See my response above, hopefully it clarifies your question.

It is probably not obvious but you can actually scroll the list of Interactions.  So if you scroll  down you will see we have separate interactions for:

Swipe Left

Swipe Right

Swipe Down

Swipe Up

You will also see several other interactions listed.  Sorry for the delayed response on this.  Let us know if you have any other questions.

This issue is being fixed for the next update.

Make sure the Page doesn't have checked Refresh on Load

Were these frame animations?  I wasn't able to recreate this issue although I found another problem when duplicating frame animations.

If you name your layer "background" it will set it as the page background.
