Publish Failed after adding audio to buttons

Question

Hello all,I am working on a presentation using Captivate Classic. Before anyone says to use the new one, I need the classic version for the 360 slides for this project. I am using version 11.8.3.8, using a windows 11 pro (version 22631.4169) Dell laptop. The issue I am having is that it published fine until I add audio to an advanced action. Here is the action.Conditional Tab:if Var_Fences is equal to 0Action:Show FencesIncrement Var_Fences by 1Play Audio FencesElseHide FencesStop Triggered AudioDecrement Var_Fences by 1 If I don't have the action to play the audio it is fine. But adding the audio causes the error.For the record, I used the built in text to speech option as this is a proptype version of the course for the SME's to evaluate. It is a WAV audio file.ThanksScott

Try using Assign to set the variable to 1 or 0 instead of increment.

Increment and Decrement are only useful actions when you need to know the number of times something happens or does not happen. But if you are relying on the value being either 0 or 1 then Increment or Decrement can get you into trouble if there is any way something else in your navigation or project actions might inadvertently change that value.

The Assign action explicitly sets the value of the variable to one or other possible boolean value. It's far more reliable.
