Question

Captivate 9, slide pause on exit and resume on enter

Hello all,

I am using Captivate 9 and have a file that is 52 slides in length. Within that 52 slides are 3 "modules" or groupings for the Table of Contents. Most slides contain either an audio or video (MP4) file. The audio on each slide starts about 1-3 seconds in so Captivate doesn't think it is one long audio file. Within each module/grouping we have added navigation on the slide (in addition to the playbar supplied by Captivate) so the user can go to the next slide. When the user opts to use the navigation on the slide (as opposed to the playbar navigation), we would like the audio/video to pause, AND when the user comes back to a page that is paused,we would like the audio/video to resume. I know I have to use Advanced Actions, and I am thinking I will need to use javascript, but am having trouble making it work. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Kathy

    This would NOT be all that easy to achieve.

    When leaving the slide via the slide navigation buttons you would need to be capturing the exact timeline frame the user was on at that point, store the value in a user variable FOR THAT SLIDE ONLY so that if they returned to the slide again, an On Slide Enter action could pick up the value of the exit frame and then jump to that point.

    To have this work across all slides in the project would require a user variable for every slide, and a shared action (executed on slide enter) that was set up with different parameter to access that variable on every slide.

    I REALLY would not expect all of this to be worth the effort, but your mileage may differ...
