published dimensions don't stick

SeanB 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 4
See the first image here I have the iphone dimensions set:
Image 163

I threw in my shelf thumbnail as the nav icon. I see it flash briefly, then the screen resizes up to some larger dimension. I see this on my iphone 4:
Image 164

There is no pinch/zooming, no navigation, and none of the links work.

I am unable to test anything on my phone.

Next steps once book is ready

SeanB 10 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 10 years ago 7
Once we have our app working, and are standing by for you to compile it, are there other steps we can take meantime, to prepare for the different marketplaces? Such as icon designs, account setups? Do you have any such support materials like this for us authors? Thanks!
Answer

Hi Sean,

If you want to use one app for different marketplaces, it will automatically resize proportionally to fit within the different screen sizes, with a little black space around whichever dimension is larger. If you do prefer to create different versions of the app, you can duplicate the app, change the dimensions, and adjust the artwork to apply to different screen sizes. This decision is up to you : )

Regarding the app icon, as long as the icon you included in your app publishing materials is a 1024x1024 square without rounded corners, the icon will be adjusted (size and rounded corners radius) for each marketplace. The following user guide article describes this as well as other publishing options: Publishing to the App Marketplaces.

JPG's indentified as unknown

abecedarian 10 years ago updated 10 years ago 7
All of the jpg's I have created in InDesign CS 5.5 are identified as "unknown" file types when saved by InteractBuilder in the folder for the project, and are therefor unavailable as files within the app.    I purchased a jpg online, and that file is identified properly.  I've accessed the jpg's in other programs with no difficulty, and my operationg system (Yosemite) identifies the files as jpg's.  I did save one of the jpg files as a png (which you can't do with INDD, unfortunately) and that is read properly.

Hi there,

What steps did you take to save the jpg files and import them into InteractBuilder? I'll try to recreate this so that we can find a way around it or report the glitch to our lead developer.

Thank you,
Inna

Sharing issue

Laura Stout 11 years ago updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago 5
I am trying to share a new version of my app to my iPad.
It keeps showing the old version instead. I have uninstalled Interact Player and downloaded again, but still not working. The "sharing" folder on my hard drive has the correct day and time.
Answer
Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago
In the "sharing folder" there should be a folder named by your app's name containing a MainFiles.zip and some other files. 
Also do you have the latest update of  InteractPlayer on your iPad?

SelColor User Selection box is too small

halerhys@hotmail com 10 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago 12
Hi, your updates with the FillColor glitch seem to have worked, but I'm having a new problem now I'm able to test my app out properly.. The User Selectable SelColor box is really useful and perfect for what I'm wanting to achieve, but is annoyingly just too small to use it easily and accurately. Is there any way I can change the size of it myself, or would I have to wait for another update? If you could make it at least 600 pixels wide that'd be great, as it would suit all device resolutions.

Hi, I've let our lead developer know about this suggestion, and we'll look into adjusting the size of the color selection window. Thank you for the suggestion!

Hidden text element audio plays on page load when set to Play audio only if visible

Charmaine Anderson 11 years ago updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago 5
I have a narrated text element that is hidden and set to play narrated audio and word highlighting only if element is visible.  I have an animated graphic button that on Tap will show the text element.  
Problem: The hidden element audio plays on page load before the button is clicked and the word highlighting doesn't work when the button is clicked to show the text element. 

To reproduce:
Create a button and set to OnTap show the hidden text  element.
Assign to Text element: Make Element hidden at runtime, add narration audio, word highlighting to yes, set timing and set to play narration on page load IF element is visible. In Interact mode the audio will play before the hidden element is visible.
and Text highlighting does not work. See screenshots below if that helps.

Thanks for any suggestions on a workaround.

For now try to use a counter to get around the issue you mentioned, hopefully that will work.  We will investigate the issue in the meantime.

Props Info does not update

SeanB 11 years ago updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago 2
  1. Click an item, opening it's Props panel
  2. Click Info
  3. note it's position (15,91)
  4. click it's position, X field is selected
  5. enter 91 for X and click "Tap to Set". Item moves right to X=91
  6. Click now active Undo button, item moves back left to X=15
  7. Close the props window (which still says 91 - didn't update) by deselecting item
  8. select item
  9. open the Props window again
Expected: Info tab should show Location(X,Y)       15,91
Actual   it shows 91,91.

The props window never checks the actual position of the element since the Undo. Only after you manually move it.

Suggested fix: props/info/location should validate it has latest position of the element, to account for Undo actions.
