— however i have seen now that it seems that while it does no longer crash, it also doesn't seem to work in iOS. Is that normal? Is there any chance this could work?

Sincerely,

Caleb

rexrainbow thanks for the upgrade suggestion, apparently my plugin was the old one so that fixed the iOS crashing issue.

Thanks!

Caleb

anyone have any advice for crosswalk produced apk's that show a solid color across the screen? audio and touch responses seemt to work just the visuals are solid.. and the color is not a scene background color.. in my case it was a light brown..

rexrainbow hi Rex, thanks first of all again for making this plugin. However I have a bug to report with it and it would mean a lot to me if you might know of some fix to this. here is my situation:

I am using Ejecta http://epicspace.net/insurgence/ejecta/ and this seems to work very well for making porting games.

Here is a full tutorial https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/907/de ... e-easy-way

What basically happens is when i hit a scene that has the tag text plugin in it, the app locks up. XCode sees the error and has some feedback about it.. i'm not a proper coder and not used to xcode, but this is what it says when the error occurs.

xcode says:

"Ejecta[791:60b] TypeError: 'undefined' is not a constructor (evaluating 'new window["canvas_text"]()') at line 19235 in c2runtime.js"

this is through the emulator, but i have tested on hardware and the lockup occurs there exactly the same.

I would keep getting this lockup and i tried a LOT of stuff to fix this. Then for the heck of it, i simply deleted this object and the app no longer locked up (although it was missing some text since the object was gone)

If you could check this out and find a solution I'd be greatful. If I did something wrong of course I'll be happy to fix, but it seems like it works fine on browser, it's maybe just some syntax thing that the ejecta/xcode environment are looking for that isn't there.

Thanks!

Ok so I did some digging on this and I got it to work, but only when i removed the condition "preloads complete". it seems like this hangs up when in iOS. I'm using Ejecta, so I realize this is not the official path to publishing and maybe CocoonJS and XDA don't experience this issue.

I still have all my sounds set to preload.. not sure if that even does anything or not, but it didn't cause any trouble, it was just the "preload complete" that was hanging things up. I may, if I have time see if I can remove the preloads altogether, however for now, just know that you might have trouble if you use the preload complete command in an app for iOS through EJecta (which rocks)

Thanks,

Caleb

Hi there,

I've run into this before in the past, but i'm looking at it again and doing a bit of time consuming trial and error and wanted to get other peoples experiences.

So I am trying to use preload but it seems to hang up.. basically like this:

on start of layout:

preload sound1

preload sound2

preload etc etc.. i have about 65 things i'm preloading

it seems to hang up though when the next behavior is that

preload complete:

go to next layout

perhaps its not needed, but when i setup some alternative ways (adding a button to go to the layout) that works fine.

the reason i need this is the first real scene, with no preloading seems to have trouble with two audio clips firing off at the same time due to what i can only imagine is some kind of loading lag time..

so yea i just thought I'd poll others who have used preloading for iOS apps and if there are any tricks or something that I'm missing

Thanks!

yea noob mistake on my part... i used mouse object.

The untangling is tedious, but it's coming along well enough.. i learned a lot in this project..

my 2nd project I did it right (using touch) ArcadEd Thanks for confirming thought.. its a pain in the ass, but the lesson is taken in stride

Thanks!

Caleb

Hi there,

So I'm in the process of swapping out an extensive number of mouse click events with touch events. this is tedious and certainly prone to bugs.

I was just wondering if there wasn't some kind of systematic way to replace all.. kind of a "find all / replace".. or some kind of override..

like "every time a touch is made, count it as a click"

I'm not sure this is possible, but I at least wanted to pose the question for anyone out there who might know an answer or lay to rest my question and for others who might have a similar situation

Thanks!

Caleb

yea that's what it sounds like he's looking for. if i understand you right, it sounds like you want to have a kind of popup like you see with items found in world of warcraft armory and other websites.. it would seem that you could make kind of effect (although not a word specific as you might like) by having the name of the item be a text object.. then a mouse over occurs, create another container object perhaps that holds a background graphic and the information needed.

ah ok now i see.. so yes i put two sub events.. one cluster which includes the OR, which i never thought to do it that way.. i thought just having two objects next to each other would be sufficient, not using an or to have them both be compared.. then i had the 2nd sub event have the "it is these specific things".. so things next to each other is basically "and" right?

If that's true, then that explains why having them next to each other not working because then I'm basically saying.. something is var1 AND var2 which never happens..

So I can see now that basically having multiple touch events side by side can be problematic.. using these sub events allows the same touch event to be compared to several things.. this explains some other issues I've had in the past, which I had to workaround.

Thanks!

Caleb

GodSpear could you explain a little more? i'm not sure i totally get what you're situation is. From what I can gauge, you mean something like this:

you click a word and that pops up a text bubble and text field and that text being displayed on the fly is not showing any formatting?

Hi there,

Ok so I have this bug I'm trying to isolate on iOS that doesn't happen in browser (I'm using Ejecta).. I believe I can isolate the cause, but its the logic i'm trying to setup to better do this that's giving me trouble.

The project I have can be thought of a chapters and pages.. there are 5 chapters.. and each has various pages.. when it hits a certain page in the first chapter, it locks up.. i'm trying to get past it without breaking other things to see if this bug is the only of its kind or if it occcurs again in a similiar situation in the following chapters (each chapter having this same scene appear in it behaving in a similar fashion.

so here's what I'm having trouble with..

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5a2uddu5ugltw ... 0issue.PNG

my logic above is trying to say.. "when this is this page and chapter, do one thing", any other time do the normal thing.." but the behavior in the program is behaving as such. Instead it seems to freeze at chapter 1, page 1.

I want to create a rule that is to the effect.. when I click the "next page" button and I'm on i'm in chapter 1 page 11, jump past the next page to the next chapter... if it's not the page, then behave normal..

Part of me thinks that maybe if i could get a big OR in between these too that might help, but I've had trouble understanding how to properly nest groups of events. Whenever I've used or, it's making everything in a single group each have an OR between it.. this is fine in some cases, but I would want the OR to be between two groups of code and I can't seem to figure out how that would be achieved.

any advice on this would be much appreciated. it seems very simple and straight forward, but the results indicate i'm doing something wrong.
