.

spin action scales down

Ranco 12 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 11 years ago 10
Spin action on an element also scales it ~by half. Happens on iPad, doesn't happen in the builder (in Windows)

Add rotate graphic and text element by corner handle in design mode.

Charmaine Anderson 12 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 12 years ago 0

It would be nice if you could enable one to rotate a static graphic or text element with a corner handle like one can do in illustrator.  Thanks for considering.

More Apps Behavior

Pardesi Media 12 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 12 years ago 1
Please add a behavior in IB that would allow us to show more apps/games from the same Publisher to the users.
Answer
Alin Alexandru Matei 12 years ago
You can achieve this by using the browser behavior. So for example if you have an app icon and you want the people to see that app in the store, you will need a web element.
To that app you add a BrowseOpen behavior with target being that web element and in the link/address filed you will need to paste the URL to that app.

Page Number Panel enhancement

Charmaine Anderson 12 years ago updated by anonymous 7 years ago 5

Please consider widening the page number panel at the top so if you have alot of pages the numbers aren't running together making it hard to distinguish between the pages.  See attached screenshot.  This will make selecting a page easier when developing.  (I realize one may not need this many pages but if one wants to create a robust user experience sometimes it's necessary).  Thanks for considering this.

Top level of the book folder gets crowded, how about adding two sub folders - images and audio?
