I want to break the while loop and start it again on slide entrance.
Hello Captivate users,
I encountered a little problem and decided to put it up for a discussion. Maybe someone will come up with a solution.
I created a while loop with changing pictures. A few pictures appear for one second and disappear. It works fine, until I jump to another slide and return to the “looped” one. It seems that the loop is still running. I mean the cycle doesn’t start from the beginning, which is the desired effect in my case, but somewhere from the middle. I was looking for something like a ‘break’ command in programming languages, which could be applied on slide exit, but it seems there’s no such option.
Any ideas what the problem might be ?

While loop cannot be stopped by a pause nor a pausing point. I mentioned that in my interactive movie about the Timeline:
It’s a kind of way round, but it’ll work. I thought of a kind of shortcut…
There is no Break command. You can create a limited While instead of a perpetual loo, using a variable with a maximum or a minimum and the Increment, Decrement command in the sequence of commands. Most of the use cases with While on my blog are not perpetual.
