Click Box - On Click go to next slide after X seconds

Question

Hi,I am using click boxes to help users understand more about certain aspects of a software application. When they click on highlighted area a caption displays explaining more about the area. I am executing advanced actions to display the captions. Rather than using the playbar to move to next slide, i'd like the video to move onto the next slide automatically after e.g. 5 seconds. I was thinking if I had a variable with the time value in it, I could then add an additional line with an expression (goto to next and use the variable to control when that happens ) to my execute advanced actions to achieve this. I cant quite get there.Can some help me out, or advise of a far easier way to achieve this ThanksDan

With advanced actions it is not possible, you cannot time. I don't understand clearly what you want: has each slide only one click area to show text? You could use a combination of an action with the timeline. Be sure to have 5 seconds left after the pausing point of the click box (which is the end point of its timeline), and add Continue to the advanced action.

Another approach: using the timer or hourglass interaction (you can setits alpha to 0% to make it invisible), but it is a bit cumbersome to set up and not very precise in timing.
