I tried to create my first Quiz-Question (Fill-in-the-blank).
What's confusing me, is that in preview, all my text entry boxes and text
fields (even images) are barely visible.
They are transparent, though transparency option is 0% everywhere.

What's wrong?

Too little information provided.

What steps have you taken to troubleshoot this yourself?

What is the "transparency" to which you refer -- to my knowledge there is no
transparency option on Questions slides, so that can't be it(?). Or maybe I've
misunderstood and you are not talking about the Question slide at all? Is that
just a throw away remark to explain what you are working on in general? With
that assumption in mind, I'll address issues other than the Question
Slides themselves, as in ...

What do you mean by "everywhere" when you say the[q]... transparency option
is 0% everywhere.[/q]

What are you previewing when these objects seem to be barely visible? That
is, are you previewing the whole project {F4}, or the next-five-slides {F10},
or just a single slide {F3} or what?

What is a text-field and what does it do - do you mean a text-caption? You
already mentioned text entry boxes (TEBs) as a separate item, so I doubt that
is what you mean, but I'm at a loss to understand what object you are referring
to with the term "text field".

Sorry that I have only questions and no answers just yet. Your problem was a
little vague on specifics. Thanks for more information ... and again, I
apologize for my inability to determine what you are seeing ... probably my
scrambled brain is the problem.
:grin;

It occurs to me that any object may appear to be transparent if it has it's
transition effects set to "Fade Out", and a click-box or button (TEB) "freezes"
the slide during that fade-out transition. Is it possible this could be your
problem? Check the object's properties dialog (tab labeled "Options") to see
if you can change the object transition to "Fade-in Only", or no transition at
all.

Note that images, text captions, etc. have the Transition effect, as does
text-entry-boxes. Click-boxes and buttons have no such transition, but they
may be the cause of the problem of other items appearing transparent due to
their pausing of the slide during the transition period of other objects.
Clear? Hope so. Let me know if more is required.

My issue is a bit different. When I F4 to preview, there is only blank scree
but the audio is playing. However, when I F12, video and audio are all showing.
Any suggestions please?

Much appreciated...

Welcome to our community, Roland

This has been a frequently asked question since Flash Player 10 was deployed.
Things should work fine after you publish (even on Flash 10).

There was a recent thread where one of the Captivate team replied. Can't find
it at the moment. If I do, I'll return and post a link to it for further
explanation.

Cheers... Rick :smile;

Thanks for the reply Rick, I noticed that this "blank screen issue" applies only to full motion recording. Any thoughts?
