  • Just realised what you are trying to do, I don't think that will ever work.

    If I understand correctly continue will be set to false when a tween finishes, but the for loop will always end before any of those tweens are completed.

    Perhaps it would be better for you to explain what you are trying to do before anyone can help.

  • It's hard to tell what is going on from the screenshot, what is setting the continue variable to false?

  • squale

    Can you file the issue in our bug tracker? It's better to submit problems over there since we look at it pretty often. Reports in the forums are more likely to get lost under new messages.

  • I thought it was, sorry about that. Then you should use the Is Between Values condition, which will do what you are describing. You just need to provide the value you are testing and the lower and upper bounds of the check.

    Add conditions for each range you want to check and you should be good.

  • It should be part of the System.

  • I would try using the Evaluate expression condition.

    In the value of the condition you can do something like: 

    (your_variable > min_value) & (your_variable < max_value)

    That translates to your_variable GREATER THAN min_value AND your_variable LOWER THAN max_value. If that that is true then your_variable is within that range.

    If you want to test for different ranges you would have different condition and do different actions for each condition.

  • I haven't looked at that code in a while, but one thing I remember is that the numerical sorting isn't smart at all. If you explicitly specify it and a file name can't be converted into a number then it won't do it. That means that it won't infer 01 from Clipboard01, for instance. If you tell it to sort file names that it can't convert to numbers they will all end up having the same priority, so I think that's why using numerical sorting with the files named Clipboard## ends up doing something unexpected.

    Another thing I remember is that explicitly specifying numerical sorting ended up being redundant after some iterations of the feature. If "sort" is not specified at all it just tries to do alphabetical sorting, unless all the file names can be converted to numbers, then it will try to do numerical sorting. That is the sensible thing to do in most cases.

    Lastly there is "no-sort" which just adds the files in the order the browser sees them, which can be different to the order shown by an operating system.

    So to explain each case:

    1. orig - no sort: that is the order in which the files are seen by the browser, sometimes it's the same as the OS but it is not guaranteed.
    2. orig - numerical: the importer is trying to convert those file names to numbers, but it can't so the sorting doesn't work.
    3. orig - sorting removed: the importer defaults to alphabetical sorting and because the file names end with a 2 digit number starting with "0" the sorting works as expected. In this case, if the names didn't have the "0", the sorting wouldn't work because, as an example, in strings "11" comes before "2". Not very intuitive, but that's how it works.
    4. renamed - no sort: same as first case.
    5. renamed - numerical: all file names can be converted to numbers, so it works as expected.
    6. renamed - sorting removed: the importer sees that all file names can be converted to numbers, so it does numerical sorting and it works as expected.

    To sum it up, the best is to just create your files with a number as the file name. If you want to add a string part you need to make sure the number part of the name is 0 padded to make sure your get the correct sorting when it tries to do alphabetical sorting.

  • Can you make the file public?

  • Just to clarify, there currently is no scripting API to work with flowcharts.

  • On top of citron2010 suggestion, you can also press F5 while the preview window has focus.

    F5 is the browser's shortcut to reload any web page, so it also reloads the preview window.

    Furthermore, if you get used to changing the focus of open windows using Alt+Tab you will be able to refresh preview rather quickly just using the keyboard.

  • This will be fixed in the next beta.

    Posting in the forum worked out this time because it was a relatively easy fix, but you can never know if something is easy to fix or not.

    If it is something more difficult, chances are high that anything posted in the forum will be forgotten as it is pushed down by newer posts.

    Can you share your project?

  • I don't know what your problem is exactly, but executing actions every tick doesn't sound like a great solution.

    Ideally you should be able to resize your image only when it is needed, rather than every tick.

  • Yes, that will execute the associated actions every tick, it's functionally the same as the Every Tick condition.

    You can try updating a Text instance with the time expression in the action block of an empty condition to see a visual representation of what is going on.
