Base layer flickering in HTML5 output

Hi heroes,

I have a few courses with only a few slides. Each slide contains several layers. Each layer contains a video.

When displaying a layer for the first time, I notice a short flickering of the base layer. When displaying again a layer, there is no flickering anymore.

The flickering is of the color of the base layer's background. On the base layer, I only have an audio file for the music to hear on all layers.

The issue occurs in the HTML5 output with both the classic and modern players.

I wanted to start a new conversation rather than continuing the old but useful conversation about Browser Screen Flashes Between Slides. I don't have any issue between slides but only between layers of each slide.

You can see the issue on a published example on Review and the related .story file is attached.

I have submitted a case to our fantastic Articulate engineers (#01507119).

Thanks :-)

  • I'm late to this conversation but came across this issue today ... Lauren's solution worked!  In my case, I had 2 triggers - The first, ... hide layer (this layer) when user clicks -object- ... and the 2nd trigger was to show the next layer.  :)

  • Thanks so much, Sandy! Glad to hear that Lauren's solution did the trick!

    We appreciate you sharing this with the community for future reference! :)

    If any other questions or suggestions come up, please feel free to share with the E-Learning Heroes Community or privately in a support case.

    Happy developing!

    Hello Team, 

    We are working on a project and it had multiple videos in the course. There are some videos that flicker and some that work perfectly.

    Please refer to the attached file for a better understanding. Additionally, I tried adding video in to the slide layer (adding trigger to direct slide layer), but it didn't work.

    Requested support from the team.
