New screen sizes?

Clint Sutton 12 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 12 years ago 4

Hi,


I see the new Interactbuilder 3.2 has a choice of what screen size you want to build/design in.  If I design my app for iPad layout, will I need to re-layout the app again if I want it to be available for Android, iPhone, or other?

Hi Clint, after you change the size of the app you will need to set the elements of the page to the new coordonates.

Is the new IB4 only able to function in Chrome?

Laurel Roth 11 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 11 years ago 1
I'm totally confused.  The IB4 doesn't seem to function within IE.  The only way I could get the feedback option to open from the builder is to copy the link and paste it to Chrome.  But I'm still not able to open interact mode to open.  Is Chrome the only way to get things to work with IB4?
Answer
Inna Komarovsky 11 years ago
Hi Laurel,
InteractBuilder 4 does work best with Chrome, which you can download for free. Since there are a lot of differences between browsers, we needed to start by focusing our efforts on a very widely-used and flexible browser.

Regarding the feedback button, from which screen in InteractBuilder are you clicking to access the feedback site?

Text field prompt not working

Jen Hoyte 11 years ago updated 11 years ago 4
Created new app in version 4.0.2 Build 381.  Added a text field, with action Tap set to Prompt for text.  On Interact, the cursor changes to small circle, but no prompt takes place.  Any ideas?
Answer
Jen, I cleared your devices, basically we limit the number of devices that a user can run the apps from. This protects our users who want to share their apps to a limited audience.   As far as the text prompt, please find the enclosed app so you can see how I did it.

You download this file and then copy the folder (unzip it if you are on Windows, Mac should automatically do it) to the Documents/InteractBuilder folder.

4.0 IB How do we preview the apps on the device itself?

Eleisha Perreira 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 13
Since the new 4.0, you preview your app online. How do we view it in the app to make sure its playing/correct on the device. 
Answer
Inna Komarovsky 11 years ago
Hi Eleisha,
If you select the option "Make Public," this makes the app available to anyone who has the link. There will then be the option, "Copy Public Link." You can email this link to yourself and open it in your mail app on the device.

Creating animation element from PSD

Ranco 12 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 4

When loading a PSD onto a page, it would be great if the builder would suggest for all layers with same name + incremental numbers to load them as animation element. Otherwise, the raw material for a page has to split to different PSDs and folders of PNG files. This way - an N pages book will be stored in N x PSD files

Ranco

Answer

If the files are named in the PSD file like this :

NameFrame001

NameFrame002

and so on, the files will be implemented like a frame element.

Navigating between actions - please keep arrow buttons in place

Ranco 12 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 years ago 1

When rapidly browsing through actions of an item, the entire actions dialog changes it's size and vertical position. It would be better if the bottom part of the dialog stays in place, otherwise there's always a "missed click" that goes outside of the dialog. This is annoying. You can scale the dialog, just please do it upwards.

Ranco

Answer

We can't always scale upwards, because it depends on the location of the element.  I agree that this can be annoying, we will look at other options like Clint's suggestion to support the arrow keys or PgUp and PgDown.

Graphics below 50px are being enlarged!

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

Hi,

Ok, now I am having another problem.  When I add a small graphic element to the page, the builder makes the image bigger, and it always plays it back in the "interact" and the "player" too big.  It does not do it to images over 50 x 50 pixels!?  Clint


Answer

We are unable to recreate this issue.  We have tested with a graphic element that is 25x25 and it does not resize. Can you please send us a sample app showing the issue you are having?  You can attach it to this site or share your app with ezra@interactbooks.com.
