I have a simulation I have been working on for some time. Up until now it has worked fine. I'm not sure when things went sideways, but at some point this morning, the simulation will progress even when I am not clicking the designated hotspots. I'm not using any sort of scoring and I have stripped out all but the most basic triggers in the first 9 slides.
So for the first 9 slides I have two triggers.
1. The first is a trigger that proceeds to the next slide when the learner clicks a hotspot.
2. A trigger to show the help layer when the learned clicks a trigger object.
There is also a trigger on the help layer to hide the layer when the learner clicks a trigger object.
I'd check to see if the slide is set to auto advance after completion. You can look in the slide sorter view, select the slide, and then select the properties on the right side.
Thanks, I was not clear in that the slides still advance on any mouseclick, not the hotspot clicks as they should. The crash just resolved my inability to preview the sim.
If you want to share the file we can look at it here, but if it's set up properly and not working as expected, you can submit a support ticket and someone can look at it.

Thanks Tom, I had not thought to check there, but they are all set to Slide Advances by User.
I started working on it again this morning and now I cannot even preview the sim.
EDIT: Storyline crashed. Upon recovery I can preview.
Sorry about the crash. Glad that it resolved itself.
