Fade in Fade out not working on Rollover Image for Captivate 6

Hi

I am totally baffled with this issue.  When I use Fade in 0.5 sec and Fade Out 0.5 seconds on a rollover image, it will not work.  I even changed the default on my preferences for rollover images and it still will not work and does not show in my accordian panel in properties.

If I use Captivate 5, I do not have any problem.  Any suggestions?

Thanks

Jeff

    Are you forgetting that a rollover object has two parts?  It has a hit area and the object that appears when you mouse over the hit area. Each part can have different settings in the Properties tab. In a  rollover caption, the object that appears is a text caption.  In a rollover image, the object is an image.

    If you select the rollover object on the timeline, the Properties you see for it in the Properties tab are for the hit area.  So having fade in or fade out set there will not affect the object that appears on mouseover.

    If you select the caption or image on the stage in Edit mode, the properties shown in the Properties tab are for that specific object and can be different from the hit area of the same rollover object. 

    In your case, make sure that your image is set to have fade in or fade out.  Fading on a hit area of a rollover object is not really useful at all.

    Thanks everyone for your help.  I did an update on my Adobe Captivate and it is working better now so maybe it was due to needing somekind of patch or update. 

    I still have a slight problem with setting the preferences to 1 or 2 seconds and then when I bring up a new project and insert an image rollover, it will still only show 0.5 sec in the properties panel so I have to change it manually anyway. Even when I close all projects and reopen.

    I just don't understand how I can reset the preferences for image rollover but it will not show when I bring up the properties panel. 

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    Jeff,

    Just checked and I'm able to see a Fade in, try to increase the Fade in to more than 0.5sec
