Digital Workshop

Has anyone else experienced this?
Using Presenter Pro v5.5, I'm creating websites via Flex. All is well, apart from the known limits to Opus' functions via Flex, but I find one major problem which I can't believe I'm the only one experiencing.
Every page I move to on the site has the most annoying PREVIEW. As each page appears, every single element on the page shows all at once, for a split second and then disappears, before their timed appearance happens, complete with their various transitions. This is irrespective of what transitions are applied or none at all, and I really don't believe it's as a result of what I'm doing, which is pretty basic.
Have a look at www.the-printhouse.com, and go to any pages via screen buttons to see what I'm talking about.
This also happens on other sites I've made, but not standalone exectuable/CD publications.
Any ideas or solutions, anyone? I emailed DW some time ago, but no joy.

Tony,

Can't say I've experienced that for sure.

When I've created a standard (full executable) Opus pub, I have noticed in the Preview mode that in certain cases Chapter 1 Page 1 will flash up before the current page. I am trying to remember the conditions.... I think either the current page had some complex graphics or hidden layers/objects that Opus had to process... or the other possibility was (for me) the current Page was in a separate Chapter that launched it's own window or had a different window/page size.

You could also look at adding an action to "preload resources"... on the pages in question.


As for Flex, web, etc... I don't use or know.

... sounds like a timing-problem. Are there special time consuming events in this publication? Have you tried to hide the elements on preShow?

I have the same problem.
In some browsers (such as Chrome) with 10 flash player appear all invisible elements at once and all buttons are not enable.
Try to change action "preload resources" and hide the elements on preShow, it does not help

I had to scrap an updated version of a large pub recently with the problem Larry mentioned -- Chapter 1 Page 1 flashing on before moving to new pages. I couldn't trace the problem to anything in particular.
I'm assuming it was because the pub was upgraded from Opus v5 to v6, probably not a good idea for such a large pub (600+ pages)...
