Question

Pop up menu advanced action

Hi there,

I have created an advanced action showing and hiding pop-up menu with some content. It looks like this

One group has been created that contains all buttons and images inside pop up menu.
Adv. Action on first click to show menu:

Show group1

Hide showbutton

Adv. Action on second click to hide menu:

Hide group1

Show showbutton

I did it this way in order to maintain the same button spot like in android pop-up menu. However, it works fine unless you move on to the next slide. Then the pop up menu is locked you can't hide it anymore.

Cheers,

Adam

You should hide it always On Enter for each slide.

Sorry, I am on phone, which explains why my answers are short. Will try again.

Whenever I train about advanced/shared actions I warn trainees to consider all possible situations. In your case it is about the user not closing the popup menu before

proceeding to the next slide. The On Enter event is available for each slide and excellent to trigger and advanced/shared action that will restore

the situation on any slide in its original state.  In your case to close the popup menu and show the button, which means the commands of the ELSE part of your conditional action, but now in a standard action.

Since you probably have both group1 and the button timed for the rest of the project, you can use an advanced standard action. No need for a shared action. Apply that action to all slides, to the On Enter event.

However if you keep a playbar, and the user scrubs the progress bar, ending up somewhere in a slide, the On Enter event is not executed. I would recommend not to use a default playbar, but provide custom navigation buttons.
