How to enable sound - Read to Me / Read to Myself from homepage

Charmaine Anderson 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 0

Hi, I'm wondering how to control the sound on all my story pages from the homepage that will enable voiceover to play on page load if user clicks the "Read to Me" button from the homepage, or NOT play the voiceover if they click the "Read to Myself" button on the homepage.  Can you please advise the steps on how to use Set Timer to make this work? If that is how this can be done?  I'm not sure how to use Set Timer.  (I would like the ambient audio to still be heard if that is possible, just not play the voiceover. )

 Also it would be nice to know how to make text highlight when the voiceover says each word if that is possible yet. Thanks much.

You can have the behavior ToggleAudio, one for Read to me button and one for Read to Myself. This way the audio set as naration will stop or play.

Enable Select Multiple Frames Option when Adding Animation Element > Select Frames

Charmaine Anderson 12 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 years ago 1

Please consider adding the option to either shift / Select multiple frames when you are Adding an animation element from within the App.  I had to rebuild an animation sequence on the stage and didn't want to drag and drop the same images from my desktop to avoid making the app size larger.  Adding one frame at a time is very tedious when you have to scroll past a lot of assets in your app to find the one you need. Especially when the Select Frames panel takes 5 secs to load each time you want to select a new frame. When you have 20 frames to add, its time consuming.

Answer

This is definitely on our roadmap.

Clear Cache error on PC

Charmaine Anderson 12 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 0

When I attempt to clear my cache on my PC I get the error message below.  The program works ok otherwise, but thought you should know about this.  This has been happening for quite some time but thought I should report it.  My app is now about 20 MB. Maybe it can't handle clearing that much data?

Answer

This actually looks like the program is having an issue updating the database.  You have an apostrophe somewhere that is causing the error.  Do you have a text element with an apostrophe, or maybe the title of your app. Obviously we don't want to prevent the usage of apostrophes, but that is what is causing the error. If you can narrow down for us where you have the apostrophe, we should be able to correct the error in the next update.

Can't expand copied text box with square handles

Charmaine Anderson 12 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 1

When copying a text box element to another page the little square handles on the text box won't let me expand the width or height of the text box to accommodate the width/height of the content I'm typing into the box.  (I copy the text element to save time so I don't have to keep resetting the font, size and color. ) The workaround is to change the dimension of the text box using the info Tab and reset the height and width, but this method isn't efficient so if you could fix this bug so the handles will work when text box is copied that would be great. Thanks.

Answer

We could not recreate this problem.  We copied a text element from one page to another and it worked fine, we could resize.  Are you copying the original text from another application?

Exit the program and find the folder called "Sharing" under your InteractBuilder folder and delete it.  Try again.

This is in fact a bug.  The CounterDisplay behavior cannot be selected when setting up an intersection (has nothing to do with the number of intersections defined).
