I have a 37 slide presentation or so. Around slide 17 I have a "main menu" where users can click on any of 7 buttons which branch them to a 3-4 slide scene, then returns them to the main menu. In preview this main menu slide works smooth.. Upon publishing however this slide is bogged down, doesn't animate on properly - then after about 20 seconds will function very slowly.
Anyone know what this is? - each of the 7 buttons has a few states, nothing crazy.
Have you tried moving the project into a new .story file to see if that cures it? I'd also be happy to take a look at it if you can attach it here. Otherwise, feel free to send it privately to us here and we'll try to see what's going on...
Thanks again for getting back to me. I have all of your ideas bookmarked, however we are moving so fast that usually the first fix is the one we go with! I will give it a try when the video becomes a key part of the interaction, fortunately for now a 3D image will produce the same effect.
I did try to create a new .story file and had the same results.. They are alpha channel .flvs so they can blend into the background and I had about 8 of them. When I replaced them with images my published package went from about 278 MB to 84 MB. haha. I think that was the major problem.

Okay guys, looked like I had too many videos on my Interactions, once i replaced videos with images I got much better results...
I was just confused because the main menu slide was being bogged down even though it didnt have videos on that particular slide.
:( I like video interactions
