Question

Need to pause slide until button clicked but NOT disable rollover captions.

I used to be able to do this, but I haven't really worked much in Captivate for five years, and now I can't remember how I did it.

Details:

I have five roll-over captions.

I want users to take all the time they need to read what's in the roll-overs, then push a button to continue to the next slide.

Currently, if I don't add a button, the slide advances to the next slide automatically.

If I do add a button, it makes the roll-overs inactive at some point, so unless I just stretch out the timing to forever, I'm not sure what to do.

I'm using 5.5.

Thank you!!

Do you have all of the rollover captions set for duration of Rest of Slide?

The rollovers should not be triggering the button to move past it's pause point. My guess is that something else s happening here.

Yes, they are set for rest of slide. If I don't have a button, though, the slide just keeps playing and transitions to the next one. If I do have a button, the slide runs until the button activates. The slide is paused, but the roll-overs don't work either.  So I need to find a way that the slide will not advance until the button is clicked, but the rollovers will still work. When I used to do a lot of developing five years ago, I could do that. How did I do it?  Thanks!

Something is not making sense here. Rollover captions should not be affected by the presence of a button or any other object pausing the timeline.

Can you show us a screenshot of one of your rollover objects to see how you have it set up on the screen in Edit mode?
