My project has two pertinent slides. One includes buttons that execute Advanced Actions, and the other slide includes a number of objects including text, shapes, and clickboxes. Several Advanced Actions control a lot of logic that refreshes and changes the main slide.
Clicking button A executes an Advanced Action to jump to the main slide, sets some variable values, and shows or hides about a dozen or so objects. But in HTML preview, or when launching from a web server, nothing happens when I click button A.
In regular non-HTML preview, everything works fine.
Is it possible that some complexity in the Advanced Actions are causing a problem?
What should I check in my browser settings - Chrome especially?
Testing in Firefox also did not work.
Any thoughts most appreciated.

Well, I began disecting that Advanced action and found the problem, which as something to do with parsing double-quotes. That line reads:
Assign | v_sf_msg with ""ad" says/ad/"
Note that I entered that value as:
"ad" says /ad/
And the outer quotes were added by Captivate, which makes sense. When I removed my quotes and entered this:
ad says /ad/
Captivate added outer quotes like this:
"ad says /ad/"
That ran perfectly. So, there is a parsing issue and I'll just work around that for now.
Thanks!

That is the reason I often replace literals by user variables with a default value.
