Smart Shape Shadows not publishing

Participant ,

I've added shadows to several of my smart shapes, both inner and outer shadows.

They appear correct in captivate,  but when I view or export they're not showing up

Anyone else having this issue, or know of a way to fix it?

 

Seen this in both captivate 2017 and 2019

It is not possible to have Inner and Outer shadow, you need to choose one of them.  No checkboxes, but Radio buttons.

Here is an example of an outer shadow, Preview HTML in Browser:

It was made using 11.5.1.499,

I'm having the issue with both outer shadows and inner shadows. Neither of them are appearing on the basic shapes made  in Captivate. The shadows show in the editor with no issue. But when I preview and export to html5 they don't show at all.

These are just shapes, they don't have any kind of functality to them at all

I showed you a published smartshape (not a button) created with 11.5.1.499. I edited the settings for the outer shadow, default shadow is very tiny. Which exact version are you using???

 

FYI I have the same result in Edge, Internet Explore and Chrome. Did not test in Firefox nor Safari.

 

Sincce you do not want to tell the exact version number, I suspect you are not on the most recent release, there were issues with shadows in the non-patched releases, but don't remember exactly which one.

it's happening on both captivate 2017 10.1.285 and Captivate 2019 11.5.1.499

They're both up to date, and this issue is fairly recent and wasn't happening a few months ago

Preview in HTML5 will do so with your default web browser.  So, which web browser are you using and which version?  Was that browser version perhaps updated recently?  This could be a new limitation imposed by a change to the browser functionality.

I am also having the same problem. 

 

My smart shape is being used as a button and I put an inner shadow on it and it's fine when I'm editing, but it won't even show up when I preview the project and of course when I publish it out. 

 

Got any more tips?

I know this is a fairly out dated post, but this is exactly what I am experiencing.

I am using 11.5.5.553 and no inner shadow on a shape that is used as a button in my html preview or published html, but looks great in captivate.

Please note that the buttons are in a group in my project (and I won't take them out if that is the issue!) Too much organized in groups to ungroup at this point.
