You couldn’t use Rollover objects when exporting to HTML5. Why?
I like roll overs in elearning. I just think they look nice and can provide some clean design with the ability of adding quite a bit of content to a slide.
But Lieve is correct, as she often is, that they do not work on mobile – including iPad. If you are only looking to view on computers they work, as posted.
Did not know that it was greyed out when building a responsive project, as I have not tried to add one because of the poor mobile function. But that is good information to know.
I learn things all the time on this community.
Thanks.
I know that you get a warning about Rollovers when publishing to HTML5. However that is not totally correct. I will try to explain:
- Rollover slidelets can indeed NEVER be used for HTML5 output because they were based on SWF technology.
- Rollover Caption/Image can still be used BUT they will only be functional when using a laptop or a desktop because they have the hover event when using a mouse or a trackpad. Such an event doesn’t exist on mobile devices. For a mobile device you cannot use rollovers at all.
- If you create a Fluid Boxes project (responsive) the option to insert Rollover Caption/Image is greyed out because such a project is normally meant to be accessible from mobile devices. For desktop/laptop viewing I published a blog explaining possible workarounds. Have a look at:

Hope this clarifies?
