Text Anchor Points break position

SeanB 10 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago 1
When I position text in Design mode, it is aligned to the top of the text box.

But in Interact mode, my text "drops" down vertically to the middle of the text box. vertical anchor point settings are ignored. But if I set text to [vertical position] -Right, it does apply the right positioning.

In CSS text-alignment left|center|right works great, but vertically positioning text is a nightmare. If you are using CSS you need to a better solution for vertical.

For now I'm just planning on all my text

Possibly related to http://feedback.interactbuilder.com/topic/522867-l...

This is easy to recreate.
1 create a red rectangle shape.
2 create a text box
3 write some text in it
4 keep text box bounding box much taller and wider than your text
5 position your text in the middle of your red shape. The bottom of the bounding box will fall below it - do not center the bounding box on the red shape, obviously.
6 Interact - your text will have dropped down vertically
7 play with the X and Y axis anchor point values on your text object. X work great, Y is ignored.

Displaying in the player.

Laurel Roth 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 1
Page updates are not be displayed and when I ask it to just view just one page it loads all the pages starting at the first page and then doesn't display the changes to pages.  I also noticed up at the top of the player page it says 4.0.1 could that be an issues since we are now on 4.0.2?
Answer
We are not experiencing this, can you send me a screen shot.  We don't show the version number on the InteractPlayer page, so I'm wondering what exactly you are seeing.

importing psd error

Melissa Lind 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 1
This problem just popped up for me. I've been going back through my book and doing some fine tuning, which means that I either select all the files and delete them or I delete the page and re-import the psd file. I don't use the import option without deleting all of the elements because it always messes up all the layers.

The last few times I've done it, when I select the import psd file option it brings up the calculator and won't let me import the file. I close the program and try it again, sometimes it lets me do it and sometimes it brings up the calculator again.

Sometimes the old layers come in instead of the new ones unless I shut the program down and start it again.

line and gradient problems

SeanB 10 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago 1
horizontal lines pinched, angled lines flipped mirror image, vertical gradients broken AGAIN back to unwanted horizontal.

Please tell me - can I tile a background image on the page across the X axis so I can create the sky? I can replace the other stuff with bitmaps, but not the whole sky!!

Hi Sean,
At this point there isn't a tile option for page backgrounds. We will hopefully fix the gradient background problem soon as well as the problems with the lines. If you do want to have the background work right away, it's fine to create a background image as a jpg file. But if you want to reduce file space, you could also create rectangular strips that include the gradient and copy and paste them, placing them along the page behind the other elements. Each copy will refer back to the same file in the app folder.

Not able to open app in interact mode.

Laurel Roth 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 3
I have uninstalled and reinstalled IB4 twice.  I am not able to view app in interact mode.  I read some of the other suggestions about looking in the app folder for a folder called player and I do NOT have a player folder.   This is so frustrating.  I have also tried to install the builder on my imac and it will not allow me to use my email addy to do this.  Tells me I already have it.    I deliberately took time off from work this week to get the book I'm hoping to release before Christmas submitted but feel frustrated at this point.   Please advise

I'm unable to get the duplicate element feature to work in interact mode with a double tap.

Answer
Try it in version 3.3 when it's released.  We have not been able to recreate the issue in the latest version.

rotate 90 degrees

Melissa Lind 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 1
I have a design app where kids can rotate elements. At the moment I have some of the things rotating just 90 degrees. When I interact in the builder it works perfectly, but in ipad, it rotates but squishes the element. I know I can get around this by making the element square, but it takes up too much space. Is this something you guys are working to fix or no?

Hi there,
Are you referring to InteractBuilder or to an app that you have built using InteractBuilder? Is it too large or too small for the display screen?

conditions

Ann K AlteredEssence 12 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 years ago 1

 I want an element to SHOW after several other elements are turned into the same particular color, they all must be the color before the main element may show.  I am able to create the interactions that recolors the elements. I then have the element I want to SHOW set up as "not visible at run-time   + "execute on pg load" and I was trying to set the condition so that the element would show when all of the color changed items are the same color.  I can only add one element as the conditional item instead of all the items.  i do not want the main element to show until all elements have changed color.

Answer

The best way of handling this would be to create a counter, each time an element was changed to the correct color you would increment the counter.  Once all the elements change color the counter would reach a certain value.   You would then add an action set to each element which would be a "Show-Main Element" action set with a condition set to a specific counter value.  This way no matter what order the elements were displayed in, it would show the main element as long as the counter reached the correct value.

Suggestion: Drawing behavior

Melissa Lind 11 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 11 years ago 2
Be able to select both the color and line width with the free draw behavior, instead of selecting them separately. I tried using the Draw behavior, instead of select color, select line width, but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks!!!


Answer

When you put together the Drag-DrawFree action set, the builder shows a "Line Color" field and a "Line Width" field in the behavior settings below the name of the behavior, so you can select any color and line width that will appear when the user drags a finger on that element.
