Button Navigating from slide to slide

I have a question about using buttons (rather than a playbar)
to navigate in swf files. I am not very versed in actionscript.
I'd like to create buttons that can be used to move from
slide to slide in swf files. Basically a "Next" and "Back" method.
Click the next button and the user goes to the next slide, the SWF
file "waits" for another button click to advance.
The method should be somewhat "generic" in nature. No calls
to any specific file or slide. Basically a component that can be
used with any swf file.
Is such a method possible?
Thank you,
TPK

Hi Lieve, thanks for your input and thanks Rob clarifying my question.
The the first menu (Link Menu) is my work-around solution and it should work correctly.The problem is with the second menu (Shape Menu) which prevents buttons under the Smart Shape from working when you use the menu to navigate to slide to.
Thanks for your views on hyperlinks and I've also tried to avoid them but have now chosen to use them in my drop-down  menu because of this issue. I had seen the hyperlink widget before and thought that it would be useful for a contextual glossary that is also in this same project. But at the same time I'm trying to avoid using widgets and use JavaScript as my client has a future roadmap to move this project to tablets.
I'm using 7.0.1 and I'm glad you have been able to get it to work. Did you publish you test file and view in a browser or only preview it in Captivate "next 5 slides". I found that previewing worked perfectly as expected, it was only when I viewed it in a browser that the problem became apparent.
If everything is still still working fine with your test file in a browser then could I send you my file or vice versa if that is okay.

  • How to make backwards navigation through slide shows possible?

    Hi, I just made my first Encore DVD slide show and spent hours trying to figure out how to do this without a luck. The DVD is one Main Menu with buttons to different slide shows that are all set to manual advance. The end action of each slide show takes to the first image in the next slide show and that was easy and very obvious to achieve in Encore but I didn't find any way to achieve the same for backwards navigation. Does anybody know how to do that.
    Will appreciate any help

    In case my message wasn't clear, I will try to describe better what I want to achieve.
    Currently the viewer starts from a Main menu with 16 buttons linked to 16 slide shows. Starting from the first or any slide show and pressing the next button after an image is displayed, the viewer can see linearly all images in all slide show from that point to the end without ever going to the main menu.
    However if the viewer at any point start pressing the previous button on the remote control, he/she can only go to the start of the current slide show and the only way to get to a previous slide show is to use the Main menu button and then jump from there.
    Is it possible to make a DVD thata will allow the view to go backwards through different slide shows by pressing the previous button??

  • Inserting Buttons on Question Slides

    Hi all,
    I am on CP5 Mac. In my module, I immediately thrust the learner into a scenario. If they can do it, fine; if not, I want help to be available. My plan was to have image buttons on the slide where they could see a worked example or look at a job aid. I just tried inserting a button on the question slide so I could navigate to another screen to provide the help and now I'm seeing that CP5 won't allow me to add a button (or other standard objects) to a question slide. I've also tried copying and pasting a button from another slide and that doesn't work either.
    How can I insert these additional navigation buttons on a question slide? I have made the quiz optional in Preferences.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Hi Kevin,
    If you can spare the time please submit this as a feature request. We really need to get this kind of quizzing functionality add to the next version of Adobe Captivate using the link I have included below.
    Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form.
    Whilst I am sure that Lilybiri solution using Advanced Actions is probably the best way forward since you need to report to an LMS. I thought I would point out that if you are comfortable working in Adobe Flash Professional & ActionScript along with Adobe Captivate variables, and you don't need to report the button interaction to an LMS, then you could create this button in Flash and insert this as an animation (Insert > Animation). Just bear in mind that with Adobe Captivate 5 you would need to using AS3 since Adobe Captivate 5 does not support AS2.   Before Widgets were part of the Adobe Captivate feature set, this was one of the ways we used to add extra functionality to Captivate projects.
    The use case is not that complicated, so let me write it out.
    There is a quiz with, let's say, three questions. As user enters the module, they are allowed to see a worked example or jump into the quiz immediately to see if they already know enough to pass it. Most won't be able to pass the quiz right away though; that's why a training was created. To provide just-in-time support, there is an additional button on the each quiz question screen labeled "See a Worked Example." This idea of using worked examples as part of our training is strongly supported as a teaching tool by Clark and Mayer in e-Learning and the Science of Instruction (great book BTW). Anyway, this additional button appears on each of the quiz question screens. When clicked, the user jumps out of the quiz into the worked example. After they see the example, ideally, there is a button in the worked example labeled "Return to Quiz." This button jumps back to the quiz, preferably where they left off. Ideally, if the user chose to see the worked example before trying the quiz, the "Return to Quiz" button wouldn't display (i.e., it has to know that it's being accessed as a result of a jump from the quiz before it displays).
    This approach allows the user to jump in and out of quizzes and would work well in a scenario-based training, which is what I am building.
    Best regards,
    Mark

