Rollover image transitions

Question

I'm a new Captivate user working with version 3. I've been
fighting with Captivate to try and allow users in a training CBT to
mouseover a spot, see a simulated flyout submenu (via rollover
image), then be able to click an item in the submenu to continue.
The only acceptable workaround I've found is to have the
rollover image that displays the flyout submenu exit slowly (4
seconds or more, ideally), so I can position a click box in the
desired spot. The user feels like they're clicking on the submenu
since that's how it looks, but in Captivate they're actually
clicking on a spot in the background image...the delayed fade of
the rollover image creates that illusion.
Here's the problem. For whatever reason, the amount of time I
can set for the fade time of the rollover image varies from slide
to slide. Sometimes it's capped at 2.9 seconds, sometimes 4.3
seconds, etc.. All of my slides are set to run 600 seconds and I've
got the rollover image set to continue to the end of the slide.
Anybody have any idea what's causing that time limit and how
I can change it? 2.9 seconds just isn't enough - the image starts
to fade right before a typical user would be ready to click.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Slide 1 contains the "jump to next slide" mouseover widget in
the correct spot. Add a click box tucked away in the corner of the
slide with a Failure caption directing the user where to mouse
over. We don't want the user to actually click the box, we just
want the Failure caption so don't enable reporting for the box if
you're using an LMS.
The user mouses over and the movie jumps to slide 2, where
the fly-out menu is visible with a click box over the correct menu
item. The click box uses its own Failure caption.
User clicks the menu item and movie progresses to slide 3...
Should be a piece of cake...
