Could you help me? I want the user to be able to erase or edit the drawing they have done in the canvas area.

I have tried to work it out- no luck. I created a canvas area and a colour select button- thanks to your great little app you sent me. I want the users to be able to erase/ edit their drawing by tapping an erase button. Thanks for your help!

To allow the user to erase what they drew, you can use the SetEraseMode behavior (in the "Drawing" behaviors category). Within this behavior, you can select whether you are turning the eraser on or off. So for example the eraser button could have a Tap-SetEraseMode (on) action set, and it can switch with another button that shows that the eraser is on and will turn the eraser off when it is tapped.

Let us know if you'd like to see a sample app of this effect.

show at tap

Melissa Lind fa 11 anys updated by Inna Komarovsky fa 11 anys 18
Not sure if this is possible, but I'd like to be able to tap the sky and have a star duplicate (hidden at runtime) and show at tap, so that an infinite number of stars can be duplicated (rather than having the stars as individual elements that will run out). I'm unable to select the star as the element to show at tap. I'm also unable to select tap in this instance. If I'm unable to do it this way, is there a different way?

Thanks!

Hi! This was an interesting question, and we just found something of a workaround to create this effect where the stars appear where the user taps or clicks.

This technique uses the Pickup behavior, hides the target element and then shows it in the next location where the user taps (anywhere on the screen).

1. Place the star element outside of the screen.
2. Add the following two action sets to the sky element:

TapEnd-DuplicateElement
Target: the star element
Location:  Relative, (0,0)
Number of Duplicates: 1
Execute on Page Load: Yes

TapEnd-Pickup
Target: "(Last Duplicated Element)"
Execute on Page Load: Yes

3. If there are any elements where the user might tap and you don't want the stars to appear on top of them, add the following action set in addition to any other action sets that the element has:

Tap-Hide
Target: "(Last Duplicated Element)"

Let us know if you'd like to see a sample page of this effect. Best of luck!

Word Highlighting NOT activated after signup as Paid Publisher...

Charmaine Anderson fa 11 anys updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) fa 11 anys 0
I just signed up as a Paid Publisher, hoping to be able to use the Word Highlighting feature, but it is not activated, it still shows the Premium > Click for More Info option in the Properties panel when I select my text element. I do not have the option to set word highlighting to Yes.  I would expect to see the Timing interface option accessible here now that I'm a Paid Publisher.  I did receive a confirmation from Paypal saying my transaction was successful and submitted to your company.  Is there a waiting period before premium features are activated after signing up as a PAID Publisher?  I tried rebooting and I still see the screen below.  I assume I should see something different than what I am seeing below enabling me to set the word highlighting timing…  Or is there somewhere else I am supposed to find the word highlighting timing option?  Please advise asap as I want to wrap up my app.  Thanks!

Hi Charmaine,

Go to the Manage Screen and select "Login As Someone Else" from the Top Right menu (the icon of the person).  Log in again as your registered user, this should refresh your membership level and you should be all set from there.

Global Page Turn Effect - possible bug

Charmaine Anderson fa 11 anys updated by Alin Alexandru Matei fa 11 anys 0
Hi guys, not sure if this is a bug or user error on my part, but when I try to set the GLOBAL page turn effect to WIPE, I get the error message below.  Here is a screenshot of the settings.  Note the error message occurs even if I select the Page Turn Effect NONE.  Not sure if this is related to this issue but I noticed when I select the WIPE option, my cache then immediately shows 41 MB in the cache folder, which may cause the app to load slowly on launch in IB3.  When I clear my cache though the app loads fast in IB3 on launch.  

(FYI - I intentionally did not set the go to next/previous page images as I want to manually control where those buttons go at the end of each section in my app.)

Did this situation occurred all the time or it was fixed after you restarted IB3?

Intersectons not work for Text Element

Truman Kong fa 11 anys updated by Alin Alexandru Matei fa 11 anys 1
I am working on IB4.0.3 Build 382. 
The Intersections for two elements do not work properly when one of the element is a TEXT field.
I wonder if this is a bug or the feature no longer support in IB4? As the IB3.0.4 has no problem

sharing problem

Mark Weinstein fa 11 anys updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) fa 11 anys 1
Hi. I'm trying to share an app from my pc (Windows 7) to my wife's ipad mini so I can test it out. I went through the sharing procedures OK. I downloaded Interactplayer from the Apple appstore. (When I open IP it tells me there's an update to IP but it's the same one I downloaded) When I tap the "get my apps" button on the IP screen it brings up a pop up box showing the app I'm trying to send. I hit download and the download progress bar appears, but 3 seconds later IP disappears altogether and I have to restart it. Is this a bug??

We are waiting on Apple to approve our latest update. We had expected it to be available by now.  That should resolve the issue you are having.

Animated element set to loop not looping reliably with a transition

Charmaine Anderson fa 11 anys updated by Alin Alexandru Matei fa 11 anys 1
After installing the most current release, my graphic animations that have a transition and looping set to yes, the looping stops when the transition ends in Interact mode.  This happens pretty consistently, even after I reset the actions. So, I think there is a bug with looping not working properly with transition animation (.pnq sequence). Thanks for looking into this when you get a chance.

Answer
I tried re-creating this problem but the loop is working ok. Could you make a sample app and send it over to alin@interactstudios.com so we can have a look at the problem. Thank you for the feedback.

IB3 slow load on launch

Charmaine Anderson fa 11 anys updated by Alin Alexandru Matei fa 11 anys 4
Hi guys,  not to whine, but I noticed with the new version, my app now takes 2 minutes to launch when I open IB3.  It previously only took about 20 secs or so to load before v. 342.  IB3 boots right away, its just when I click on the Books icon to load my app that I now see a colorful spinning little wheel for about a minute, then I see the little clock icon and then my app loads about a minute after that.

Also, it would be nice on the next release if you could make the IB3 install the butterfly launch IB3 icon on my desktop.  I tried dragging it to my desktop from my Applications folder, but after doing that,  the program started loading very slowly so I uninstalled it and reinstalled IB3 and click on the icon in the applications folder to boot IB3.  Not sure if moving the icon to my desktop in previous install may be causing the slow load I'm now experiencing but thought you might want to know. Thanks for your time.
Answer
On the Mac version there are no shortcuts so neither on the builder. We think at some point you must have dragged the application from the disk image to your *desktop* instead of to your Applications folder, which is maybe why you remember a shortcut being there.
For the the second problem, the load problem, we will need a copy of your app to see what is wrong. Could you send a copy if it at ezra@interactstudios.com ? Thank you for the feedback.
