Jump to slide - Button problem

Hello,
I'm using Captivate 5 on XP.
I have a project with a couple of different chapters. After each chapter I've put a self made question slide, basically just a multiple choice sort of question with 2-4 possible answers. If you click on the correct answer you jump to a slide saying you answered correctly and if you click on the wrong answer you get to a slide saying you answered incorrectly.
After you answer a question correctly you get back to the main menu. The idea is that you complete all the chapters and answer the questions correctly to complete the course.
The problem is with the last chapter and the question in the end. When you try to click on the correct answer nothing happens. When you click on the wrong answers you get to the slide you answered incorrectly. Say you click on the correct answer, you're supposed to jump to slide X, but instead it continues to the next slide.
I have tried to create a new button and also tried to create an advanced action saying "jump to slide X". Same result.
The thing is that it always happen to the last chapter, not necessarily the last one in the list. Say I start from the buttom and work my way up the list of chapters, the problem is always with the last chapter you try to finish.
Any idea of what the problem could be?
Kind regards,
Patrik

I'll see if I can explain it better.
Slide 1 starts and plays text and graphics. It runs for 15 seconds. After 15 seconds, my Back and Next buttons appear. The user can then proceed to Slide 2.
Slide 2 starts and plays text and graphics. It runs for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, my Back and Next buttons appear.
Let's say the user hits the Back button on Slide 2. They are then taken back to Slide 1.
I don't want them to have to watch Slide 1's contents (15 seconds) all over again.
If the user moves again to Slide 2 by hitting the Next button (on Slide 1), I don't want them to have to watch Slide 2 (20 seconds) all over again. They have seen slide 2's information already. I want them to see the Next button right away.
Basically this....if a user has been through a slide before, I don't want them to have to watch it all over again.

    It sounds like my problem was very similar to tlee's.
    All it took was doing a cold reboot, I found the solution here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Hardware/HP-dv4-1225d​x-Quick-Launch-Button-Problems/m-p/272053#M29072
    When tech support couldnt fix it I asked for the number to call and return my laptop. Finding that thread changed my mind.

  • 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.

  • Captivate 4. Jump to slide button not working

    Hello.
    I have a material that has the following sequence:
    Lesson1
    Quiz 1
    Lesson 2
    Quiz 2
    Lesson 3
    Quiz 3
    The problem happens when I click on the button that SHOULD jump to the last Quiz for Lesson 3.
    I have changed the slide settings to 'jump to' but everytime, the button leads to me to Quiz 1.
    Does anyone have an answer for this particular issue?
    I'd appreciate the help. Thanks!

    Welcome to our community
    Try changing and/or examining the Quiz settings. Likely you have configured things so each question must be answered before proceeding. This blocks any ability to skip over questions to different slides.
    You also may be facing a question of Quiz Scope.

  • Captivate 5. Jump to slide button not working

    I'm using Captivate 5.0.2.630 and I have issues with Jump To buttons as well.  My layout is as follows:
    Main Menu (with jump buttons to each section prior to the Quiz Question)
    Section 1 - Demo slides
    Section 1 - Simulation Slides
    Section 2 - Demo Slides
    Section 2 - Simulation Slides
    Section 3 - Demo slides
    Section 3 - Simulation Slides
    Section 4 - Demo Slides
    Section 4 - Simulation Slides
    Quiz Slide
    Quiz Slide
    Certificate
    For whatever reason, the "Jump To" button set to jump to Section 4 from the Main Menu will not work.  All it does it "Continue". And, please don't tell me I need to change the entire module's quiz settings to Optional. We want the actual Quiz Slides to be required. It's just the rest of the module that the user should be able to jump back and forth freely.

  • Button-jump to slides not working

    Hi!
    I have created a content menu for my project. Created several
    buttons on the same slide. Only the first one works - which links
    to the next page. The rest of the buttons don't link to the slides
    though I have set it to "jump to slide - 5 slide 5".
    Please advise. Thanks!!

