Zoom regions placed at 0:00 of the timeline don't trigger
Sorry you're running into this problem as well, Carla! I'm curious, did you test the output on your website in a Flash-enabled browser? You can verify that you're actually viewing the Flash output if your see story_flash.html at the end of the URL.
Would you mind if I had a look at your file? I'd like to test the zoom function in Flash, as well as the timing issue you mentioned. Thanks!

Hi Alyssa,
Thanks for your information. I found the zoom function actually worked as it should when I followed your advice and used a link ending with the story_flash.html selection for executing the file. While this is okay as a (very) temporary workaround, it is still extremely time-consuming as a way to test an e-learning: I have to publish, then ftp it to my website, test it and, if I find anything wrong, delete it from my website, correct it, republish and re-ftp it, and delete the old version from my website. Each of these steps takes time. I can't preview a scene to check how things are working, and even if I publish the whole course (which may have many scenes) I can't use the View Project option after publishing.
In addition, as I mentioned earlier, not only is the zoom a problem in previewing, but the timing of when the recorded segments play is also incorrect. For example, if I have some audio introduction, then zoom in and show the mouseclick and subsequent screen change of the recorded segment, I sometimes see the screen change while the audio is introducing what will be seen, then the zoom happens and the mouseclick follows. It may all work fine once its published, but that also means more time is required to make sure everything's working as planned. This is not what I'd call Rapid E-Learning. This is a time-wasting pain.Once again, I hope your company recognizes this "little glitch" as something serious, with a serious impact customers like me who are always being asked to do things faster.
