Recommended # of pages in an App?
Can you recommend roughly how many pages a kids app for toddlers should be? I know books should be about 32 pages for young kids, but wonder what is a good rule of thumb for apps that is acceptable to the marketplace for kids under 5. Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi Charmaine,
I haven't been able to find a standard or suggestion for the length of children's book apps, and I think this is in part because of the flexibility of what you can do within just one page of an app. But I would say that if you want to go for the traditional children's book length, you can look at each app page as a spread in a physical book (two pages that face each other).
Other than that, since it is hard to tell how long an app will be without seeing the physical book, it can be great to include a very clear way of navigating the app, like a page menu or table of contents and maybe even some kind of visual to let the user know how far they are through the story.
I hope this helps!

maintaining element's visibility
When I change element's visibility from hide to show on a certain page and them jump to another, I want it to stay that way when I return to this page. I thought that if "refresh on load" is "no" for this page, items maintain their states, but apparently that's not what happens. What am I doing wrong?

Hi! This feature will work once the app is playing on the device, and we're working on making it work accurately in Interact mode as well.
If you only need this for a few elements and you want to be sure it works in Interact mode right away, you can use a global counter whose value gets changed when the element is shown or hidden and then impacts whether or not the element shows up on page load.

Drag > move
It was working before, but not anymore. :(
I've been getting a strange error message when I upload both my books, that says:
STSError: refZipOpen Archive</var/mobileApplications/DB53-Safar Tent Drawing Book/pages/page_6zip?-false: zipper, Can't open file: No such file or directory.

I think the problem was that InteractPlayer had not yet been updated
because it was still going through the review process. Today the update
is available for the iPad version, and Drag-Move is working.

erase and narration turn on/ off button
I know I have asked about these things before but I need to add these interactions to my book app. You previously sent me two sample apps showing how to do these things- "Draw App" and "stop narration". Both of these samples do not work properly. Please advise.
Thank you
Thank you

Hi Cathy, here is a sample app for stopping narration:
337 - Narration Stop.zip
The narration file is on page 2 and it will play when the App Counter Value is 1.
On first page we have a Read to Me On which will make the App Counter Value to 1, and a Read to Me Off which will make the App Counter Value to 0.
Let me know if you need more help regarding this situation.
Regarding the Erase Mode bug we will let you know when this is fixed. Thank you for your feedback.

suggestion: ability to select axis for rotate
I'd love to be able to change the axis point with the rotate behavior, and also maintain the center axis as an option. Imagine how cool it would be to have something swinging from the top (rotate device>rotate). I'm able to do it by placing a small dot outside of the element area, but it often makes the full element sit outside of the viewport and will not work swing at all, or sometimes will crash the player. I'm adding a link to my dropbox to illustrate. Check out the butterfly example, which doesn't work because half of the element sites outside the ipad viewport.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mrl8n77uq38iv9l/08%20Lizzy.mp3
Thanks for all your hardwork! I'm loving all the new features.

IB 3.4 | Drop Behavior Not Working As Expected
In both my apps, I am using the Drop behavior. It is not working as expected after installing version 3.4:
1 - I have an action set with two dependent actions for a graphic. When user taps on the element, it drops and then plays an audio. The drop works, but the audio no longer plays.
2 - Two graphic elements (no frames), on page load they animate i.e. move from right corner to left. Tapping on first element, results in:
a) stopping animation for second element
b) second element drops wherever it is currently on the screen.
After 3.4, it does drop but always goes back to the starting point of transition, instead of dropping at the current spot.
Thanks.

I see my app was updated on Google Play yesterday, I just downloaded it to try, but unfortunately it fails to load, right after the Loading Page. I get an error from IB. I have sent the error report to support and Ezra, please look into it asap, since anyone who updates the app will start getting this error. Thanks.

Adeel,
We tested just now on a Nexus 5 that had a previous version of Urdu, and it worked without a glitch. Maybe try uninstalling the app from your Droid, that shouldn't be necessary but that is the only idea we have. We are going to try it on a couple of other devices to see if there is still an issue.

IB4 Matching Activity Tutorial
In another post it was mentioned that you were working on an IB4 document/tutorial that will describe how to setup a Match activity. Is this document/tutorial ready yet? If not, when do you anticipate that it will be released?
Answer

Hi Adrienne,
We're working through a bug with the matching activity, so we're going to update the documentation as soon as that's running smoothly. The main difference is that conditions are used instead of the Matched and NotMatched interactions. The conditions specify that something should happen only if a match occurred or if a match did not occur.

Google Font install tutorial?
Could you please add a tutorial on your user guide on how to install Google Fonts into IB4? I went to google.com/fonts but it appears they just provide html code to embed on your webpage as opposed to downloading and installing the font on one's computer. Do we have to paste the html code on your player page or something?
Thanks much!
Thanks much!
