Help with using transparent buttons on images

  • March 27, 2008

I am taking pictures of a piece of equipment and loading the images to slides in Captivate 3. Then by using the jump to feature to have it go from slide to slide, simulating that a button is being pushed and then what a person would see.

The problem is that if they don't click on the button the show automatically advances to the next slide, which is typically not the slide they would have been directed to. Do you know of an easy fix for this?

Thank you ahead of time!

    Hi again Serena

    Check to see if there is possibly a Click Box already on the slide that is covering the area. This could be the case if you imported from PowerPoint. If so, you will need to remove that Click Box object. Basically, a click outside the Click Box area should be ignored. This is why I suspect you have a larger area behind the smaller.

    Cheers... Rick

    Welcome to our community, Serena!

    Are you using actual Transparent button types? Or Click Boxes? (Click Boxes are essentially Transparent Buttons, but are more flexible)

    Either way, these are normally configured with a pause action to stop the slide dead in its tracks until your user clicks to interact. Did you by chance remove the pause? You should probably examine the settings.

    Cheers... Rick

    I was using buttons, transparent, with no text but see what you meant when you said to try click boxes and the settings.

    Once I read your reply I went and tried the click boxes and checked to make sure the settings said to pause until user clicks, but it is still letting a user click outside of the click box to make it go to a slide that is next in sequence instead of forcing the user to click on the click box.

    Do you have any other suggestions?

    Thank you!
