Just upgraded to IB 3.4, and the StopAnimation is not working anymore in my existing apps. It is causing issues in both the apps.

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

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?

In builder, png objects are not selectable anymore clicking on the empty areas of the selection box. Is it the same after publishing?

Roi Zorro 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 1

Hi! It seems that with the last update (3.3) objects can be selected only by clicking on the actual fill of the object, not just by clicking anywhere within the square box that frames them. E.g: if you had a ball before, it became selected also when clicking on the corners outside the ball but inside the selection box; or if you had a text imported así a graphic png object,  it was selectable also by clicking in the gap between lines, given that it was inside this selection box. I wanted only to confirm that this doesn't happen anymore also after publishing the app, either.. it would be great, since I have text-graphic objects that are divided into paragraphs with empty spaces in between where other objects underneath should be selectable..

Answer

Roi, we need to investigate this issue.  I was able to recreate exactly what you are describing, let me check with our developers to see if that was done on purpose.  We will be releasing an update this week which will address this issue.

Selecting a Target bug

Ranco 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 0

When you want to one element to fadeOut (for example) another, and you want to select the other element using the arrow ("Target"), it is hard to get rid of this action after you click - it sticks. Every object you click after, will be selected as the target.

Answer

We were able to recreate this problem and we are working on a fix.

rotate object multiple times?

Melissa Lind 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 2
I want the user to be able to double tap on an object and have it rotate 90 degrees everytime they double tap, so that the object can face four different directions. Right now I'm using double tap, rotate, and it only rotates once. Any way to do this?

Thanks!!!


Answer
Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago

If you want the element to actually animate as if it is rotating, try using SpinRight with StopSpin chained after it with a "delay before" that gives the image enough time to rotate 90 degrees. If you want the image to appear at 90 degrees right away, you could use four different elements and show a different element each time the visible one is double-tapped.
