Question

Stopping audio when returning to slide

I had previously asked this question and this was your reply:

This is a possibility:

  • Create a user variable (a boolean), with a default value of 0. I will label it v_visit
  • Find a way to toggle that variable to 1 when you are on the slide. Since you didn't explain how the navigation is working (do you have buttons to go to the other slides?) cannot give you explanation, maybe with the button if you have it, maybe On Exit for the slide, or combined with the conditional action On Enter (but then you'll need two decisions, first one a mimicked standard action that only assigns the value 1 to v_visit)
  • Create a conditional advanced (or shared if you are on CP8) action:
    • IF v_visib is equal to 1
         Assign cpCmndMute with 1
         Continue
      ELSE
          Continue

Problem is that you'll have to unmute when entering each slide that is not that particular slide, which could be done with a simple action: "Assign cpCmndMute

Unfortunately either I did not do what you said correctly or it didn’t work.  Please remember I am using Captivate 5.5.  I have attached a copy of the screen that is causing me problems.

The user can click on each of the boxes (Record, Information, Management or Lifecycle) and they will be taken to a screen with additional information, for example:

The user would then click “Back” to the first screen I displayed.  I do not want the user to keep hearing the same recording over and over. 

The Narration button when clicked displays the text in the text box.  If the user clicks the box it will hide the box.  The user can continue to get the addition information until they click “Next” which jumps them to another slide. 

I hope by including these two slides, it clears up what I am trying to do.  I have a couple other situations just like this in this project.  If I can get this one to work, I believe I will be able to modify the others to work as well. 

Any and all help is much appreciated.

If you did include all information in a question it would be a lot easier to answer.

How did you set up the functionality to show the Next button after all chapters have been visited? (maybe based on one of my many posts about that subject)? Do  you trigger that conditional action On Enter for this menu slide or in another way? If On Enter is used for the menu slide, could you please post a screenshot of the conditional action you are using?

To be honest, I do really do not know how to apply the script.  I first used it on the menu screen "On Enter" and I also tried "On Exit." Neither worked.  Should I be associating the script with the "Next" button or the "Back" button.  I just don't know when and where to activate the script.  The buttons either take you to the next screen or jump you to another screen.  Back button will take you to the menu screen.  The "Narration" just opens the text caption box.

I am wondering if there is an easier way to get this to work.

I have applied (and explained) this many times. But I still do not know if you have already a conditional action On Enter that will show the Next button when everything has been clicked at least once?
