Prototype bug - My prototypes flick between random screens when Interactive components are turned on

Great. The “mouse up” with 2ms delay worked for me as well. Thank you for that.

Hey andrew - Is the fix rolled out to the desktop app or figma mirror? Both say I’m on the latest but I’m still experiencing the slide skipping issue on iPad. Thanks!

Hi there, I am experiencing a similar thing. I have a prototype with a slide-in menu. The menu items link to individual pages within the prototype. If I select one of the menu items I would expect the prototype to keep playing from the set page instead it jumps back to where it started. This results in a total mess as the flow of the story is totally butchered…

Is there anything that can be done? Never had this before.

The problem have been fixed when the component properties introduced

Just make a varient button component with 3 states ( Main, Hover, and active )and give it properties, then make a sidebar and use that component to have items and change its properties and make it another component.

Now to put the component inside the needed frames and give each frame which item should be active.

Now go back to the sidebar and prototype by navigating each item into the right frame

it should work perfectly.

FYI - This doesn’t seem to happen on the desktop app. Only on the browser!

Thanks Sohrab, I’ll give it a try.

:heavy_heart_exclamation: I FOUND A SOLUTION :heavy_heart_exclamation: (at least it worked for me, hopefully it helps you too!)
Go to your chrome settings> system> disable ‘Use hardware acceleration when available’> relaunch> settings> system> enable ‘Use hardware acceleration when available’> relaunch.

SOLUTION:

First of all I tried the above “solution” but that didn’t work. My suggestion is to do the following:

1- Ensure that your prototype variants swap “When the video ends” rather than “After Delay” with a delay set for the duration of the video.
2- Select the “Reset Component State” option
3- Untick Autoplay

Still flickers…but SUPER fast and not noticeable.

And almost an year ahead, this issue is here again after the update with the new UI!
Figma team, please fix this. It makes the prototype unusable… the only way I found so my prototype works so-so is to refresh it like several times without changing anything. When start changing/adding screens/elements/components, the issue comes back again, until I reload the tab and refresh after that several more times… It’s absolutely annoying and frustrating.

Just encountered this bug and i cant use the prototype feature at all. I have a demo due in 2 days and i dont know what to do. @Andrew_Chan please help.

what worked for me was changing my component animation to instant instead of smart animate.
