JPG's indentified as unknown

abecedarian 12 years ago • updated 12 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

Translucent Image Appears Blocky

Data Command 13 years ago • updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 13 years ago • 0
This is a bug specific to my app: "DD & Daddy's Big Night Out"
Page Title: Page 11 – There is a translucent “window” that scrolls down between the driver and passengers. In the builder it works fine. On the iPad the window PNG image is blocky after the linear animation starts.  This image as imported from Photoshop with the other objects on the page.

Sharing issue

Laura Stout 13 years ago • updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 13 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 13 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 12 years ago • updated by Inna Komarovsky 12 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 13 years ago • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 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 13 years ago • updated by Inna Komarovsky 12 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.

SetText popup

Jen Hoyte 12 years ago • updated 12 years ago • 6
Is there a way to position the popup displayed by SetText?  Alternatively to allow the user to move the window?  It is covering up what they need to be looking at as they enter information in the popup.

suggestion: move random more randomly

Melissa Lind 13 years ago • updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 13 years ago • 0
Hey there,

Your move random action seems to skip the top and right sides of the screen, I'd love a more disperse placement. Thanks!

Since it's a random placement you can't predict the location. I tried to recreate this situation but the element was placed on the right side to. Thank you for your feedback.

frame animation

Melissa Lind 13 years ago • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 13 years ago • 0

I brought in a frame animation, selected another element to engage the animation with a tap. But I forgot to rename the animation, so I changed the name. Then I went back to the frame animation to adjust the speed. When I selected the frame animation button I got this error:


An application error occurred while attempting to perform the last action.

Restarting InteractBuilder is recommended.

This should be fixed in the next version, we were not able to recreate this exact scenario but there is a similar scenario that we are addressing.

Closing Word Highlighting Dialog leaves Highlighting Start dialog hanging

Data Command 12 years ago • updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 12 years ago • 1
If you click on a word in Word Highlighting to adjust it and then close the Word Highlighting dialog the Highlighting Start dialog remains hanging open and the "Tap to Set" button doesn't work.  Suggest adding a cancel button to Highlighting Start dialog in case a bad number is entered.  Pressing the "Done" button on the Word Highlighting dialog should close all child windows with a warning dialog if value was changed.Image 209
