Set Opacity Not working

Charmaine Anderson 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 0
Hi guys,

I noticed the Set Opacity feature isn't working anymore, I have an animated .png element transition across the screen and on Tap I had Set Opacity to 50% and on double Tap return it to 100% opacity.  This was working before but doesn't seem to be working in the latest release of IB3. Thought you should know.

Thanks.

I tried to recreate this situation but everything worked ok for me as shown in the attached sample app.

Could you tell us on what OS and on what version and build of InteractBuilder are you experiencing this situation?

MAJOR BLOCKING BUG - element A animating B breaks B's animation

SeanB 11 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago 8
TAP element A which is a frame animation, it animates.

CHAIN ANIMATION of element B to occur after that animation.

My element B is also a frame animation, a series of PNGs showing an item drop to the floor and bounce.

Expected: I see my item drop to the floor and bounce, and stay there.

ACTUAL: My element B flies off to the left and sticks to the left wall.

TAP element B directly (because I had a tap on it originally) and it animates as expected.

Why is chaining animation of self-then-another-element breaking the animation of the other element?

This is a blocking issue for me as I have several complicated chained events I need to develop.

Did you try remaking the animations? I create a sample app and everything worked great:

Design doesn't work when coming back from InteractMode

Ranco 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 0
Many times (since 3.4), when I switch back to design mode, there's nothing I can do. I can select an element, but the property window doesn't open. Have to get back to "Manage" in order to continue. Can't give a specific scenario, it simply happens after a few minutes of work. I'm working 30 min today and already 3 times .
Answer
Sorry for the delayed response on this.  We are releasing an update today that hopefully will fix this issue.  We were not able to replicate this problem over here, so we are not 100% certain it will be fixed.  Let us know once you install the new version if the problem persists.  For now I will mark this as "Fixed".

drag animation into builder and have it stay in order

Ann K AlteredEssence 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 2
Still when I drag in an animation from a file into the builder as an animation it brings all the layers in but all mixed up.  I have to replace many of my animations since this last build and the layers are still coming in all mixed up.  not a big issue when there are a few layers but when there are 20+ it takes a long time to rearrange them.  Is there a trick to have them come in order?
Answer
Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago
To drag the frames in the correct order you order them like: 001, 002,003... select all and you start dragging from frame 001. So with all of them selected drag them into the builder by performing the drag action to the first frame.
For the second problem try to delete that frame element, remove the frames from the builder folder and try importing them again.

Flip not working in Player (PC version)

Judy K. Johnson 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 0
I work on a P.C.  I have just downloaded 3.4 Builder and Player this morning.  In Builder I have an animation that is made up of two pings.  It is a tadpole swimming.  The first image bends the tadpole to the right and the second image bends the tadpole to the left.  When played it looks like the tadpole is swimming.  In Design I set up a linear animation which bounces.  I indicated that flip should be activated.  In Interact, the animation is perfect.  The tadpole swims to one side then flips and swims to the other side.  However, when I share to Player, the flip does not work.  So the animation looks as if the tadpole swims to one side and then swims backwards to the other side.  When I publish the app will the animation work correctly as in Builder - Interact or incorrectly as in Player?

Could you create a sample one page app with only that animation and send it over alin@interactstudios.com so we can check what it's not working. I tried to recreate this problem but the invert option is working as it should in InteractPlayer.

Please uninstall the version you have and download InteractBuilder again from:

Audio action bug

Charmaine Anderson 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 0
I keep getting the error message below when trying to add a Play Audio action to graphic elements that have other actions already set, such as Show > element. This bug occurs when I add a new behavior, on Tap > Audio > Play Audio and then this error message displays.

Hi Chairmaine, thank you for the feedback. The problem here is that the Action Manager is making the actual element the target for the PlayAudio, and since that element is not an audio element it ask you that you to change the target for that behavior. You can press continue and then hit the green plus sign to add an audio element as a target for the Play Audio.
If this didn't help exit the Action Manager window, tap the element and try adding the target for the audio behavior from the element window as show in the image:

audio looping even though action set says no looping

Charmaine Anderson 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 1
I have an animated element (png sequence) set to play on tap.  It is set to loop.  I also chained an on tap action to play an audio clip (.mp3).  Problem is the audio loops also even though on the audio action set I set it to NOT loop.  
I want the animation to loop continuously on tap but not the audio clip. Thanks for looking into this or offering a work around.
Answer
Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago
If you chained the Audio behavior to the Animation, and the animation will loop, that will cause the audio to loop also. As you said the best way to avoid this is to make Tap-PlayAudio instead of a chained PlayAudio

new book is saved inside another book

SeanB 10 years ago updated by anonymous 6 years ago 10
For another bug I created a new book. I discovered that the book was not created in my folder for "Books" - it was created inside another book in that folder!

C:\Users\sbischoff\Documents\InteractBuilder\Books\101 - Wheres Cotton\Cereal Box Animation

It should have been created here:

C:\Users\sbischoff\Documents\InteractBuilder\Books\Cereal Box Animation
Answer
Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago
Is it possible that you have that project group's default folder set to be the "101 - Wheres Cottom" folder? If you go to the Manage Screen that includes "Cereal Box Animation," do you see other apps in the same bookshelf? If you and click the Settings button and select "Reveal Default Folder," which folder does it show?
