alice-teacher Possible Issue with Alice 2.2 (12-1-2011 release)

[James Vanderhyde]

The world doesn't "complete" playing, until you hit the STOP button, or click the close box on the viewing window. Until you hit STOP, you can't interact with the Alice editor window at all. Do you mean that after you hit the "STOP" button, the Alice editor window remains unresponsive?

After the world completes 'playing' and we attempt to play it a second time, the Play button on the editor window is dimmed which prevents us from viewing the animation a second time. We have to reboot the machines in order to continue.

This has only happened on Windows PC's running XP or 7. I tried it on my home machine last night, Windows 7, and had the same problem.

Thanks for your response,
Lance

I tried out your file on a Mac (what I have available). The Play button is always dimmed while the world is playing. Do you mean the Play button on the world player window, or on the main editor window? When I hit stop, I have no problem hitting play again in the main editor window.

Can anyone tell me why the attached Alice world 'dims' the Play button if we try to "Play" it a second time. We have tried it on Alice 2.2 (12-2-2011) and the August release but both releases experience the same problem.

We have tried on machines running XP, Service Pack 3 and on Windows 7 machines and it always 'dims' the  Play button preventing us from running the program a second time.

Thank you in advance,
Lance Allen
