Preview mode not working

Feb 10, 2016

Hi, I have Storyline 1 and since recently, when I click Preview, it loads as usual, but then nothing appears. If I close the preview, I am able to work on the slide again. It's happening across multiple *.story files. Help please.

Hi Gautham!

Sorry you're experiencing this, it sounds like you've run into a known issue. A bug has been identified in Adobe Flash Player 20.0.0.267 that breaks features in many applications, including Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, and Articulate Studio. For example, in Storyline:

* You'll see a blank screen when you preview a project.
* The preview area of the player properties window is blank.
* The timeline preview feature doesn't work.
* You can't preview videos, Flash movies, or web objects.
* You can't edit videos.
* You can't import Engage interactions into Storyline courses.

The good news is Adobe and Microsoft have fixed the issue in recent updates. Follow the steps in this article for your version of Windows to fix the problem.
