Question

Why is current slide showing previous slide in the background?

Can anyone explain why when I publish a captivate project, I am seeing the previous slide in the background of the current slide. I have tried several things and nothing is working. The slide timings are set pretty straightforward as well as the back and next buttons.  I have tried looking through threads and using suggestions. Nothing has helped. I have checked timing and everything looks fine. I have never had this happen with previous versions.

  • Windows 10 / 64 bit
  • Version 11.0.1.266 Captivate
  • non-responsive project with quiz at end
  • Using Theme
  • Not publishing to LMS yet…  just publishing local in .exe and swf.

The exe file is also SWF-based. Hope you are aware of the fact that Flash Player will soon disappear and that lot of browser don't install the plugin anymore or even do not offer it? Do you have the same problem when publishing to HTML5 and uploading to a webserver? I have not used SWF output anymore since over 2 years.

What did you try? You say several things but do not specify what.

Can you show timelines of the tow slides, and screenshots of what you are seeing from the previous slide?

You don't have effects. Where are the pausing points of the buttons. Do you have items which are timed for the rest of the project?

Did you check the master slide used for the slides?

Like all the troubleshooting we normally do when things don’t go right- I checked timing, transitions, pausing of buttons etc.

I don’t think sending snapshots will help because there is no obvious “ah ha”. – It’s something you would need to go through and troubleshoot. So if there’s no “possible problem/possible resolution available for this issue, I guess this is not going to be resolved ☹

I am doing a full project output – audio, video, quizzing, etc. – Publishing to HTML seems to correct this but I had to strip several slides to test because whatever was on them didn’t support HTML5.

What about master slides?

Are you using slide transitions? Is the next slide pausing before the transition has finished?

Just the buttons. The user selects Next to continue
