I have multiple sliders on one slide in the attached story and they work perfectly when previewing in storyline, but now that I have published the project the sliders will only move to the right. What's up with that, any ideas?
Hi, Holly -- Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear of your troubles! Typically, what happens is that when a course is previewed, some of the components do not function as intended because the course needs to be loading into the intended environment as described here. What's unusual is that you are describing the exact opposite... works during preview, but not after upload!
Would it be possible for you to share a bit more about where you are uploading your published output? An LMS or perhaps a website?
I uploaded my content to a website first for testing and then figured that could be the problem, so then I added it to my LMS which is Sumtotal and it still only allows the learner to move the slider to the right and not the left.
Hi, Holly -- Thanks for the additional information, and may I ask if you have yet uploaded the course on the SCORM Cloud, as well? The SCORM Cloud is a really useful tool that helps rule out if the issue is more related to the environment where the course is being loaded, or if the problem lies within the course itself.
I will publish and test your course in the SCORM Cloud momentarily, as well! In the meantime, you may also find this information to be helpful, as well: How to Troubleshoot Your LMS with SCORM Cloud.
In this case, I would recommend that you reach out to your LMS provider directly and ask for their insights, being sure to note that the course does function as intended when tested via the SCORM Cloud.
And I would also like to note that the testing I performed was in Chrome v. 51.0.2704.84 (64-bit) -- most current. Please let us know what you find when testing the link I provided, Holly!
Sure thing, Holly, and please feel free to stop back in with an update if you can so that others who use Sum Total (or for those who encounter this thread in the future) may benefit from your findings, as well!

Holly, after publishing are you uploading your files to a LMS or web server to test?
The reason I ask is because some published content will not work correctly if you're trying to play it back from your PC due to Flash Player security.
I was able to publish your file, upload and test and the sliders worked as expected.

I have not uploaded to the SCORM Cloud, I wasn't aware such existed! That sounds really helpful. Thank you, I'll wait to hear what shows in the cloud?
We also use SumTotal. What browser(s) have you tested in, and are you testing the Flash output or HTML5?
Hi, Holly -- I appreciate your patience while I tested your file, and if you click here to be taken to the published output how it appears after it's been uploaded to the SCORM Cloud, you will see as Brian reported that the sliders function correctly, and can move either left or right.

Thank you SO much. When I tested the course in my LMS I launched it using Chrome v. 51.0.2704.84 (64-bit) as well. I guess I will ask Sumtotal.

I published it locally and it worked in IE, Firefox, and Chrome v 49.0.2623.87
Thank you for testing, Jose! It's definitely a confirmed head scratcher for me.
