I have a card with 2 images. Each image covers the whole card.
I am trying to show the Layer 2 image show when the card opens. After about 1 sec I want the image at layer 1 to be uncovered with the iris visual effect.
Then I do some stuff (play a short audio file) and then I show the Layer 2 picture with visual effect.

When I run this in the IDE it all works like a charm. (the audio doesn't work but that's ok)
When I test on the iOS simulator. Everything works fine except the visual effects are completely missing.
Here is the code I am using:

on openCard
wait 1 Second
Hide image"Portal"with visual effect iris open very slowly
put "174.aiff" into tAudio
if the environment is mobile then
mobilePlaySoundOnChannel tAudio,"current", "now"
else
end if
wait 6 sec
show image Portal with visual effect iris close very slowly
go cd 1
end openCard

Am I doing something wrong?
I am using LC 7.0.1 on a Macbook Air with Yosemite OS.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tom

From the dictionary

• plain
• checkerboard - Desktop / Web
• venetian blinds - Desktop / Web
• iris close | iris open - Desktop / Web
• zoom close | zoom in | zoom open | zoom out - Desktop / Web
• wipe up | wipe down | wipe right | wipe left - Desktop / Web
• dissolve
• push up | push down | push right | push left
• reveal up | reveal down | reveal right | reveal left - Desktop / Web / iOS / Android
• shrink to bottom | shrink to center | shrink to top - Desktop / Web
• stretch from bottom | stretch from center | stretch from top - Desktop / Web
• scroll up | scroll left | scroll down | scroll right - iOS / Android
• curl up | curl down - iOS
• flip left | flip right - iOS. The background behind the flip is taken from the background color of the current stack - i.e. the card is cut out and flipped over the stack.

iris is Desktop/Web only

I should have thought to look in the dictionary.
What a shame, the iris effect is perfect for the app I am working on.

Thanks
Simon.

try this when using visual effects... lock the screen, do what you wish to do and then unlock the screen with your choice of visual effect

Code: Select all

   lock screen for visual effect
   set the visible of image "portal" to false
   unlock screen with dissolve slow
