Repeat slide without detour or actionscript

Captivate has no repeat-button. The most common solution for this problem (an imperfection of Captivate) is to insert an extra 'detour'-slide (0.5 sec). Also I have seen some Flash solutions to jump to the first frame of a slide.

I found a simple solution that uses only one line of Advanced scripting. Check it out here: http://www.dorna.nl/?page_id=255

I updated the example (now in CP5). You can see and download it on http://www.dorna.nl/?p=380.

Re: Repeat slide without detour or actionscript

Greetings

I would like to see your example amended.

It seems incorrect as stating that the extra slide approach is considered "The 'official' way", as I don't believe that to be true. There is no "official" way to do it. Certainly the extra slide way was the only way we had in versions up to and including 3. But version 4 changed that with adding the Advanced Actions.

Cheers... Rick

Re: Repeat slide without detour or actionscript

You’re right, there is no ‘official way’. I’ve changed the text in the caption. It remains strange that the default button (or clickbox) action can not repeat the slide. I have a feature request submitted with the request to add the own slidenumber to the listbox
