TimerPause

Jen Hoyte 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 3
I'm trying to get a timer to pause when the reader leaves a page, then start back at the same point if go back to the page.  So I set a text element to TimerStart on page load, TimerPause on Page unload.  But when I go back to the page, the timer starts back at 0.  How should this be set up?  thanks.

Layers Bug

Charmaine Anderson 11 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago 2
It appears you cannot have more than one object on any layer. If possible,  please enable the ability to have multiple elements residing on the same layer, as the code provided to me by Alin awhile back seems to require this feature.  See below for details.

I have a "coloring book" page with several different crayons, I want the ability to draw with each crayon without it drawing immediately until the crayon is placed where the user wants to begin their drawing on the page.  (Alin provided me with the code below, however this only works with ONE crayon, when I duplicate the code on the other crayons on the page, it doesn't work on the other crayons.  I have determined this is a layers issue and the code provided will only work on the crayon that is on the top layer.  I think if you were able to enable multiple elements residing on the same layer, this code would work on all the crayons, not just the top level crayon.  (See page 46 of the sample app I had shared with Alin awhile back).   Here is the code he provided: 
Crayon (On layer above Crayon_COPY), Visible Yes)
1. Drag > Move > Self > On Load >NO
2. Drag End > Hide Self
3. Drag Move >Crayon_COPY > On Load > NO

Crayon_COPY (on layer beneath Crayon) , Visible Yes)
1. Drag > Draw > set width, constraints, etc. On Page Load > Yes
2 DragEnd > Show Crayon> On Page Load > NO
3. Drag > Move Crayon

If there is another way to accomplish this, please advise.

Thanks so much for looking into this issue.

narration 3.0

Peter Sbardelli 12 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 years ago 0

Could you please post a video on creating a "read aloud" highlighted text sentence?


Thank you for software - it is excellent! Really looking forward to learning more

Answer

Unfortunately we have not enabled the text highlighting feature yet.  You could still create your own highlighting by creating a frame animation.  I will ask someone to post the technique up as a video.


Text highlighting is on our short list for version 3.3.   Version 3.2.1 should be coming out in the next few days which will include several bug fixes, we expect to release a version 3.2.2 in a couple of weeks with some enhancements and more bug fixes.  Version 3.3 should be released in September and will include the text highlighting.

counter target not updating as expected

SeanB 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 10 years ago 9
I have a global counter working across all pages. There is a minor bug that repro's with 100% consistency.

Steps:

  1. create global counter on page 1 and give it a value
  2. go to page 2
  3. add an Action > Interaction = none, Behavior = CounterDisplay
  4. now on Target row click the "(Self)" and select your counter from the dropdown
Expected: "(Self)" changes to your counter name. Actual: nothing, it doesn't change. See screenshot below.

5. Now under Behavior Settings, Counter click "(Self)" and select your counter name.
Expected: it changes to your counter name. Actual: it changes, and finally so does the "Target" "(Self)" above.

Expected: Target should change on it's own, to reflect it's selection, not depend on Counter.

Related scenario: If I skip setting Target and just set Counter, then Target won't change (until I reopen the book).

In this screenshot I've already clicked the Target "(Self)" and chosen my counter "TalkCounter", yet it didn't change. Only after I make a selection in the (duplicate data?) Counter popup will Target change.

Animation only playing once

Clint Sutton 11 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago 3
I have a 6 frame animation, that gets triggered when I tap another object, animation runs once after the tap.  This works fine, until I add another object "C" that has an animation-linear to itself.  As long as that object "C" is moving, the 6 frame animation only plays once after a tap initiation.  If I tap again the 6 frame animation does not play.  If I turn off the "linear" on object "C" the 6 frame animation works every time I tap.

I can't work out why or how to alter this?

Intersections Should Work With Invisible Shapes

Data Command 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 2
It would be very useful to be able to trigger intersections with invisible shapes (no fill, no border line).  Shapes with a border will trigger and intersection, hide the border and the intersections do not fire.
Answer
Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago
I tried to recreate this but the intersection is working as it should. You can try instead of invisible shapes you can add a new graphical element and leave it without an image assigned to it.
Let me know if you need a sample app for this.

Manage action sets

Melissa Lind 11 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago 2
I'm having loads of success with the manage access panels. Thanks! What a time saver.  However: this seems odd. I'm unable to select an element because it brings up the behavior bar when I select the arrow to the right of Hide, shown below. After I've selected the behavior there is no way to select an element unless I've already selected an element using the previous screen. Image 87


Answer
Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago
Hi there, I noticed the image in the comment is no longer showing up, so I wanted to clarify that in order to use the Action Set Manager to select a target for an action set, you would select the action set in the list on the left (by clicking on the name of the interaction or behavior, and not on the arrows, which allow you to change the interaction and behavior) and then click the green plus sign in the box to the right of that (the table titled "Targets"). The plus sign is only available when you have an action set selected.

Renaming project group is really creating a new group

Anita Sølver 11 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago 2
When you rename a group on the Projects screen, it actually doesn't rename the folder, but creates a new one.

I almost fell of my chair, when my app was gone after renaming the project group it was in. Of course, I went to the folder, to see if it was still there, and it was. In a folder with the old name.

I would suggest that you actually rename the group/folder, instead of creating a new one. Especially since you call it "rename".

Or at least tell, that the apps inside is still available in the old folder :)
Answer
Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago
Just updating this thread to note that this problem has been fixed. Renaming a project group changes the name of the folder, and the project group contains the same apps as it did before it was renamed.

Wrong replay count

Ranco 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 0
See below - simple "jump up and down" animation. Replay count is 3, but the jump occurs 4 times. It is persistent.

Not critical, but still ....

Answer

To make a replay of an animation , that animation must occur once. So it will replay 3 times after that animation ended.