    Hi Cherry_t and welcome to our community
    I've seen this behavior before. In the case I saw, the user
    had inserted question slides that were placed between where the
    jump was supposed to go and the slide they were on at the time they
    clicked the menu item. You may wonder what this would have to do
    with impeding progress. Well, it's not so much the fact you have
    Question slides, but if my hunch is correct, you also have enabled
    a setting for quizzing that says each question MUST be answered
    before the project can continue.
    So take a look at the following setting: Project > Quiz
    Manager... > Quiz Settings tab and look at the second field
    labeled: Required. My guess is that it may say "Required - the user
    must take the quiz to continue".
    Cheers and happy Friday! Rick

  • Jump to slide option not available for button Adobe 5.5

    Hi,
    I am creating a frequently asked questions page using Adobe Captivate 5.5.  I am using buttons for each question (currently 8 button questions on the slide).  I would like to set the button to jump to another slide with the answer so the user gets the answer by clicking on the button question.  However in properties the jump to slide... option is gray while all other options work. 
    Does anyone know how to allow this option or can anyone offer suggestions for achieving the same results in a different way?
    Thanks,
    Sandra

      oh dear I should have realized !!!!  Thanks!!!!!!! 

  • Jump to Slide won't go backwards

    Folks,
    I've searched this forum and the Adobe site and haven't found the exact answer to my questions...I apoogize if it's somewhere on here and I can't find it.
    The problem is, I am trying to use the 'Jump to Slide' action on a button and am finding that it will not go to any previous slides in the presentation. It's important to note that this is not part of a quiz - I'm simply trying to let user skip back to certain sections. The buttons allow them to move forward correctly but not back.
    Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?
    - netgeist

    Uner the quiz settings, the option to go backwards was the default setting. Also, there were no buttons with reporting options enabled. So
    neither solution worked, unfortunately. I'm using Captivate 4, if that helps ring any bells from others that may have encountered this problem.
    Thank you,
    - netgeist

  • Why does "Jump to Slide" action disable the quiz slides?

    Here is what I have setup:
    I have a Captivate 4 program using AS 2. The program is a total of 23 slides (quizzes and tutorials). The program is broken into 3 lessons with one of the slides set as a menu slide. Each lesson button on the menu jumps to the slide that is the first slide of that lesson. At the end of each lesson I have a completion slide with a menu button that jumps back to the menu slide when it is clicked.
    Here is the problem:
    When I start the program and complete any of the lessons and return the menu, none of the question slides work in the remaining lessons. The question slides show up, but the radio buttons and submit button are no longer active on those slides. Its as if the program thinks the slide is complte, but nothing is selected. I have narrowed the problem down to the “Jump to Slide” action that I use on the Menu button in the lesson completion slides. If I would complete the program in a linear way without jumping back to the menu slide I don’t seem to have any problems. The problem seems to only occur when I jump backwards through the slides.
    Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is this a bug with Captivate or am I missing something?

    Hi there
    The unfortunate fact is that question slides work best if you can place them all in a linear fashion where you move from one to another without ever going backward. We often see posts here where things fail to work when you choose to jump backward and forward in the movie.
    Perhaps one workaround would be to force a specific order of progression. Sprinkle the "menu" slide so it follows each segment. That way you could also easily implement something like check marks or a progress indicator to show completion of the segment.

  • Click Box - Jump to slide error

    Captivate v5.5
    I have put a click box on slide 1 to allow users to my "Skip Intro" (slides 1-4) and jump to slide 5.
    Whilst the click box does jump to slide 5 - the audio on slide 1 continues instead of the audio on 5.
    I have tried using a button (instead of click box) and that works just fine - but problem with using a button is, I want slide 1 to continue to slide 2 etc by itself if the learner does not click "Skip Intro"
    Does anyone have any suggestions what might be causing this.
    NEL

    Brilliant....Works a treat!
    What I dont understand is I have used click boxes many times before to jump to slides and have never had this problem before  - audio from original slide continues to play after jumping to a new slide - so wonder why this has just started. Any ideas (just for my own education).
    At least I now know what to do.
    Many thanks.