  • How to create buttons for each slide in slideshow

    I currently have a slideshow working with prev and next buttons,
    but would like to add numbered buttons for each slide at bottom of images,
    with a static number for the active slide that has a colored circle around that number.
    I can create static number with colored circle in Photoshop and add that to a layer,
    but it's labor intensive to do that for all numbers.
    Is there a better way to create the highlighted numbers for active slide?
    For numbered buttons that link to non-active slides, I can create numbers in Photoshop and import images into Flash,
    then convert to symbols and assign actions for them,
    But that too is labor intensive to do for all the numbers.
    Is there a better way to create numbered buttons for non-active slides?
    I'd also like to have a hover function on the numbered buttons,
    that changes from plain image of number to number with colored circle like I want to use for active slide.
    How do I assign a hover function to button symbol, that will load another image or symbol?

    Try to think in terms of having reusable symbols.  Think it thru before you try it.
    Use a movieclip symbol instead of a button.  Have a dynamic textfield in that movieclip for the number, and set the textfield to not be selectable.  Have one frame of this movieclip where it displays as the highlighted (selected) one and have the movieclip go there where you are on that slide.
    Use the textfield for the number--assign it dynamically so that you don't have to import an image for it.  Use as many of these movieclips as you need to for all your buttons.
    Have functions that reset all the buttons at once so that when you move to a new slide, the previously selected one goes back to mormal... follow that with setting the newly selected one to be in its "selected" frame.

  • TS3992 I am not able to backup my iphone to Icloud because my wi-fi is greyed out on my phone. The wi-fi button will not slide to the ON position, therefore, Iam unable to backup my phones contents. What can I do?

    I am not able to backup my Iphone to Icloud because my wi-fi is greyed outon my phone.  The wi-fi button will not slide to the ON position, therefore, Iam unable to backup my phones contents. What can I do? I need to save my pics, info....etc, because I have to get another phone.

    Back up to your computer instead.  To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.  Finally, save any photo stream photos to your camera roll (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import your camera roll photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  (You don't need to delete them from your phone afterwards unless you need the space.)
    If you're getting another phone, be sure to delete your iCloud account and turn off iMessage, FaceTime and Game Center before doing so.  (See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661).

  • Captiave 2 - Adding Buttons to Question Slides

    I need to use the Captivate Question Slide "maker" to create
    interactive questions with navigation back to the "Jeopardy-esque"
    main page. When doing so, the question slide maker prevents adding
    buttons/navigation, etc.
    Any work arounds, hints, suggestions?
    Thanks...

    Hi Beta Bob and welcome to our community
    As you have seen, you cannot insert interactive objects
    (Buttons, Click Boxes or Text Entry Boxes) on Question slides.
    The only workaround I can think of is to sort of simulate the
    question slide using these objects on a standard slide.

  • Help - Multiple Buttons on One Slide

    I have a slide with three navigational buttons on it:  Menu, Back, Next.  I have the pause option checked on the Menu button and I have it set to pause at the end of the slide.  These work fine.  Menu jumps to one slide.  Back goes to the previous slide.  Next goes to the next slide.  Not sure if you need this information but wanted to add it anyway.
    Then I have two additional buttons, "Right Answer" and "Wrong Answer".  I did no want to use the Quiz Maker to create some "knowledge checks" so I am creating "interactivity" using buttons and click boxes.  (I am using Quiz Maker for the Final Exam portion of the lesson and did not want the "Review Quiz" piece at then to include the Knowledge Checks.)  When the user clicks the Right Answer button, I want a caption that I have built to show.  If the user clicks the Wrong Answer, I want the user to show another caption and another button (that when clicked, will take the user to the slide containing that information so they can review).  The two captions I mentioned here are hidden until the user clicks.
    This is not working as I envisioned it.  For some reason, only when clicking the Right Answer button does the action do as expected.  When clicking the Wrong Answer, it does not.  Can someone please help me figure out what I have wrong here?

    Hi there
    Likely what you are encountering is something we all have to deal with. The fact that once a Button has been clicked, the pause is released and the playhead continues merrily along until something else pauses it. Perhaps another Button with the pause point staged slightly farther ahead in time.
    Imagine your Captivate movie to be very much like a stream. Imagine you start where the stream begins and you insert a little boat. It floats along until something stops it. Perhaps a stick lying across the stream. That stick is like the pause point on the Button. So let's say you click the Button by pressing it down. Imagine you have pressed the little boat down just as you pressed the button. It slides under the stick and continues until it is stopped again.
    What you need is a way to keep the boat paused at the stick. So you need to perform an action. Not only do you press down on the boat, but you reposition it further upstream again so it can float back to the stick where it waits again to be dealt with.
    So to accomplish this in Captivate, normally you create an Advanced Action that carries out the act of showing the Caption you want to show, then it repositions the playhead backwards a bit. You can also accomplish this by assigning one of the actions on the button click to be to Jump to the previous slide. And perhaps you time that previous slide as short as can be. Maybe .1 seconds or so.
    If you wish to tackle the Advanced Actions avenue, see if the video recording linked below helps.

  • Continue Buttons & Jump to Slide buttons...

    I have a presentation with 123 slides.
    The presentation is a training module that consists of
    submodules.
    I have a menubuilder project that launches the main training
    module.
    The training module is published as one exe file.
    The last slide at the end of each submodule has two text
    buttons:
    Continue, which is set to- On success 'Continue'.
    Main Menu, which is set to- On success 'Jump to slide' 123
    END,
    which is the last slide in the project. Under project
    preferences I
    have set the project end options action to close project.
    The two buttons work fine in preview mode,
    but when published, the continue button works,
    but the main menu button does not do anything.
    Did I overlook something?
    Thanks in advance.
    Update- lesson learned?
    I had originally created the first two Continue and Main Menu
    buttons on slide 36.
    I just copied and pasted the buttons from slide 36 on to the
    slides at the other 5 places I needed the two buttons.
    I guess this does not work, but I am not sure why. After
    remaking the two buttons (in lieu of copy/paste) on the 5
    additional needed locations, the presentation works. Is this common
    behavior?
    **********************************************************

    I think you'll find this is by design.
    Every object inside a Captivate movie has a unique ID.  The slide number and even slide name that you give the slide are just labels assigned to the object. The object's ID is probably some randomly generated number that you never see. So if you've set up a slide action to jump to another slide in the original movie, there's no guarantee such a slide with the same unique ID will exist in the next movie that slide gets copied into.
    So the developers of Captivate seem to have designed it so that copying a slide from one project to another will default back to certain settings that are safe.
    Additionally, you will find that if you copy a caption or some other slide element from one project to another, Captivate will rename the Item Name.  This is once again to prevent conflicts where more than one item in a movie might end up with the same ID and cause instability.
    So, although the way Captivate is designed may mean extra work for you when you copy slides across, it will prevent your movie from becoming corrupted or unstable.

  • Adding a print button on a slide?

    Hi
    I have had a request to add a print icon button on each slide of the programme I am creating. They want it possible for the user to print any of the slides if deemed they wish.
    Is this option available in Captivate 5.5? If so how do I do this?
    Thanks

    Hi again
    I have finally got around to inserting my print button, but I have chosen to have no text but still a white tect box can be seen at the bottom of the icon. (See attached)
    Any ideas how I can get around this?
