Hi Chris and welcome to Heroes!
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty you're having with your file. First you'll want to check the following which could have caused file corruption:
- Work on your local drive (your C: drive).Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, includingfile corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior.
- You should also make sure the directory pathto your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters(for example C:\Articulate).
- Avoid using special characters, accents orsymbols in your file names.
I'd also try opening a new Storyline project and import this older one into the blank project.
For anyone coming here with this problem, I was dealing with this exact error this morning with a project I was just working on last night. I tried Ashley's suggestion of importing the slides into a blank project, and that solved my problem. Phew!! That would've been hours of work lost.
