More than three smart shape buttons on master slide?

Hi all,

Hope someone can help me,

I would like to place 8 smartshape buttons on my master slide

Every button directs to another slide really simple..

works great, super easy!

but.. when I exceed the number of 3 'smartshape buttons' on the master slide,

when previewing, the whole project is blank until it reaches slide two.

I tried several simple blank projects but the problem keeps happening.

I can put multiple smart shapes on the master slide but as soon as I check more than 3 shapes as being a button

the preview shows a totally white screen, if I uncheck till there are only 3 'buttons' left , the preview is fine. 

Does anyone know a solution for this?

Many Thanks!

Greetings

Martijn

    I asked the team to help you out, but would like that hotfix as well.


    Here's what Adobe sent us and I can confirm it works—our projects (both native to CP10 and converted from CP9) work again:

    1. Download the hotfix zip from the following location: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oqxqhlzecc5j5ap/hotfix2017.zip?dl=0
    1. Unzip the folder.
    2. Backup the following files (and folder) from the Captivate installation directory (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 2017 x64):
      1. CPPublic.dll
      2. CPPublish.dll
      3. CPHTMLPublish.dll
      4. sdk folder
    1. Copy the downloaded contents from the unzipped folder and replace them in the Adobe Captivate 2017 installation folder

        C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 2017 x64.

    1. Reset the preferences by running the “CleanPreferencesWin.bat” file from “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 2017 x64\utils”
    2. Now, launch the Captivate 2017 release and verify the fix.

    Hope it helps others until Adobe officially rolls it out in an update.

    Hi Rod, they are Smart Shape buttons with image fills for each state. I'd be happy to share my .cptx file with you if you would like to see what I mean. Here is a download link: http://olsondesigngroup.com/HUD_loans_static.zip


    If you are previewing by just hitting Control + Enter or similar then that IS using SWF output, even if your intended final publishing will be HTML5.

    So, there may be something fouling up SWF output but not HTML5.
