Tapping through a transparent layer

Ranco 11 aastat tagasi uuendaja Ezra Weinstein (Administrator) 11 aastat tagasi 5

I want to be able to click the visible part of an element that is behind another semi-transparent element. 

For example in this screenshot, the girl is behind a wave. I can only click on the very top of her exposed head, whereas I expect to be able to click her entire visible body:

Image 30

I know is is per-pixel tap test, but still...

If there's a way around that - please advise

Thanks,

Ranco

The best way to handle this is to add a transparent element in front of the image of the girl and add your action set to that element. This is not a bug because transparent elements can have action sets and the transparent part of an element needs to be clickable.

By "Transparent" you mean alpha-only image, or a hidden element?

Why do you need to allow is a transparent element action sets at all?

Maybe there should be an "allows actions" parameter to an element...

a transparent element is for example a png that doesn't have any colors on it, not even the white background.

You can import a png in builder and set the Opacity to 0% and there you have a transparent element.

I would assume, that you would need to click "through" transparent pixels more often, than you would need to have an actionset on a transparent pixel?

I think it would be nice to be able to do both, so perhaps a global setting for whether you need to be able to click transparent pixels or not, and then being able to change it on specific objects? That way, we could have a click-through set for the entire app, and have 3 images with clickable transparent pixels. 

It would be very useful in many ways. You could make all images 1024*768 px in a stack of layers in Photoshop, and then have all objects place excactly where you want them from the start, when you import them to the stage. 
There is a feature in the element properties where you can set it's opacity, if this is what you suggested:
No, I'm talking about the same thing Ranco is talking about. If there's transparent pixels in a png image, these "covers" the image below, so you can't select it directly, even though it's in plain sight. 

If it's visible, I want to be able to select it, if that's more clear :)
