Rollover Slidelets not working when published

Hi,

I'm using CP5.5 for a course that uses numerous rollover slidelets. Everything works as expected when previewing the slides in Captivate however the rollover slidelets do not work when the course is published and viewed in a browser.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks,
Matt

Correct answer RodWard

Your project file may be experiencing some corruption. Did you insert each of these slidelets using the Insert menu or did you perchance just copy and paste them from the same one? I've seen that practice cause issues sometimes.

Try creating a new blank project and then insert a few test slidelets using the Edit menu. Do they work when this project is published? If so, at least you know your Cp install is fine.

Try hiding slides in your project as per suggestions in this post:

It may be that the corruption is limited to one or more slides and you can resolve it by rebuilding those slides.

Thanks for reply Rod. I'm not sure if the slidelets were copied and pasted as I inherited this project. If copying and pasting a slidelet is enough to corrupt a file - perhaps it should be disabled to avoid this possibility?

Anyway, thanks for the recommendations on how to troubleshoot this issue, I'll give it a go when I get a chance.

It's by no means certain that copy/paste is the issue. My experience is that Slidelets themselves are a bit dodgy. I never use them. They seem to slow down projects too if you add too many of them. Since they are also not compatible with HTML5 it's getting to the point where I don't see any reason to use them at all.
