I have developed my modules where I have a parent project that includes branding a global BACK and NEXT buttons. All my demonstrations are slightly smaller Captivate projects (let’s call them demo anim) that I then import as swf animations. Moving on- So the issue is this. I’ve imported the demo anims into the slides of my parent project. Everything works fine if the learner views these animations any number of times from the original slide. At end of the animation they have an option to replay by clicking a button which actually lives in the demo animation not the parent project. Problem arises when the leaner uses the BACK and NEXT buttons to moves around the course. If the come back to a slide that contains a demo animation they have already view, it doesn’t refresh and start at the beginning. The behavior is inconsistent but usually I get a blank screen. any help is appreciated. hi,
