Question

Advanced Actions "Jump to slide" vs. button On Success "Jump to slide".. different somehow?

I've got the weirdest bug holding me up from final publishing a lesson from Captivate 7.0.1.237. I've got a conditional action that checks to see if the learner visited an instructional "orientation" slide: If the 'orientationVisited' variable is false (initial value = 0) the conditional action uses "Jump to slide" action & plays the orientation slide. Then I set 'orientationVisited' to True, return to the last slide visited, and they never see that orientation slide again.
Here's where it gets weird. It's working fine, except that when they get to the orientation slide and it plays through, the audio is not playing. To test, I put a button on another screen that would "Jump to slide" to get to the same orientation slide (regardless of the 'orientationVisited' value) and that plays the slide with slide audio audible. But the slide always plays without its slide audio if I get there through the conditional action. Anyone know what's going on???

Okay, I tried that, but because I'm triggering the Advanced Action from one slide, then jumping to another, it doesn't seem like ANY lines after the "Jump to slide" get activated (after the first attempt, I put in some other actions just to test this.)

On the slide I was jumping to, I had originally used the "On Enter" to set the 'orientationVisited' variable to 1/True. But your suggestion led me to try using another Advanced Action on that slide instead, with one line to set the variable, and one line to play the audio.  It works, and even the timing of the slide stays in sync since the audio clip is the same.  But it doesn't feel like a solution so much as a successful workaround.  Oh, well - any port in a storm, right?

It depends on the content of those 'lines'! Sequence of action s i very important for advanced actions. Did you try to put the Jump to Slide at the end?

I haven't seen this particular bug with Conditional Actions before but would suggest you try taking the audio off the slide and adding a Play Audio action to the Conditional Action on a line AFTER it jumps to the slide.
