Proceeding to the next slide

Hello All!
I'm developing a training module, where I want a user to be
able to proceed to the next slide only after s/he completed a set
of operations on the current slide. For example, I have 4 rollover
images that a user needs to see. Can I somehow disable the slide to
jump to the next slide based on timing and say that a user can jump
only if s/he viewed all the pictures? If that's not possible, is it
possible to have a picture-button (not a text one!!!!!!) that will
look like an arrow, so that when a user clicks on it the tutorial
will continue, but not before that? Right now what's happening is
that when the slide time is over, the slide changes no matter what
happened on the slide itself.
Thank you all for your help!
Mariana

Hi Mariana
You are correct in thinking you should use something to pause
a slide. Can you use a picture arrow? Absolutely! You would either
insert as an image, then superimpose a Click Box object over the
image, or you could use an image button. (When you insert a Button
object, choose the Image button type and select the image you wish
to use.)
You would probably also wish to time the slide so the user
has ample time to do things before the button appears.

How do I stop the Cp from advancing automatically to the next slide?

I'm using Windows NT and Adobe Captivate 4.
Until now, I've been creating demos in Cp4 where the movie file just continues to the next slide automatically. Now I'm making the Cp files more interactive and would like to know how to make the movie not advance to the next screen automatically. In other words, I'd like the user to have to click the Next button to move to the next slide.
Thank you.

Hi there
You do this by inserting a Click Box or a Button object on each slide. Either of these objects will typically pause the slide until clicking the object or another action makes it proceed.

Is there a way that I can see more than just the next slide in Presentation mode (as an old version of PowerPoint used to do)?

Is there a way that I can see more than just the next slide in Presentation mode (as an old version of PowerPoint used to do)?

Sorry - should have been more specific. As far as I can see, Keynote will only allow me to see the current slide and the next slide on my laptop when I am presenting a slideshow through a projector. But an old version of PowerPoint allowed me to show the current slide....and (adjustable) many more slides ahead (say 10)....so I could simply jump ahead to a 'future' slide and skip several slides in between. Net result being that I was able to matcgh my slides to group discussions rather than stick to a fixed, predetermined slide show.
As much as it pains me, without this facility - PowerPoint (old verson, not current one) is more useful for me! :-((

Wait for a message to proceed to the next activity in BPM Process??

Hi,
1. After a BPM process is initiated, is it possible to have a "Wait step" in the process ?...That is, I would like to continue to the next activity in the BPM process ONLY after I have received a certain message...
We do have a "Wait" step in ccBPM(PI) wherein , we could wait until a certain message is received(based on correlation) and then proceed to the next step....
Is this possible in BPM ???
There was a query similar to this in the forum :
Inter-Process Asynchronous Event
(or search for "Inter-Process Asynchronous Event " - Ingo Taraske)
and a suggestion was provided by David Conil which I didn't quite get...
Would be great if some one could throw more light on if this is possible in EhP1...Thanks.
Best Regards
Arun

Hi Arun,
In a nutshell, wait steps are not supported in EhP1. The workaround consists of splitting the process in two processes. In BPMN 1.1, wait steps are modeled using "Intermediate Message Events". The idea is to consider the intermediate message event as start event of the second process. The asynchronous aspect would be covered using PI.
Best regards,
David

How do I get the student's answers to show on the next slide for drag and drop interaction?

I'm working with Captivate 7 on a computer running Windows 8.
I created a simple, one-to-one drag and drop activity using the Drag and Drop Wizard.
I want the student's answers to show on the next slide. Specifically, I want the drop source to show with the drag target that the student connected to the drag source. This way the student can review his/her answers while the program discusses the correct answers.
Is there anyway to do this?

* You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).
* If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.

On slide No. 13 of my Keynote presentation, I have varous pictures that go through automatically just as I programmed them, but if I I want to get by clicking to the next slide , it does not let me. How can I program so when I want goes to next slide?

Keynote is programmed to execute all of the effects in a build sequence before it will move to the next slide.
If you want tobe able to move to the next slide at any time in a sequence of builds, you will need to set all of the builds on that slide to: "on click". You will then need to execute each build by pressing the space bar or click the left mouse button for each object.

