Skip repeated Slides

Hi Folks,

I have a nested scenario where users have to select from two given options and based on his/her selection the results may vary. There is an Voice Over in the background, which reads the options and feedback of our selection. User can Select any option only once the VO completes (Basically we disabled the next/selection button till the VO ends).

So here comes my issue, if the user makes couple of wrong selections he/she must start the scenario from the beginning...where I don't want the VO to play as the user is restarting the course (he/she already have listened to the VO), which means when the users restarts the slide it should begin from resume stated slide without any VO or animations.

How can we proceed with this.. I know we can duplicate the slide and makes the user to go to that particular slide without VO or animations if he restarts, but as I told you it's a nested scenario and it is hard to track the user's flow and they were around 60 slides in the whole scenario.

Do we any option where we can go directly to the resume stated slide (End Frame) inbuilt in Captivate or any logic which I can write to make this happen. Could you guys, direct me for any step-by-step process or any tutorial link, which helps me out.

Thanks in advance..Happy elearning !!!..

I don't have enough details (how is the slide set up, what do you mean by animations, where are the buttons pausing the slide,....) to give a totally directly usable solution. The idea is to store the frame number of the button's pausing point in a user variable. Instead of just jumping back to the slide, you jump to that pausing number. I call that using 'micro-navigation', which is not an official word, but blogged about that idea in: Micro-Navigation in Adobe Captivate - Captivate blog

Hi Lilybiri,

Thanks for your quick response..!! I have tried your links, but somehow I wasn't able to integrate it properly into my scenario. I'm quite new to Captivate and I tried for video tutorials, but no luck.

I'm attaching you my dropbox link to better understand my slide setup and animations (basically text fading in animation). Please have a look and if possible send me back the same file for my better understanding.

Sorry but I'm just a user, and decided not to debug files. Video tutorials are OK for simple things, but not for more complicated work flows like you want. That is the reason why I mostly write out in text with screenshots. The blog is not really for starters with Captivate, there are enough simple video tutorials around. If you have more questions, will try to answer them.
