I have a slide with many hot spots. Employees are required to click on all of them before being allowed to move to the next slide. The slide had worked perfectly, but now when I click on a few hot spots the slide reverts to a blank slide. You have to click on the next slide in the menu to continue. My triggers seem to be correct, so this is just weird. Help, please.
are you trying to open any slide layer on timeline end this might cause disappearing the objects on base layer please check the layer setting for all the slide layers you have, and remove the setting hide objects on base layer, please check the attachment for reference or you can also attach your .story file. so that i can help you with your file, hope this helps.
No, this is all on one slide. It worked perfectly until I published it and then it started acting weird. What's also interesting it that sometimes I can only click on 2-3 hotspots before the slide goes blank. Other times I might click six or more before it goes blank.
I need to look at the file with the ".story" extension. I cant help to fix it with a published version. It could be something as simple as the order of the triggers, but there is no way for me to tell in this version.
The file is larger than the allowable limit so I can't attach it to this
email. I tried to attach it in the ELearning Hero's site but it won't allow
me to post there either.
I figured it out... the problem isnt the markers... everything is set to disappear when the timeline ends... so it does... I fixed it by highlighting everything except the audio, right clicking on the timeline and choosing "always show"
Here's the fixed file.. let me know if it works for you.
*I had to reload this due to the forklift image being locked. that is fixed now too.

Melanie,
Could you share the slide or the whole .story file?
Would you like a zip file, or just the web address for the presentation so
you can view it?
Melanie
The best would probably be the unpublished .story file. That way i can look "under the hood" so to speak and see whats happening.
Hi Melanie
Check the object durations on the timeline, some may be ending and therefore the objects will disappear
Hi Wendy:
I just checked and the hot spots extend to the end of the timeline.
Hi Terry:
Here you go. The slide that's driving me nuts (and I don't have that far to go) is slide 4.5, the parts of the forklift.
