Question

Slide not advancing when linking to URL

Seems I get past one roadblock and find another...
I have a link to a URL (which is now working ) that opens in a new window. I have the clickbox set up with the URL and New is checked, as is Continue Playing Project. On the Options tab I only have Show Hand Cursor and Pause Project selected. The slide Navigation is set to Go to Next Slide. When you click the checkbox, obviously I want the URL to display, which it does in a new window. But I also want the slide to go to the next slide so that when the new window is closed, the slide has advanced. Here's what happens - the first time I click the link, the window opens and the URL displays, but the slide does not advance. If I close the window and click the link a second time, the new window opens and displays the URL and the slide advances the way I want it too. Why does it work the second time and not the first?

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

    Hi there tvipsm

    What other objects are on the slide? It's quite possible that another object is pausing the slide after you click.

    Cheers... Rick

    Hi Captiv8r

    Well, orginally there was another button on the slide, but I have already deleted that. Now all that is on the slide is the click box and two text captions. They are both set to Display For Rest of Slide and to Appear After 0.0 Seconds, and Effect is No Transition. Grrr.

    Thanks,
