Hi All-

Just like the title implies I am trying to find a way to lock a slide and prevent the user from skipping to the next one (until the current slide is done playing).

I'm sure this is some where in here I'm just not finding it.

Could somebody point me in the right direction?

Hi Lyon,

Thanks for the reply, I now have 2 options which is great.

Welcome to our community, Nathan

Unless Captivate 4 has some scripting that allows it the way you accomplish it is by not using a Playback Control. With no Playback Control for the user to use it becomes impossible to skip a slide. You would then either simply allow the slide to proceed to the next slide or you would provide a Button timed so that it wasn't available until the slide played through completely.

Cheers... Rick

Thanks Captiv8r-

Forgive my newness to this program, I understand what you are saying about adding a "timed" button to advance, but I dont know how to turn off the navigation bar at the bottom. I would assume this feature would be a slide property, but that is not what I'm finding there....

Hi again

Typically the playback controls are an all or nothing situation. If you are using Captivate 3, someone familiar with programming Flash could create a widget that you would drop into a slide to turn the playback controls off for only a single slide.

But if you are using Captivate 4, there is a new scripting capability. Actually, one of the Community Experts here posted something earlier in the week that shows you how to do it. I'll look up the thread and post the link below in case you are using Captivate 4.
