Help!!! Click box is opening the TOC.

May 3, 2012 7:57 AM

I have a software simulation that I've added some text captions to and also added a click box with Enter as a short cut for them to progress to the next slide when they've finished reading.  I've done this before but this time when the user presses Enter the slide advances but the TOC also opens?  I've done this on other projects without the TOC opening.  Any ideas????

    It isn't any where near either the flag to open the TOC or the playbar with the TOC button.  I went back in and changed it to a transparent button and republished.  Still opened the TOC.  THen I Noticed I'd forgotten to add the graphic to the TOC and added it then republished and the TOC quit opening. LOL  Still don't know what caused it.

    OK.  Now that is something very interesting. 

     

    Are you saying that you had specified a graphic as the Expand Icon but somehow Captivate was not finding that graphic?

    What normally happens in my Captivate is that if I don't specify a different Expand Icon, Captivate just inserts its own default one.

     

    I tried to replicate your issue by removing my custom Expand Icons but it always reverted to the default one again.  I'm on Cp 5.5 so maybe your behaviour was a bug in Cp 5.

    No not the expand icons.  I just leave those the default ones.  We normally put a graphic on the TOC in the heading and I'd forgotten it.  I don't see any reason it would have made the click box or buttons on the slide open the TOC when it advanced to the next slide.

    Turns out it didn't mysteriously correct itself.  When I added the photo and ran it no TOC automatically opening on the 3 slides.  This morning on the three slides the TOC is opening again.  I took the clickbox/button off the slides and hope I have it timed correctly so it will look like it fell through when the student presses Enter.  I don't know what else to do.
