Question

Back button not working as intended.

Hi All, hope all is well. 

 

Im working on a project where I would need to add a back button to go back to the previous slide, I wanted it to be hiding and goes on when roll over and stays for the rest of the project.

 

I've added an image as button and set the action to go to the last slide visited and also tried go back to the previous slide. However, it doesnt work as intended as it triggers the failure from the click box on the same slide. It works if there are no clickbox on the slide. Can someone please suggest a solution. Thank you.

 

Please see attached video of whats happening. Cheers

    Hi @Lilybiri @RodWard @Astro The Goat , Since I'm trying to modiy an existing project. and cannot see what you are pointing out, then I realise to create a new project from scratch, and differentiate the click boxes. the old one which im modifying has 'include to quiz' toggled, which works well not until I tried to add a back button. turns out. turning that off solves the issue. Im just wondering what is the reason for that? and also is there a way to turn off the (include to quiz) in all slide easily? (eg. I got 300 slides). Thanks all

    Hi Mike,

     

    The option to "Include in Quiz" would not affect the order of events on the slide timeline, so if its working  now, it must be how you have placed the back button on the slide.

    Sorry, lets ignore the fact that its hidden. so theres two button on the slide. one is the click box that proceed to the next slide and the other one is the image button which appears every slide (or possible set to stay for the rest of the project) and has the action go back to the previous slide.

    please the attached video and timeline

    Thanks for the video and image that helps.  

     

    You need to set the image button that you are going to be using as your "Back" button to have "Timing" for the "Rest of the Project".

     

    Because you will also have other interacions on the slide, the image should not be set to "Pause After" a set time in the "Timing" properties.

    Thanks and apologies for a bunch of attachments.

     

    I've just tried that but it seems it is ignoring the fact that I'm clicking the back button and wants to go back to the previous slide/last visited. Please see updated attachments

     Hi,

     

    If you want the back button to appear for the rest of the project, that is something you can set in the "Timing" properties for the button, or as an alternative, you could add the button to a Master Slide.   Although if its initailly "hidden" how would you know that the back button was there?

     

     

    If the clickbox is being triggered, then its possible that you have made the clickbox is "in front" of other objects/interactions on the slide or too large that it covers the other interactions...

    Hi Thanks for the reponse. Yes its currently staying for the rest of the project. I havent tried adding it to the master slide, will try that. Since its a software simulation project, Im avoiding to add a static button as its causing the content's experience but still giving the learner an opportunity to use a hidden back button if they missed few captions they need to read again. They will know about it as I will be putting a Hint at the start that they can hover their mouse on the corner if required etc. 

     

    I've toggled (place the object on top) and make sure that it is at the front of everything. and it works well if there are no click box on the same slide.

     

    So Im not sure if I need to do something on the click box or change the back button to execute advanced action.

    No worries.  It may be a timing issue with the button(s) being used and the clickbox.

     

    Do they exist for the same amount of time on the timeline of the slide?  

     

    Have you set the "Pause After" option for the button?  Clickboxes don't have this option and only pause if you have the option "Pause project until user clicks" sleected.
