Advanced Action with assign command needs 4 clicks to workI

I made an Advanced Action (AA) with 5 'assign' actions and 1 'Jump to slide' action (see below). The AA is triggered by a button.

When I am playing the project and click this button nothing happens. I have to press the button 4 times before the AA is triggered / that is the desired effect of the AA is there. When I remove the 'assign' actions from the AA the button and AA works as they should. With one click the AA is triggered and shows the desired effect.

Does anybody has any clue what this could be? Thanks a lot.

I am using 10.01.285 on OSX, with CpExtra and publish to html5. I tried many things, but nothing works so far. Also tried an AA with only 3 'assign' actions or with 15 'assign' actions, same result. I also tried assigning a different value than 0, same result.

Correct answer paulras

Hi Lieve,

I tried lots of things to solve this strange behaviour. They all did not work... Then I tried opening this project on a different computer with the same Captivate version but with a newer OSX AND without CpExtra installed. Everything worked great!

So I uninstalled CpExtra from my 'working' computer and the AA works as expected. Very strange. I will contant the CpExtra people for this, since I really like using CpExtra. Thanks for your help.

Please, post a screenshot of the timeline, and select the button that is triggering this action before taking the screenshot.

Thanks for your reply Lieve. I enclosed the screenshot.

You think it could be something with the 'timing' settings of the button?

Spreekt u Nederlands? Ik zie een script 'opnieuw'.  Geen enkel probleem om in mijn moedertaal te antwoorden!

Sure, was a strange problem. I couldn't see antyhing in the timeline, except another interacdtive object that was timed for the rest of the project. It is a bit strange that you kept the pausing point of the button triggering 'opnieuw' at 1.5secs. instead of later, but of course I didn't know the content of the script. Maybe have a look at:
