TimerDisplay

Jen Hoyte 10 years ago • updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 10 years ago • 2
I'm trying to display a timer in a different text element.  So I set Target to the text element, Timer to the timer element.  At runtime, the time shows in the timer element but not in the text element.  So, how should this be set up?  Thanks.

clearing cache issues

Ann K AlteredEssence 12 years ago • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 12 years ago • 2

i cannot get the cache to clear properly.  i will clear the cache on a page and it will show the - - then when i go to the next page and return immediately after, the original cache size i just cleared shows up again.  I have even tried clearing the cache, closing the program and when I reopen the page it still show the original cache size as when i began. this happens on all pages.

You can manually clear your cache by deleting the folder called "cache" located in your app folder.


We recreate the cache each time you run in Interact mode so I am not sure there is an issue going on here.

frame animation and linear animation

Melissa Lind 12 years ago • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago • 0
If I want to do a frame animation and random animation with the same element is it better to do two separate interactions or to do it as one interaction.

Right now I have it as one interaction as well as two additional: a tap stop animation and drag, move, but when I play it in the builder I get this error code. Too much for one element?

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

Restarting InteractBuilder is recommended.

altering duplicated element and animation

Ann K AlteredEssence 12 years ago • updated by Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 years ago • 2

I created an animation and an element to activate the animation when tapped which was then duplicated 7 times to save from having to recreated the same set up on each. I changed the names of the element and the animations sequentially so each element would have its own identification.  When I attempt to change the target for the copied items so it will activate the the proper animation the following error message appears. 


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

Were these frame animations?  I wasn't able to recreate this issue although I found another problem when duplicating frame animations.

Give duplicate same z-index plus 1 as original

SeanB 11 years ago • updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago • 0
Um, please consider giving a duplicated element the same z-index as it's source element, +1. This way it stays at the same level, not flying to the top above all other elements that should be above it. Thanks!
Answer
Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago
A duplicated element is considered a new element so that's why is placed on top of all elements.

Hello. Mavericks and Interactplayer / Interactbuilder

c vega 11 years ago • updated by Alin Alexandru Matei 11 years ago • 2
Hi!  In the recent month I have been working in a iMac 10.8.5, 3.1 GHz, Core i7 with 16 GB.  Both, the Builder and the Player run fine.  This morning, I updated my previous Air 10.6.8 to Mavericks, as I read that the new system would be faster and more efficient.  However, when trying to run the Builder and the Player I found that both have some issues.  The common one and that I find relevant in terms of timings for animations, etc is that both of them, either in the Interact mode or in the Player itself run very slow... Before installing Mavericks I was able to see my app in the Player of the Air.  Any recommendation?

Many thanks!

Manage Action Sets - hard to use (cannot choose parent for grouped actions)

Truman Kong 10 years ago • updated by Inna Komarovsky 10 years ago • 1
Using the Manage Action Sets dialog is a pain. Same actions are grouped together. So when I want to set the chains dependence, it is impossible to choose which action (in the group) to be its parent. I guess the program just set the parent to be the first action in the group.

Please let us choose or let us set the Parent Action Set manually in the Action tab. Or let us undo the grouping.
