Where are the instructions on how to set the true/false values for the Tic Tac Toe?

Carousel Community Interaction would be nice, but how to install this in Engage when there is no .artpkg file?
regards
George

Same as CUBEWEB and the Tic-Tac-Toe doesn’t appear to work either.

Cubeweb- did you download the Carousel .artpkg file here? I just confirmed that the download works fine.

3MVeach- could you please provide more details? I just confirmed again that the Tic-Tac-Toe interaction works fine. You need to request download of the zip file here, unzip the file, then double-click the .artpkg file.

You’ll both need to make sure you’re using the latest version of Engage ’09, too.

I found my mistake. I failed to read the readme.txt, which tells how to set the True/False values. Got it now.

Glad to hear it, Janet! Thanks for confirming.

I have latest Version of Engage. Verified.

Downloaded ZIP file from TTT site. Placed file in temporary folder of external HD.

Unzipped file.

DC on .artpkg file.
New folder appears with six files. None are executable.
???

DL Carousel zip to temp folder on external HD.

Unzipped file. New folder created with six files. No .artpkg and no executables.

Updates on all other interactions and new interactions went without a hitch. Didn’t even have to DL them. Just clicked OPEN and all went well.

Also, now Engage takes about 3 minutes to start up in order to verify other packages installed. They are there and work fine. Have rebooted machine with same extremely slow startup..

Hi Gabe

When I download the Zip-file for Carousel, after unzipping I have the following files: Carousel.swf, icon.png, package.xml, smallicon.png, template.intr, and thumb.png
There is nothing more and nothing like an .artpkg – file.

kind regards
George

George,

Installing an Engage Interaction is done by double-clicking the .artpkg file. A zipped version of the Carousel was provided for users having difficulty downloading the .artpkg file. The zip file contains the Carousel.artpkg file only. Gabe updated this link above.

Hi Dave
Absolutely no problem with BAR CHART because there is an artpkg. file. But I can try aand try and there ist not such a file in the Carousel folder. Also not in Gabe’s updated link above.

Cubeweb,

Try this

Thanks a lot. This is perfect.

thanks 3mveach,
Carousel works!

I too ran into the “no artpkg” issue… I found a very simple solution. Right-click the link you wish to save, save the target, in the “save-as” box save the file as “Carousel.artpkg” (or whichever one you are downloading), then you can just double click the file when it is saved and it will automatically install to AE! This worked flawlessly with IE on XP.

I am desparate for a venn diagram interaction. Anyone have one to share?

Fran,
You can always create one with the “Labeled Graphic” option.

I would love to see a marketplace for these interactions. I know that we would be willing to pay for additional interactive options.

Thanks for the feedback, Amy!

I too ran into the “no artpkg” issue…

I tried 3MVEACH solution but the link does not work

Thanks Dave, it worked.

Awesome!

Hey just wanted to let everyone know that I created another Interaction:
http://frameentered.com/content/articulate-engage-interaction-ipad-theme

It’s designed to look like an iPad.

Nice one.

BTW – I would love to have an interaction which allows sorting to groups: (at least) 2 groups, which items belongs where. Ages ago I had something like that in Flash (Flash 5 maybe..).

Hmm I like the idea Efrat.
how do you envision the media and text elements on the screen?
You might be able to use this in the meantime: http://www.frameentered.com/content/brainstorm-and-sort-articulate

I too ran into the problem with installing carousel. I used 3MVeach link and everything went through fine.

I was thinking about areas (right/left, or a shape that can define a hotspot area) to which you can drag-and-drop the objects (images or words).
I like clear-whitish designs in general.

Hi

Can anyone help me please. I’ve installed Carousel and Tic Tac Toe. They both work fine when I preview them from within the interaction and in PPT when I ‘preview this slide’, but if I preview ‘all slides’ (3 in this presentation), or publish the presentation they show no text or images.

Carousel shows none of the text (except the titles) and no images and Tic Tac Toe has no text at all.

