Images turning all RED after publishing....what happened?

We've seen that here, as well, but it seemed to be confined to Captivate versions 5.5 and 6.  Since we moved to v7 that problem has stopped.

We never did figure it out, either.  We both use 16GB machines so it probably wasn't a lack of memory - but who knows?

Hi there

I'm not sure if this still holds true or not but years ago there would be Captivate projects that would experience what I called "the red screen of death". Basically what would happen back then is that Captivate would allocate computer memory and not release it when a project completed playing, Eventually the user would begin to see red squares followed shortly thereafter by the whole screen turning red. This happened when all available computer memory had been consumed.

One thought I had was to check your images. Are you inserting them, then having to scale them down substantially to "fit" the project? If so, note that this means substantially large images. For example, you may insert an image that would be perhaps several megs in size. But if you took the same image and scaled it before inserting into Captivate, it might be substantially smaller.

My own recommendation would be to pre-scale the image to the size you need before even inserting. This should cause your project to consume much less space (and need much less working memory when played).
