Whenever I publish my presentation, even though I made sure to only use powerpoint animations supported by Presenter, if i don't click Next in the player, animations don't display properly, Presenter only displays part of them.
It is occuring with different slides that have all kinds of animations, all supported by Articulate. We're not working off of a network nor a USB drive, why? could it have an impact?
What are you trying to animate? I run into issues when I am trying to animate "shapes" or "SmartArt" in a project. Now, I will save those as PNG images, bring them back into the project and then re-animate them. Usually works like a charm. I learned at a workshop given by Tom Kuhlman that "shapes" and "SmartArt" are "vector" graphics and can really mess up the Articulate publishing process.
I think what Brian is trying to get at is the fact that if the Wipe Animation is your LAST animation on a slide, it will not complete the animation. You may see only 2/3rds of the object display. This is a known bug and one that is probably going to be addressed in the next update or version. Either change your last animation to a fade or add in a transparent object and have THAT as your last animation. Oh yeah, make sure its not a WIPE
side note- is there a list of known bugs somewhere? Bugs are just a reality with software so I expect them to exist, but it would be nice to know what they are instead of beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why some things aren't working as planned.

Hi Alex,
Is the issue only occurring with a certain animation type like wipe or fade? Also, are you working off of a network or USB drive?

Thanks!
Hi Alexandra,
Playing back Flash content on a network drive is not supported by Adobe. So, I just wanted to make sure that wasn't the case here.
Would you mind submitting a support case to us so that we can get your files & test the issue?
