    Replay a slide in Capitvate 7?

    krisn31 Community Member

      I would like to create clickable 'replay' button that takes viewer to beginning of current slide that they are listening to.

      In this project, each slide is just a powerpoint still frame with audio narration.  On each slide I have a next button that appears at end of audio narration,  and a 'back' button to take them to previous slide.  I have hidden the playback/ transport controls so that the viewer cannot just click through (they have to listen to each slide and wait for next button to appear) so that is not an option.  Help! Thanks!

          Does this work:

           

          Create a SmartShape/Button to be used for Replay.

          Assign the "On Success" action to Execute Advanced Actions

          Create a new advanced action (ex. "replaySlide")

               Action Type: Standard actions

                    Actions (what will be performed)

                         - Expression          cpCmndGotoSlide     =     cpInfoCurrentSlide     -     1

                         - Assign                 cpCmndResume     with     1

           

          Using this should replay the slide--including making the user wait for the Next button. Maybe that could be fixed by adding an action to "Show nextButton" or something like that.

            If you just want to repeat the audio, assigning a repeat button to Play Audio and selecting the clip from the library will work fine. If you want the user to be locked in to the slide again and have to listen to the entire clip before advancing you'll want to make an Advanced Action that jumps to the slide they're currently on (ie if the current slide is Slide 17 you'll set the Advanced Action to "Jump to Slide 17".) And if you want to use that on multiple slides, making a Shared Action will save you a ton of time.
