Buttons – Progressing to next slide clicking anywhere on screen

Hi,

I have added Continue buttons to my project so the user stays on the same slide until pressing the button.

This works fine but the user can progress to the next screen clicking anywhere on the slide as well as the button.

How do I prevent this from happening please?

Thanks
Tom

Thanks, its Captive v 9.0.0.223.

Thanks

Tom

Not a very practical way to copy/paste such a button to all slides, instead of putting it on master slides, or time it for the rest of the project. You would need shape buttons in that case. You cannot be bothered by Fluid Boxes, they didn’t exist in CP9.

However, please upgrade ASAP, you are still on the very first (buggy) version. At least 3 patches were released. Most recent version starts with 9.0.2. Since my version has expired, cannot give you the full number.

Tried to check out the timeline: you did push the pausing point to the last frame of the slide, which I would never do, please leave a small inactive part on that button.

You have it set up with Infinte attempts, hence only a Success action. Try first of all to move the pausing point.

Moving the pausing point just means the timing of when the button works. In effect, the whole slide (clicking anywhere on it) is working like the button and I want to make only the button move the slides.

Lot ef experience with timeline problems taught me it can be dangerous to push the pausing point till the end, because that is where the playhead will pause. Of course, you don’t have to believe me not try to test. I don’t understand your logic at all. Learner is not aware of the frame where the playhead stops. Maybe some one else can try to  help.

It helps if you tell which version you are using (full number please.

You added that button to the slide itself, not to the master slide? Can you post a screenshot of the timeline, and of the Actions tab for that button?
