Question

Screen is graying out before actions are completed

I've got a Captivate 9, blank project. I'm using the white theme.  I have not changed the defaults on anything. I have a slide with audio and at the end of the audio it says, "Click on each image to find out more." 4 image buttons appear.

Each button has had the pause removed and, upon clicking it, conditional advanced actions play it's own audio file, increase the variable to 1 and, if the other image buttons (4 total) have already been clicked, then automatically go to the next slide. I have a small click box in the corner to pause the slide, and deactivated "allow mouse click". The click box is hidden on output. 

My problem is this. A few seconds after the audio stops, the slide grays out and none of the advanced actions are working. Is it a timeline issue or length of slide issue?

Very probable: timeline issue. Can you pkease post a screenshot of the timeline of that sclie, and of the conditinoal action(s)?

You shouldn't have taken out the pausing points of the buttons, but have them all at the same position. If you take it out, the playhead will continue.

advanced action

The Else statements are the same first 3 lines in Actions.

timeline 

Again, the buttons appear as the audio says, "Click on each image to find out more."

That's cool. Thank you!

After they listen to all the audio files, the slide can automatically go to the next slide because they have to do the same thing with four new images.

I had the variables in there because I wanted to count each time the image was clicked. Once all four variables on the screen were greater than one, the slide would go to the next screen. 


That makes it more complicated, You will need conditional actions, and variables in that case. From the screenshot I see that you are not yet on CP2017, which would be easier. The two decisions will be:

First decision 'Always' is a mimicked standard action. FOr button 1 that would be

IF 1 is equal to 1

  Disable Bt_2

  Disable Bt_3

  Disable Bt_4

  Play Auido 1

  Assign v_one with 1

  Delay Next actions by x secs                  x = length of the audio clip in seconds

  Enable Bt_2

  Enable Bt_3

  Enable Bt_4

Second decision 'CheckVars'

   IF v_one is equal to 1   AND

       v_two is equal to  1    AND

       v_three is equal to 1   AND

       v_four is equal to 1

    Go to Next Slide
