Classic Captivate: rollovers Unsupported Objects.

I have added some smart shape rollovers to a slide. When published to HTML5 in Browser a warning appears "Some slides or objects in this project are not supported in HTML5 format.

Using Window > HTML5 Tracker, the rollovers are listed. However, the project and the rollovers run as intended with no errors.

Not able to test on an LMS

 

Any ideas why this error should appear when using rollovers?

 

Classic Captivate 2019, Mini Mac Pro, Mac OS: Sonoma 14.4.1. Safari & FireFox browsers

    Thanks RodWard

    It is a non-responsive project so all is good. Shame the software isn't clever enough to work that out.

    Even a non-responsive project can be viewed on a tablet or a phone. Why not use the Rollover state to replace rollover objects? It needs to be a button, but doesn't need to trigger any action. You are much more flexible to add multiple objects to the rollover state in a non-responsive project.

    The HTML5 Tracker is not flagging those objects because of HTML5 per se, but simply because rollovers need a mouse cursor hovering over them, which means they cannot be activated on a touch screen device such as a cellphone or tablet.

     

    If your target audience will all be using mouse-driven computers to consume the content, then using rollover objects is not a problem and you can safely ignore the warning.
