help me...

I've started a project for this company and they are using cp5 for theri e-learning tool, its my first time using it, although i have made other e-learning packs with CP2/3

i wanted to use the fancy new widgets and have swf buttons on my menu page but I'm having problems with them not actioning and pausing the slide. I tired everything but they don't seem to jump to the correct slide, or pause the slide.

There is no advanced action option in the widget so I can't command them that way and when I hit the back button the the hold movie play with no pauses at all...

what wrong with it any ideas.

Hi,

I think i need to understand how button widgets pause a slide before it continues, I have a next button on my slide and its a flash version from the widgets panel. just a standard button on from captivate 5 library, but when i go into the options to say on click go to slide whatever it doesn't pause the slide and there is no way to adjust the pause on the button. On a normal button you can just add advanced option to progress when the delegate click or to hold until they do so. but here we have no such options

so all I need to understand is click button to move forward - not automaticly- and when i go back click button to move forward again not play all slide until then on

jas.

I'm still a little unclear about the forward and back issue you are having.  But, if the button's properties are not configurable then you may have to pause the slide using other means. 

One thing you could try is to create a completely transparent button, make it really small and place it somewhere on the stage where it is unlikely to be clicked by a user.  Set a pause on that button and adjust the timing as needed. 

I use this workaround often when I want users to use the playbar to navigate the course and I don't want any buttons to appear on stage.

Good luck...
