Storyboard Designer

The release of Storyboard Suite 3.2 includes a significant collection of underlining stability and performance enhancements.

Major Changes

Scrolling list table enhancements

In the past there was a large amount of code that a user had to implement in order to add scrolling to tables. Now a lot of that code has been incorporated into Storyboard making it easier for the customer to add scrolling capabilities to tables.

3D Control Editing Improvements

No need to input the positioning values into the properties view for the 3D control any longer. 3D element positioning can now be done using the mouse and key combinations.

Off-Screen Content Editing Support

Before the user was limited to viewing controls and layers within the bounds of the screen only. This was problematic in situations when controls started off screen for animations for example. Now they are viewable off screen within the Screen Editor.

PSD Text Import to Font Variable

Variables are now created for text controls by default and assigned the appropriate font.

Inline Editing Improvements: Polygons

Drawing Polygons has become much easier. A user can now use their mouse to plot points within the Polygon control to create their shape. Once points have been plotted, they can also drag those points to reposition.

Edge Relative Resizing of Controls

Edge relative resizing has been added to Storyboard Designer to help users have a finer control over sizing their controls.

Known Issues

3D Control/Layer Rotation Does Not Respect Alpha

SWT does not handle alpha correctly causing a white background instead of a transparent one when a control or layer is rotated within Designer. Control or layer is displayed correctly in the runtime.

OS X

For 3D features to work correctly in Storyboard Designer, users must have OS X 1.6.8 (or greater) along with Java Update 16 installed.

OS X v10.9 Mavericks

Due to the new security features in Mavericks, the warning "Crank Storyboard Suite Installer can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" will be presented during installation. Simply click OK to continue.
