prevent a learner from progressing on a slide

Question

Hi community,I want to have the next button greyed out and so can't be clicked until after 5 seconds elapses and then opacity goes to  100% and then the learner can click next and proceedI can use a JS timer for this and it works well, but a bit of a fiddle tbh!Is there a shared action or some other way i can do this I have 100s of buttonsso something easy would be really good thanks in advance MM

You don't have any other interactive object? Are you using Captivate 9 or 2017? If yes, you can use this workflow:

Add a custom state to the (shape) button with that 'dimmed' look.

Create a shared action which looks like this:

Disable button

Change state of button to Dimmed

Delay Next Actions by 5 seconds

Enable button

Change state of button to Normal

The three items in blue will be parameters in the shared action. If you want to use this with different delays, you can add the literal '5' as parameter.

Trigger this shared action On Enter of each slide. Beware: this Delay command will not be paused by the pausing point of an interactive object.

Beware; I am talking about a custom Next button, not about the Next button on the playbar!
