Question

How do I keep "continue" from busting through the end of my slide?

Hello,

I use Captivate 9.

I have a slide that is supposed to look like a pop-up, and my intention is that the only way to navigate out of it is by closing it with using red x in the top right corner. This red x just takes the user to another slide.

I also have a pause / play button on the slide which uses a variable to toggle between "pause" and "continue", and if the user clicks this button enough times, he will "continue" right out of my pop-up and to the next screen, which I do not want.

How can I prevent this?

Thanks for any help!

Ryan

My red x is a click box over an image and "Pause Until User Click" is checkmarked.

Whichever Advanced Action is used to open up or SHOW your popup also needs to disable any other buttons on the same slide so that they will not respond to clicks.  The action executed by the object that closes your popup also needs to enable the other slide buttons at the same time.

Hi Rod,

Thanks for the reply.

I would still like the user to be able to use this play/pause button while on the "pop-up" slide. The reason is that I have a lot of hot spots on the pop-up slide which the user can click to see text / hear audio.  Deactivating each of these would ruin the point, unfortunately.
