Question

Captivate project moves ahead when I click anywhere on slide despite next btn being hidden. Help!

Hi Team

I have created a simple eLearning course with next and back buttons, which are images as button, that I imported from my storyboard power point. On some slides the learner is suppose to go through all the interaction on the slide and upon the last interaction the next button appears. However, on preview when I click anywhere else on the slide, the project still moves forward skiping all the interaction.

  1. How do I stop this?
  2. What should my setting be On enter, On exit on the slide? And
  3. When the next button is selected then what should be the setting on the Next button's Action tab? 

So far I have tried using a click box but I don't find that to be a sturdy solution. Please help.

    Just to clarify something that you said: "I have created a simple eLearning course with next and back buttons, which are images as button, that I imported from my storyboard power point. "

     

    Could you please clarify:

    • Did you make these images from PowerPoint into buttons by using the Save as Image feature in PowerPoint before then bringing them into Captivate as a graphic to use as an Image Button?
    • Or did you import the entire PPT deck into Captivate expecting that the button actions you set up inside PowerPoint would translate over and work the same in Captivate?
    • If these buttons are actually image buttons that were added in Captivate, then did you set the On Last Attempt actions of the buttons to No Action so that clicking outside the button would not result in any action?

    Hi Rod

    Thankyou for reaching out. So to your questions:

    1. You are right, I made the images in power point and impoted the image and checked the use as button option to use it as a button and Action is go to next slide. 

    2. Nope, its what you said in Q1

    3. Amm, I just checked and I had the 'Infinite Attempts' checked. So I unchecked it and the Last Attempts is on Continue.

    Is that the issue? What is the correct setting? Please could you explain how these settings work ?

     

    Many Thanks for your time 🙂
