Question

Lesson Play minute and time not working

Details:

I created a timed game in Captivate. Its a timed trial, essentially.

A "set start" action is set as the "on exit" action of a slide.

A "set end" action is set on clicking of a later slide. On the same slide, the action of "final result" is set "on exit" of the slide. If it took the learner <10 minutes, they are taken to slide X, between 10-12:59, slide Y, and >13, slide Z.

What happens - I am taken to the correct slide based on how long it took me to complete the game, but I also have variables listed on the slide to display the learner's final time (in minutes and seconds) and yet nothing displays. This file was upgrade from CP6 > CP8...could that be the problem? Do I have to rebuild the variables/actions?  Any help would be much appreciated.

On exit event is not a good choice for any action. Just a comment.

If you want help, please most some screen shots of the advanced actions. Upgrading can cause issues indeed. Do you track the variables while debugging?

Thanks for responding. Here's the screenshot of the set start on exit. It worked like a charm in the previous version, but is the new version buggy w/"on exit"?

Here is the set end action:

And then here is the expression on the slide their final time should display.

Also, I don't kow what debugging means with relation to upgrading to CP8 - so I likely didn't do that. Any pointers there?

Where is the calculation of v_min, v_sec ? I don't see that in your advanced actions at all. Something like I described here:

Display Time information - Captivate blog

On which slide is Animation_7?

On Exit has never been a trustworthy event, it is executed really after the last frame of the slide, which means on the first frame of the next slide. If the last frame of a slide is not visited (which happens often when you have a navigation button, or the user clicks on the Next button on the playbar), that action will never be executed.
