Vertical Scrolling in prototype

I’ve followed the steps to create a vertical scroll for prototyping but its not working and I keep getting the exclamation point saying that the content needs to be bigger than the frame but when I look at my frame there is content that is beyond the bounds of the frame box but is still technically in the frame, so why won’t the scroll interaction work?

Why is my assets menu not updating anymore when generating new components?

Hi, Love using Figma Starter! Somehow my assets menu (containing the library of components I am generating on my ‘components’ page) is not updating anymore with the latest components I am generating. This becomes a hastle when wanting to use components generated on my ‘components’ page on my ‘design’ page. Test component generated on ‘components’ page No show in asset menu of ‘components’ page Things I have tried but did not resolve my issue: Generated new components at different levels on different pages to see if they would show up in my assets tree → nope (see pics above) Renamed a couple of older components to see if it would update in my assets tree → nope Created copies of main components and checked if the component functionality still works through all pages (updates) → yes it does! Questions: Can you force an update/refresh? I looked for a ‘refresh’ button → sorry, could not find (maybe because I am a newbie?) Did I do something funky with the naming of my other component

Updates only showing in asset library not the page

Please help! I am not sure why my component is not updating in the page but is updated in the asset library. Normally after I change the master component in the library file it will update in all other files that component is in without having to pull a new component from the asset library. When I pull out a new component it is updated and good. But the previous one in the file before the update is not updating. Is there something I am missing? We turned the component into a frame, but that has never seemed to have mattered before. And the component is not detached either so it should work.

Paragraph spacing problem

I’m trying to use the paragraph spacing feature, but I keep encountering errors. I’m a MacBook user and I’m using the Figma app. There have been instances where similar paragraph spacing errors have been reported in other posts. In the comments, I learned that this issue can be temporarily resolved by using the Enter key, but I would appreciate it if you could provide an update to fix the underlying issue with the functionality.

Present mode displays rectangles that are not there

Anyone else have problems using Figmas Present Mode? When presenting and clicking through my prototypes, rectangles appear every now and then - always on different places and pages - they hide smaller parts of my prototype. I refresh the page and the rectangles disappear. I have looked though all layers in my file and there is nothing there that shouldn’t be there. It’s annoying that I have to refresh the present mode page several times clicking through the protoypes. Could this be a bug or slow internet connection?

Ignoring boundig box of tilted buttons in protoryping

Hello Figma Community. What I’m trying to do: I have three tilted banners, created with each their own vector. I want the user to be able to press one of the banners, to direct them further into the page. Essentially, I want the banners to act as buttons. My problem: The bounding box seems to decide the “press” boundry, instead of the vector shape, resulting in the user can press outside of the banner to activiate the navigation. Flatten was suggested somewhere, but that does only reduce boundrybox to a minumim rectangular shape. Screenshots As a new user i can only porvide 1 screenshot per post, so here I’ve combined the four screenshots I prepared into one I’m looking forwards to any answers you might have // Lars! 🫠 I have tried searching terms like boundry box navigation; banner as buttons; ignore empty space in polygons; remove box; and much more with no luck… but maybe it’s just so simple i’m the only one asking?

After delay to open overlay not working

Hi Figma community! I have a slight issue. I’m working on a project that has to have multiple overlays. I have a group that delays then shows an overlay, which automatically closes. That works fine. But when another group shows an overlay after a delay after the other group has finished it doesn’t work. Can someone help? Thank you 😀😊

How to make screen adjust automatically depending on the screen size?

Hello, this is the first time I’m posting here. I just started working on my first prototype. Everything seems fine until I tested and realized that my prototype show differently depending on their phon size. Here is the example. In Figma display (the right picture), the size is what I wanted it to be. However, on my actual phone (left picture), there are too much empty space on top of it. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!

Change Variant of Component B When Click on Component A and Vice Versa

Hi Everyone, I am currently working on a project which involves creating a questionnaire where multiple child questions should change its variant based on the interaction of the parent question. When click on a button on the parent question, the component variant should change its state not only for the parent itself but also for its associated child questions. For this, I’ve created four variants of a question component: a visible parent, a hidden parent, a visible child, and a hidden child. The idea is that when I click ‘hide’ on the parent question, all child question variants should change to their hidden states, and vice versa. However, I am encountering difficulties in achieving this. For some reason, the interactions within the component connecting the variants are not working as expected. I am unable to control the variant change of all child questions. They should not be hidden outright, but rather should just change their state to ‘hidden’. Another issue I am facing is that I

Can it be possible to enhance the case to upper case retaining the same -Text Styles-? Currently, I can't

How do I retain the same Text Style (typography, line-high, letter-spacing) at the same time that I enhance it with an uppercase attribute without creating a Text Style? Currently, brokes the -Text Styles- and forces me to create other -Text Styles- with the uppercase attribute. Can it be a better solution than creating a new text style? (Context: The product I’m designing has many styles, and adding new styles with this new attribute will make it more complex to admin, etc…) Thanks, Fab.

Enable libraries from plugin API

I’m building a plugin for my team’s internal consumption, and one of the features I’m looking to build is to selectively enable libraries for a file based on certain conditions. Right now, the plugin does file setups, like creating template pages, covers, etc. by pulling in data from JIRA. I wonder if there is a way to enable certain feature-specific libraries based on say the JIRA team. Is this possible / on the horizon as part of the plugin API?

I’m trying with components and interactions but can’t find out how to do that… Is there someone who tried it before and could enlighten me ? Thank you in advance Figma Community 😊

Figma iframe added to Sharepoint keeps reloading

I need to embed a Figma prototype into a Sharepoint page, and it keeps reloading once I add it to the page. The only thing I’m adding that makes it different from a regular embed code, is this part at the end %26hide-ui%3D1%26disable-default-keyboard-nav%3D1 to hide Figma’s UI. Could this be causing the issue? Two weeks ago it was working just fine, I made an update in the files permissions but nothing else.

Is it possible to lock anchor points?

I’m attempting to build a component for a staggered progress bar that could have 1-6 different “levels” (the light pink bars). As a designer, I constantly need to show stakeholders variations of the progress bar with different numbers of levels, so ideally the levels’ width is to its surrounding container. However, each level is separated with a diagonal divider (which aligns to the company identity) rather than a straight divider. When I change the number of levels within the progress bar, this diagonal divider changes its angle. Is there a way to avoid this? e.g. locking anchor points? Inserting vectors created in Illustrator?
