Question

Delaying a triggered object

Hi,

I have an advanced action that is showing a caption and playing triggered audio. I also have that action triggering the display of a Forward button. However, I want the Forward button to be delayed so that it doesn't display until the triggered audio is complete. Right now, I have the Forward button delayed on the timeline, but if a learner waits to click on those buttons, the Forward button will display immediately. If they click the buttons immediately, then the Forward button displays when I want it to.

What would be the best way to accomplish this without having it show up immediately?

You will have to use the timeline in that case and add the statement Continue. Be sure that the pausing point of the interactive object that triggers your advanced action is before the start of the timeline of the button. The amount of time between that pausing point and that start will be the delay before the button shows up.

Thanks, Lieve. I just tried that. I had my two buttons display 3.5 seconds after the slide started...that button triggers the advanced action. I set the pause on those buttons to 0.5 seconds. My Forward button is set to display at 17 seconds.

As before, if I wait to click the first or second button, it's still bringing my Forward button in too early. But if I click these two buttons right away, it's bringing it on time.

What did I do wrong here?

Is it because I have two buttons triggering that action? I have both buttons pausing at 0.5 seconds.