Power point project won't move to the next slide

I create a project with several power point slides and then some automation and then slides again. The automation created within captivate moves from slide to slide. But the power point slides don't move to the next slide automatiacally. I have to click on next to make them move. I looked in the manual and can't find a source to tell me what to do with the slides to make them move automatically (like a slide show would be). Any suggestions?

Hi there
When you import a PPT, you have two options. One option allows the PPT to just play through. The other option inserts a Click Box object on slides that prevents the slide from moving forward until clicked by the user. The choice is made in the dialog.
The default is On mouse click. After your slides arrive, the timeline looks like this:
To allow the slide to move forward, delete the Click Box.

How do i automatically start the next slide after the video on the prevues slide is finished

I have slide 1 with a video loop witch tranistion to the next on a click. the next slide (slide2) automaticlly starts plays. I want to know how to start Slide 3 automaticlly after the video on slide 2 is done playing. Slide 3 is also on a loop. and start slide 4 on a click. then repeats......

I once had the same problem, but it was worse because the length of the video was more than the maximum delay that could be set (Keynote'08, I do not know if this changed in '09). I was helped by someone of this community. She suggested adding invisible text fields, each having a delay, sequenced one after the other. Together they added up to a sufficient delay to play my video and go to the next slide after that. I hope this information will be of use, if need arises.

Can I create a Flash button and use it to navigate to the next slide of a PowerPoint Presentation?

Hello all,
I've been having a bit of a hard time understanding how to get a button which I have created in Flash to navigate to the next slide of the PowerPoint presentation which it has been added into. I'm fairly new to Flash, so I believe that this is slightly out of my natural skill range, so hopefully someone will be able to help.
I understand that I somehow need to make use of fscommand in ActionScript, but I'm not sure how I can get Flash and PowerPoint to communicate between themselves. If anyone could write a walkthrough on how to do this, I would be bery grateful.
I'm using Flash MX 2004 7.0 and Powerpoint 2003.
Thanks

Hi. Why not to make the whole presentation in FLASH? What you have to do is to import all the slides inside FLASH. Then place one by one in the stills and then create the code to make the stills advance and show the slides by means of the button. The code for the button goes as follows:
on (release) {
nextFrame();
to introduce this code make sure you press the button and no the frame.
Then in order to make the presentation open and cover the screen, no matter how big it is, you need to enter the following code in the first frame:
stop();
fscommand ("showmenu",false);
fscommand ("fullscreen", true);
You will need also a button to quit the aplication. This is the code:
on (release) {
stop();
fscommand ("quit");
Now write all of this in your application and let me know your experience. MamenFLASH$

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

Mouse FLIES out of no where on the next slide!!!!

So if one of my slides has a little video camera next to it.
on the next slide the Mouse flies out of the top right of the screen!!!

To FIX this.
Show mouse (an additional mouse) on the previous (video) slide.
Move this mouse to the appropriate area it should be for the next slide.
HIDE this mouse on this previous (video) slide..
--Makes no sense to me.. my wonder colleague discovered this trick!!!!

I do not want the learner to be able to click through the project until they hear the audio recorded on each slide, however I also would like them to have click to advance to the next slide. Is there a way to set up these 2 functions together?

I do not want the learner to be able to click through the project until they hear the audio recorded on each slide, however I also would like them to have click to advance to the next slide. Is there a way to set up these 2 functions together?

I don't like that approach for adult learners, cannot refrain from mentioning that.
Don't use a playbar but create custom navigation. You'll need a next button on each slide that appears after the audio (in timeline). Since slides will not all have the same duration you'll need an individual button per slide, a shape button on master slide or timed for the rest of the project will not be possible.

How to go to the next slide on click during a slide with video playing? (for export QT)

Hi,
I have a keynote presentation that i want to export in QT at the end.
I have a slide 1 with just a video in full screen.
I wish i could go to the slide 2 at any time of slide 1 video.
It work in keynote when i launch the slideshow but not in QT export !!!
In qt export, the video of slide 1 play from the start to the end and i can't click to go to next slide !!!
Is it possible ?
Thank.
Toto.

i can't click to go to next slide
Using Keynote version 6.3, there is no setting in QT export to manually advance.
The only choice is self - playing.

