Playbar not displaying when navigating using the TOC, help please!

[Beatrice@TSA]

I have created a project which includes a demo and assessment. The TOC settings are as follows:

Style: Overlay

Position: Left

Runtime Options: Self-Paced Learning, Show Topic Duration, Status Flag, Clear Button and Show Movie Duration (all other options are unchecked)

I have some slides where learners need to interact and the play bar has been set not to display on those slides, however you can display the TOC irrespective of what slide you are on. I have unchecked Enable Navigation, because prior to doing that, they could use the TOC go jump to a different section however the play bar was not displaying if you clicked on the TOC button when on a slide where you were supposed to click on something else. Is there a better way to do this, i.e., if a learner clicks on the TOC button and moves to a different slide in the project the play bar will display if it is supposed to on that slide.

You will need to use an action triggered by the On enter event on each slide where the playbar should be visible.

However there is some contradictions in your question: you disabled Navigation by TOC, but user can use it to navigate???

[Beatrice@TSA]

I have disabled Navigation by TOC because even though you could use the

panel to navigate the course, you did not have a play button to move you

on

I have an Advance Action on each slide that they are required to do something and therefore I do not want the play bar displayed. On enter Execute Advanced Actions, Script: PlaybarOff . On a slide where I don't need learners to click on anything apart from the playbar I have On enter Execute Advanced Actions, Script: PlaybarOn.

This works fine, however when a learner decides to access the TOC, they can then move around the course, however the Playbar stays off.

Ideally I would like the playbar to come back on, if I use the TOC to navigate to a section in the course where the playbar should be on.

Sorry, but you said that you turned off navigation by TOC, how can the user navigate using it?

[Beatrice@TSA]

Initially it was meant for navigation. I have disabled it now, so all it

will do is show the learner what topics they have covered and what is to

come, but not facilitate moving around in the course.

Did you realise you can use the cpLockTOC system variable, or Lock TOC and Unlock TOC Actions to dynamically control whether or not the TOC can be used to navigate?

I would personally think this preferable to disabling the TOC altogether just to prevent users from SOMETIME using the TOC to navigate.

You may be killing a fly with a sledgehammer here.
