Audio action bug
If this didn't help exit the Action Manager window, tap the element and try adding the target for the audio behavior from the element window as show in the image:
audio looping even though action set says no looping
I want the animation to loop continuously on tap but not the audio clip. Thanks for looking into this or offering a work around.

In builder, png objects are not selectable anymore clicking on the empty areas of the selection box. Is it the same after publishing?
Hi! It seems that with the last update (3.3) objects can be selected only by clicking on the actual fill of the object, not just by clicking anywhere within the square box that frames them. E.g: if you had a ball before, it became selected also when clicking on the corners outside the ball but inside the selection box; or if you had a text imported así a graphic png object, it was selectable also by clicking in the gap between lines, given that it was inside this selection box. I wanted only to confirm that this doesn't happen anymore also after publishing the app, either.. it would be great, since I have text-graphic objects that are divided into paragraphs with empty spaces in between where other objects underneath should be selectable..
Roi, we need to investigate this issue. I was able to recreate exactly what you are describing, let me check with our developers to see if that was done on purpose. We will be releasing an update this week which will address this issue.

Selecting a Target bug
When you want to one element to fadeOut (for example) another, and you want to select the other element using the arrow ("Target"), it is hard to get rid of this action after you click - it sticks. Every object you click after, will be selected as the target.
We were able to recreate this problem and we are working on a fix.
rotate object multiple times?
Thanks!!!
If you want the element to actually animate as if it is rotating, try using SpinRight with StopSpin chained after it with a "delay before" that gives the image enough time to rotate 90 degrees. If you want the image to appear at 90 degrees right away, you could use four different elements and show a different element each time the visible one is double-tapped.
How to enable sound - Read to Me / Read to Myself from homepage
Hi, I'm wondering how to control the sound on all my story pages from the homepage that will enable voiceover to play on page load if user clicks the "Read to Me" button from the homepage, or NOT play the voiceover if they click the "Read to Myself" button on the homepage. Can you please advise the steps on how to use Set Timer to make this work? If that is how this can be done? I'm not sure how to use Set Timer. (I would like the ambient audio to still be heard if that is possible, just not play the voiceover. )
Also it would be nice to know how to make text highlight when the voiceover says each word if that is possible yet. Thanks much.
You can have the behavior ToggleAudio, one for Read to me button and one for Read to Myself. This way the audio set as naration will stop or play.
Not getting email regarding app sharing?
I uploaded an app to share with myself, so I can test it on my iPad. But I have not received an email as of yet. It's been a few hours already.
