Adobe Captivate 9 trial ****Annoying Timing Issue****

Hello, I am in the process of creating an Adobe Captivate project using version 9 trial. When trying to make an object appear after a number of seconds on the slide I am constantly running into an issue. It works fine during the play preview. However when I view it in project preview the objects I have specified to appear later in the slide never do. I have went over the slide in the timeline and have made the proper adjustments for each object under the timing properties. Any tips, links, answers are appreciated.

Correct answer Lilybiri

There is a sound clip and the those are back and continue buttons.


You have to extend the duration of both buttons to the rest of the slide. This can be done in the Timing panel: you see there a field next to Display For: that is probably set at 'Specific Time', change it to 'Rest of Slide'. In that same Timing panel set the time next to 'Pause after' to 31.5 secs, which is after the start of the timelines of the last two objects.

Play slide, if that is what you mean, is not a preview at all. Did you test with another preview (like Preview in Browser)?

Probably you have a pausing point in the slide, could you post a screenshot of the Timeline, please?

Thanks for the reply. I did play it in the browser. The objects appear fine when I play them in Captivate but they disappear when I play them in the browser..

Please, post a screenshot of the timeline. Use the still camera button in the Browser version of this forum to insert that screenshot:

Play Slide is not a preview method. If the objects do not appear when you use Preview in Browser, you have a pausing point from an interactive object (button, click box or Text Entry Box) on that slide. Why did you post this question in the Advanced forum? Shouldn't it be in the Get Started forum?
