Question

Replay a slide.

Good morning,

First off let me say I am sorry I am not a programmer I just pieced this information together from the forums originally.

I have recently updated from 5.5 to 6 and I have noticed an issue. With 5.5 I could replay a slide by adding an advance action to the button.
cpCmndGotoSlide with rpInfoCurrentSlide

When I converted a 5.5 project to 6  that action became

cpCmndGotoSlide with cpInfoCurrentSlide  there is no rpInfoCurrentSlide as a default variable.

Problem is now, when I click on the button it takes me to the next slide.
Anyone have any advice for me?  (Other than learn how to program)

Thank you all for the help
P.S. is there any REALLY good books for more advanced Captivate 6 stuff?

    I explained this issue in a recent blog post, and how to change this expression:

    http://lilybiri.posterous.com/system-variables-in-captivate-6

    AFAIK there has never been a book for really advanced Captivate, and sorry if I'm insulting some people. Apparently most people do not need advanced techniques at all.

    Thank you for the article I will go through it and try to figure this out.

    Most of the stuff I have no problem with in captivate, but I am looking for

    a book that might be able to answer more questions. Example can I move the

    mouse movements from a simulation from one captivate file to another? How

    can I learn to do some of the Advance Scripting, things like that.

    Also I need alittle more help being able to know hwo to correctly save

    styles and such so I can bring them into the next project alittle easier.

    Thank you for the response

    Good day...

    I tried doing what the article said...
    I have a Click box

    I have the advanced action set as the article said.
    Expression     cpcmndgotoslide = cpinfocurrentslide - 1

    Assign               cpcmndresume with 1

    When I click on the button it goes to a white screen and stops.

    As I stated before all I am trying to do is have a replay this slide button.   I have alot of text to speach and if someone missed something I would like for them to just be able to click a button and replay the entire slide again.

    Sorry I am very new to the expressions and stuff so some of it doesnt make alot of sense to me yet.

    thank you again for all the help.
