showOverlay isModal option not working in build .825

Hey folks, to make this helpful for us to track down, can someone seeing this problem create a small sample app that demonstrates it and file a bug report. Please make sure to include the versions it’s known to work with and the ones it does not. I’ve alerted the team to the problems being reported, but with out the bug report, it’s going to be hard to track it down.

Thanks
Rob

From my testing I cannot see that isModal is broken with the latest daily build.

Ensure you are not overriding display.newRect ( i think the crawlspace library does this? )
Aside from that we haven’t changed anything with isModal for a long time so it isn’t possible that it is being broken from daily build to daily build.

There are big plans for storyboard in the new year. The main goal of which is to make it easier to use and 100% reliable. [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 27171 reply_id: 136441[/import]

For anyone else having a problem with isModal, I just submitted a bug report that shows a problem in the simulator when viewing as iPhone, but not as iPad. On device I’m seeing the problem on both.

In a nutshell, there seems to be a narrow strip (maybe 30 pixels) on the right and left side that allow clicks to fall through past the overlay. So you only see it if you have buttons, etc., on the extreme right or left side.

Of course, maybe I’m just doing something weird, but we;ll see what CL has to say about it. :wink:

I am using daily build 1016 and still see the broken isModal behavior JA Whye describes. I have a strip of buttons on the left hand side of the screen. When I place an overlay scene on top with isModal = true, the buttons on the underlying scene are still touchable, but only on certain device types. For example I see the problem on Nook and iPhone but not on iPad. And I see the problem on actual devices, too, not just the simulator.

I’m going to attempt to create my own rectangle “underlay” to catch the touch events from falling through, but it would be nice if this problem could be addressed at the source.

Speaking of, how’s that Storyboard “rewrite from scratch” coming along Danny?

I am also experiencing the same issue in 1101. Any ideas?

Take a look at this video tutorial for a workaround for the issue:
