Question

Button not appearing in preview or when published!

Having a nightmare - I have a button set in the timeline to appear after 116 seconds, but it doesn't appear. If I play the timeline in the project window, the button appears as it should, but when I preview the module it doesn't appear and if I publish the module it also doesn't appear. Without it, users cannot advance! I have another module that as far as I can tell is set up exactly the same and it works. Help!!!

    Play slide is NOT a preview method, should only be used for editing (like synchronising objects with audio). Playing it will NEVER be close to the real output because a lot is not happening. It is too confusing to have that option under the Preview button, but my protest has never been heard.

    If it doesn't play as expected with Preview HTML in Browser (F11) I suspect the usual Timeline misunderstanding. Can you post a screenshot of the complete timeline, please,. Complete both vertically and horizontally.

    Fluid Boxes project.

    Timeline is NOT complete... it doesn't start at frame 0. I can barely see that you do have an interactive object which should be the Image outside of the fluid box, and it looks like it is pausing the slide because I see the mentioning ' nactive part'.  Anything happening after that pausing point will have to wait until the playhead is released. Have no idea when that will happen. It is the reason that the other Image which is probably also marked as being a button will never appear until the playhead is released. 

     

    One of the stumbling blocks for most users, shouting in the desert that each basic training should focus on the understanding of the Timeline, but trainers mostly ignore me... I already posted a link to the most important blog I wrote about the Timeline, but there are many more...
