counter condition play audio and blink the visible counter

Jamie Stevens 11 years ago • updated by Inna Komarovsky 11 years ago • 0
I have a counter that is visible.
I applied a conditions that display the numbers up to 5.
When the condition is true, an audio plays and I would also like the final number 5, to blink. So far, only the blinking is working. The audio will not play when I have the blinking behavior added.

Hi Jamie,
I tried this out, and it should work if you chain the two behaviors. First, the PlayAudio should happen when the condition is true, and the Blink behavior can be chained after it, without a condition. The two should happen at the same time, because when something is chained to happen after a PlayAudio behavior it does not wait for the audio to finish.

New COPPA policy parental gate?

Clint Sutton 12 years ago • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 years ago • 2

Since Apple has introduced this new policy for apps with a link out of the app, I have seen some ideas for parental gates, like a math problem to solve and type in.  I would like to add something like that to my app.


How can we implement that into a tapped link on our apps?  Can someone give me an example for InteractBuilder?

Answer

Here's an article with some interesting examples of separating content that might involve linking outside of the app:


How Are Kids' App Developers Connumicating to Parents?


To use math equations, you could use the SetText behavior in combination with a condition that checks whether the answer is correct.

Some of the techniques involve multi-touch, or other interaction gestures that might be less familiar to young children.

Interact Player Error

Melissa Lind 11 years ago • updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago • 4
In interactplayer on the ipad I have two apps under "My Apps" that I am unable to delete. I deleted the app and reloaded it, but they still appear. I'm wondering if it is somehow corrupted? Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch, you guys are great!
Answer

If you downloaded the app from the "Get my apps" into one of the Bookcase categories and then you deleted that app from "Get my apps" that app will still be visible in the Bookcase category you've just downloaded to.

Jay Bankoff 11 years ago • updated by Inna Komarovsky 11 years ago • 1
Is there a reason why images which display and scale correctly in an ipad mini would not scale and display correctly in an ipad?

Hi Jay,
We're currently working on a fix for the way that the apps are displayed on devices. This will make the apps consistent with Interact mode and between different devices.

Show hidden elements with {Page Timer} Is Greater Than {Value}

Anita Sølver 11 years ago • updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago • 0
I thought I'd make a separate question for this.

I'm trying to make hidden objects appear on the page, after I have started a timer, but only one of them shows.
To reproduce:

  1. Make a timer (Timer1), a text element to start the timer (Start timer), and two text elements (1 + 2).
  2. On the start timer text element, set 3 action sets:
    Tap > TimerStart > Timer1
    Tap > TimerDisplay > Timer1
    (None) > Hide > (Self) << Make this a child behaviour of TimerStart
  3. Text elements 1 + 2 has the text 1 + 2.
    Set them to invisible in runtime
    Then make the following action set:
    (None) > Show > (Self)
    Condition: {Page Timer} Is Greater Than {Value}
    - Element: Timer1
    - Value (seconds): 0s
When you click the start timer, the timer starts.
Then one of the objects show up, the other does not.

Is it only possible to make one object show with a timer condition?
In this case, I could make the text elements a group (and hope I could make that work), but what if I had several totally different objects or groups, that should be shown after a certain time?

You can get an example app here with the page set up (and not working):
101-Timertrouble

Perhaps I'm just missing something about how to do this.


Answer

This is a bug that it's fixed in the next builder version. Right now the solution for this is to chain a Show behavior for the Text 2 to the Show behavior set on the Text 1.

App counter action?

Clint Sutton 12 years ago • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 years ago • 1

Hi,


I have an app counter on the page.  I have 10 objects that when tapped count by 1, and hide.  I have another object, hidden, that I want to show when the app counter gets to 10.  Can this be done?  I can't for the life of me work it out?  Tried various things.



Answer
Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 years ago

Hi Clint,

You can absolutely accomplish this using conditions. On all 10 objects add an action set of Tap/Show and the target would be the hidden element.  Now here is  the key, on each of those action sets in the menu tap the CONDITION button, under counter conditions you will see:


{Page Counter} is {Value}


This means that you want this action set to run only if the page counter is a certain value.  When you select this condition you will set the Element to your counter and the value to 10.  That's it!  


Let us know if you need any further assistance.  There is also a video on conditions available here:

screenshots

Can I add screenshots after the publication of the application
Answer
Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago
Currently, the publishing process is delayed because we have been dealing with some issues with the Apple publishing process, but once it is ready to go, I would suggest adding the screenshots at the same time as submitting your app, but if you need to update any of the screenshots later, you can just send them to us. Let me know if you need any help with the screenshots.

Regards,

Version 4.0.9 Build 390 - "y" and "g" characters are being cut off at the bottom, despite the text bounding box being much larger than the font.
