Pausing Slide during imported SWF interaction

[NathanStryker]

Hi All-

I have a Captivate Project that contains an SWF interaction that I have created. What I want is for the captivate project to pause until the user has completed all of the interactions on the SWF file, and then proceed to the next captivate slide.

Within the SWF I have a series of booleans that that make sure all interactions == true, when that is completed a "finish" button appears... How do I have that finish button interact with captivate and tell it to continue? Or how do I tell the SWF to activate a "next" button within Captivate?

I hope this makes sense ...

Hi Caleb -

I figured out the solution to my problem. I am not sure if this will help you, but what I did is this....

In Captivate I added a next button to the slide, this pauses Captivate. Then at the end of my SWF file I added the simple code

visible=false;

To the final function

in other words

exit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, exitClicked);

function exitClicked(e:MouseEvent)

     {

          visible=false:

     }

This effectivly  "Hides" the SWF file allowing the user to see the "next" button hidden beneath it.

FYI (make sure you put the "next" button some where behind the SWF where the user will not accidantly click on it, apparently the interactions will work "through" the SWF file.

Let me know if you have any questions.
