How to go to end of timeline using a button

[Mahrcas]

I have 5 slides in my presentation, each slide has 7 buttons (previous/next page, play/pause, replay, TOC, and end) all of the other buttons are working fine, but I can't get the programming of the end button to go to the end of my timeline. How can I achieve that? each slide contains audio, video, and images.

Thank you,

Veronica

Which 'timeline' do you mean, please?  There are many timeline in Captivate. Have a look at:

Captivate'd Timeline

The timeline in one of my slides. see attached image:

All the other buttons are working fine. I can pause, replay the slide and move back and forward in my presentation, but the end button does not work. I need to go to the end of the slide when the button is clicked. I tried using the command: cpComdGotoFramAndResume = cpInfoCurrentFrame - # but it does not work. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for your help!

What is the goal of going to the last frame of a slide? One of the easiest ways would be to go to the next slide and rewind a couple of frames.

  Go to Next Slide

   Expression cpCmndGotoFrame = cpInfoCurrentFrame - 3

If you use cpCmndGotoFrameAndResume you are releasing the playhead immeidately and there will be no pausing at the end of the slide (I still don't understand why you want that).

BTW None of your buttons at this moment is pausing the slide.

Hi, I need to go to the end of the slide so the students can review the content of the slide. all the elements of the screen are timed with the audio so the only way to see all the text is to go to the end of the slide.

Did you try the solution I posted? I have another solution, using a shared action 'SkipFrames', but it will be more difficult to apply since you have to enter the duration to be skipped on each slide. Have a look at:

Hi Lilybiri,

Unfortunately, the first solution you gave me did not work. When I clicked the button it pauses the slide instead of going to the end frame of the slide. I will try the second one today and I'll let you know.

Thank you so much for your help!!

How did you test, please?
