Captivate 8 TTS - trun it off on retrun to slide

Question

Hi,

I am running Captivate 8. I have enabled TTS on my menu slide. I would like the tts to only run once, and each time the user returns tot he menu, the slide notes are not repeated. I tried creating a variable and setting it to 0. Upon entrance to the slide, if the value is greater than 0 I turn audio off. When I leave the menu slide I increment the variable. This does not work. Is it possible to turn the slide notes audio off for one slide?

Thanks,

Peter

You want to turn audio totally off when visiting a slide the second time? Indeed, you'll need a user variable v_visit. The problem is the event you are using when changing that boolean from the default value 0 to 1: since this is a 'menu' slide I suspect there are buttons or other interactive objects that let the user jump to another slide. This means that the On Exit event will never trigger an action, because it will only occur when the last frame of the slide is visited which is certainly not the case on a menu slide.

You'll have to find another 'event': that can be the Success event of the 'Back to Menu button' in the different parts. You should have been able to see this error, if you had inserted the user variable in a text container, it will never have been changed (just my intuition).
