Oh yeah, those were there from an earlier experiment.

OK, I figured it out. Selecting the option in the popup starts a "for each" loop (see #579 and 580 in image). Then on the loop it looks for the name that was stored as an alterable string (compare two general items--- 581 and 582), then when it finds it, it changes the text paragraph of that specific String object.

(Note: When you click to bring up the popup menu, it saves the name of the item clicked on as an alterable string on another object. Now that the option to "Allow alterable values for counters and strings" is there, I could store the name in an alterable string of the qualifier, but to change it now, for me, is more work than it's worth.)

I haven't used qualifiers in a while and I'm having trouble. I have several String objects, each with two paragraphs. I want to be able to change the paragraph of only the one I select-- click on it to bring up a Popup object, then select the paragraph number in the popup. But it's not working, it's changing it on all of the items that are part of that qualifier group. The Popup does show that the correct item has been selected (I have it set to use the name of the item clicked on as the title of the Popup). Once you click on one of the strings to bring up the Popup, this (image below) is what I'm doing. Any idea what I'm forgetting or doing wrong?

To do this, enable the 'Allow alterable values for counters and strings' option in the 'Events' tab of your applications properties.

Thanks! Now I feel like such an idiot. But in my defense, I AM an idiot.

Would it be possible to add Flags, Alterable Values & Strings to the String object?

Wow, thanks! I only took a quick look, and won't be able to really get into it until later, but it looks like what I'm after. Thanks again!

I'm sure this is something fairly common, but I've never had to do it before. I have a large image that's draggable. And I have some smaller images, imagine a pin stuck in a map, that move with the big image. That's simple enough using "Always set position relative to the big image object." But I also want to be able to have a toggle that would let me move the pins freely, then when the toggle is turned off, have the pins now move with the big image, but stuck to their new position. What is the best way to do this? Also, there are about 100 pins, so I'm hoping it's not something I need to make 100 versions of. I hope what I'm trying to do make sense, and thanks in advance for any help or pointers.

Hi Fernando, actually I'm now trying to determine if I'm having a problem or if I AM the problem. If I determine that the problem isn't me, I'll post.

I'm having problems also, with Active Picture not behaving like it used to in regard to portrait and landscape. Is there a fix I can try?

Unfortunately, replace color isn't supported by android at all

Ah, that would explain it. Thanks!

BUG:
Replace Color isn't working on Active Object in Android. It just makes the object invisible.

It seems fine here. Tested it with Android 10 (Lenovo tablet) and Android 14 S23 Ultra. Note that you set min 9 and API 11 with build 34. Why don't you try with min 5.1, target 14, and build with API 34? Let me know.

Just to be sure, you may download the APO object for android here. The same mentioned in a previous post and available also in the discord Clickteam channel: Please login to see this link.

Thanks! Changing the min and target builds did it! The kcpica.zip file that you linked to here seems to be more recent than the one on Discord, but it was changing of the min/target that did the trick, because after it worked I went back and set them back to what I had, just to see if it was that or the kcpica.zip. Thanks for your help with this!!!

Hi! I've tried it on half a dozen devices and Android versions (v10-13). Two devices I have here at the moment are a Galaxy S23 Ultra (Android 13), and a BLU View 2 B130DL (Android 10).

Thanks!

I think saw a little patch in Discord for fix it. Refer to it.

Thanks. I tried that before posting here. It didn't work for me.

Is there a fix coming for Active Picture in Android? It's very broken-- pictures don't load.

Would it be possible to add the ability to set an active object to ignore mouse/tap interaction so if it's over another active object you'll select/move/whatever the object beneath it? [EDIT: Essentially, to make it an 'inactive object.']

And preferably the ability to do this at runtime as an action. There are times when I have Active Object A that uses drag and drop, and needs to slide under Active Object B. But if it's completely obstructed by Active Object B you can no longer drag it. There are work-arounds, of course, but they add complexity and make re-use more of a pain. Being able to make an Active Object invisible to the mouse or tap would be great.

I was wondering what to watch tonight, but this is way better. Thanks!

Hi! I'm trying to load an image from the Gallery into the Active object via "Animation-->Load Frame" but it doesn't work. I just get a black screen (or maybe black image that's filling the screen) and then it crashes. Is there a trick to doing it? I have no trouble loading images into the Active Picture object, but I need to use Active. I'd appreciate any help, tips, tricks, ice cream.

fwtep you can zoom with alt + scroll, I'm not sure if there's a way without scrolling (must work with gestures tho), but in some places it's possible to use - and + keys.

Thanks! I never knew that! That's exactly what I need. (Well, maybe it'd be slightly better if it would remember the zoom, but that's OK.) And it does work on my laptop trackpad with two finger zoom (moving up and down, not pinch). Now if we could get the FFMPEG extension to be able to use hardware acceleration I'd be ultra happy.

I apologize in advance for this being a request.

I'm enjoying the new version a LOT, thanks for all the effort put into it! There's one thing I'd like, though I have no idea if it would be easy or not. When you do a "User clicks within a zone" (mouse event), would it be possible to allow zooming of the Frame Editor that pops up? I often do large resolution projects, and I could work much faster if I could zoom out to see the whole frame (right now it puts it to 100%). Plus, as it is now, when scrolling around, duplicate click zones are drawn (see attached image). You can get rid of the duplicates by clicking on the Zone Setup window, but it's an unnecessary step. I know this isn't a high priority thing, but it sure would make things easier for me, especially when I'm using a laptop, as the smaller screen makes it more of a pain.