Does anyone know what the problem might be, thank you

Lesley

If there is a Flipbook interaction or Tic Tac Toe interaction inserted into and before a Carousel interaction in Articulate Presenter, this can occur. I am in the process of tracking down the creators for Tic Tac Toe and the Flipbook. I believe there is something in thier code that is interfering with the Carousel code. For example, if you place 2 or more Tic Tac Toe interactions in the same Articulate Presenter presentation, and go back and forth between the two, this will break both of them. This happens for the Flipbook as well. If you insert 2 or more Carousel interactions, in the same Articulate Presenter presentation, they all work as expected. The workaround here, is to not use the other interactions or place the Carousel before the others in the presentation.

Hi

Thanks for the reply Dave, the presentation is a tester for Carousel, Tic Tac Toe and Bar Chart, so only 3 interactions and the Tic Tac Toe is at the end. So sounds like a different problem, but thanks for trying to help me.

Anyone else got any ideas?

Are the interactions in the order you stated above (Carousel, Bar Chart then the Tic Tac Toe?) If this is the case, try inserting in the following order:

Carousel
Tic Tac Toe
Bar Chart

I haven’t fully tested the Bar Chart interaction in conjunction with other interactions, however, placing this last, we help isolate the issue.

Let me know if you have any trouble with the Bar chart interaction.

James – I believe the Bar Chart is fine. I contacted David McClelland about the Tic-Tac-Toe interaction to bring some issues to his attention. I’ve also identified and corrected an issue in the Carousel interaction that would prevent the images from loading when inserted into Presenter. I will post a link here to this new updated Carousel Interaction by the end of today. Thank you all for your patience.

There are some issues related to the Tic-Tac-Toe Interaction when inserted with other interactions inside Presenter. David McClelland is working to correct this.

Sorry guys and gals – I didn’t make the 4th of July weekend deadline because there were other features I wanted to add to the Carousel Interaction. Instead of releasing this version and then another a week later, I was holding off. I Should have this wrapped up by this week.

Please stay tuned. Thank you all for your patience.

I have just released v1.5 of the Carousel interaction. Please use the link below to download and read any special instructions.

http://builtbyburton.com/category/download/

Thank you all for your support.

First of all thanks to all who contributed the new interactions.I only have the Stairstep and Tic-Tac-Toe in my presentation in that order and when I preview sometimes the Blackout happens only after 7 blocks have been turned and when I publish the text is all missing. Has anything else happened since the last comments. The Stairsteps work fine. It is just the Tic-Tac-Toe. I really like it and would hate to have to replace it with something else after all that work involved.

Thanks,

Dave Sullian

This is a known issue with the Tic-Tac-Toe interaction. Currently, this interaction does not work with some of the other interactions. David “Mac” McClelland, the creator of this interaction has been notified. I would recommend you contact him directly.

The workaround, is to use the Tic-Tac-Toe as a standalone Engage interaction outside of Presenter or the only interaction in a Presenter presentation.

hey how do I get two tab to show up at the same time in engage. This is for the Guided Interactions. I would like to see two arrows show up at the same time.

[…] version was create with the files that are provided with the Articulate Engage SDK. Any custom interaction built with the SDK is not supported by Articulate and is provided as is. I […]

Are there any alternative websites where I can download the Carousel interaction as http://builtbyburton.com/category/download/ is off-line.

Joe,

The Guided Image Interaction was designed to allow only a single arrow at a time.

Hi,

I could not download the Caroussel ARTPKG using the Internet Explorer web browser. I was successful using Firefox. Has the download been configured for Explorer users?

Steven,

I’m not sure why the .artpkg file wouldn’t work in IE and is why the zip version is offered. A zip file is most reliable when compatibility is an issue.

Hi, hoping someone can provide some help! I successfully installed the Carousel (v1.6), Flipbook and Stairstep interactions but now when I try to create ANY new Engage interaction, it freezes up. Any thoughts?

Hi Cheri,

Have you tried reinstalling the Articulate software? I believe that may resolve your issue.

If you continue to have problems, please submit a support case to us:

http://www.articulate.com/support/contact/

Cheri,

This just might be a coincidence. Installing new interactions shouldn’t interfere with the Engage functionality. If you can’t create with the default Tabs Interaction, please reinstall the Articulate Studio and try again. If you continue to have issues with this, please submit a case using the link below and an Articulate CSE will get back to you ASAP.

