Browser Screen Flashes Between Slides

Mar 07, 2017

Hi all,

When playing a published Storyline 360 project (v3.3.9986.0) in a Chrome web browser, I experience a single brief white-screen flash when I move/navigate between the slides/screens.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks in advance,

Simon

Hi Rhonda,

I'm sorry to hear you're running into this issue as well! Are you using Chrome to test your published output?

If so, we do have a bug for Storyline 360 recorded where:

In HTML5, there is intermittent flickering when changing slides on a screen recording in Try mode using Chrome.

Thank you! I think it may be the way the ‘working’ indicator is designed. When I save this in the classic player, the ‘working’ indicator/clock is a circle that goes around. In modern player it seems to be a screen grey-out (which is quite distracting) to indicate transition and ‘working’
I prefer the behavior of the classic player in this respect, but then you cannot have responsive design and I prefer that the overall eLearning size adjusts with the window size, so keeping in the modern player.

Nope, still not working.  I updated my storyline and still have that terribly distracting grey screen flash between slides changing.  In the old flash versions of a project, there was no grey screen, only a 'working' symbol like the three dots you see on this one... but no silly distracting greyout screen..  I've submitted a case, but you guys really need to get this in an acceptable format.
