stopAudio behavior oddly inconsistent
As of 388 I must remove that stopAudio in order for the playAudio to work. It now nicely ignores subsequent clicks WHILE the audio is playing back. Excellent.
BUT, behavior changes for hidden sentence #2. Once I tap something that hides #1, and shows #2, I must keep the "stopAudio" for tap on sentence #2, with playAudio chained to it. In this case stopAudio does not prevent the playback of the sentence #2, BUT it is now required to prevent multi-tap firing repeated "echo" playbacks.
In short, I can achieve what I want, but it is strange that behavior differs between the 1st - visible - sentence and the 2nd - hidden - sentence. It'd be nice if sentence #2 playback was also smart enough to block repeated playbacks while a playback is in progress.
Can you build on both PC and iMac? Server won't sync.
The same app should be able to open on both PC and Mac. I have a few questions to see if we can find where the problem might be:
Do you have your app opening directly from Dropbox (setting your default app folder to be the Dropbox folder that contains the app folder)?
Is the original (not duplicated) app on Dropbox?
Are you using the same InteractBuilder account on both computers?

Is this occurs on a new frame animation that you've created in the updated version of IB3 or on an old frame animation?
IB 4 | PlayVideo Not Working
When I click on Interact to test it and tap on the play button, it gives me the "The page you are trying to jump to has not been loaded" error. I only have one page, and I am trying to run the Video on screen.

google fonts aren't available in IB4 on Windows
We've recreated this problem in the Windows version and are working on fixing it so that Google fonts can be available in the font menu.
Thank you for your feedback!

Localization best practices?
Recommended # of pages in an App?
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!
