I've just discovered a problem when returning to a slider screen when there is more than one in a programme. When you return to the slider screen and try and adjust it snaps back to zero and is then stuck. I have tried different adjustments of the slide properties (resume saved state, automatically decide and reset without making any difference) I created the example below to show the issue better. They both have different names (I inserted a variable snapshot in one to show this). Any ideas what I need to do to fix this issue?
Both of these work fine for me I can flick backwards and forwards through each of the screens and the sliders stay where they should be, which browser are you testing in?
I can see it is only happening in the flash version, do you have a trigger on any of those sliders on click? It only happens when you click them in the flash version, really odd, would like to see the slide.
I agree, there is something really odd with this project. I couldn't get the sliders to behave either. I created something similar in a new project, and the sliders work fine. It could be something got corrupted in this project. Maybe if you start a new project you can get it to work.
I've looked back at some other programmes I have made and realised there is the same issue. Oddly enough when the slider is used as a lightbox slide (including the broken one ) it works.
It has something to do with your master slide. I changed the layout back to the default master, and everything works fine.
I noticed on your master slide you had a bunch of unused lightbox triggers. I'm wondering if that had something to do with it? I removed those triggers but it didn't fix the problem. You might be able to create a new master without those triggers, and it may work though.
The master I created with the lightbox triggers comes from the original longer file the original sliders are in. Those triggers are for a notes feature I have which uses some Javascript. Of course the javascript is missing from the short example I attached earlier in the thread. It's certainly a puzzle. Thanks for for looking at it.

Hi,
I've tried it in both Chrome and Explorer
Have a look at this screen recording which shows the issue as it looks to me.

Attached source file. I'd appreciate any help you could offer. There are no extra triggers.
I am sorry I cannot see anything wrong here, I think you need to open a support case, it shouldn't do this and is really odd.

I didn't want to use the word corruption because it feels like a copout, but agree.
Hi ,
I think you might be both right. I'm not sure why it has corrupted. Thanks for your help.