Animation audio keeps playing when the next slide appears

I am inserting several SWF files (short demos created in
Captivate, each with with audio and controls) into a Captivate
project as animation objects, each on it's own frame. The problem
is that when I move to the next frame without finishing or pausing
the animation on the previous slide, the audio keeps playing over
the audio on the current frame. It becomes cacaphonic when you mvoe
quickly through multiple frames. Is there some way I can stop/pause
the audio of the previous animation when you move to the next
animation frame?
Thanks!
Roopesh

You said ...

Yes, there is. Do not insert animations (SWF)
containing their own built-in audio. If you do, the audio will
continue to play until it has completed, even if the user leaves
the slide on which the animation is inserted - but you knew that,
huh?
Sorry, couldn't resist stating the obvious, but I'm
sure you don't appreciate my sense of humor as much as I, so I'll
apologize once more. Sorry.
Seriously, when audio is contained (or "wrapped") in a shell
like another SWF file, you basically give up control of that audio
- because the PC's "focus" is on the main SWF - your Captivate
project. Instead, use the audio for the main project, either at
slide-level (preferred), or (second choice) at object-level, the
"object" being the inserted SWF.
Another possibility - which I haven't tried personally - is
to include, as a separate object in the inserted SWF, a "mute"
control that could be clicked before hitting the "Next" button.
Extra steps for the end user (and you), and it will require at
least a minimal knowledge of action-scripting (and a copy of
Flash), but it
might also work ... maybe ... perhaps.
Have a great day!

Resizing text and images with actions and keeping it resized for the next slides, how to?

Hello everybody,
I searched over the net and in this support section for a solution to my problem, but i didnt find any, so...here I am asking you experts.
Through a particular use of different actions I make a logo "compose" in the first slide of my presentation (the logo is composed by text and images that interact), then in the second slide i make it resize so it goes 50% of its size and moves down like a TV logo, in the corner of the slide, and I want it to stay there for all the lenght of the presentation.
It might be a stupid problem, but I didnt understand how to keep it there, 50% of its size and always in that position. If i duplicate the slide I obviously duplicate the 100%-size-logo, not its 50%-size-version, and if i shrink it in order to make it be 50% of its size the text size doesnt shrink so i have to change the text size manually, but the visual effect is imperfect.
Lets summarize:
slide 1: text appears, image appears, the text and the image move and "compose" the logo
slide 2: the complete logo reduces its size to 50% and moves in the lower corner of the presentation, in the place I want it to be for, lets say, 20 slides
slide 3: i want to have this logo already reduced in size and in its position, in the right lower corner, but if i try to group the different parts of the composed logo and i try to squeeze them the font doesnt change its size, I only squeeze the area that the text occupies.
Some help please guys?
Thanks in advance,
Dom-
(add: the problem is kind of similar to this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9179367#9179367 . the idea of making a slide that contains the logo and text in the exact positions they would be after the move and scale actions is good and that was my first attempt, the probem is that it looks impossible to me to create a second "little" version of the logo that looks exactly the same of the first one that i reduced, so i hope there is some way to tell the app to use "the first logo, only resized the way i want", and thats the point where the problem with the size of the text comes out)

Hi pritam,
The “maintain proportions of window for different monitor
resolutions” property will maintain the proportional size of the front panel
(its x and y sizes) when opened in a different resolution. The front panel
objects will not be resized and will appear larger (and may not fit inside the
front panel) when saved in a higher resolution, and moved to a lower
resolution. You can use the “Keep window proportions” property to achieve the
same results.
To have both the front panel dimensions and front panel
controls scale, you need to have both the above property and the “scale all
objects on front panel as the window resizes” selected. The labels will not be
resized by this.
I tried using both properties on two monitors and noticed
that the change does not occur when the resolutions between the monitors are
different. I had to lower both monitors’ resolution to see the change work
properly.
Please post back if you have any questions. Have a great day!