  • Jump to slide "X" when failed the quiz.

    Hello,
    I'm testing a quiz I have for a project. When the participant passes the quiz I just set it to "continue" and the close project. Works without any problem.
    The issue is instead with the participant failing the quiz. I've set it to "Jump to slide X" so he/she can do the course from the beginning. When I test this it works fine the first time, when I then do the quiz again and fail and want to jump back to the beginning I get a blank slide. Any ideas on why this happens? I've tested several times and always get a blank slide on the second time around.
    I'm using Captivate 5.
    Kind regards,
    Patrik

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I have the option to retake quiz as well. I would like to give the option to retake the whole e-learning as well.
    I did a work around where I inserted a slide after the quiz result where I have a button which takes me back to slide 1. That works as planned, but it would be great to reduce the number of clicks.
    Kind regards,
    Patrik

  • Jump to slide does not work

    Hi,
    I am working on a captivate project, we have more than two buttons on almost every slide that are triggered to "jump to slide". I tried keeping elearning output as SCORM 1.2 while publishing, to no avail.
    I also tried to link two projects using "open another project" and "Open URL or file" but even that does not solve the issue.
    Please advise.
    Regards,
    dshah

    Hi again.
    I am using a licensed version of Captivate 6.
    I had published the project in HTML5 before testing.
    Since the 'jump to slide' action was not working, I tried replacing it with 'open another project' and then 'open URL or file', none of which  worked as well.
    I also observed that when we insert two buttons/click boxes/hyperlinks, having triggered as 'jump to slide', they work fine but as soon as the number increases the problem begins. Strange but true!

  • Jump to slide "On Exit" not working

    I am currently using Captivate 8.  I created a project with 9 different branching options from a title menu slide.  You click on a button, and it jumps you to a specific slide.  After a few slides about that "topic" I changed the last slide in the topic On Exit to jump back to the title menu so the user can choose the next topic they want.  I previewed the project (the entire project) and for some reason, the project just continues as if the On Exit command isn't there.
    From the title menu screen, I have a variable entered to execute (one variable for each button) after clicking on each button from the title menu which does the following:
    1. disables the button
    2. shows a check mark image over the button as "complete"
    3. Jumps to the slide the button is assigned to go to

    I think I've had a similar problem before but moved on to custom navigation where the user clicks a button/smart shape to return to the menu. Just assigned a button's "On Success" action to "Jump to slide..."
    If you are simply looking for the project to Jump to Slide when the timeline is depleted, I'm not sure of how to deal with it.

    Hello,
    Did you check if there are no objects on that index slide that have a fading transition? You should set the transition for every object to 'No transition'. The transition can be found in the Properties dialog, tab Options.

  • How to jump between slides which are already played?

    I have a html list of 100 links as below:
    link1
    link2
    link3...so on. And i have a captivate project with 100 slides.When i play captivate project and i have watched only 10 slides then all my 10links in html should be enabled the rest 90 links should be disabled. Do anyone has suggestion for it?
    (I have tried using javascript but it  jumps to slide but does not keeps track of range in which it should jump) 
    GetSlideParam();
    function GetSlideParam(){
        if(window.location.href.indexOf('?slide=') != -1) {
            var startIndex = window.location.href.indexOf('?slide=' ) + 7;
            var URL = window.location.href.toString();
            var slideNumber = URL.substring(startIndex);
            if(slideNumber != '' || slideNumber != null){
                setTimeout(function(){NavigateToSlide(slideNumber);}, 200);
    function NavigateToSlide(requestedSlide){
        var cpObj = document.Captivate;
        cpObj.cpEISetValue('cpCmndGotoSlide',requestedSlide - 1);
        cpObj.cpEISetValue('rdcmndResume',1);

    You're really going the hard way around this problem.  If you use the Captivate TOC then you have the option under TOC settings in the Skin Editor to Navigate to Visited Slides Only.  That will mean that your user can only click items on the TOC for slides that have been completed thus far.
