Using counter to affect message displayed on subsequent screen
I am trying to follow this procedure (http://interactbuilder.screenstepslive.com/s/5404/m/16264/l/193580-creating-a-toggle-for-narration-language-etc). I have one object that can be drug to either the right or left side of the screen. I've created a counter so that the value is 1 if it is on the left side and 2 if it is on the right side. (The counter works, I have it set to display).
Now, on the next page, I would like to display text based on the counter value. I have set the text to invisible at runtime, then set an action to show if the appcounter is set to value 1 (or 2, for the other text). However, when I go to the page, neither text displays. I have set the "Refresh on Load" to "No."
What am I missing? Are there any settings that are not shown in the graphics in the guide?
manage action sets moving up and down by layer
When I use the arrow to move the highlighted layer up in the pic below it moves the layer to the top and when the down arrow appears it only moves the layer to the bottom. i can't get it to move up or down by one. i need to move this layer to the middle of these action sets. Is there a max of action set layers on one action?
Try to Tap the right arrow as many times as you need to chain that behavior to the one you want, it will move up automatically.
Load element from the library
It would be nice if one could load an element from the library on command rather than having to put everything on stage and hide it until used. I think this could be a good work around to performance issues in interact mode if one wants to use a lot of different animations that play for a few seconds on tap and then unload when another object is clicked. (You can do this with Flash). Thanks for considering.
We already achieve this by using the hide/show and move. Loading elements from disk would not be efficient and for now we do not see this as a valid solution for improving performance. When an element is not visible it is not taking up any resources from a memory standpoint.
Having trouble uploading my app to IPAD
and gives me an error message: a problem occurred with this webpage so it reloaded. Any suggestions for me? Thanks
Line shape default Anchor Points are bad
Horizontal line shapes are given default Anchor Point Middle-Center.
Vertical line shapes are given default Anchor Point Middle-Center.
This doesn't work for either of them.
They will not stay in their proper place. Even fixing the position by drag/dropping them does not work. They shift as soon as you navigate off the page and back.
Horizontal lines: TOP-center fixes the issue.
Vertical lines: Middle-LEFT fixes the issue.
This does not look like an easy fix. The anchor points really need to shift based on the axis the line is on
Ack! Also, you cannot directly create stable vertical lines! I created a new test line, clicked a node and dragged it to a vertical position. left/returned to page, it went back to its original 45 degrees downward! Twice, even with middle-left. Then I changed it to horizontal, left/returned. At least this time it stayed horizontal, but bumped up. Changed it to T-C, and it became stable. NOW I returned it to vertical, still T-C. left/returned, it shifted left like this bug. Change to M-L. Stayed stable. But this is a hell of a way to create a vertical line!
Contest submission date
Just checking to see if the submission date is still January 5th considering the big update coming up.
Cheers!

Sharing an App to ipod touch
When you share an app to the Ipod touch everything works except when an animation is activated the animation graphics are to large.
Thanks for reporting this, we will definitely address this issue. By the way, I love the lion :).
Add Draw free dotted line option
It would be nice if you could enable the use of a dotted line when drawing. Thanks.
We added this to our plan for version 3.6 (no date yet).
Global Variables?

Adeel
On the page where the user chooses from the three options, add one invisible global counter, and set its value to a specific number depending on the choice. For example, if the user taps choice 1, set the counter to 1.
On the other pages, use conditions that depend on the global counter. For example, show image 1 on page load if the global counter's value is 1, show image 2 on page load if the global counter's value is 2, and so on.
It works similarly to letting the user select the language in which they want to view the app, as demonstrated here: Creating a Toggle for Narration, Language, etc.
