Several fades don't produce the didExitScene event at the right time.

Basically the title says it all.

I haven’t checked all the fades, just the ones I was planning to use, but crossFade, slideLeft and slideRight all generate the didExitScene event incorrectly, basically immediately after exitScene.

Hack for now?

Setting up a timer event in the exitScene for the same amount of time as the transition lasts, so basically a fake creating of the didExitScene event.

If you don’t mind, could you make a very simple example of this and file it as a bug report?  We are working on some storyboard changes (Storyboard 2.0) and we want to make sure the engineers see problems like this.  Use the “Report a Bug” link above.  We appreciate it.

Will do, but tomorrow when I have time. I have a list of other bugs I need to report as well, so makes sense for me to do them all at the same time.

Note to self: Stop using the word basically repeatedly in a single post…

OK submitted. The bug submission page is a bit annoying though, forcing you to submit something for the ‘code to reproduce bug’ when a single file wasn’t enough in this case (zipped up the project and attached at the bottom).

While I’m at it, can you pass on my request to the engineers that the total time taken for a transition actually respects the duration specified? Some of them take twice as long (presumably one ‘duration’ for the screen coming off, another for the new screen coming in). It makes zero sense and potentially messes with other timed things.

Cheers!

Hi,

are there any news about fixing this bug? It is still there (last public release).

Cheers,

Running into this bug now. didExitScene does not wait for scene transition to complete.

The new Composer library has all of the Storyboard bug fixes that have been reported recently.  You might want to consider trying that library instead.

Hi Rob,

sounds good. When will the “Starters” have the possibility to test the new API? Is it possible in Composer to reload a scene with transitions? This would be a nice feature.

Quoted for relevance.

How do you transition what’s already on the screen?  There is only one copy of the scene and it’s already showing.  I guess you could fade it out to black and back, but that’s the only one that makes sense because there rest have to have another view to slide/move/crossFade into place.

Hi Rob,

i know that it is not straightforward to implement. For example i have implemeted it by switching always between 2 screens (Scenes).

I do not know very much about the Graphics 2.0 stuff but perhaps there is a posibillity to copy the complete screen an use the copy for the transition.
