Multi-module course (scenes) in single file nightmare

Apr 27, 2015

Hi. My client wants multiple modules presented in a single SCORM package with on-screen buttons as the main navigation, not the sidebar menu.

I have the "main menu" with the buttons as Scene One, and then all the other scenes link from there.

The problem is that the menu slide won't stay on-screen. It flashes for less than a second and then moves to a blank slide (there aren't any blank slides in the scene). I've removed the seekbar. I've lengthened the timeline to over a minute - nothing works.

Any ideas how I can get the opening screen to stay put until a button is clicked?

Thanks!

Karen

I just completed a 4 module course with an opening slide, an intro slide and then a main menu that branches off to each of the 4 modules in the course. It works fine.

Without seeing your file, it almost sounds like the content on your menu slide isn't set to display until the end of the timeline, hence the flash and appearance of a blank slide.

I would start looking there. Check to make sure everything that needs to be on screen for your menu is actually staying on screen. Easy to check if you turn the Seekbar back on and slide it back and forth. If your menu items show up when you drag the Seekbar to the beginning but disappear when you drag it towards the end of the timeline, then they're not set to "show until end".

If that doesn't work - post just the menu part of your course for folks to examine.

Bob, and Leslie - thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it didn't work. I'm uploading a version of the file with the content stripped out of the scenes, but it should be enough to diagnose.

Hi Karen

I created a new project file and imported the whole project in...issue still there. I then created a new project and only imported the first 4 slides and it works. There may be a corrupt slide or a dicky trigger on one of the scenes that is causing the issue.

See attached.

Ok - I will look into that (didn't think about a "dicky trigger" - but hey, one never knows! ) Thanks for the help.

Hi Karen,

I went through your file and found the issue. The menu slide has a trigger to go to 15.1 on the timeline start. Just correct that and you're problem is solved. :)
