Question

Click boxes and buttons not working

Hi

I have created 4 captivate projects in the last week and everything is working really well - except in one of the projects I have a button and a click box that are not working.

I am using Captivate 4, the project is 45 slides long.

The button is set to continue - works in preview but not after the course has been published.

The click box is set to continue - works in preview but not after the course has been published.

Any ideas??

Hi there

In other words, you are saying the project is not pausing? Or is it the opposite? The project is pausing but clicks aren't allowing the pause to be released?

How exactly are you telling the Button or Click Box to Continue?

Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick

Sorry for not including all the details - they are stopping the slide but not continuing to the next slide when clicked.

I set the button and click box to continue in the properties information.

Have had a little play - It seems to be that sometimes (not always) if the slide has not completely finished playing that the button or click box will not work. If you leave the slide and then return to, let the slide completely play and then click the button of click box it works.  I have shortened the playing time of the slides in the hope that this will hide - if not fix the problem.

Would appreciate any other ideas?

Thanks Rick - as always this has been helpful.  I found the problem with the click box and had faded away!!!!

Transition fade in and fade out is very annoying!!!

Thanks for your help.


Hello,

Sorry to pop in, but you puzzled me: as far as I know a Click box doesn't have a transition, since it is normally invisible? You mentioned 'fade in and fade out', but you were talking about which kind of object? Perhaps an object that was covered up with the click box? I do not like those fadings neither...
