Wizards: I have an issue that I have just discovered in SL2 that I never experienced in SL1. We just upgraded last week and I'm losing my mind of this, and wanted to see if anyone could help.
I have a series of 4 buttons on a screen; the first one is in a Normal State, the others are Disabled. I have set triggers on each to turn to Normal once the previous button is Visited. I know I have the triggers set right, because when I preview, it works like a champ! When I publish, the states DO NOT change unless I hover over the button. I even deleted the hover state, still doesn't work right.
You mentioned it worked in preview, but not during the published output, can you confirm you're testing it within the intended output as described here?
Did you publish to a local drive? Have you tested that version as it's located on your system or once you've burned it to the CD? Are you able to share a sample here - even just a few slides that are exhibiting the behavior would help us take a look.
Thanks for your help but I figured it out. I originally created the course in SL1, and when I upgraded to SL2, the buttons and associated triggers didn't quite carry over flawlessly in the upgrade. As stated, they appeared to work fine in preview, but not when published. I deleted all the buttons and added them back, and now the course functions as it should.
Thanks for the update and I'm glad you were able to get things fixed and working again. We'd be happy to take a look at the file to see if it was an issue with the upgrade overall or if you're good to go, than nothing to worry about. Hope you had a great weekend!

Hi Pete
do you want to upload your story file.
Hi Pete,

Yes, I'm publishing for CD and viewing it via the .exe file. I've built things this exact way in SL1 hundreds of times and never once had this issue.
