Greetings - I recently imported audio to a Storyline piece I am creating, and for some reason there is a blue background on each of the "speaker" icons in slide view. It doesn't seem to be affecting anything, although I have had some issue with Storyline acting strangely when I attempt to add cuepoints to the timeline.
Anyway - just a curiosity question to see if anyone has an answer - or has run into this before.
I added an audio file in both Storyline 1 and 2 and it showed up with a transparent background. This icon will not show in your preview or published output, it is just there for deference while creating the course.
Hi Emily - thanks for getting back to me! Yes, I realize that the icon does not show in the preview or published output. And, my experience on previous modules was that they always had the transparent background - which I why I thought it strange that these imported to my file as a blue background. It doesn't seem to be a problem - but was more of a curiosity since I had never seen it before. It almost appears to me that the icon is selected - but that isn't the case.
Anyway - no big deal - just curious if anyone else had run into it - and whether it meant something.
Also - i do work locally, as I have run into issues in the past when I didn't (although that was mostly with Articulate Presenter files).
I have not seen it either with a blue background. Maybe someone else in the community can chime in if they have seen it! You could try importing this into a new file to see if it stays the same.
Also, if you wanted to have us look at the file, you can attach the file here.

Hello Brent!

If you are seeing strange behavior in Storyline, please make sure that you are working locally as described here. Also you can check out the steps listed here.
