Timer
I want to automatically create an element every 2 seconds and shuffle the group it belongs to, but the Timer is only working the first time and it shuffles the elements random number of times. Is there any other way to do this?
What do you mean by creating an element every 2 seconds. You mean showing it? If that's what you want, another way to do this is by using the Delay Before option. So the elements will show with a Delay Before of 2 seconds, 4 seconds and so on.

Update 3.4.34 not uploading properly
I tried it four times...no luck. I pasted the zip file directly in applications and tried it from there and got the same message. Any suggestions?
I'm on a macbook pro OS X.
Try downloading it directly from the web site:
InteractBuilder
It should download a 31MB file.

Size, resolution and PPI
What size (pixels) and PPI my images should be for full background?
iPad 4 for example has retina display:
- 2048-by-1536 resolution at 264 pixels per inch (ppi)
Mostly asking for the PPI, should it be 72 or can it be higher?
"You can change the size of your app in the app properties (the blue cube on the top panel of Design Mode), and selecting iPad 4 should get rid of the error. We usually recommend using the lower resolution of 72 ppi and building for the 1024x768 size if the app will be for the iPad (this is the default size when you open InteractBuilder) because images at 72 ppi look very crisp, and higher resolutions will only make the file size a lot larger, which can always make an app take longer to download."
Keep in mind if you do decide to use the higher resolution setup which you can do following the directions above, when the app is published for non retina iPad's it will still work well because we will proportionally resize all the graphics to fit the non retina screens.
So it's completely up to you what resolution/PPI to use. It's a balance between keeping things as small as possible for the user but also making sure that you are not sacrificing any quality. At the end of the day, the InteractBuilder provides you the options to develop however you prefer. We are all about choices!
Here is a photo showing where you can change the size of the app:
Drag bar suggestion
If you have a mouse wheel, or track pad, or touch pad you can easily scroll using any of these techniques. A wider scroll bar is not something we are going to add.
Navigation Buttons
When I want to activate my Navogation Buttons this situation accurs. After I say "Yes" to "Show App Navogation images and "Disable" both "Page Flip" in the page "Features" section and verify in "Interact" . I see my "Navigation Buitons" but they operate in reverse. The button on the right to "Flip Forward" goes backward and vice versa.
Hi Serge, make sure you didn't set the images for the Next and Back buttons , vice-versa.
New builder moving elements! Windows PC version
Updated to the new builder on 8th October. I am getting various elements in the wrong positions, when I look at the info positioning in the window, the co-ordinates are correct, but it keeps jumping back to the wrong position on the page no matter how many times I change this!
Last working builder was 3.25.
This was fixed in the latest IB3 version. Let us know if you still encounter this problem.