Hi all,
I would need some help with Tic-Tac-Toe interaction. What should I do if belor error occurs in the preview of tictactoe:
“incorrect value used for true or false:”

Where these values should be put in Engage? Is is also possible to use other language than English for “True” and “False” and “Submit” ?

Is there a possibility to ask also questions other than True-False format? For example Multiple answers?

Hi Innar,

I would recommend contacting the creator of the Tic-Tac-Toe interaction for support by using the links below:

When I try and download I get a folder none of which have the .art file. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks
Colin

Hi Colin- which interaction are you trying to download and what’s the link you’re using?

Colin,

Based on my testing, if you are attempting to download the Tic-Tac-Toe interaction, the folders you are seeing might be your own system files and folders. After clicking the link, Windows Explorer will open, prompting you to choose a location on your system to save the .zip file; I would recommend you select your Desktop. Please let us know if you need further assistance.

@Gabe @Dave,
Thank you both for responding. The interaction I was trying to download was the carousel. I used the multiple links that had been posted and I downloaded it six or seven times. Only once did I get the .artpkg the previous times I got the files that other users mentioned. I got it installed and it is working and I would like to thank you both for responding. This is something I have noticed before that I always don’t get the .artpkg files to download correctly.

Love the software and the fact that users can upload interactions they have created. Keep up the good work.

Colin

Hi Colin- great! Thanks for confirming that you were able to download the desired interaction.

I tired downloading the carousel interaction into Engage, it says it has been “installed” but when I went under Community Interactions I don’t see it there?

This should appear under the Community Interactions Tab when choosing to Create a New Interaction. Let us know if its not listed there. You might need to download the file again and re-install.

So I reinstalled Articulate and downloaded the trial and applied my serials to the updated versions and then downloaded the carousel interaction. It said that it installed but it still does not appear in that list.

Hi, I tried Tic Tac Toe, and it’s awesome. However, I got one problem. Some times, it doesn’t show notification to let users know that they have to play blackout in order to go to next slide. After users click “NO” for not playing blackout, they can’t go anywhere. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Alex,
I edit the instructions to indicate that they must play blackout to continue to the next slide….

It’s taken care of that issue for me.

Hi, Can we create fresh new engage interaction and also can we customize the default engage interactions? i.e. add multiple levels of steps in Process interaction just like Branching scenarios.

Because the source code for the Stairstep, Flashcards and Flipbook interactions are included with the Engage SDK, these are the only interactions that can be modified. The level of change or modifications are only limited by your coding experience or imagination.

As showcased at the top of this page, the Carousel, Bar Chart and Tic-Tac-Toe interactions are all new interactions built with the Engage SDK.

I hope this helps!

[…] From the Word of Mouth Articulate Blog […]

Hi,

I am working on an Articulate project and I used the SDK for customizing the interactions, and I really liked it.

I wanted to know if it is possible for me to get some previous SDK which have some default/built-in articulate interactions.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I wanted to know if it is possible for me to get SDK for customizing tabs and process interactions.

Purva,

The Engage SDK comes with the source code for the following interactions:

Flipbook, StairStep and FlashCards only.

Hi,

Was anyone able to come up with a solution to the problem with the tic-tac-toe interaction where it doesn’t work when being used with other interactions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I really like the tic tac toe. Is there a way to change the answers rather than just always True or False? I basically just need to change the actual words to something else and they will stay the same for each question. Keep in mind that I know zero, zip, nada about Flash development or html code. Thanks for any help or guidance you can provide.

About flashcard with engage09, i would like to buid question-anwer but also answer/question in a random generation. Is it possible? do i have to upload any adons?
thanks very much !

Hi, is there a way to download the Engage SDK? I haven’t found a working link.
This http://www.articulate.com/support/engage-09/requesting-the-engage-09-sdk does not work anymore.

Thanks

@Peter: Sorry for the confusion here.

Articulate is no longer offering the Engage software development kit, and does not provide support for it. However, if you already have the Engage SDK and need assistance, please post your questions in the dedicated community forum here:
