Clicking a button returns a user to the last slide he/she visitied

Is there a way in Captivate to create a button that will
return a user to the last slide he/she visited instead of going
back to a previous slide?

I guess not, if you are saying that the "Previous Slide"
won't work. Just so I don't get too lost, are you saying that the
previous slide is
not what the user viewed last? As in, they got to this slide
through a "jump" from another.
I wonder if Java-script's "history" command could help. I
don't think so, because it doesn't involve a HTML document history,
and to my knowledge, there is no Flash action-script equivalent for
that Java-script call ... (???)
Captiv8tor usually follows along behind me looking to add his
version of help to my posts, so maybe he can give us more
information on the use of Java-script or Action-script to
accomplish what you need. Good luck! Larry

Submit button not taking user to the next slide...

Hi there,
Hopefully this is a simple one!...
The submit button in my quiz does not take the user to the next slide, it just seems to lock and you have to click on the forward button at the bottom of the screen. Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it? I cant use a submit all button as that seems to take away the Action section from the master slide.
Thanks

Hi there,
Swift reply as usual!
I actually solved this one.. I just had to add "go to next slide" in the advanced action!
I did have to copy and paste all my work into a new project though.. must have had my second bug of the week!
Thanks anyway

HT1430 My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck. Pressing down on the sleep/wake button does not give me the red slider to turn the ipad off. Is there any other way I can reset?

My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck. Pressing the wake/sleep button does not bring up the red slider to turn the ipad off. Is there any other way I can reset the ipad? Can I remove the battery? and then put it back in?

No the battery is non removable.
Try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

How to check if the approver returned from AME is the last apporver

Hi,
I have setup multiple Approval Groups which uses a query to derive the approver list. Each Self Service HRMS transaction is attached to a different approver group.
My requirement is to write a function in Workflow to check if the approver returned from AME is the last approver of the group.
Please let me know how I can achieve this.
Thanks,
Rachana

there is some seeded attribute like is_last_approver. Check the value if this returns tru then it is last approver

Slideshow: How can I stop on the last slide?

How can I get my slideshow to stop on the last slide? I set the slide to stop as the end action, but it goes to a black screen.
Anyone know how I can do this?

Slideshows slides are timed by default.
If you want the last slide to freeze, set it to Manual Advance in Slide properties. Then it will hold the last slide until the user hits the Next/Previous buttons (if they figure that out on their own, that is...you might want to post an instruction of some kind on the slide).

When I try to use siri to book an appointment the last step when she says "do you want me to shedule that for you" I say yes and then she says "Sorry I can't do that, very frustrating. Do I have to turn on another setting or something?

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Pausing the last slide

I am trying to figure out a way to pause the last slide of the project without inserting a button. When the slide ends it fades to white and the last slide dissapears. Is it possible to eliminate the fading to white and keeping the last slide visible?

Hi Lilybiri
Unfortunately, if Captivate 4 is being used I don't believe that change alone will fix it.
I'm unsure as to the technical reason behind it, but this version changes the playing field such that even though you clear the Fade out at the end, all objects simply disappear and leave the background color showing.
Hmmm, I just tried it with both AS2 and AS3. It seems that if AS2 (the default) is enabled, this is the behavior. But if you switch to AS3, things remain visible. Strange!
Cheers... Rick

Why does my Keynote Presentation begin at the last slide when I'm in "Record Slideshow" mode?

I am working with Keynote 6.2.2. I created my presentation. I want to record the slideshow with a narration. I know how to do it. However, when I choose "Record Slideshow," the presentation automatically jumps to the last slide and will not let me change that.
Has anyone experienced this? And, how did you fix it?
Thanks.

I just answered my own question. I can reset the slideshow to the first slide by clicking on Clear Recording - even if there is no recording (I simply rehearsed it).

How to keep the last slide image in the background during loading transition??

Does anyone have any good strategies for using the last slide as a static background image when one swf file transitions to another during the loading process? Basically, I'd like to keep the loading image ontop of the last slide during the transition.

Does this fairly recent post help?

Grey Screen in iPad Content Viewer when swipe through the last slides of the articles

Some of co-workers and clients reported and issue with the presentations and the viewer: some times grey screens appear when swiping in an presentation from article to article (reproducible only for the last slide of the article).
Pre-conditions:
1. Folio with several articles (3-4 is good).
2. Articles should have different number of slides.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open folio on iPad and go to the last slide of each article.
2. Swipe from article to article (better from the first one article to the last one)..
Expected outcome: Last slide of the next article is displayed.
Actual outcome: Grey screen is displayed instead of the last article. Some times it's needed to swipe fast to reproduce the issue. Or at least on the last slide you'll see grey screen instead of the content.
Content will be displayed if you scroll up the page. Seems that new (additional) page is added after the last slide of an article and disappeared after scrolling the page.
Notes: Reproducible with the latest version of adobe viewer (i'm using v31(3.4.3.0.96281). NOT reproducible in iPad Content Viewer with version 3.2.1.3.85505.
Maybe somebody knows the root cause of this issue and how to fix it?

I can confirm that I've seen this happen but beyond that, I can't help.

How to make the last slide stay on the screen ?

Hi,I need to make the last slide of my animation to remain on the screen when the animation ends and also when I export in a quick time movie .
Does anyone can help me?

A possible workaround would be to have something appear (like a shape) as a build outside the slide's viewing boundary (if you extend the size of the window, you'll see you have some workspace outside the slide) autmatically after the animation is finished, and set a delay time or build duration based on how long you need the slide to remain on the screen. How this works will depend on your setup for quicktime export.

Setting the last slide to stay on screen

Hello, I am making a slide show for work and am not able to find a way to keep the last slide in the iPhoto slideshow on screen at the conclusion of the show (want to stay in presentation mode instead of going to the editing screen).
Thanks!

Yes, I think so.
Set each slide's duration time manually to what you want in the Settings/This Slide pane:
The last slide can be set to a maximum of 999 seconds.
If you choose music it will continue to play, repeating if the track isn't longer than 999 seconds, until the 999 seconds run out. For longer than 999 seconds duplicate the last slide, add it at the end and set it to 999 seconds also.

Keeping the last slide on the screen when show is over

I am hoping this is an easy solution. I am creating a slideshow which I am exporting to quicktime and what I am trying to do is keep the information from the last slide to stay on the screen without disappearing.
Do anyone know how to do this?

You can also set the poster image for the QT movie to be of the last slide so when the movie is not playing and not in pause it will default to the poster image. Set poster image for KN in QT inspector and for QT in QT Pro.
If what Brief ly said is correct, no worries, if not set last slide to longest duration possible, duplicate the slide a few times and make a huge QT file of 30min of same image. Try using an efficient codec that realises the images isn't changing. No recommendations, you have to test for your particular image.

How do i start a motion tween by clicking a button and stop it at the end of the tween.

Hi guys,
I am creating a website for a project and i am trying to activate a box bropping down from another box when i click on the enter here button i have created. I have set the motion tween and its working when i preview i just unsure of the correct actionscript to start this tween when i have clicked the entere here button or how to stop it at the end of the tween.
I am scared i may have made the layers in the wrong place, they are all currently in scene 1. does my second box that is dropping down need to be set inside the layers of the first box?
Bit of a newbie at this.
Thanks in advance!

Create the dropping box movieclip as an animation by itself with a stop() coomand in the first frame and a stop() command in the last frame. The click of the button should tell the movieclip to play(); at which point the animation should play and stop at the end.
Another option would be to use an actionscript Tween to make the box drop. Going that route the animation is what you code it to be and there is no need to have to stop it as it will end where you tell the Tween to end at.

My Firefox interface is messed up. When I hover over or click a button it becomes all pixlated, the blocks move around, and lines appear around the buttons.

When I hover over or click a button on the tool bar it becomes messed up. Blocks, or more like pixels, appear over the buttons. They are white and they move around. Little black lines appear around the buttons too. I tried uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox, a full reset, etc. Nothing has worked so far.
