Question

How can I stop the progression to the next slide?

Hello,

I want that there is only one way to get to the next slide: by using the button or click box (I tried it with both) at the right side of the page. I added a click box and chose the option "stop until user clicks" (the wording may vary as I'm using Captivate 10 - 2017 in German). The click box appears after 1,7 seconds and pauses the project. But when I click two times in the middle of the slide it moves forward to the next slide. This happens on sites with drag-n-drop and on normal sites (only text).

I did not find an answer for this problem. The project is a power point import, unfortunately I cannot remember if I chose the move forward automatically or by clicking.

Maybe someone knows what to do!?

Best regards

Claudio

(I'm using Captivate 9 and released the course in moodle)

Can you post a screenshot of the timeline?

Check also the number of attempts for the click box or the button? What is the Success action? If the number of attempts is not infinite, what is the Last attempt action?

Have a look at:

Yes, of course: 2017-09-05_09h30_08

I chose unlimited attempts and success action is "go to the next slide".

Thank you!

The timeline is not totally visible. I see two interactive objects, and suspect that the click box has been added when importing the PPT-slides. Can you check its size, because if it is indeed that automatically added click box it will be covering up the slide. SInce the shape button has no pausing point, if the CB covers the slide, it is normal that you'll proceed to the next slide after a couple of clicks. If you click on the slide before reaching the start of the timeline of the CB, nothing will happen, but once you are in the active part of the CB the action Go to Next slide will occur.
