activating InteractPlayer from email
When I received my email for my first SHARE and clicked on : Download Interactplayer for Windows this “locate link browser” box comes up and I don’t understand what to do next since it won’t let me save the download as a file. I'm sure this is something simple but I have not come across this before and I just don’t get it.
There seems to be a problem with the links in the email and we will get that fixed ASAP, in the meantime you can download the player directly from here:
http://www.interactbuilder.com/software/
Or you can search for InteractPlayer in the app store.
Text Box Last Characters a Different Size
Page Title: Text 30 - The text in the text box is set to 30, but the last few characters are a smaller font size. I can fix this page by putting a carriage return after the last line, then all text will be the same size.

Chaining Behavior Bugs - Can't chain On Tap to an On Load Interaction
Problem:
Can’t Chain an On Tap interaction to an On Load Interaction in Manage Action Sets screen.
Desired behavior:
I want to make an animated element fly into place on page load. Then I
want the element On Tap to go to a new
location and fly off screen and fade out or be hidden so it doesn’t take up
processing resources on end user system. This seems like such a simple thing to do.... if there is an easier way, please advise!
Steps to Reproduce: (Use PC version of IB3)
In Element Manager:
1. Action set applied to an animated .png sequence element:
Interaction > None > Animate on Page Load, Transition > coordinates set.
Result: In Interact Mode, the Element flies into desired place and stops as expected. No problem here. Issue occurs in next step.
2. Another Action Set is a applied to same element:
On Tap > Animate > Transition to a new location on the stage.
Result:
In Interact Mode, the On Tap, the Element jumps back to original
position on the stage and moves to the desired location off screen.
Expectation: Need the element to remember where it was on stage when it is tapped and not jump back to original location. When I view the object transition settings in the Manage Action Sets screen and click on the behavior and select Change, the elements target location is set to “ , “ and won’t let me change the current coordinates for the element.
In Manage Action Sets Screen:
I tried chaining the 2nd On Tap Action Set noted above to the parent
On Load , but then the On TAP interaction changes to
None, resulting in not being able to make the element move from its first
location to the desired new location.
Expectation is the On Tap behavior should be able to be chained to the
parent On Page Load behavior.
Another Bug noticed:
The Transition settings of chained behavior does not appear in the Element Manager when applied from the Manage Action Sets Screen.
I set the Transition coordinates using the Change option in the Manage Action Sets screen and when I view them the Action set within the Element Manager, it shows the transition as not being set, None
is still checked. (Expectation is to see the settings displayed that were set within Manage Action Sets.)
Also, Need to know the best Way to Delete Element from
screen after a transition ends?
When Element moves off screen, I want to delete it from the stage so it doesn’t take up computing resources on end users system. (Not sure if simply setting visibility to none or hiding the element frees up processing power on end users tablet?) I tried chaining a Hide Element to a previous transition behavior and this doesn’t work either.
I then tried chaining the On Tap Fade out behavior and got this
Errror message: (Fade out doesn’t work either).

Hi Charmaine,
The first issue you reported is a bug. Please enter your issues into separate feedback comments so we can better manage each bug and request properly.
I was able to properly hide an element after a transition animation but not if the transition ran on Page Load.
The problem with setting the transition animation type in the Element Manager is also a bug.
Thanks,
Ezra
apps publication platforms
Which are the platforms you are currently sending the apps to publish?
How do users that have sent apps know when they're finally released? do they get a separate notification via email from each platform? (Apple; Google...)
Once published, from where can users manage statistics, etc of their related apps?
Finally, is it possible to view apps published within interactbooks on an android phone? I can find apps published as stand-alone apps, like Bill the Fish; but can't find the InteractPlayer on GooglePlay from my android phone.
Thanks,
Pablo
Regarding the stats of your published app you can see them by visit you profile from InteractBuilder as shown in next image:
Here is the link to InteractPlayer on Google Play:

App not uploading to my interactplayer site
I have been testing out the "interact" mode with it uploading my app to the site. It worked fine yesterday, but not it does not update changes or a new app. I can see the bar at the bottom right uploading files, but when it opens in the player site, Its either the old version, or if I delete it on the site and upload a new version, I only get the screen that I have no apps.
Hiding an image on page load
I have an image on a page that is set to be hidden when a user navigates to the page. The problem is that when you navigate to the page, the image is visible for a second before disappearing.
Is there any way to hide the image "faster" so to speak?? Or be invisible on page load?
Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ilze Britton.
To make an image invisible on page load, select the element so that the information window opens. In the properties, you'll see a field called "Visible at Runtime." You can change this field to "No" so that the element starts out invisible.
Large Book plays VERY SLOW in InteractPlayer
Stop Draw Action needed
Not sure if this is a bug.. I want to create a coloring page. I used On Drag > Drawing > Draw and set the line width and color. This works ok. But I don't see a Stop Draw option available that I could assign to an On Drag End action. Please advise if there is a better way to do this so user can stop using the draw action and select another crayon color. Not sure what the difference is between draw and draw free... The Draw Free option doesn't seem to work either. Might be helpful to have a youtube tutorial on how to create a coloring book page with the Drawing tools. Thank you.
Based on Inna's response this seems not to be a bug.
Kindle Fire
"We wanted to try your app on the Kindle but these links don't go anywhere. It just opens a new tab that says "about:blank." I clicked the Windows link on my laptop and it was the same thing."
I told her to upload the interactplayer from the app store and she says it isn't available in the kindle app store. I don't know anything about kindles...can they access the itunes app store?
Any ideas?
Thanks
