Beta 19: Question & Answer 2 Crash

[netninja]

The Q&A Object causes a crash on my iPhone 4 after clicking a button to make it pop up and then trying to move onto the next frame. On PC it displays the popup box, but even then I wouldn't say it's in the spot that I expect it to be.

Here is the file:

and here is the screenshot of the crash:


Here is what I am trying to do:


But I was also interested in just a message with only one button such as "okay". Is this possible with the Q&A object or any other object? If not, can we please have a "popup" object to display some text with an okay button?


By the way, the forum doesn't seem to let me upload files bigger than 1MB anymore, I also can't upload images (PNG/JPG,etc).

Hmm good idea with the rating popup! I've found this small library which might be a good extension later down the track

It basically only launches the rate pop-up after the user has launched the app 15 times, or after 30 days. Just so it doesn't get too annoying, and you can target the people that like the app (the ones that open it more often are more likely to rate it highly).

All the best apps have it However we still can't open a webpage in Safari so it's not so useful yet!

A port of "Cellosoft's Popup Message 2" would do what you want.

I can confirm that the Q&A object is not displayed on the device, regardless whether the answers jump to a new frame or not. Same result whether visible at start or by ask the quesion action.

Got confirmation that the Q&A wasn't fully ported, so we'll have to wait for upcoming updates to use it.

This has been fixed. It now looks exactly like on netninjas screenshots.

Note that the last answer in the Q&A object will always have a slightly different color and a bigger distance to the rest like here:


It looks like iOS does this automatically. If people want to, I will see if I can remove the effect.

In case you find that it's possible to remove the effect, maybe you can add a checkbox in properties so that we can have the option of removing it or not, according to the type of situation.

Btw, thanks a lot for this!

I do not know if it will be possible to add new properties at this time. Maybe we will find a temporary workaround to disable the effect. Depends on what people want

[BHGames]

How about setting it at runtime with two actions "Enable/Disable default third-button behavior"? (I´m just thinking loud, since the current default behavior is perfect for me).
