I'm working on creating a storyline presentation that will allow the user to click a button and an "X" shows over the top of the button to indicate that the number has been chosen. I used this last year and it worked great (slide 1.5), but when I tried to update it with the color scheme for this year and cleaned up the buttons a little it stopped working. It won't let me preview that slide (1.4), but I can preview all other slides. I also tried publishing an HTML file to see if that worked, but it's the same result.
I downloaded your file to test it out, and I was able to preview slide 1.5 and it seemed to work like you said. Then I moved onto slide 1.4 and, while it took a long time for the preview to load the slide, it eventually did load and it seemed to also work as described for me.
Which part of slide 1.4 isn't working for you, and what version of storyline are you running?
It finally previewed for me - but all slides worked out and I could navigate between them. But took a long time to preview - so I'd look at Wendy's suggestion too!
Well, now that I've closed out of it and reopened it, it seems ok. I did submit an error report when I was getting the error - I got it consistently when I was trying to preview the file. I'll go ahead and publish it to see if it works ok as an HTML file.

I just wasn't waiting long enough...it's working ok, now. Thanks!
Glad to hear it Bailey! Thanks for the update.
I'm getting an error message now when I try to preview it. I've changed it a little to make all of the slides look consistent.
Hi Bailey,
This file is taking a while for me to preview it - but what error message are you receiving?
HI Bailey
this is taking a long time to load into preview. Have you tried creating a new project file and importing the current one in?

How do I import a new file?
Hi Bailey,
You can import files as described here.
I tried importing it and it still took a long time to open.
I removed the button effect "soft edges" from all of the buttons and that seems to have fixed the problem.
Thanks, everyone!
Thanks for the update Bailey and glad you got it working as needed.
