Information not displaying when I use the GoToFrame Command

[travlr588]

OK...before I tear my hair out I'm going to the well (again) for help.

I'm trying to use the "cpCmndGotoFrame" and "....AndResume" commands but when the project jumps to the commanded frame nothing on the slide that wasn't there on the first frame of that slide displays.

I've got a narrated introductory slide for a portion of my course.  After the narration finishes it directs the learner to select the buttons that appear on the page toward the end of the narration to learn about the three sub-topics.  Once the learner reviews each sub-topic that are routed back to the original narrated intro slide, but they must select all three sub-topic buttons before they will get the "Next" button to move on in the course.

What I'm trying to do is use some form of the  "GotoFrame" command to send the learn back into the introductory slide at a point after the narration has run.  Here's the advanced action I setup for "On Enter" of the slide:

The command works in that it sends me back to the correct frame (I inserted a text caption with the framecount variable to confirm), but when it does most of the frame content is gone.  The only items that are still displayed are the ones that were set up to display in the first frame of that slide....anything that comes in after that first frame won't display.  I've tried both "GotoFrame" and "GotoFrameAndResume"...and I've tried using and not using the "Continue" action.

Any help on what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Is this HTML5 or Responsive output?

Rod....I'm not to the point of publishing yet....I'm using the "Review Project" option at the moment.

Jay, just some ideas. You don't need Continue after GotoFrameAndResume, that is just twice the same command because 'Resume' supposes already that the playhead has to Continue.

What you are doing is like scrubbing on the progress bar within the playbar. You say 'On Enter' for which slide? Is that the Introductory slide? What is in the other decisions of that conditional action, is it setting something to mark the visited chapters for each chapter?

Lilybiri,

I thought the "continue" was redundant, but I was trying different options to see if I could get it to work.  The "currentframe" variable is telling me that it's jumping back into the slide at the right point, but the play head isn't moving once it does....there are 18 frames to go before the timeline hits a pause.

To answer your other question, I've got a lot going on "On Enter" in this conditional advanced action; which is on he "Introductory" page.  When the learner selects each of the three sub-topic buttons, an advanced action jumps to the appropriate slide and changes a variable value from 0 to 1 (ie the three variables in the "IF" statement above).  So, the first action in the action checks each variable and if they are all "1" then it shows the next button; else it hides it.  There are three more actions that check each variable and display an "X" next to each button if the appropriate variable equals "1" to show they learner they've been there already.

The last variables, the one above, is the one that's giving me fits.  I'm sure it's something incredibly simple....I'm just not seeing it.
