All Captivate 8.0.1 responsive interactions broken

I'm delighted to see that Drag-and-drop is now available for responsive projects in the Captivate 8.0.1 update, but now all the other interactions are broken! When I publish a responsive project, all my slides with HTML5 interactions on them look like a blank screen.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Aha! I figured it out. I had to test my published project on a web server with a URL, not from my computer.

The problem was that in Captivate 8.0, after publishing my project, if I tested it by launching the HTML file from my computer, it would open in Chrome and show me all the content, including the interactions.

With 8.0.1, after publishing my project, if I test it by launching the HTML file from my computer, it will not show me any of the interactions. However, if I launch the published project from a web server, I can see all the interactions and it plays flawlessly.

What are you viewing them in? Firefox will show a blank page for some stuff e.g. smart shape buttons

Report the issue to Adobe via the Bug/Enhancement form.

It could be that in order for all your other interactions to work properly now they also need to be updated to newer versions.
